Kildare motorist had no tax or insurance
Naas Roads Policing Unit stopped the motorist on the R409 at Donore, Caragh, Co Kildare
Naas Roads Policing Unit (Naas RPU) recently conducted a proactive ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) patrol on the R409 at Donore, Caragh, Co Kildare.
Naas RPU stopped a vehicle after an automatic alert indicated the vehicle had no insurance and no motor tax.
Subsequent checks confirmed the offences and the vehicle was seized and impounded under road traffic legislation.
A Fixed Charge Penalty Notice was issued for having no motor tax.
The driver will now appear before the courts for insurance offences.
An Garda Síochána Kildare notes that driving without insurance is a serious offence.
A conviction can result in:
- A fine of up to €5,000
- Disqualification from driving for 2 years
- Additional costs, penalties and long-term consequences
A garda spokesperson stated of the incident: “Choosing to drive without insurance is a deliberate decision that puts every road user at risk. There are no excuses.
“Naas Roads Policing Unit will continue to proactively target uninsured, untaxed and dangerous drivers. If your vehicle is on the road, ensure it is insured, taxed and fully compliant with the law.”
