Gardai call out 'bright spark' with untaxed car in Cork

A driver in called was caught by Gardai after trying to trick them with fake disc on their windscreen.

The driver was stopped in Cork and his car was seized.

"This bright spark below in Cork figured he could trick us with this top notch artwork. Lovely use of font. We might have missed being able to admire it at 5:30am on Tuesday morning but for our Mobility Device," said Garda Traffic on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"The car was also untaxed so it was seized and court will follow. The risks of driving without insurance are greater than ever so it's a gamble too risky - your prospects depend on it," they added.
