LoanShark

Hi,
I got stopped for driving a car thats motor tax was out of date (My Fault I Know)..
Anyways I'm Just wondering does anybody know what the fine for not having tax is?
Is it a fine?
Or
Is it a fine and points?

No NCT is Penal Servitude for life with Hard Labour or is that speeding???

60 fine for no tax?


So if you're paying 1000 euro tax you'd be better off risking it really wouldn't ya..

Car can be seized if tax is more than two months out of date.

Got Home Today and saw a letter, it was the letter from the rozzers.. €60..Happy Days..Although it would have been a hell of a lot of cheaper i.e. (No fine) Had I had the car in tax..But still, NO POINTS..

There is a good chance that you will get away if its out less than a month, the second month will get you a fine after three months they can impound the car. :eek:

Car can be seized after two months.

I got caught yesterday. Car was more than 3 months out date. We don't use the car and I had to get my wife to hospital. Child through the key to our normal car into a field.

They impounded the car and it will cost me 150 euro if I get it today.
35 euros for every day after that.

Happened to me couple of months back, make sure you have vehicle reg documents, insurance policy and reciept for the current and backdated tax with you when you go to pick it up or they wont give the car to you.

Should be crushed into a cube and left outside your house as a warning to others.

My wife had suffered a serious head injury and was complaining of severe pain, dizziness and confusion. Her face swelled up and the injury was way above. There was no way I was going to wait for an ambulance

Think that was directed at the OP rather than you Rob.

If I don't have Tax, Insurance or an APK on my car I consider it broken.

Their lenient on APK thing here, i.e. first time a warning and you have 2 weeks to get it done.

Tax or Insurance is immediate seizure and a fine.

Then the car got broken into & destroyed so probably Karma.
Told the cop that the criminal must have taken the disc.

I actually rang them quizzing how the crack case was going.
I was told there was no news & not to ring back about it, they'd contact me as soon as there were developments...... they didn't even have my number.:(
