Gardaí from the Waterford Roads Policing Unit seized two cars from learner drivers in separate incidents over the weekend.
In a post on social media, Waterford gardaí said that in the first instance, while on patrol, they observed a motorist run a red light.
They discovered the driver was an unaccompanied learner and seized the car.
Gardaí say the driver will receive a fine and penalty points.
In the second incident on Saturday morning, gardaí were conducting a checkpoint.
They seized a vehicle from another learner driver who was not only unaccompanied but had no L-plates.
Waterford gardaí say the driver had failed the test multiple times.
In addition to the seizure of the car, the driver will be issued a fine and penalty points.
Gardai said not to take any risks and be informed of your responsibilities.
They recommended checking out Citizens Information for what you need to do as a learner driver.
