"If you're looking for a ride, I've the horse"... inside the back of my van.
When it comes to animal safety, the Rubberbandits had it spot on by leaving their horse outside while they stormed a wedding on Thomas Street in Limerick.
But this Dublin driver got arrested after Gardaí discovered what they described as a "large horse" being transported in the back of a van.
The Ford Transit was initially stopped for having no insurance but when checks were being done on the van, Gardaí spotted the animal.
'Stopped' your Ford Transit there's a horse.... INSIDE! ????

"Driver arrested."
This came a day after Gardaí were forced to pull a tractor over because its load of turf was endangering the lives of other road users.
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. pic.twitter.com/1qhGWyKlML

The driver got a court date for driving with a trailer which was carrying a load that wasn't secured.
Turf luck.
