Proper order. Here's an idea for you, DM... radical, I know but why don't you defeat the money racket by driving your car in accordance with the rules of the road?

We don't bring much to the table in terms of skill, clients are at least entitled to expect a driver who is capable of operating his motor car in accordance with the regulations.

The ones that slow to a crawl when they see a speed van are equally as annoying. It's like they think the limit has just been reduced to 10 kilos/hour.

Most of them using Free Now, I guess. That's definitely got considerably worse since Free Now fucked up the in-app navigation last December. I noticed a warning or "advice" in the latest issue of Industry Update too so Nta are well aware of the mayhem being caused by their Lords and Masters in Free Now.

Funny enough, there isn't an obvious disclaimer within the application's UI... such is their level of incompetence. I guess having An Garda Siochana and NTA in their pocket helps!

I would be the first to support this if it was genuinely about road safety.the fact is ,these vans are placed on roads where there is little,or no history of accidents,but are sure to catch speeding motorists.talk about fish in a barrel.the other reason is the pkace these van where the speed limit suddently drips from ( say) 100 to 80 and the scum are just inside the new limit

there's a lame brain on our patch who does that.
also glues himself up your hole and when you go to slow down/make a turn he's been known to blast the horn at you.
if you're parked in the middle of a rank in front of the yoke and get called off to a job and reverse back slightly he'll frantically start blasting the horn at you as well.
spoke to the cunt once briefly and he'd make forest gump look like stephen hawking.
terrible man for the tracksuits and the car always looks raggedy.

I wouldnt blame them for that. there was a case in longford a few years ago, the camera was flagging up people speeding when they were under the speed limit, the guy working the camera phoned his boss about the problem, the boss said dont worry about it i wont put any of those through for fines. the guy working the van noticed that all the people who werent speeding that day actually were sent the fines. he then blew the whistle on go safe. fair play to him.

Any fines that are incurred by motorists for offences,why should this money go to the dept of justice ? They are hardly the injured party,surely it should go to some charity that helps victims  of dangerous driving ?

To be invested in more enforcement I guess.

A former Garda was working as a taxi driver in Foxrock Taxis. Crybaby Cop I think was his nickname.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/garda-s-sentence-suspended-for-taking-bribe-1.1126910 (https://www.irishtimes.com/news/garda-s-sentence-suspended-for-taking-bribe-1.1126910)

A former garda who accepted a £500 bribe to shred a drink driving summons has received a six-month jail sentence in the Court of Criminal Appeal.

The Director of Public Prosecutions had appealed the undue leniency of the original suspended sentence and fine imposed on Seamus Doherty from Castlefield Lawn, Churchtown, by the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Doherty sought £20,000 from a man he arrested for drink driving in May 2000.

He settled for the much smaller sum of £500, but the man reported Doherty to the gardaí, who were waiting when the money was passed over in a pub car park in Dublin.

In the Circuit Criminal Court, Seamus Doherty pleaded guilty to corruption. He received a three-year suspended sentence and a fine of €3,809.

The DPP appealed the sentence as unduly lenient.

The court of criminal appeal agreed and has now imposed a six-month jail term on Doherty.

Mr Justice Adrian Hardiman noted the special position of a garda in society and said the original sentence was an inadequate response to an offence of premeditated corruption.

The sentence begins on 1 June to allow Seamus Doherty to attend his child's first Holy Communion.
