    The thread is to do with "what is happening to this country" you have derailed the conversation over systematic that everyone is aware of, you have not educated anyone and literally no one cares, jailed for not paying the fine, fined for not having a licence. So your point was to point out this distinction?


    clearly some people are not interested in an education.
    Depends on the source "ohnonotgmail" I doubt is something I could consider credible.

    Ok then forget about your small bump!! How about if someone was crossing the road and he ran them over?? Either way what he done was against the law and he got done for it. You cannot choose which laws apply to you and which dont!!

    I already said it was worthy of a fine. You seem to think a jail sentence is more appropriate.

    I posted a fact not an opinion. Facts are not dependent on the source. they stand on their own.

    A small bump to lose control? Jesus how are there any cars left on the roads in Ireland.

    Guy was driving too fast, I remember same thing happened to an Ambulance driver who was delivering an organ, and I am pretty sure Ambulance drivers are at least trained in high speed driving.
    Doc has what a lot of people may consider a legitimate excuse, but that is all it is an excuse.

    Exacatly, the surgeon has no advanced training. If the judge didnt fine him in this case and let him away think of how many Drs. around the country would now use this as their excuse for speeding.

    O'Connell Avenue

    If you think doing in excess of 100km/h through here any time of the day or night is acceptable, then you shouldn't be on the road.

    The law disagrees, as he is still on the road.

    I would have thought it was very much on topic. It is brought up every time one of these "omg the courts are terrible" threads start. and somebody always claims that people are jailed for not having a tv licence. and we have the same dance we have just had.

    Really? We are using "omg the courts are terrible" AH type language now? I know you "think" your opinion holds more weight than others however the comparison being made from the offset was between being convicted for speeding versus being let off the hook for multiple drug dealings. Not for tv licence ordeals. I think you need to stop dancing, it's novelty has well worn off at this stage.

    why do you have an issue with my correcting a post that was incorrect?

    You need to back up the excuse in court though. Again it's a bit sensational to think that doctors all over Ireland would simply have to regurgitate this excuse and frustrated guards would have to let them go. You also realise there are grounds to appeal speeding fines based on medical emergencies?

    He was called to resuscitate a patient and knowingly broke the speed limit, admitted fault and paid the fine. Calling him a massive risk to human life is very, very silly. That implies a mere fine isn't enough.

    I have not posted any opinions. I also did not bring up the tv licence issue
