You need to get out more ! There is NO revenue generated to Gardai by issuing tickets. And there has NEVER been a case of someone being done like you have said above. There is an expression in the force "The wrong attitude"....... I suspect you would fit right in there. Edited by Rich Guy |

Whats the story with your signature? What speed do you drive at? Its not just speed that kills. Its inappropriate speed, poor driving and not paying heed to the conditions. P.S. Driving for 7 years, 200,000 miles approx. under my belt, NO points, NO accidents, NO tickets (EVER). NO fines at all in fact. I think this is because I have an interest in driving and don't dirve just because I have to like so many people. Edited by flyingalexf68 |

Yes KB, I have no time for them at all. Cut their legs off if they survive the accident I say.

TBH if two government deputies can drive whilst drunk (in one case he injured a female pedestrian) and not be punished politically for it, then it shows the level of political will to tackle it.

OK...now it's 8.10 am on monday and five more families are in a state of mourning. Yes I do agree with you guys that drink is a big factor as well. It's not just the speed, but we all need to change the way we approach driving. As well as the five families mourning the loss of the son / daughter this weekend there are endless friends who lost a mate. Stop trying to justify speeding by asking what speed do I drive at etc. Try coming out with the DFB on a weekend night to the ongoing body count and see how you feel. If you had come to sutton five weeks ago and heard the screaming from the injured you would be less cocky. Speed and drink in any combination are lethal. |

True but the gardai do have league tables based on stats and can lose a man if they are at the bottom of the league. I still disagree with your signature. All speed will not contribute to death! |

I managed to score 2 more points. Cops pulled me in at the start of the new road from Joe Duffy's in Finglas to Ashbourne. YES I was approaching 70mph but c'mon it's a 3 lane road,brand new and its dry and nobody on it.

Completely untrue. All traffic units are gaining numbers at the moment. Show me one reduction in traffic units and I will admit to being wrong. |

Question:
If I drive at a steady 55kph on a normal single lane road with a Maximum Speed Limit of 80kph, will I save lives or put them in danger? |

Traffic people being told to enforce the rules. These guys are foot soldiers. They do what they are told. As kbannon said to me "dont shoot the messenger. Again I point out that it becomes sickening to pick up the pieces after an rta. Try it. You can talk the talk until the cows come home but speed is a factor in all fatal rta's. So please dont try and justify speed in any comments. |

The gardai dont set the limits. They are set by your county council ! Dont shoot the messengers. |

The limits are set by the Engineers in the local authority for example the new section of the M50 a 100kph limit and they designed it as a Motorway but then discovered that their design would not allow any faster speed to be driven safely. Gardai attached to Traffic Corps have to have a set return of work each week and there are tables showing the detections but also fatalities in different regions, they are employed on Traffic Duties and such have to show some form of return the same as detectives have to have a return for burglaries detected etc As you see every election time what do all the parties go on about Crime and Deaths on the Road. If they want the problem solved then update the law and have zero tolerence and then you will see safer roads and communities but unhappy politicians because they will have nothing to bitch to each other about and have no promises for election time
