Where have you spotted the camera vans!

kilburn

Got my first 2 barely over the limit, but got my next collection of 4 in one sitting, tried to talk my way out of it when the Garda replied I am not even going to give you a fine I will see you in court, other than that he was a lovely chap and so was the Judge.

Last night near the limerick golf club,Roxboro school was where it was parked.

Clonlara Road this morning.

Parked up between the Coonagh and Clonmacken roundabouts last night about 8.15 catching traffic coming into the city. Noticed that he had his side lights left on so was easy enough to spot.

That road seems to be riddled with them! An aunt of mine who is living in Clonlara said they are on the road between Barry's Cross and Clonlara alteast 5 days out of 7!

That bend is notorious for people going off the road on it. I remember working in Shannon and seeing cars quite regularly in the grass verge in the middle of the carraigeways. I cant remember being able to get over the speed limit on that section in quite a while though.

Still a 100km/h yeah?

I saw that one this morning, but didn't seem to have the camera logos on the side and rear of the van. Do they not all have them?
Was a white one, around 840am. Had been doing 70mph as per the clock, but slowed down very quickly and had a car between me and it. Along with most cars having speedo reporting the speed as being 10% then actual speed and the lack of a flash, I am optimistic!

Yes, I think it's 100KPH there. Got a text just after 7 from someone who passed it so when I went by at about 7.40 I was going fairly slow. It was dark so I didn't notice whether the van had markings on it or not.

Im going to trade my vote to any councillor who arrives at my door to get rid of those cash cows from the roads.

Mate of mine said he saw a van out there but wasn't sure was it one! He was over the limit so I'll have to break the bad news!

Not lately (Did on Christmas eve)- I now try to avoid that road and the Condell Road over paranoia it'll be there!

Has anyone else taken to driving less quickly in areas where the vans might be?

I tend to stick to the 60k/h limit on that stretch of the Condell Road now. I used to be happy doing over 80 there. The Ennis Road doesn't move too fast anyway, so sticking to 50k/h by the Gaelic Grounds doesn't bother me at this stage.

Its likely to be down in between the Coonagh and Clondrinigh roundabouts again tonight then, mark my words!


I've been overtaken agressively by people in all manner of vehicles on the Condell and Ennis Road- I anxiously await the day when a van will be there to nab them!

Still there at 4.30.It's so easy to go over the 50 kph coming down the hill from the Ardhu so be careful.

Fair play Neon, are you starting to spot a trend?

thesimpsons

I was driving Ennis Road towards town direction about 9.30 this evening directly behind a Gatso van - according to my speedo the van was actually doing more than 50km. Anyone know if I was matching his speed (I wasn't) could you be caught while they are driving ? Curiourisity question.

highlydebased

No the cameras don't operate when the van is in motion.

zuroph

lol at the idea of ringing Joe Duffy to complain that you saw a gatso van speeding though, that could spiral brilliantly!
