Many motorists in Ireland avoiding penalty points – Car insurance at Paddy Compare!

A recent study by the State’s financial watchdog revealed that up to one fifth of motorists have been able to avoid penalty points. The report showed significant weaknesses in the fixed charge notice system. This was particular evident during 2011 and 2012 when approximately 850,000 road traffic offences warranted the issuing of fixed charge notices and around 11% remained unpaid or not answered in court. The acceptable reasons for lack of charging varied. From drivers speeding because they were late for a religious ceremony, penalty points could not be attached to a company with company car offences, or late entry of data and court proceedings not initiated within 6 months.

Court changes in Ireland increasing the cost of motor insurance – Paddy Compare can help!

2013 saw the introduction of a new Courts Bill giving rise to new changes in the Court’s regime. Dorethea Dowling, who chairs the lawyer-free Injuries Board, highlights that recent concerns have developed as these new court changes could enhance motor insurance costs throughout the country.

This new Bill will make district and circuit courts busier, leading to huge delays and greater costs for companies all round. As a result, these costs will be passed on by increased motor insurance premiums.
