Gardai in Milford today have used automatic number plate recognition to intercept a car and motorist who was in breach of multiple laws.
The car was found to have no insurance, tax or NCT. The driver was also holding a mobile phone.
The car was seized by officers and the driver will have to appear in court.
Garda Traffic Corps vehicles use Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems to automatically read vehicle registration plates.
The technology can read number plates at a rate of six per second on vehicles travelling up to 180km/h. ANPR systems also include a speed detection capability and can identify vehicles as being stolen, untaxed, suspect, cited as connected with various crimes.
