op I'm afraid that most who steal cars to joyride probably don't has the money or the want to race their own cars around a track, nice idea but
I reckon myself that amputating both legs above the knees of the worst offenders in town would have an overnight effect on Galway citys joyriding

Car theft in Galway is minimal.
Ya i used to live in Westside up until 2000 and burnt out cars were a pretty common sight back then, still spend time up there and can't remember the last time i saw one.
Was actually just saying this to someone recently that it doesn't happen much any more. Can't speak about the east side of town, but any lads i knew(of not personally) who did it in westside are either in jail or spending most of their time trying to get money for H.
Going by his ''race track'' reference i'd put a bet he's talking about ''boy racers'' and not joyriders..... bit of a diff' tbh

If a potential joyrider fears the prospect of a lengthy jail term, they will think twice about joyriding. The Gardai are effective in enforcing the law in this area, however the courts are not imposing heavy enough sentencing to deter joyriders from re-offending.
that is not the solution,how many re-offened after coming out 90% do
i reckon if they built a stock car track it would stop it outright,
stop them from stealing them
stop them from killing someone
stop them from killing themselves
they would not go out and steal one if there was a track there as they would spin,wheelspin,handbrake,race all they want under supervision..
they used to have one in santry in dublin and it worked a treat,wouldn't it be nice to have one here
this one is in tipp

Agreed it will minimise the problem, but will not erradicate? it... Also a place for dirt bikes(off road bikes) would be good. Even if both these things were provided for it would give some youngsters something to work on/look forward to..I have one,simple!!!
Build a stock car track ran by the guards or the corpo...that will minimise the cars being stolen by at least %70
a simple contract outlining it's at your own risk would solve this as is done in karking tracks I think..Grand idea.
Are you paying the insurance?
Not much happening in the east side lately thank god, and yes there is a difference between joyriders and boyracers... A little...gilberto_eire wrote: »Ya i used to live in Westside up until 2000 and burnt out cars were a pretty common sight back then, still spend time up there and can't remember the last time i saw one.

Every car can be robbed without the keys, it's just easier for them to steal the keys to get the car especially if they are young and inexperienced, Modern cars though do prove difficult for the little scum that used to make of '80's cars.. IMO...You can't rob a car without the key any more, for the most part only actual car thieves run the risk of breaking into the house to steal the keys so they can sell the car.
I take exception to your car emthusiast remark, it is not an accurate reflection of the car enthusiast community... There is one hugh difference between these people and car enthusiasts, and that is respect. Car enthusiasts have a huge amount of respect for their cars which most have spent a lot of money on not to mention time caring and maintaining it.. Maybe it was a slip of the tongue on your part,but people should remember, car enthusiasts are not the same as boy racers or joyriders.. all 3 are different with the biggest being car enthusiasts have respect...http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/187057main_spike4_330.jpg

Agreed for the most part.. But there will always be one or two who couldn't care less what was handed down to them... But as you say, sentences have been and are Very lenient..Dr McManus wrote: »The only proven effective way to reduce joy riding is stiffer penalties.

Incorrect... It would, as I said 'give youngsters something to do' which could be a point of contact for the gardai and other organisations for a contact point or early intervention to potentail troublesome people.. Also as for the retarded cars comment, it will also help to take a lot of the older cars of the road.. (These cars are not driven on road, the end result of these events is a lot of cars damaged/unrepairable)..in fairness, there are better things to be spending tax dollars on. especially right now.
I don't think it would solve any problems - create more of a demand for retarded looking cars though? maybe.
Sorry about spelling if to many mistakes as I am on the wine, but all views and statements are factual to the best of my memory...0 -
