They go from Dublin port to Baldonnel on the back of a transport truck, and should only leave on the back of the transport truck. The low speed suggests it's still in transport mode (bit like limp mode), so what it's doing in that state, at that (well, any) point on the M50 is a mystery. At least it has a "support" vehicle, but totally unbranded. Very strange, very very strange.

Cars weren't allowed to be driven on the road until PDI ( pre-delivery inspection ) carried out. PDI involves taking car out of delivery mode and general prep work.. wheel torque, pressure, hubcaps etc.. This car looks fresh off the truck, don't think anyone would chance driving it on the M50 like this. Looks like they got caught out somehow!
