Hi,
Today I was stopped in Dublin City by chance by Gardaí on patrol that happened to be crossing the road and got a summons for tax that is out since 2017 and I even had it declared off the road, reason being because this was the backup if my wife’s car (primary) give trouble and trouble it did in April which forced us to my car.
The Garda touched on the valid NCT pointing that I had obviously driven it then to test it which he’s right and again it was temp due to the primary car being out.
It’s safe to say this has caught up with me because just two weeks ago I received a fixed charge from be by a traffic warden in a free car park so a double whammy if you like.
Thankfully he didn’t impound the car since I had the wife and kids in the back and maybe that’s why plus not being from the area at that.
Ok am not here looking for sympathies and am sure anyone reading this would be thinking you would have learnt your lesson by now but giving an account of what I just said what do you reckon will happen when I go to court as I have never being in this situation before, am paranoid to think what sort of fine I will be hit with and if the judge would take my circumstances into consideration at this time with finances etc?
