Galway Bay fm newsroom – AA Ireland says almost 2 thousand Galway drivers convicted of penalty point offences but who didn’t have the points endorsed on their licences, could lose out on insurance claims.
A garda operation is now set to target drivers who avoid penalty points by failing to provide their licence in court.
More than 20-thousand people nationwide failed to produce their licences between the start of last year and March – despite it being punishable by three months in prison or a 2-thousand euro fine.
According to the Irish Independent, the problem is most rampant in Limerick and Leitrim – where over 90 per cent of convicted motorists failed to produce their licence.
Director of Consumer Affairs with AA Ireland, Conor Faughnan told Keith Finnegan that motorists could be liable to lose out if they make an insurance claim.
