Was driving up to Newlands Cross on the N7 one morning to pick someone up. I drove onto the slip road before the junction. Saw my passenger was not there, so i tried to get back into traffic with no success, so decided to go around an island back onto the dual carriageway. Garda caught me doing this action.
Now the Garda landed me with overtaking on the left and driving on the hard shoulder. No fine came or anything. NOTHING. Just a court summons.
Called solictor and she says i am likely to get 8 penalty points! 3 for one and 5 for the other.
Overtaking cars on the left happened on the slip road... since when was this illegal?? Or did i just bump into a Garda on a very bad day? The Garda can argue i was driving on the hard shoulder. Which i was not. His word against mine.
To top matters off. The judge is supposed to be a real bastard.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
