Vehicle Compliance
An SPSV driver must make sure that:
- The vehicle licence is in date;
- The vehicle is appropriately insured; and
- The vehicle complies fully with the suitability requirements for the category of licence.
Vehicle Roadworthiness
Your vehicle must be maintained in a roadworthy condition at all times. It can be inspected at any time by members of An Garda Síochána to ensure that it complies with the required standards. If the vehicle is found not to be roadworthy, you will not be permitted to operate until the relevant repairs have been carried out.
