A collegue of my wife was caught drink driving in Manchester and was

I suspect this has changed, as it was announced some time ago
that a joint scheme has been setup for driving offences
in the UK and the Irish Republic.
I think one of the main reasons for this was to catch NI drivers
who drive like lunatics in the Republic, and used to be immune.
