    Copied & pasted.....


    ‘Traffic Blues’, a new six part fly on the wall series following the Garda Traffic Corps, begins Sunday 31 May at 8.30pm on RTÉ One. Produced by Big Mountain Productions, the series aims to show just how dangerous and badly behaved we really are on our roads.

    ......... the series shines a light on six months in the life of the Traffic Corps, primarily in three divisions; the Dublin Metropolitan division based in Dublin Castle; the Louth division taking in stations in Drogheda and Dundalk and the Donegal division focusing on Burnfoot and Letterkenny.

    :eek: :D

    Anyone here gonna be famous????

    Ah! I recall being stopped in St Johnston way back in November/December and there were cameras there. It was dark at the time and they had this big bright light hooked up beside a camera. That explains it so.






    just as well they didnt stop me earlier in the day

    Sorry Andy - you're barking up the wrong tree there lad - nothing to do with the gov., if was filmed and produced by a company called Big Mountain Productions. I don't think they get any state funding?

    BTW - the show is on at 20.30.

    Smashy / muffler - there's a big difference between famous and infamous :P

    Mentioned it in the Rally thread, showed some idiot on the Dual Carraigeway.

    By the way, RTE receive a stealth tax known as a license fee to commission these programes from independent production companys so it is funded by tax payers.

    Thanks Jimmy, just watched it.
    Cant believe they went as easy on the 17yr old with no license, no accompanied driver, car not vrt'd, no tax, no NCT and probably more.
    Glade that nut job driving up the dual-carriageway the wrong way got a prison term, un-believable that he didn't kill someone or at least crash.
