    There is a large volume of military traffic going to and from the Curragh Camp. The military police regularly hassle army vehicles along there with speed checks. Army drivers not only have to watch out for Gaurds hiding in bushes but Mps aswell:D

    The Garda can't do anything to Defence Forces drives, other than tell the MPs, which I doubt they will.

    Oh dear another person with a little info.

    DF drivers can and have been stopped by Gardai. They are subject to the rules of the road the same as everyone else and can be prosecuted for driving offences the same as anyone else

    I don't think traffic enforcement would be high on the list of priorities in the locations the army get sent to...
