Penalty Points

GBX

I was stopped by the Garda for driving with out of date tax - no issue their, tax renewed and new disc on front window. FPN paid. Does this automatically incur 2/3 penalty points and would these be applied to a license/driver number straight away or as and when the Garda files the paperwork?

They won't be applied at all. Motor tax offences don't incur penalty points. Once you've paid your fine that should be the end of the matter.

Excellent. Thank you. RSA/citizens information didn't specifically mention this.

What a sсummy man

Cyclists going through red lights should get points.

Write to your local politician. Irrelevant to my question.

Then why start a thread on it?

It was a question about penalty points and road tax. Not cyclists. But you stick to your agenda

How do you police that!

I was driving through Cork City centre on Sunday and the amount of cyclists, many who were tourists cycling through red lights was comical. Some form of regulation for insurance to cycle should have been introduced. Anyone availing of the road system with a vehicle should be made to contribute.

a) that post was totally off topic.

b) you're responding to a banned troll.
