ANPR - automatic number-plate recognition. The Guards have a few on trial apparently for tax but not insurance or NCT certs. Why? motor tax is payable to the State, but not the other two.Police cars use NPPR
Given that the practice is so widespread, I think the spot impounding of the car should be introduced with a very hefty release fee.
Repeat offenders should get time.
The UK has now gotten rid of the tax disc
Police cars use NPPR to scan the reg and check it out.
Not sure why the Gardai can't use the same rather than depending on paper in a window.
I thought they could do this already.

I have travelled across Country for more than 30 years visiting home, about 130 miles each way, during that time I have been stopped twice at checkpoints.
I read in last few months about a blitz on cars parked in some dublin shopping centres ... more of that please.
I heard someone on the radio saying that it was a bigger problem in some areas than others. I wonder if that is part of it?
Are they Garda figures, compiled from the 250,000,000 checks they did last year on the 8,000,000 cars in the country?I don't drive that much, but surely a few Garda checkpoints would pick these up very quickly.
