    And about time too

    Sick of the farmers traversing the country breaking the law with no registration numbers on their trailers and trailers unworthy of being on the road, bald tyres, broken lights etc, accidents waiting to happen

    It's the first time in my life to see a farmer being stopped for lack of registration plates and hope to see more of it

    Well done Garda!

    That farmer just made his number plates disappear.

    Sure last week, he turned a cow into a field!

    Ya think? You're wrong.

    This is a scourge by farmers, a lot of them are breaking the law and nothing has been done about it, the country is almost bankrupt, here's a way to recoup some money, by activating the law and fining them, just like I'd get fined if drove around the country without reg numbers. Simples

    I'd say the Reg plate accidentally fell off.

    Our neighbour bought a car in November 1989 and it " for reg " until January

    You could do it if you wanted to wait a few months and get next years number

    Anyone remember for reg? :D

    Whats "For Reg" ??

    This means - lacking a number plate right?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Ah you're a young un

    You have no registration plate and you don't intend to do it for a few months so you stick on a sign for reg

    Good times :)

    If the farmers did this it might be some small consolation showing intent but wandering around the country without respect for the law.grrrrr

    Use my eyes where? Where are you seeing the unroadworthy trailers? And you say they're 'traversing the country'? Are they livestock trailers, turf trailers, bale trailers? Why don't you report them if you have a genuine concern? No not blind thankfully. Great sense of smell too, especially for bullshiit.
