GARDAÍ were left stunned at a driver’s response after pulling over a wrecked car that was being driven in Co. Clare.
The vehicle – of undetermined make and model – was pulled over by the Ennis Roads Policing Unit.
The driver, who was either oblivious to the damage or chancing his arm, even told gardaí: “It’s actually not that bad, Guard.”

Unsurprisingly, gardaí deemed the vehicle to be dangerously defective and the driver now has a date in court.
Presumably it’ll be a taxi to the courthouse.
Twitter users were just as stunned as gardaí that the vehicle was on the roads.

Did you stop it or did a wall stop it?

Perhaps the sun has gotten to drivers in Ireland this week.
Yesterday gardaí revealed an unaccompanied learner driver, who was stopped in a bus lane, claimed he had no L-plates as the hot weather had burned them off.
