Whether or not parking the car to go into the station would be considered in the course of their duty is up for debate though.

No it's not. Not a daily occurance like that.

Had it been outside a bank being robbed, and he was parked in a bus lane/loading bay/ taxi rank, then yes.

I know what you mean by 'up for debate' but I hate that attitude from Gards. If you don't like people driving/parking in a bus lane, don't do it yourself.

Lead by example and all that

I've seen this car twice in Dromoland castle. The car is on a forest walk, didn't think anyone but golf buggies could drive up here.

Cornmarket Car park in Limerick

I know it's small, and it's in the space, but how the feck did they think they were going to get out?

And parking their own personal car for a full shift on a double yellow line on a corner and sometimes over full the weekend would be another debate . And parking them in legitimate spaces must cost Dublin City Council a good €250,000 plus annually of missed revenue for those working in Harcourt Street HQ alone.

Leaving aside the legality angle for the moment, it shows a complete disregard for the convenience & safety of the general public.

I could cross post this in a number of threads.

1. Stupid car
2. Really stupid license plate.
3. Horrific parking.

matt-dublin

his numberplate says it all

MarkR

Seems I can buy that plate from regtransfers.co.uk for a mere £30 grand. And it was on a lambo before.

Had his hazards on though so was ok

I was leaving a shopping centre car park the other day and there was a taxi parked in front of the shopping centre entrance blocking my lane. I couldnt go around him because there were cars coming the other way.

I gave him a quick toot of the horn. Just an alert I was there not quite a "get the fvck out of my way" toot. What does he do? He puts on his hazards. Seriously!!!!

BBBBBBLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPP went my horn with some hand gestures out the window. He gets out to come back to me and I thought "FVCK THIS" and starting scrambling with my seat belt(like a lunatic - all an act) and my missus was trying to hold me back.

He saw my lunatic face and my missus holding me back and got back in and moved.

LOL. A gust of wind could beat me up for fvcks sake. I simply had had enough that day. :mad:

First time I remember going driving with my dad he had a Reno 5 and he's 6 foot 6.

Anyway, some taxi fella was blocking the way and he did the same, gave a beep. nothing, so beeped again, ya man comes over and starts shouting and my dad pretends to strugle to get out cause the car is so small and the taxi man shít himself.

It was like that scene from police academy with Hightower :pac:

Is there anything in the NCT about not having a machine gun turret installed?

*runs off to check documentation*

you'd fall under the catch all term of "terrorist" I'm afraid, and the law won't like that.

(Plus you really need a hilux for that kinda thing)

Berty

You could legally put a rifle rack on your car and nobody could say a frickin thing.

I had my boss with me the other week and we headed into a hardware shop so I could show him the gun shop. Its mad! Thurles Co Tipperary. There is a room filled with shotguns, sniper rifles, regular rifles(whats regular), pistols etc etc.

It is possible that the rider of that trike has a disabled permit to park in this spot. I know of a few bikers that moved to trikes/sidecars after bad accidents.













It's also possible they're a tosser.;)

MarkR

I did take that into consideration, didn't see a permit, but I didn't go CSI on it.

Think I met the guy. I was going up the stairs to a cash office in a supermarket. He was coming down with a shotgun.

Was he carrying a bag with swag or euro symbol on outside?
