Gardai pull over driver for choice of clothes before making arrest

A motorcyclist wearing just a tee-shirt and shorts was pulled over and later arrested during Ireland's heatwave on Wednesday.

Gardai in Cavan stopped the biker for their choice of clothes before finding a number of problems with the road-users documents and state.

The motorist had no insurance, no rear brakes and also failed a drug test before being arrested.

A garda spokesperson said: "Cavan Road Policing Unit were on the R188 (Cootehill Road) yesterday when they stopped a motorcyclist wearing only a tee shirt and shorts. The driver had no insurance, no rear brakes and then failed the roadside drugs test and tested positive for both cocaine and cannabis. Needless to say this motorcyclist was arrested and the motorcycle was taken off the road."
