Coming soon to a Dublin street near you!  If I was a night driver, I'd be getting very paranoid right about now  ::fds

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has been banned from driving for the next six months after breaking one of London’s 20mph zones.  The FA Cup-winning boss, 51, was caught by a speed camera as he drove his BMW along the Old Kent Road in Bermondsey last July.  Court records reveal Glasner already had past driving offences on his record, putting him in line for an automatic ban.  The Austrian wrote to Willesden Magistrates’ Court to plead guilty to speeding at 29mph on a stretch of the road which has a 20mph limit.

... Glasner was among 1,089 motorists to be prosecuted last week for breaking a 20mph speed limit, with magistrates handing out fines totalling more than £157,000 (€180,000) and 27 driving bans.

His car is the beemer in middle right.

They should have speed cameras on every lamppost.
