Gardaí in Longford stopped the driver's vehicle for speeding on Friday night, after which it was discovered the young driver had no valid NCT, tax or L plates on display.
He failed a roadside alcohol breathalyser and also tested positive for cocaine.
Gardaí seized the vehicle.
In a statement issued on X today (April 2), a Garda spokesperson stated, "We work hard to enforce road traffic legislation nationwide and this is an example of what we are up against on a daily basis and what endangers you as road users."
