I would imagine that if you are committing a road offence then your insurance might be invalidated anyway?It is an offence to drive a car that is liable for testing without displaying a National Car Testing Service disc and offenders will face fines of up to 1,500 euro.
Port said:As someone who has worked closely with the Gardai it is an offence not to have an NCT cert displayed for those cars which required it. Currently if stopped and you don't have a cert displayed you have 10 days to produce an NCT certificate for the car at a Driver nominated station. Failure to produce a cert within 10 days results in an Road Traffic Offence. Insurance wise I don't believe it's an issue but it's not my area of expertise.
Another glorious success story from the decentralisation archives...CMCR said:Don't worry above link form Limerick City Council website - it's a standard form and can be used anywhere
MidlandsBase said:Bood-007. I have personally been involved in cases last year with the Gardai where people were before the courts for the following ; No NCT, No Tax and speeding. I am not sure which papers you actively scan for NCT and Tax offences but certainly my local paper in the midlands does not go by one month without either been mentioned as a court article.
I also was stopped last week where my Tax was out of date from end of August (had it at home but never popped it into the plastic holder) and had 10 days to turn up at my nominated garda station and display it. When I went down to the local station the Garda checked on PULSe where it was recorded that I had to bring in my tax. He duely noted it brought it and closed off the record. So to say that they don't give a rats This post will be deleted if not edited to remove bad language is completely erroneous. I can give you the name of at least 10 Garda in the Dublin Traffic Corp who certainly do give a rats This post will be deleted if not edited to remove bad language about such infringements.
