    No but if they have an address linked to the vehicle it would be easy enough to collect it from there if summons are ignored.
    Can they legally do that if the vehicle is on private property. And even if they can, is'nt it just as easy to do as they are now doing ?

    if the Vehicle has been captured on ANPR I'm sure they can do it.

    I'm suggesting freeing up Garda resources. As I have mentioned they seem to have the numbers to mount checkpoints and do lads for tax etc but they don't seem to be able to stop the anti social behaviour on main streets up and down the county during the week. Maynooth is a warzone on a Monday night and never any sign of a Garda.

    I was talking to a taxi driver today who told me he was out of tax 6 months and passed through several checkpoints unmolested.

    True...its unverified but Ive no reason to disbelieve him..he was paying his tax :)

    I see them do this all the time and all the times I've seen they duck into an estate or side road go in turn and come back out no issue at all. Quite obvious something ain't right on the car that does it.

    They won't, especially when you have TD's standing in the Dail telling everyone it is ok to drink and drive so you can visit their pub.

    Meh, does it really though?

    Granted the unaccompanied L should be on the bus for the next five years but how many of the other drivers pulled where dead or had killed anyone?

    So because they weren't dead (:confused:) or hadn't killed anyone it's ok to do what they like? :rolleyes:

    No, it's not.

    No, it's not ok for them to do as they like as it is against the law. But the poster describing the licenced drivers doing 150km/h as utter madness is ott.

    if they collided with you at that speed you'd turn the air blue if you weren't seriously injured or dead!

    Speed limits are the maximum permissible, not a minimum target!

    Collisions are mercifully rare on the motorway. Plus the chances are that I'd be doing 130 so there'd be a differential of 20km/h.

    Someone doing 60km/h through a town is so much worse.

    Really think it's time for no chat / debate in this thread, i.e. twitter posts only.

    Can afford what looks like an F30 BMW but thinks driving while disqualified and uninsurance are optional:

    Would be interesting to know what is handed out in court as obviously a longer disqualification won't be a deterrent.

    Did the chicken curry story come from the Twitter a/c?
