    I was talking to a PSNI officer the other day. Instead of the usual 800 PSNI traffic officers on duty, there will be another 3,000 (yes!) officers (normally on tactical / security duties) assigned to traffic duties over the Christmas period.

    Do not mess about up North. If they can't summons you, they will arrest you and you will have to pay cash to bail yourself out.

    Oh, also, they are organising cross border checkpoint with the garda on several routes, if you get caught or are suspected of anything on one side, they will phone ahead to the other side of the border to detail someone to keep an eye on you.

    That makes over 50% of the total force of approx 7,500 assigned to traffic duties .. sounds a little unlikely to me TBH.

    Such a shamet they couldn't organise themselves the other night and catch the bastards who murdered that guy in Dromad. Croos border co-op IME doesn't mean squat except for them coordinating what nights they'll set up checkpoints.

    Drink driving is a huge problem out our way (N of Dundalk) and I can count on one hand how many checkpoints I've seen all year, in the area...
