information on fixed-charge notices and fines is available in our document on driving offences .

tá eolas ar-fógraí muirir sheasta agus fíneálacha ar fáil sa doiciméad ar chionta tiomána .

how long do penalty points stay on your licence ?

eclr:8407

cé chomh fada a fhanann pointí pionóis ar do cheadúnas ?

penalty points have a three-year lifespan .

eclr:8408

maireann pointí pionóis ar feadh trí bliana .

that means they will remain on your current driving licence for a period of 3 years from the start date ( effective date ) .

eclr:8409

ciallaíonn sé seo go bhfanfaidh siad ar do cheadúnas tiomána reatha ar feadh tréimhse 3 bliana ón dáta tosaigh ( an dáta a thagann siad i bhfeidhm ) .

any period where your licence is out of date won 't count as part of the 3 years .

eclr:8410

ní chomhairfear aon tréimhse a bhfuil do cheadúnas as dáta mar chuid den tréimhse 3 bliana .

Where you accumulate 12 points and are disqualified for a period of six months , the points which led to the disqualification are removed at the end of the 6 months .

fuair mé 2 phointe pionóis i gcomhair cion tiomána i Meitheamh 2010 .

my driving licence expired in September 2012 but I only renewed it in January 2013 .

eclr:8412

Chuaigh mo cheadúnas tiomána in éag i Meán Fómhair 2012 ach rinne mé athnuachan air in Eanáir 2013 .

if I had renewed my licence immediately , the points would have stayed on my licence until June 2013 .

eclr:8413

dá mbeinn tar éis mo cheadúnas a athnuachan láithreach d ’ fhanfadh na pointí ar mo cheadúnas go dtí Meitheamh 2013 .

however , the three months during which my licence was expired don 't count towards the three year of the penalty points .

eclr:8414

ní chomhaireann na trí mhí a raibh mo cheadúnas imithe in éag i dtreo na trí bliana de na pointí pionóis , áfach .

this means the penalty points remained on my licence until September 2013 .

eclr:8415

cad a tharlaíonn má bhí duine eile ag tiomáint mo fheithicil ?

in cases where the driving offence was detected by camera , the fixed charge notice is sent to the registered owner of the vehicle .

eclr:8416

i gcásanna gur ceamara a thug an cion tiomána faoi deara seoltar an fógra táille seasta chuig úinéir cláraithe na feithicle .

if the registered owner was not driving at the time of the offence they should complete the form attached to the notice , giving details of the person who was driving .

if you have been caught speeding on police traffic camera , you will receive notice of your fine and penalty points of the offence by post .

eclr:8427

má rugadh ort ar cheamara tráchta gardaí ag tiomáint ag luas iomarcach gheobhaidh tú fógra maidir le d ’ fhíneáil agus do phointí pionóis as an gcion sa phost .

you have 28 days in which to pay your fine from the date the notice issues to you .

eclr:8428

tá 28 lá agat chun do fíneáil a íoc ón dáta a eisítear an fógra ort .

if you do not pay your fine , the fine then increases to € 120 which you must pay within 28 days .

eclr:8429

mura n-íocann tú d ’ fhíneáil , méadaítear an fhíneáil go € 120 a íocann tú taobh istigh de 28 lá .

if after this time ( 56 days ) you still have not paid your fine , the offence is referred to the courts .

eclr:8430

mura bhfuil an táille íoctha agat fós tar éis an méid seo ama ( 56 lá ) , beidh ort dul chuig do Chúirt Dúiche .

if you are convicted in court of speeding offences and non-payment of fines , you will automatically receive 5 penalty points and a fine up to a maximum of € 1,000 .

eclr:8431

the court may decide that you be disqualified from driving instead of incurring penalty points .

eclr:8437

is féidir leis an gcúirt cinneadh a dhícháiliú tú ó tiomáint , seachas ar phointí pionóis a fhorchur .

in that case , you will be disqualified for 2 years or more for a first offence and 4 years or more in the case of a second offence committed within 3 years of the first .

Careless driving : this is defined as ' driving a vehicle in a public place without due care and attention ' .

eclr:8439

tiomáint neamhaireach : is é an sainmhíniú atá air seo ná ‘ feithicil a thiomáint in áit phoiblí gan aire agus cúram ceart ' .

the Gardai enforce careless driving offences and this involves a mandatory court appearance .

eclr:8440

is iad na Gardaí a fhorfheidhmíonn cionta tiomána neamhaireach agus bíonn láithreas cúirte éigeantach i gceist leis seo .

eclr:8442

for new cars registered since July 2008 , motor tax charges are determined on the basis of CO2 emission bands with lower emissions resulting in lower charges .

eclr:8445

i gcás carranna nua a chlárófar ó Iúil 2008 ar aghaidh , is ar bhunús banda CO2 a shocrófar na táillí mótarchánach .

new cars registered between January 2008 and June 2008 had their motor tax charged on the basis of engine size initially .

eclr:8446

ar an gcéad dul síos is ar bhunús méid an innill a dhéanfar mótarcháin a ghearradh ar charranna nua a chlárófar idir Eanáir 2008 agus Meitheamh 2008 .

if it was beneficial for those cars to switch to the CO2 based motor tax system , this happened on the first renewal of motor tax after June 2008 .
