ALERT! Motorists warned to check registration plates as Gardaí hand out hefty fines
Gardaí can now issue the Fixed Charge Notice per registration plate
Gardaí are reminding motorists across Ireland that they could be subject to a €60 Fixed Charge Notice for displaying non-conforming registration plates.
Non-conforming Irish registration plates include those that:
- Use custom or non-standard fonts
- Have incorrect sizes, colours, or spacing
- Omit the EU flag or “IRL” identifier
- Are designed to defeat ANPR systems
An Garda Síochána have said for each non-regulation, missing, or obscured plate a €60 Fixed Charge Notice can be issued per plate.
All registration plates must meet Irish format and visibility standards.
Earlier this week, the Naas Roads Policing Unit stopped a vehicle which was displaying non-conforming registration plates.
