    Just saw this on twitter. What powers do the Gardai have to inforce UK law (assuming MOT and reg are U based)?

    S41(f) of the Road Traffic Act 1994 allows Gardai to seize any foreign registered vehicle which hasn't a valid vehicle roadworthiness test in accordance with EU requirements.

    Many may not be aware of this, but a large number of Garda cars carry in their boot a huge volume which details most foreign driving licences, testing certificates etc, gives translations and shows what to look for to identify fakes - on the last point my guess is your picture is a fake Технически преглед of Bulgaria pass. :cool:

    You might be surprised at the bulletins sent to all gardai with pictures, translations and security items of foreign licences

    Some will remember a few years ago when a Garda noticed a lot of summons issued to one particular foreign name. Upon looking into it, he discovered it was the Polish translation of 'Driving Licence'

    It is a technical test certificate. The equivalent of the NCT. The vehicle details/validity period are on the reverse.

    Thanks for that, was meant to say Технически преглед (technical review) instead of National Agency for Assessment and Accreditation, god dam copy and paste :)
