  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,468 ✭✭✭decies


    No very much white.

    I set up a group over on Facebook for people to post where they see the vans.
    Comes in handy sometimes :)

    Not sure about it being a black spot but I've so far seen them in one place that I'd consider dangerous and that was on the Orchardstown road to Tramore last Sunday night. Every other time they're opposite Collins Avenue or McDonald's or somewhere equally stupid.

    Speed camera report dunmore road near bell lake 10.30pm

    If it's the actual Garda Gatso van, it can be used anywhere. If it's one of the privfately operated ones, it can only be used on the stretches of road outlined on that map.

    On the Tramore Road (80kph section). Must have been very boring for them as all the traffic was flashing warnings and doing about 60!

    While I support speed control I did feel that the traffic - which was travelling in convoys as the leaders were warned there was something ahead - was driving nervously and erratically, which rather defeated the purpose.

    I find those signs that tell you what speed you are doing are much more helpful and I do respond to them.

    theres been a few times when meself and the lads would be out spinning, bored as you do. we'd drive in the airport road to town and back out the dunmore road to dunmore east and there'd be no sign on the gatso van. honestly ive only ever met that van 2 or 3 times and id be driving in and out to town a couple of times a week.
    Is it the same van that covers tramore/butlerstown/airport road/kilmeadan/dunmore road or are they just not doing the 24 hours thing properly?

    Did I hear an ad the other day that said the vans are only in places where people died due to excessive speed?

    I don't remember any excessive speed accident fatalities at Earlscourt petrol station..

    Minus the speed. Just where people were killed.

    I'm not sure it would be classed as advertising tho.

    Shootin fish in a barrel....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,468 ✭✭✭decies


    This is what pisses people off when they know there are in a area that has a sudden and unusual drop in speed limit . Do they ever catch people doing 120 in a 100 kph zone!!!

    Oh yes, that well-known accident blackspot...

    Those ads on the telly should be withdrawn. Full of lies.

    Vans placed on roads that have killed people. Crap.

    Speed is the biggest cause of road deaths - untrue.

    How do they expect people to respect the rule of law if they enforce it with lies and subterfuge?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,625 ✭✭✭wmpdd3


    I totally agree AND I never speed, honestly. I'm used to driving company cars or driving with workmates, I'd be screwed if I ever got points.

    I see so many people breaking the law and these guys are shooting fish in a barrel. What a waste of resources.

    if it isnt what is?? seatbelts? poor training? dodgy roads?

    the main reason for the decrease in rd's imo , is the opening of the upgraded motorways taking traffic out of villages and dangerous roads networks.
