My husband was pulled over by a guard on St. Stephens day, driving home a car he had just bought for me for Christmas, he had changed his insurance over to drive it, but the car tax was out of date, he was told to produce his insurance and NCT for the car at our local station, which was the next county away, which he produced. He was also off the road on the 16th of January and cancelled his own insurance so could not tax the car.
In march he received 5 summonses for
-failure to produce nct certificate (which he did),
-failure to display nct (which the garage owner had placed on the car window himself)
-failure to provide insurance certificate (which was also done)
-driving the car without nct and
-not having tax.
He contacted the guard who issued them to him saying he had shown them at our local Garda station, the guard checked up on this and said there were records of him showing his insurance certificate but nothing about the nct..and also that he had given a few months for tax to be paid on the car, but the car has been off the road since as i have not applied for my provisional yet and the log was put in my name.
The guard said then he would withdraw the NCT ones if my husband forwarded on a copy of the NCT cert again.
My questions are..what are the usual fines for having no tax on the car? If the guard hasn't removed the other summonses he placed could we contest them?
