‘Game up’ as M50 tailgating falls 83%
The practice of tailgating — driving right up behind larger vehicles such as lorries so as to obscure the view of the front licence plate — had become a serious problem on the M50 around Dublin, with gardaí warning that it could cause serious accidents.
Yesterday, gardaí revealed that almost all the motorists issued fixed charge penalty notices for tailgating have paid the €80 fine and received two penalty points.
