Motorist attempted to dodge Kilkenny checkpoint

Kilkenny Roads Policing unit had another busy night last Saturday.

While conducting a Mandatory Intoxicant Testing Checkpoint, they encountered a motorist who decided the testing 'was not for him' and failed to stop.

A short time later this motorist was stopped by the Roads Policing Unit on the Bennettsbridge Road and he failed a breath test.

He was arrested and his car was seized for no insurance.
