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.

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) |

Yes you are right.But the guy that started the thread was more than 1 km over the limit. Try telling a mother or a father that you just performed an id on their child even if he was 21 ! Now do this twice in a six week period and see how it feels. There is a big difference between 5km over a limit and 20 km over the limit. I'm getting fed up looking at the carnage...... you should try it. |

I thought that Kin reckoned he WASN'T over the limit, hence his frustration! Correct me if I'm wrong (too lazy to check the OP). RE: the 3 series in Dundalk - was that a local car or a tourist? Haven't seen much of the reporting on it, but the car looked like a LHD in the pic I saw. |

Personally, I don't trust the cops in this country, and if they can prosecute successfully without having to show proof of the speed you were doing, and that it was your car doing it, then I am very worried. What's to stop them pulling people over at random, saying you were over the limit, and force you to fork out a fine to line the government coffers? Scam.....

That is worrying. Thats a good point to make to the Judge Kin. Tell him you're fed up being picked on 'cos you drive an M5.

Worth a read: http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/ZZA12Y2002S21.html As usual, it's written in fancy-pancy legal speak, but I think it more or less says that evidence has to be provided, which proves (insofarheretohitherandthither) the speed etc. But, having read the page a few times, I'm still not 100% clear!!

i do think that the car being an m5 is a lot to do with it!! about 5 years ago i had a Toyota supra twin turbo, savage machine !! and one day cops behind me and sirens on so i pulled in wondering what i did!! and the guard approached me ask for my licence and insurance and then asked me was my car a 2litre or a 3litre??? what says i confused! say no more!!

Maybe, but I don't think the M5 looks really much different to a regular 5 series.
When I was riving the Lotus Elise cops would stop me to ask if I was 50 miles away 5 minutes ago speeding around!? I said no and they would then start asking about the car! ![]() |
