Gardai couldn't believe their eyes when they stopped a car at a checkpoint with this makeshift NCT disc.
The extremely crude fake disc was held together with staples and duct tape.
Officers in Kilmacthomas in Co Waterford said it was 'a very poor attempt at deception'.
The driver was hit with a Fixed Charge Penalty Notice and will end up in court if the fine isn't paid.
