A multi-agency Garda checkpoint saw a number of road users targeted after officers spotted a number of issues in a busy tourist area.
A lesser-known law on Irish roads is that if gardai pull you over and deem your car a danger to the road you’ll be handed a large fine as well as penalty points on the spot.
There are many reasons your vehicle could be deemed unsafe by officers, but gardai would mainly be concerned about anything that might injure a pedestrian, cause damage to another vehicle, or obstruct the driver’s view.
