I struggle to support it when insurance is so fucking expensive.
Lol “new tech”. Something that has been around for well over a decade in other countries.
Sounds good but where is the database going to come from? Are we going to see loads of cases of uninsured drivers coming up and being dismissed because of this? 3rd party extensions, classic, fleet, trade insurance policys are rarely tied to the vehicle but the driver?
How much money was spent on this that could’ve been spent actually setting up state insurance.
Imagine mandating that all drivers buy insurance, but not making that insurance available at an even remotely reasonable price.
The insurance industry in this country needs to be dismantled. Drivers and the leisure industry are being held hostage by their legalised extortion. Third party motor insurance and public liability insurance should be provided at cost by the state, not by private companies at insane markups.
obviously won’t be used for foreign cars sharing the same roads
Insurance is the least useful thing on ANPR. It’s database comes from the motor tax office which is only updated when you renew your tax. ANPR also flags vehicles stolen in both Ireland and Northern Ireland and it flags vehicles with warnings in relation to disqualified drivers. These are the two most useful features. An ANPR car can drive through a car park and locate stolen vehicles that have been parked up for future use. It can park on a main road and flag vehicles using cloned or stolen reg plates. It’s game changing technology for fighting crime but the rollout in usage in the Gardaí has been slow as hell.
Would be nice to get rid of the discs like in the UK
Thank fuck we’ve finally adopted ANPR proper in vehicles lately, only sporadic cars mainly RP had them, the discs need to be gotten rid of
At least it doesn’t detect expired nct
The guards have had this for years here. Where do they get these journalists?

Good.
We have been far too slow on the up take of ANPR here.
It’s a bit Big Brother-ish but I can’t say I’m against it.
