Bumper sticker tempts fate as unaccompanied learner driver arrested
An unaccompanied learner driver’s bumper sticker foreshadowed their arrest after they were caught out by Gardaí.
Of course, bumper stickers can be a fun and quirky way of displaying your personality when driving your car — from the informative ‘baby on board’ to a sad cartoon character pleading with the car behind you to let you merge.
However, one of the ‘my driving scares me too’ sticker holders ended up tempting fate as they were pulled over by Gardaí in Laois on Monday, April 20.

Gardaí caught the vehicle driving 77km/h in a 50km/h zone — already a bad enough offence — before they discovered that the driver of the Honda was an unaccompanied learner.
And to add the cherry on top, the driver tested positive for cannabis.
‘Honesty is great, but safety is better,’ Gardaí wrote in a warning on Facebook.
‘If your driving scares you, it’s time to get off the road…’
Of course, some road arrests may have some people thinking: ‘how did they think they’d get away with that!?’
But, alas, truth is stranger than fiction — case in point, this ‘you couldn’t make it up’ moment when Gardaí stopped a disqualified driver in Dublin.
