Moate's Roads Policing Unit (RPU) intercepted a disqualified driver in Athlone on Monday.

In a tongue in cheek post on the Garda Síochána Twitter page, officers dubbed the incident “not such a SMART move” as the banned motorist was driving a very distinctive Smart city-style car when stopped.

Proceedings will follow, the message added using the #SaferRoads.
