Warning For Drivers Going To Northern Ireland
If you plan on driving to Northern Ireland for pre-christmas shopping, or other reasons, be warned that if your car doesn't have a current road tax disc, you run the risk of having it clamped by the PSNI, and the imposition of a £200(stg)fine.
The clamping company called in by the PSNI to cripple your car, will not accept cash, and if you don't possess a credit car you will be getting a taxi home.
If you produce a current road tax disc to them later they will refund £120.
This alarming development poses some serious questions as to why the PSNI can impose such a penalty on a southern motorist for failing to pay revenue to the southern authorities, especially in view of the fact that no such reciprocal action can be applied by the Gardai to Northern motorists in the south, other than for having no insurance.
