Gardai 'pick up' six uninsured cars at Dublin checkpoint
Drivers face prosecution before the courts
A number of motorists who were stopped at a checkpoint in north Co. Dublin are facing prosecution before the courts after they were caught driving without insurance.
In a post on social media highlighting the detections, gardai revealed that members of the Roads Policing Unit in Santry 'picked up' a total of six cars which did not have insurance.
A photo published on X, formerly Twitter, shows a number of the cars being removed from the area on a transporter truck after they were seized.
According to gardai, two of the six cars which were seized were being driven by individuals who are disqualified from driving.
All of those stopped are now facing a court appearance and if they are convicted of driving without insurance they face a mandatory disqualification and a potential prison sentence.
