    But why?

    Have a gawk at the screen...

    Image090.jpg

    Photobucket wouldn't let me upload the full size image, so I've attached them instead

    Sorry mods if this thread is inappropiate, I just want to show people the hard necks some people have :rolleyes:

    Is the Insurance date 05? Why not report it to the guards instead of crying about it on the internet?

    Yes it is :eek:

    Believe me, I've been into the Gardai many, many times and its still going about. I've lost faith at this stage :(

    What year is the car - the number plate is so dirty I can't make it out.
    Just wondering if it also overdue for NCT and if the tax is up to date.

    The numberplate is conveniently dirty isn't it :rolleyes:

    It's an 02 registered car, I couldn't get a decent snap due to the obnoxiously parked lorrey in the 2nd pic :rolleyes:

    Tax out 08/06 :rolleyes: you can zoom in to see it better

    There isn't even a holder for the nct!

    I could be wrong but the tax looks like it's up since Oct 06! I don't think we need to think too hard about the NCT if that is how things are! Incredible that you've reported it several times with nothing being done!

    How recent is that picture? That's only a 5 minute walk from the Garda station, give them a bell tell them you saw an uninsured (explain the discs) driver park it up and you expect them back shortly. If they are caught driving it the car will be taken off them and I doubt they would pay to get it back.

    Yes it is, kennedy plaza. That car makes an appearance there now and again on a regular basis.

    I haven't seen any around the town in months, I'd say theyre still about though. Then again I'm not around as much as I used to be...

    Don't report it to the local station. Report it to traffic watch and insist they log it. Once its logged, the local station have to investigate.

    If you think that is bad my neighbours son is a guard, hes staying with hes parents for Christmas.

    The guy living next to him well call him joe, has hes car parked directly in front of the guards car across from there houses.

    Joe has no licence, tax, insurance or nct on the car and he is driving it every day.

    There isnt even a disc holder on the window for f**k sake!

    In fairness there could be a chance that the car is insured and the owner can't be arsed displaying the disc. I doubt its taxed or NCTd though.

    Exactly - It's not insured. So which insurance company would you report it to and why would it be of any interest to them??

    In my experience there are very few, if any, checkpoints outside the Dublin area. Shame on the Gardai for that. They could alleviate the financial pain the state is in by collecting tax / fining tax dodgers and yet they do nothing.

    Completely agree, lived and drove in Dublin for 5 years and would meet a checkpoint once every 2 months. I drive 20k+ km p/a now, mostly rural with business and have not seen a single checkpoint in the 2 years I have been doing it.
