The vehicle was seized and the driver faces a district court appearance in the future

THREE was not the lucky number of a motorist in Limerick who had to walk home after his car was seized and will have to take a trip to court in the future.

Gardai observed three tax discs in the windscreen of a car on Saturday night but none of them covered up to March 2026 . They expired in June 2023, November 2023 and December 2024 respectively.

Gardai shared a photo of the tax discs on their An Garda Siochana Limerick social media accounts.  

“Gardai in Limerick stopped this vehicle last night while on routine patrol. Three tax discs in the windscreen… none in date. Unfortunately, stacking them doesn’t make one valid,” they wrote.

Matters got worse for the driver as he or she was found to have no insurance or NCT either.

“The vehicle was seized and the driver will now face a court appearance for having no insurance, NCT or valid tax.”
