Last Week In Numbers: Kildare Gardaí Arrest 17 & Seize 48 Vehicles For A Range Of Motor Offences

The figures were posted on the Kildare Garda Division Facebook page

Kildare Gardai have seized a total of 48 vehicles for a range of motor offences in the past week.

In a post on their Facebook post, An Garda Síochána say some drivers were unaccompanied learners, disqualified drivers, had no insurance, no tax or no NCT. 

Elsewhere, in the past 7 days, Gardai have arrested 17 motorists for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. 

That figure represents a decrease in the number from the week previous, but Gardai say they can't get complacent. 

Penalties for drink and drug driving include disqualification periods ranging from 1 to 6 years, fines up to €5,000, and up to 6 months imprisonment.
