That may not be strictly true,a friend of mine was pulled by the Gaurdia in a hire car,she was issued with two tickets,no documents.No triangles,Hi vis jackets etc.Total €165.The Gaurdia told her to hand them to the hire company which she did.
Maybe the authourities are trying to force car hire companies to provide all legal requirements.


Lets face it you are pulled in a hire car for any offence other than moving traffic offence or parking etc,you refuse to pay the fine,they impound the vehicle,so what phone the hire company and get a replacement.
