i think some 'regular looking' cars that have their controls customised for disabled users can be tax exempt.

other than that, not much :pac:

OP, are you talking about cars that have such low emissions that they are tax exempt?

If in the vicinity of a Garda station these are Black Ops Super Covert Undercover cars which are so undercover that the VLC is actually not registered to the State, even bills for maintenance and repair are not billed to the State, they are trully undercover, even the original purchase is not billed to the State. The exempt tax disc allows it to be parked for 9 or 10 hours a day in a pay and display area completely free, ideal for a full working shift of covert operations.

A friend of mine who lost a leg drove an automatic, and was exempt.

The car had to be modified for disabled driving. His modification? One of those €3 thumb breakers.
