And even if they did-

The horses should be confiscated and they all should be fined heavily how many of those jeeps and vans do you think have full tax and insurance

Tad silly? when a traveller smacks into the back of your car with no insurance you can laugh then

I was hit by a bmw it rammed right into the back of me whiplash the lot i suffered the bmw had no insurance I had to deal with a very irate traveller trying to blame me

Those cars were driving very dangerously with no regard for other road users they were just interested in the horses swerving in and out of traffic
What laws are in place to have a horse on a main road like that do they be insured? What would happen if you knocked down and killed that horse?

bigpink

Their hardly all stolen veichles,at least they can check that all regs have been reported stolen

bigpink

Dont care if its a traveller or doctor the driving is the issue here.Can anyone said this vid to the Guards?

At lease the guys off stealign watches aren't committing animal cruelty and putting other people's lives at risk. If one of those horses goes over, it's gonna get messy...

BluesBerry

Their names of the men with the horses are up on the youtube page info

The duck philly is some lass

Pacing Mule

It's basically the pikey equivelent of the Tour De France.

Mister men

Sure all they are looking for is equality and to be treated the same as average Joe settled PAYE worker. Well you know what if average Joe went around and did something like that they would be locked up or banned from driving for years and rightfully so. Sure the Guards won't do squat about this i know it and so do they.:mad:

See this kind of thing awful lot around Kilkenny city. Usually a few younger ones hanging off the carriage as well.

These people really are sub-human. They sure as hell aren't the same species as the rest of us.

NC27

Noway thats just up the road from me.
Its on the N4 just south of Castlebaldwin, thats the main Dublin to Sligo road, and anyone that knows that strecth of road would know the guards are almost always there.
How do these people get away with this sh!t.

Sub-human? Their culture is a little different from the rest of us, but sub-human is going a bit far.

They should also be done for cruelty to animals. Making them run on hard concrete is so bad for their joints.

Fucking right. I got done for doing 40 in a 30 zone there not so long ago.

Cops won't do anything about this.

unbelievable how many knobs congregate on 1 thread simultaneously

actually that is a tradition that has occurred long before vehicles existed and in some cases the horses racing are worth more than what most people here would earn in a year - believe it or not the travellers in the vans/cars are protecting both horses and motorists

Oh, it's tradition. Well that's alright then :rolleyes:

These 'people' are uneducated inbred savages who are somehow above the law and the rules of society. It's 2010, we live in houses now, not in caravans on the side of the road.

The police would do nothing with the information in this video. "Ah shure dere ony trav-lurrs. Dey do dis all the time".

A 'vehicle' is a form of transport and vise versa.

Well obviously if it was just a horse and cart on the road you would give way.

However, what we are seeing on the video is obviously not just a horse and cart traversing down the road.

What can be seen on the video is a horse race taking place on a public road. I hardly think this is legal???????

The fact that there is a convoy of Jeeps and Vans right across the road doesnt really help.

Silly you. It's tradition. If there's an accident and they kill a passer-by it doesn't count because, you know, tradition.

Why is it being a knob to criticise illegal driving activity? The 'tradition' of harness racing may have been around for a long time, but that is why society continues to make and adapt laws to suit the world we live in today.

The only constant 'tradition' I see on display in that video is the 2 fingers the participants and their type give to the rest of society, while insisting that we fund their lifestyle

Yeah sure they have loads of traditions.

- causing trouble in pubs, - turning wherever they stop into rubbish strewn wastelands, - ignoring common law & generally doing whatever the fcuk they want because they're untouchable.:pac:

Sub-human is a bit much but they do try my patience.

As those idiot Limerick boy-racers from a few weeks ago, managed to get nailed by the Guards for pissing around, and uploading the Youtube video, then these people should get the same treatment. Let's have some equality.

I'm no law expert either, but I'm pretty sure driving in the middle of the road, driving on the wrong side of the road and driving in the hard shoulder are offences.

The law can do very little.

Travellers are getting smart. Because they are claiming they are a separate culture & should be recognised as a different race theres all sorts of discrimination accusations just waiting to be unleashed upon anyone who dares oppose them these days.

Nothing will come of this unfortunately. There not all bad. Im willing to give anyone a chance but this kind of behaviour strains societies tolerance to breaking point.

If they want people to treat them as equals they're going to have conform to something close to acceptable public behaviour.

Tradition or not, whats being recorded in the video is dangerous, inconsiderate, illegal & justifiably fuels people's dislike of travellers.

What if an ambulance was caught behind them or worse still a doctor making an emergency house call?

I think it's more of "the law won't do anything", than "the law can do very little."

And if that was you or me doing something like that the guards would be all over us like a rash

They think they are above the law and think they can do what they want

And as for tradition , racing them could easily be done in a field away from motorists just going about their daily business , they created tailbacks and forced people to swerve on the road

Horses might have been the traditional way of transportation but this is the 21st century and horses are in danger on roads now

This is pretty much old news,it made the papers a few months ago.
I think some of them were prosecuted (I might be wrong)

The latter is the reason "the law won't do anything".

All they have to do is claim their 'culture' & 'traditions' are being oppressed through discrimination & hey presto you have a sh!tstorm of human rights allegations being used as big stick to bash anyone who dares confront them.

Cock-fighting was probably a 'tradition' too.
