Gardai in Tipperary had a very busy afternoon recently, stopping and seizing two cars for breaking the law after getting an alert on their app.
The device scans the registration plates and automatically returns relevant data. The device can also scan a driving licence and automatically return real time information on the roadside to the Garda. This has proved successful in identifying false or forged driving licences and disqualified drivers.And it helped one specific crew in Tipperary recently.A spokesperson explained: "We discovered: No Insurance, No NCT, No Tax and a Learner Driver driving unaccompanied with no L/Plates.
Then, just hours later the same unit were once again on patrol when getting a notification from the app about a car in Templemore.
