A motorist has been arrested after overtaking an unmarked Garda vehicle at high speed during a speed checkpoint carried out by Wexford Roads Policing Unit on the New Ross Bypass.
The driver was caught travelling at 163 km/h. The car was seized under Section 109A of the Road Traffic Act, 1961. Under this legislation, the vehicle cannot be released for two months, and the owner must apply to a district court judge to recover it through a court hearing. Further checks revealed the driver was unaccompanied and had previously had their vehicle seized twice in June for the same offence.
