Under road traffic legislation such vehicles, when used on the public road or in a public place, must have insurance, road tax and have a registration plate displayed. The driver must also be appropriately licensed to drive the vehicle. Severe penalties (including fixed charge notices, penalty points, court fines and possible seizure of the vehicle) are imposed for not being in compliance with these requirements. Enforcement of the legal requirements is a matter for An Garda Síochána.
