The incident happened on Wednesday morning
A man riding an e-scooter has shocked motorists on the country's busiest motorway this week.
The incident took place on Wednesday morning on the M50 in Dublin, when motorists spotted the individual wearing a hi-vis jacket and a backpack, speeding in the middle lane on the e-scooter.
Dangerously, cars and lorries were overtaking him before he moved to the slower lane and took the N4 exit.
The video that could be seen on X (formerly Twitter) was filmed by a motorist travelling in the slow lane of the carriageway.
