    Hi All,

    I was caught by guards today.I was driving car with an expired tax disc but i put another cars disc on it to cover me and also had no insurence on the car. I do have an insurence which covers me to drive all cars but the vehicle which im driving must be insured by some one else but in my case it wasnt insured at all by some one else.
    Guards seized the car and asked me to tel the owner to produce the ownership and take the car after paying the fine.
    About the insurence he asked me to produce in the garda station , and for the tax disc he told me that you wil be somend to the court if the guard is satisfied with the insurence then there wil be only tax else will be both.
    In worst case if its both what will be the outcome.
    Anybody outthere went through it ,, will i be fined, jailed for the offence.
    Im consernd can anyone adviceme.

    Regards,

    Get a solicitor. Legal advice isn't given out on this forum.

    You have no tax, and no insurance, and worse again, you committed tax fraud by having a different disc. You're facing a lengthly ban, hefty fine, and possibly jail time, and extremely expensive Insurance if you ever decide to go back on the road.

    Swapping the discs will get you into more trouble than if you'd not displayed anything.

    Unless the OP has done something else before I doubt there'll be jail time. The rest 100% correct.
