Increase in number of people who settled Garda fines for driving car without NCT

If someone is caught driving a car that does not have an NCT, they get at least three penalty points and a minimum fine of €60.

The number of people who settled Garda fines for driving a car without an NCT increased by 15% last year.

At least 6,000 motorists were punished for driving a car that was not roadworthy.
