I gather a garda can seizure a car without insurance. In fact some time ago i watched a sole Garda at a checkpoint doing this. The car was pulled to the side of the road, after sometime the driver walked away and eventually a tow truck came and finally the Garda drove away. I t taught me a lesson. You will also incur 5 penalty pointsBrendan, I searched CSO but can't see where such useful information might be recorded. I tried Crime & Justice but I can't see anything obvious. Having said that I'm not a stats guru or CSO expert. Maybe a call to + would prove fruitful.
Sorry, mathepac
Not saying what you've written is untrue but how did you know what the person was pulled over for? Also, I doubt very much a Garda would leave a person on the side of the road like that and drive their car away. In particular, I'm thinking of a woman, even though it shouldn't make any difference if it was either sex.I gather a garda can seizure a car without insurance.

I have no sympathy for people who drive around with no insurance. They are lucky they aren't thrown in jail until someone produces their insurance disc. Having to ring a friend or a taxi isn't that bad considering the law they are breaking.

Know a guy who was caught driving with no insurance, no driving licence and he never held a full driving licence anyway, got fined €800 which I thought was a total joke when I heard it. This only happened about 8 months ago. Not his first time being caught as well.

No displaying a disc is a world away from not having insurance.Have to admit, I've driven for a couple of days without changing my own disc as well, I get the new one and it sits at home until I realize the month has changed
Worth watching the Gardaí twitter feed, on a regular basis they tweet about cars they've impounded for issues such as no insurance
