I have your plate number, I’m going to report you.
“What you can say there is, it’s not going to be €50 quid, you put the metre on pal, I have your plate number and I have you recording. Now there's two things you can do, you can take me there, or you can not take me there and I’m going to send this voice recording to the NTA.Finally he suggested anyone in a position to have family members collect them after a night out should use that option.
The Irish Mirror previously reported that some unscrupulous drivers are making a quick extra buck by slapping on a new extra fee for accepting payment by ‘tapping’ your contactless card. The National Transport Authority said the new extra charge for cards is not allowed under the new regulations and a spokesman said that they are receiving complaints about the new swindle.
