    Maybe there was some sort of fighting up by rubys and all them clubs? They had to give chase to some guys maybe?

    Nothing unusal about that. I do believe by law you must have your license, even if they dont ask for it. They do check points at various stages throughout the night - I got breathlised over in Ferybank last night by the Traffic Crowd. Often or not, they are down by Rapid Caps (on foot, no cars/bikes) or over by Dominos doing check points.

    Its very common for Waterford.

    You are required by law to have your licience with you at all times when driving.

    Your just lucky - nothing unusal. Very common to see check points around Waterford.

    Mainly past 11PM tho, so I suppose its around the time people leave the pubs and stuff.
