No way

[Rat Catcher]

I'd like to withdraw my previous suggestion/agreement regarding the potential mandatory use of speed limiting devices. Lack of focus is not acceptable in the operation of a mechanically propelled vehicle, particularly on the part of a so-called professional driver.

We don't bring a whole lot to the table in terms of skill. It's not unreasonable for a client to expect us to be able to operate our vehicles in accordance with the rules of the road.

Assumung that your sanctimonious scribblings puts you above the rest of us mere mortals when it comes to plying our trade, the dismissal of something which could improve the situation seems foolish.

If everybody embraced the Post Code and gave that over to the driver when asked for a destination we could replace the PSV licence with tech .That would improve the situation .

Visitors to my house would be left in D17 not D5, and into a closed school, not my house. Good luck with that.

Sanctimonious, Moi?

I did initially consider that such technology may help drivers operate in accordance with the rules and, as such, could prove beneficial. However, if the objective is to compensate for a lack of focus the contrary proves true. In fact, it could promote irresponsible driving if used as a substitute for paying due care and attention. I'm not opposed to the use of such technology and I often use the cruise control function of my own motor car as a speed limiting device but I do so responsibly, using it as an aid to focus rather than a substitute for the same.

In reality drivers will get away with complacency most of the time, it's that one time in a million the unexpected occurs that dictates a need to be fully focused all of the time. Any momentary lack of focus has the potential to cause serious injury or worse. You could be lucky and kill a white male over 25 with no ceoil talent and no GAA related sporting prowess... or you might not be so lucky.

Enforcement, enforcement and more enforcement is what's needed to promote the safe operation of motorised vehicles.

I was breathalyzed last night.

Judging by the amount of taxis I see meandering out of control I'd say a lot are pissed or high... or maybe just fixated on their telephone screens.

Did you pass and did it include a drug test.

That's what he says alright, "I used to care but,....... things have changed"

I passed a checkpoint in the 'mun last night. The Garda pointed out my road tax was out of date, when he lowered the machine gun I apologised and told him I'd pay it online the next day - which I did.

[Rat Catcher]

Why was it out of date? Sure you can claim it back from NTA on account of the COVID '19 anall.

If I washed the car more often I might have noticed the anomaly on the windscreen.

[Rat Catcher]

Do you wash the house windows often?

[Cool Boola]

Could somebody tell me, where I could find someone who can explain the jokes put up on here?
