A driver has admitted to a bizarre way of avoiding paying tax on their car after being pulled over by gardai in Dublin.
After the DMR South Roads Policing Unit pulled in the driver for having no tax or NCT, the driver confessed to selling the car to someone else, before buying it back to dodge taxation.
The driver was trying to use a loophole in the car tax system that has yet to be plugged, but was found out by the roads policing unit.
A spokesperson for the gardai confirmed that the car was seized following the incident. They said: "DMR South Roads Policing Unit stopped this car for no tax or NCT.
"Driver was a previous owner who admitted selling and then buying back the car in an attempt to avoid paying tax.
"Vehicle Seized under Section 41 of the Road Traffic Act.
