Gardaí confirmed that the motorist was subsequently arrested and charged with the offence. They will now appear before the courts.
The car itself was also seized under Section 109(A) of the Road Traffic Act. In order to get a vehicle back under this legislation, the driver must now apply to the Judge of the District Court.
A spokesperson for An Garda Síochána in the county commented on this, saying, "This type of behaviour has no place on our roads and endangers lives and other road users."
