An underage driver had his vehicle seized at a checkpoint in Waterford City last night.

A statement from Gardai outlined that Gardai from the Waterford Roads Policing Unit conducted a checkpoint at the Six Cross Roads in Waterford City last night (Monday April 4th) at 10.30pm.

Upon approaching the checkpoint, a young driver was stopped when it was found that the car he was driving was not insured.

It then transpired that the driver in question was unqualified – and was in fact a sixteen-year-old.

Gardai seized the vehicle in question, but no arrests were made.
