Read an interesting article in Irish Times Motoring supplement this week, about untaxed cars in Ireland. It seems that 10% of the cars sold in Ireland since January of this year have not yet been taxed for road use. Is this a symptom of the recession ? Or is it a message to the Government that road tax for cars is too expensive and not justified considering the state of our regional roads and the fact that a taxi only pays 78 euro a year in road tax ? Or perhaps it's the fact that drivers do not fear the 65 euro on the spot fine if stopped by Gardai. Maybe Minister Dempsey should add the offence to the penalty points menu!
Anyway, taxed or not have a safe Bank Holiday weekend if you're out and about.
