Gardaí Intercept Uninsured Motor Vehicles In Tipperary.

Tipperary Gardaí, through their Roads Policing Units, have intercepted two motor vehicles, after alerts for no insurance were detected.

The interceptions here in North Tipperary, were detected in the areas of Nenagh and Roscrea, using new Integrated Traffic Applications (App’s), which have more updated real-time data, and which can detect road users without Insurance and other offences.

The Integrated Traffic App device can scan a vehicles registration plate and automatically returns relevant data. The device can also scan a driving licence and automatically return real time information, immediately, on the roadside to the investigating Gardaí. This updated App has proved successful in identifying false or forged driving licences, uninsured and untaxed cars, stolen vehicles and disqualified drivers. This Offences App also provides offence details including penalty points and fines.

In the case of the above stated uninsured offences, the vehicles were seized and drivers will be summoned to appear, in due course, in their local district Court.
