Legal loophole for 70,000 drivers disqualified since 2012
More than 70,000 drivers disqualified since 2012 who have failed to surrender their licences cannot be pursued by the courts due to a legal loophole, the Irish Examiner can reveal.
Despite it being a criminal act and subject to conviction, because of this lacuna in the law, gardaí are not prosecuting such people. Because of gaping holes in the law, disqualified drivers are allowed to circumvent the order which has been made by the court.
