    Realistically the OP isn't getting a fine but technically as someone posted earlier, the Garda can still issue a fine. It can and has been done. Will it be done, very unlikely as if he was going to it would have been easier to ask for the license there and then so there is no risk of someone chancing a court date.

    Looks like the Officer used his discretion to give you a verbal warming, if he didn't take your details he or she will not be issuing anything to you. While chatting with you he/she assessed the situation and you and any passengers. Had you been smoking a joint or smelling of alcohol thing might have been different.

    You don't know what you're taking about.

    There's a little thing called , discretion.

    That's how oral evidence works.

    You say what you saw.

    How do you think courts operated before cameras.

    ...

    I really worry about our future generations

    I was pulled over maybe 18 years ago at this stage riding a motorbike.

    Garda checked all my details and let me on my way, few weeks later summons in the post, reason , license plate was too small.

    Not a word said by the Garda at the time.

    i told the judge I didn’t know there was a problem at the time as nothing was said to me, and if there was something said I could of rectified the problem.

    the judge let me on my way.
