Bridewell Gardaí came across this poorly parked car causing an obstruction in Stoneybatter.

When they spoke with the driver it transpired that they had been disqualified.

The car itself was uninsured, untaxed and had no NCT.

While conducting a checkpoint near Roundwood Co. Wicklow this afternoon, we stopped this car - the driver had no insurance.

But what's more, none of the three rear seat passengers were wearing seatbelts.

All five occupants have been fined, and the car seized.

Our Commercial Vehicle Unit seized this lorry at Dublin Port which has not been taxed since it was imported into Ireland.

You can only drive a lorry professionally when you have a valid driver CPC card - he didn't have one.

Neither had he a haulage licence.

A fake insurance disc is one thing.

A false insurance cert like this one presented to Naas Gardaí is another thing altogether - that means you go from a road traffic offence to a possible fraud charge.

Irishtown Gardaí stopped this car on the N11 in Dublin 4 after they spotted on their Mobility device that it hadn't been taxed for over a year and a half.

They then learned that the driver didn't have insurance or a valid NCT, and he had no driving licence either.

While carrying out a checkpoint in Ballyforan, this driver was found to have no tax, insurance & NCT.

A further check found that the driver was a learner travelling alone.

All learner drivers must have a qualified driver accompanying them while getting to grips with the roads.

We urge everyone to be mindful of their speed while driving, and help do your part to reduce the number of collisions on our roads.
