Motorists in south worst offenders for defective lights, say gardaí

Motorists in the south of the country are the worst offenders in relation to defective lights, a Garda study shows.

More than 500 southern drivers were detected with defective, broken or missing lights last month as part of ‘Operation Light-Up’.

While 380 of those received a caution, 128 faced prosecution or were given an on-the-spot fine.
