by Brian Byrne. The RAC in Ireland has reiterated its stance that a more visible garda presence on our roads would do more to improve road safety than Gatso speed cameras.
The organisation's comments come in the wake of suggestions that there is 'points-swapping' going on in the cases of a number of drivers who are close to losing their licences because of the accumulation of points.
Saying that this is 'a serious flaw' in Ireland’s penalty points system that can allow guilty drivers escape punishment for driving offences, Jerry Purcell, Head of RAC Ireland also points out that anyone caught in such a practice risks a fine of €1,500 and/or a six month jail sentence.
