Does that mean that if I venture 1kmph over the limit and your car will blow up?
IMO your large statement should say that "Inappropriate Speed Kills" as driving within the speed limit can still kill someone (e.g. outside a school) |

Lads. I dont suppose any of you saw the three series in Dundalk ???????????????????? Speed Kills.The clampdown is part of a change of life / habit thing. Get used to it. Remember the cops are doing what they get paid for. Thats all.

Just got a speeding offence in the post thinking it was the
one in question in this topic. Read more clearly and found out it was date 9th April while going
up the Nass road too fast to meet Richie and Mick at the Red Cow hotel to go up
north for the M Power Meet! 4 points within 2 weeks! No points on my licence
till now! I am distraught. At this rate I will have to sell my car. |

I think with all speeding detections, the gardai have 6 months from the date of the offence to pursue it - I may be off though

Oh by the way, when you get stopped by a handheld speed check, how long
do they have to send you in the ticket before it is void?

They stick to that limit as much as they do to keeping out of the overtaking lane! |

Cheers topazman! Car was parked a good distance away form the tripod and both were in Co. Cork. Should have been paying closer attention when I wasn't used to the km speedo. See you Saturday! |

No that have to stop you just be careful if you spot it connected into the back of the car as this would be downloading pics of speed Ther are only two in the country thatI know of Portlaoise and Louth Meath Traffic Corps have them

I passed two handheld speed traps on the waydown to Cork on Monday but I wasn't even sure myself if I was over the speed limit. If they are using a tripod mounted unit could this be a digital speed camera and should I expect a fine and some points if I was over the limit? |

Radar no longer in use for hand held devices and if it is it should not be as they were all put out of use so if caught by one then the prosecution is going nowhere. I have been in court where people were prosecuted for speeding and no mention of showing the speed was given and the judge convicted. Some judges take it upon themselves to not prosecute speeding offences. If you were not stopped you should have been shown some photograph evidence of your speeding as in teh case of Gatso or video evidence in the case of Vascar. Truckers are caught by their own records their tacograph so they are caught anyway (80kph max)

Have to differ on that one, Radar is still active especially on nice rural speedtraps, e.g. road between Monasterevin to Rathangan and on the goverment front as of Jan this year they amended the 2004 road traffic act. to sort out this loop hole over guns not having a pernament record. ie. http://www.irishtrucker.com/news/2005/march/1803055.asp As from personal experience I got a summons for a court appearance, (2003) which was the first I knew of the speeding fine. I went, guard have his evidence, I asked was the guard required to stop me and show/ inform me of the speed on the radar gun ?? Judge smiled, gave out to guard, case thrown out !!! regards, thomas.

Radar Gun no longer in use its all laser now and you could risk that argument that you did not see the speed reading but all it shows is the speed and the distance that you were detected at it all depends on the judge at the day in court.

Just on this one, if it was the good old hair dryer, the garda has to stop you, issue you the summons/fine on the spot and also show you the speed you were doing on the back of the radar gun. If it was digital speed camera ie. hand held or gatso etc. then the summons can go out in the post as there's a mug shot of yourself, car and speed for proof. Personally I'd contest if it happens to be the radar gun on the grounds that you were contesting the speed and didn't see proof on the radar gun.... regds, thomas. |
