PICS: Gardaí stop driver with a very shoddily forged insurance disk

One of the worst attempts we've seen.

How on earth did they think this was going to work?

The An Garda Síochána Twitter page do some very useful public service work in drawing the attention of the public to the many, many different things Gardaí come across on a daily basis.

Whether it’s about dangerously modified mountain bikes or dangerous arrests they’ve had to make, or in this case, the rather badly forged insurance disks they’ve seen.

Gardaí recently came across this chancer in Ennis, who tried to doctor his insurance disk to a later date.

This attempt is so bad, we have to think that on some level, the driver wanted to be caught for his crime.

Perhaps he just wanted an appearance on the An Garda Síochána Twitter page?

It seems that forging insurance disks is becoming more and more common as Gardaí also caught someone doing a similarly bad forgery over the weekend.
