Gardaí seize three-wheeled tractor in Tipperary

\ Garda Traffic

Gardai seized a tractor which was being driven on three wheels in Co Tipperary this morning.

The traffic corp tweeted a picture of the New Holland, which was, quite incredibly, being driven on just three wheels.

The fourth wheel was tied to the rear of the trailer.

The driver was “wheely wheely sorry” according to gardaí.

The mind boggles.
