New Ireland, UK driving fines plan
Wednesday, 28 October 2009 18:15

A new deal has been made between the UK and Ireland to ensure that disqualified drivers do not use the roads in either country.

The arrangement means that drivers from Britain or Northern Ireland who are disqualified for a motoring offence in the Republic will no longer escape that punishment when they return home.

Also disqualifications earned by Irish drivers in the UK will be recognised and enforced when they go back to the republic.

It is the first step of its kind ever to be introduced in Europe.

The agreement is to come into force next February.

Stormont Minister Edwin Poots said the new measures will keep dangerous drivers off the roads by ensuring disqualified motorists will not be able to escape their punishment.

I think it relates to points, and not just disqualifications.

to much paper work at the moment to transfer points so it will be just disqualifications for now

I wouldn't be too sure about that Frank, when it comes to stinging us they can be very efficient.

 

[the civil one]

All points ,& disqualification , for Road traffic offences.
Will be enforced on both sides of the "Dimishing" border ,which will
eventually fade away with little or no fanfare !.
Leading to an all Ireland island of Ireland.
I just hope we can take some of the Good Points of the curent Northern Ireland ,, like an Accountable "Human" Police force , Not the FARCE De Bullies we have to
endure in what was once a Republic.
