This may include:

  • Examining our databases to establish if the vehicle or person concerned is a licensed operator.

Specific outcomes from investigations are between the operator being investigated and the Road Safety Authority, these results are not shared with the complainant. 

However, any convictions which are secured by the Road Safety Authority are published on prosecutions section of ​the RSA website. ​
