An Irish learner motorcyclist has been caught travelling at more than double the speed limit over the Bank Holiday weekend.

In a post on social media, gardaí said the driver was stopped in Dublin 15 after being clocked at a whopping 129km/h in a 60km/h zone.

Upon further inspection, it was also found that the motorcyclist was a learner permit holder who was not displaying an L tabard - a legal requirement for learner motorcyclists on Irish roads.

"This motorcyclist was stopped yesterday in Dublin 15 after being detected travelling at a speed of 129km/hr in a 60km/hr zone," the post began. 

"The motorcyclist was a learner driver and did not have an L Tabard displayed."
