"A fake license is exactly that. Even if it is of superb quality, the driver number CANNOT be matched on the NDLS system.

"If you drive with a fake license, or no license, you are driving uninsured, a serious offence on top of the no driving licence offence.

"Possession of a fake license is also a fraud offence, a serious criminal matter in fact."

Local gardaí stated that they now routinely scan licenses on the mobility device which highlight such imitations.
