Our members from Blanchardstown held a joint agency checkpoint yesterday with our friends from @RSAIreland . When this truck driver pulled in to our stop, we found out that he has been disqualified from driving for 20 years. Needless to say he did not drive back out again.

69 people have been killed on Irish roads already this year. We’ve knocked on more than 60 front doors to have to deliver the most earth shattering news to loved ones, “I’m sorry to tell you but…” Please drive safely this May bank holiday weekend. #SaferRoads

About 10pm last night, Gardaí in Castleisland, Co. Kerry came upon this car being driven erratically. The young driver tested positive for cocaine and cannabis - that explains that. We figured out too that the car was neither taxed nor insured. #SaferRoads

Did you know that towing a trailer or a caravan requires a driver to hold a Category B Driving Licence? No, this driver didn't either but he does now thanks to Gardaí in Mountrath, Co. Laois. Full details of the requirement: #SaferRoads

It's a bit of a myth that using a phone while behind the wheel is only a road traffic offence if it's up to a person's ear. In fact, distracted driving can be dealt with as careless and even dangerous driving. The newsfeeds and notifications can all wait. #SaferRoads

While conducting a checkpoint near Roundwood Co. Wicklow this afternoon, we stopped this car - the driver had no insurance. But what's more, none of the three rear seat passengers were wearing seatbelts. All five occupants have been fined, and the car seized. #SaferRoads
