Get ready for the penalty point blitz

I dont wish to walk into the Irish/English Law minefields--BUT-perhaps this  www.pepipoo.com   if you dont know of it, may give you some idea,s for FIGHTING every alleged offence notification you receive.

The English Authorities are reluctant to believe that any driver has ANY rights, and should accept ANY Command given, and pay by return of post.Future plans include YOU setting up Standing Order payments with your Bank, so extraction can be simple for you.

European Court for Human Right,s contact details, should be close at hand for your reference, and some items from the charter are worth learning, for advising said Authorities.Let the Battle,s begin

This is because speed is limited by the traffic jams anyway.... ...or by people not quite realising that they have to give way to LUAS....

I drove to Dublin early yesterday and back again early this morning and a thought struck me.  There are loads on new signs in the country on N and lower class roads, on my route home from work there are 6 or 7 between Annacotty roundabout in Limerick and Birdhill on the N7 - probably overkill.  It was more noticable in Dublin that there aren't enough to be seen, so it seems there is an inconsistency in how they have been put up.  Since some limits have also been reviewed as part ofthe exercise, there needs to be more signage of urban limits.

Not outside one school in Co. Donegal, if I remember correctly. The limit there actually went up to 100km/h (62mph)....

Yes, it's Day One of speeding metrically....

There's one born every minute. This is the notorious "Photoblocker" spray. Some fly-by-night merchant called Seamus Duffy was shown plugging the product on "SkyNews Ireland" today.

Rest assured, fellas, it doesn't - repeat, doesn't - work and you'd be wasting your 35 Euro (and be a mug) if you bought it.

I'm sure solicitors the length and breadth of Saorstat Eireann will be rubbing their hands in anticipation of clients who want to sue the makers and retailers of "Photoblocker" when they find that what they've bought is not much more than distilled water in a propellant-filled can.....

Yeah usually one of them was a friend of a friend from what I heard

@ Tapazman - thats the truth!!!!!!

@ Gerard - went fom Naas to Sipiddal via Portarlington, Moate (delightfull afternoon spin) - some very good stretches of road 80kph - some brutal stretches completely unsafe 100kph - absolute madness!

Going to take some getting used to.

They can't issue receipts and neither can the police in the UK and the rest of Europe because they all use similar equipment. This is being constantly challenged in court, but then again this is how the solicitors and barristers make their money because they are all one little group those who make the law and those who defend you in court. Only the Rich can fight the system and those that can't afford a defence get it up the A**e

Every piece of equipment has a calibration cert, and they will only show it in court if requested. Its not something they carry around in their back pocket
