The Garda Twitter account was in fine form on Wednesday evening as they posted their latest update from Tipperary roads.
A tractor driver was stopped by members of Cahir gardai who discovered that the stakes in his trailor were unsecured, among other defects. A court date was also issued.
The post read: "No lads, this isn’t a scene from Final Destination! Cahir Gardai stopped a tractor carrying this trailer yesterday. Load unsecured among defects. Lives were at 'stake' with this sharing the road. A court date to follow."
