Gardai arrest truck driver on the spot for 'dangerous' move alongside school bus

Gardai arrested a truck driver for dangerously overtaking a bus on Thursday on a main road in Kilkenny.

Officers from the road policing unit saw the 40ft truck pass the bus on a solid white line before pulling them over.

The driver was arrested and is due to appear before court at a later date.

A garda spokesperson said: "Gardaí from the Kilkenny Roads Policing Unit were on a covert patrol of the N76 between Callan and Kilkenny this afternoon when they observed a 40ft Rig overtaking a school bus on a solid double white line approaching a staggered junction in the Cuffesgrange area.

"The driver was arrested for Dangerous driving and has been charged and bailed to appear in Kilkenny District Court next month. Road Safety is everybody's responsibility."
