Drivingtest.ie Collapses Under Huge Strain

25th of October 2007: The Irish government announces a clamp-down on provisional drivers who driver unaccompanied. Other tough new measures are introduced in order to reduce the 400,000 provisional that are on Ireland's roads.

26th of October 2007: http://www.drivingtest.ie/, the website for booking driving tests in order to qualify for your full licence collapses under the strain of worried provisional drivers booking their tests.

Amusement Machine Licence Duty

While on a trip to a fast food joint, I noticed this little sticker afixed to the amusement machines. Doing some research, I learned that it's a statutory requirement for all amusement machines to be licensed at the cost of €125 per year, per machine.



Further inspection of the snap I took yields the information that this particular licencee is not up to date (as of 22nd of September 2007) with the licence!



I wonder how long Joe Public would last if they decided not to pay Motor Tax or the T.V. Licence fee?
