An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na<\/a> Laois-Offaly said: “No … it’s a 17-year-old unaccompanied learner permit holder travelling at 174km\/h on the M7. Not exactly the sort of flying lesson we recommend.<\/p>\n“The vehicle was stopped and promptly seized under Section 109 of the Road Traffic Act.<\/p>\n
“Now comes the awkward conversation. The registered owner, whether that’s Mammy or Daddy, will have to apply to the District Court if they want the car returned.”<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed added: “Handing over the keys to an inexperienced driver doesn’t just put lives at risk. It can also leave you explaining to a judge why your car should come home.<\/p>\n
“If your son or daughter has recently started driving, have that conversation today. It might be the most important driving lesson they ever receive.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Laois garda\u00ed have seized a car after an unaccompanied 17-year-old learner driver was detected travelling at 174km\/h.
