A 16-year-old driver of a tractor who was stopped by the PSNI on the M1 motorway near Lisburn was travelling from Co. Cavan to Ballymena.
Officers from Road Policing Strategic Unit - Mahon Road - stopped the tractor eariler today on the M1 Motorway adding that tractors are not allowed to use motorways.
The teenage driver, who only had a provisional entitlement in the Republic of Ireland, should not have been driving on any road in Northern Ireland.
The PSNI said his parents now have a three hour journey from Cavan to come to Lisburn and deal with the matter.
