    New penalty points from today

    New offences
    The new offences that will now draw penalty points include:
    Failure by learner or novice drivers to display L plates or N plates respectively on their cars;
    Drivers breaking a ban on U-turns;
    Breaking rules on the use of mini roundabouts;
    Offences relating to the size and weight of larger vehicles;
    Going beyond no-entry to vehicles signs;
    Disobeying traffic control signs;
    and driving without a licence plate or with one that has been altered inaccurately.

    Offences that will now face a change to the number of penalty points they now carry will include:
    Driving without a test certificate;
    Dangerous parking;
    Failure to keep to the left-hand side of the road;
    Dangerous overtaking;
    Driving across the road’s middle line;
    Failure to stop for a stop sign;
    Failure to yield at a yield sign or yield line;
    Not following traffic signs at junctions;
    Breaking traffic light rules;
    and breaking of speed restrictions.
    Could this one about the number plate altercation include German plates?

    Isn't the licence plate to do with weight restriction plates on HGVs?

    F U C K T H E M!!!
    all its about is revenue now, the garda are fine collectors.
    I know they are not all the same, but there is a lot of P R I C K S out there that give them a bad name, I know it's a hard job, but they don't do themselves any favors with thier attitudes.
    Rant over.

    And not 1 point for driving in the middle lane on the M50 or for lane hogging.
    Load of crap won't be enforced.
