If you skipped paying the road tax it is likely you skipped the insurance too. Hopefully you will learn from whatever the outcome is as you not only endangered your wife and kids but other road users too.
the judge can give you points on your license for any road offence solely depending on himself/herself?
Really? Can you get points for non display of Tax? I thought penalty points could only be issued in relation to safety . . anything else weakens a points system which should be solely about road safety.You will almost certainly get points on your licence and a fine.
I think the whole collection, checking and enforcement of road tax is crazy. Just add it to fuel costs and allow hauliers and farmers some kind of rebate. Save Garda and Court time, and it becomes difficult to avoid.Yes, it's a crazy system.
Yes, really. It's not just a non-display offence. OP signed a form declaring his vehicle off road and then used it while the declaration was in force. There was no tax disc and the vehicle was untaxed at the time of detection. That's three offences so far, and the most serious offence, which supercedes any safety considerations, is apparently attempting to deprive the State of revenue through a false declaration.Really?

Jobs for public service boys and girls, sure what would they be doing otherwise?I think the whole collection, checking and enforcement of road tax is crazy. Just add it to fuel costs and allow hauliers and farmers some kind of rebate. Save Garda and Court time, and it becomes difficult to avoid.
there are no excuses, I see so many out of date taxed cars when Im out walking, you are lucky the car was not seized, it should have been.
Bizarre how some people (founder included) are not up to speed regarding the whole penalty point system
No penalty points for No Tax but it could have been impouded with all the associated costs. You will need to pay back motor tax for the period that the car was genuinely off the road. Back up car will not cut the mustard without it being fully compliant even for temporary use. Go to your local motor tax office and regularise the matter immediately. Turn up in court with all your documentation with your documentation and plead your case yourself
Why should the founder or anyone here know this ? The clue is in the name of the site .....Bizarre how some people (founder included) are not up to speed regarding the whole penalty point system,
