A thirteen-year-old boy was stopped by Gardaí in Co. Waterford yesterday while driving a car.

Gardaí were on routine patrol on Thursday evening, when they passed a vehicle.

They commented about how young-looking the driver appeared, and decided to stop the car.

They discovered the driver was just 13 years old and learned that two passengers in the car were the boy's parents.
