Gardaí seize taxi after driver unbuckles and overloads
A TAXI has been seized for not following basic road safety measures.
The taxi was a five-seater and had six total passengers.
Of the six, two were ‘small children’ and not wearing a seatbelt.
According to the Gardaí; ‘If you are over 17 you are legally responsible for wearing your seatbelt in a vehicle whether you are a driver or a passenger. Responsibility lies with the driver to ensure that all passengers under the age of 17 wear a seat belt or have a proper child restraint.’
The car has been seized and court will follow.
