During the operation, vehicles are inspected for illegal window tinting and tested for noise emissions from exhausts. Vehicles are also inspected for general defects that could make it unsafe. Garda will also use the checkpoint opportunity to provide information and guidance on correct lighting and tyre thread depths to young motorists.
