I had a receipt from the post office which showed an attempt to pay and the judge just said pay money to a charity of outside and that was that, I reckon if you say you neglected the letter he will just let you away with a fine and no points, well here's hoping IM.

What did you say in court sono? If youre made to pay money to the charity box it means that you are cleared of the offence, therefore he couldnt give you the points

Same happened to me a few years ago, got the fine and forgot about it, went on holidays and then remembered to pay it but by then was too late, ended up going to court about 9 months later and had to pay money to a charity and no penalty points although its meant to be double the original if you miss it, judge forgot to tell me about them so I was delighted!

That's from section 103(10) of the Road Traffic Act 1961, as inserted by section 18(h) of the Road Traffic Act 2004 and amended by section 14(f) of the Road Traffic Act 2006.
The section is due to be repealed and replaced by section 38 of the Road Traffic Act 2010 but that hasn't been commenced yet. Basically, you have to "show" that you never received the fixed charge notice. Most judges will not accept a bald assertion that you never got it. Edited by SuperDave84 - 11 Mar 2013 at 6:37pm |

That was 2009, ive read articles from 2011 that saw 2 out of 3 cases are thrown out. Frustrating thing is i actually did know nothing about it until I got a call off a guard saying i'd a court summons. I got one of these last year and paid it so that'll probably look good on me

It depends on the judge, some judges will and some judges won't. However, it has got a lot tougher in front of most judges: http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/judge-rules-traffic-fines-lost-in-post-no-longer-an-excuse-96488.html |

That quite simply is not true, as i know that up until last year anyway it was a valid excuse and thrown out straight away. Just wondering if there has been any changes in the law?

Nope, you pretty much need evidence that you have long standing trouble with your post. Simply saying that won't get you off. |

wish I had known this a few years ago. 1st points ever, an ould wan of gaurd, pulled me doing 140 in a 120 Km, even though there was a truck on the inside lane between me and her. She was on her own just after where the carlow road joins the m7 heading to dublin, Fish in a barrel, She barely had time to clock me as I saw her other victim pulling away.

Another one of Scoccerc's ridiculously inaccurate facts to add to "there's No Shengan agreement in place for the euros". What the Gerk and Daibo said is correct. SoccerC YOU ARE WRONG AGAIN.
I know the law very well
