Three articulated truck drivers were “traumatised but stoic” after spending two nights in custody after being detected on YouTube driving their trucks three abreast along the mainLimerick to Tralee road.

Three articulated truck drivers have been remanded in custody for two days at a Garda station following a complaint from a member of the public about a YouTube video in which they drove their huge trucks three abreast along the main Limerick to Tralee road last year.

Three articulated trucks were driven three-abreast along the main Limerick to Tralee road, blocking the oncoming lane, so it could be recorded and put on YouTube for charity, Tralee District Court was told.
