Kildare gardaí seize two uninsured cars

In a report published on 29 September 2026, Naas Roads Policing Unit in County Kildare seized a black car for having no insurance while waiting for a tow truck. A silver Honda Civic then pulled up in front of a marked Roads Policing car, and a quick phone insurance check showed it also had no insurance. Gardaí detected learner driving, driving unaccompanied, no L plates and no insurance offences by the Civic's driver, whose age, sex and nationality are not given, and the Civic was seized. The articles report no arrest, charge in court or sentence, and the latest development is the seizure and a garda warning about uninsured driving.
