Man driving Porsche caught without tax & speeding on Co Kildare road

A Sergeant has told Naas District Court how people being caught for no road tax are trying to avoid penalties by transferring their cars to another owner.

Evidence was given by Sgt Michael Keevens how on St Patrick's Day, 2016, the 41-year-old accused was caught driving over the speed limit and without road tax at Dublin Road, Naas.

Sgt Keevens outlined to the court how the accused was driving a Porsche jeep and was speeding at 80km/hr in a 50km zone.

The tax had expired on February 8, 2015.

Sgt Keevens said that the fines were not paid and that the Porsche was transferred to another owner and then transferred back again.

Judge Desmond Zaidan imposed a €500 fine for driving at a speed of 80km/hr in a 50km zone.

For not having road tax, he was convicted and fined €1,000.
