    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.


    Spot on!!

    I have been saying this for ages.. they attribute the decrease in road deaths to the "success of emptying peoples pockets" when its obvious that the new motorways are the real success here.. Typical Irish propaganda!!

    con artists is all they are!

    I just cant understand why the old kilmeaden road is only a 50km zone.

    It doesnt make sense. The NRA would want to get the finger out :mad:

    Depends if they were using a camera on a tripod. That takes a picture of your reg.

    The guard was on the side of the road with the gun, he was holding it, it wasnt on a tripod.

    My brother in law got points lately, he was doing 55 in a 50 zone, it was the Gatso van that caught him, no tolerance for 5 km.

    Gatso vans seem to have a law of there own lol - Guards with speed guns i meant.
    Supposedly a Cd stuck to the windscreen back end up is meant to stop them from reading the speed (gatsos) - not sure of the logic behind them of how it works

    The gun bounces off the reflection on the cd? I never heard that one, only one i heard was to put varnish on the number plate, makes it shiny.

    My friend said that the CD in the back window works, but it has to be an original copy of the single "Who let the Dogs Out" by the Ba-Ha.

    So unless its that CD, forget about it.
    Its not gonna work!!!

    Is the camera only pointing out the back of the van?

    Really? The marked vans? Iv only ever known the vans to have one rear facing camera, that can capture both ways.
