Mayo Council acts on cars for sale

In a new Road Safety initiative launched today, Mayo County Council has begun towing away and impounding cars that have been left on roadsides and offered for sale.

The council says cars with For Sale signs are a distraction and a hazard to other motorists.

It intends to confiscate them and crush them to discourage the practice.
