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. |

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! |

Traffic cops are probably petrol heads too. I remember Clarkson on TopGear talking about testing the DB9 in France, and the cops were beside him telling him to go faster! |

also on top gear james may tested the new bentley in dubai and the cops closed a very long road so he could test the 200mph top speed, but he only went to 180mph... very quickly mind you!!!

Hey congrats Luke. You reached the Senior Member position today like me. I know, I know, sad. I know a guy whose wife used to drive his M5 during the week and was always tailed for miles by cops to see if it would speed. Edited by flyingalexf68 |
