IT WAS a bad day for a learner driver who was caught speeding at almost 60km/h over the speed limit in Limerick last week.

According to a post on the An Garda Sรญochรกna Limerick Facebook page, local Gardaรญ clocked a black Renault Clio speeding at 159km/h in a 100 zone.

Not only was the driver a learner, they were accompanied by โ€œabsolutely no oneโ€ and, as regards insurance, there was โ€œnone to be foundโ€. โ€œResult? One very short journeyโ€ฆ straight onto a tow truck,โ€ Gardaรญ said.

A court date for the uninsured learner driver was pending.
