Gardaí post timely photo highlighting the dangers of drink driving

With Paddy’s Day right around the bend, the popular Twitter account for An Garda Síochána has delivered a stark reminder of the dangers of drink driving.

Gardaí in Thurles attended a crash last night where the driver is suspected of being over the drink driving limit - which stands at 50mg for those with a full licence.

The driver also had been disqualified and had no insurance or tax.

The gardaí believe the driver hit a parked car causing his own to overturn.

Thankfully no one was injured in the crash.

While @GardaTraffic is usually used to show the lighter side of policing in the country, this should serve as a timely reminder of the danger involved with driving under the influence of alcohol or illegal substances.

@RayMcGrath We like a laugh but a miracle nobody was injured and nothing funny about drink driving.
