Your man saying he doesn't tweet about his job obviously doesn't understand the point of their Twitter posts. That's like giving out about watching Cops because nobody has a show of him sitting at his desk, scratching his arse while doing spreadsheets. it's not quite just to show that they're doing their job. It helps in that aspect, but it sure is entertaining.

Out of curiosity, when the gardai say they have detected a motorist speeding etc (from a patrol car), do they stop the driver there and then, or is the FCPN posted to the address of the owner. I am asking this because looking at some of those pics I would doubt the owners would have the vehicle registered at all.

They have to stop them with a patrol car it is only the speed vans that catch you with a picture and send the fine out in the post.

Surprised the biker stopped. You'd think it would easily lose the Hyundai.

That is a gamble if you are caught you are in a lot more trouble than you would for speeding.

Happened a brother of mine years ago here in Cork, took a chase of about 15 miles, they set up a road block which he would have gotten through easily, he just decided to pull the bike in before it and spark up a fag.He was charged wth dangerous driving but got off on a legal technicality. this was in 2005.

Was more than likely stopped up the road by another unit not by who detected the speeding.

Delighted. I work nearby and saw this one being read the riot act by a Guard, just assumed it was for parking there (which happens constantly anyway).

joeysoap · 01-09-2017 7:16pm

€50 to the poor box and don't do it again ( i.e. Don't get caught)

Ring the Guards. Give them the driver, the car and where he's driving and get him off the road again. If they took the car, what's he driving?

joeysoap · 02-09-2017 11:48am

It's my opinion that disqualified drivers are driving around all the time. There was a driver banned in Dundalk a few years ago, (6 years) had a drunken smash a few years later (by good luck he missed 3 kids) into a wall in the estate where he was living. Judge gave him a 6 year ban. I'd say the guards feel like giving up sometimes.

they find it very demoralising in any case where they know someone should be banged up.

They can get car collected, they buy in most cases a €€€ car drive till caught then get another.

The person you replied to doesn't know them its obvious the post was aimed at the tweet. Most likely caught car taken and possibly found driving again and again and again.

A bit pointless obscuring the numberplate. I'd guess the car has enough identifying features to be easily recognised.

I've seen that car around, usually 3 or 4 chung lads in it doing laps of the town while revving the sh1te out of it.There's a whole load of these types down here but the funny thing is none of them are from the town itself.

Always wondered this as well. You would think that they would be making more of an effort to be less conspicuous if they are flouting the law.

Sure my neighbours are all driving no licence no insurance. The only one with a licence is the father and he is the only one insured and they all drive as they have a few vehicles. They have been doing it for a few years never caught until recently the daughter was speeding and stopped a few weeks back. So she will be due in court in the future. That court case and what ever happens will not stop her or her family members driving. Sure after being caught she took one of the other cars in family as the one she was driving was seized into town not a bother on her. Not a care in the world.

I do not know how they get away with it. And then speeding to draw attention to herself, crazy like. And before someones says why don't you report them. It's not up to me if they are caught it is their own fault.

bear1 · 04-09-2017 11:54pm

It's not solely for them to be caught though. They leave a trail of misery to whichever poor bastard they hit.
I'd report them and not give two ****s about the whole "oh well it's the police's job to catch them".
We should be helping the police with this and not sitting on the fence.
Know a driver who has no insurance or licence and driving illegally? Phone is right there.

wotzgoingon · 05-09-2017 12:11am

We get on with them it is like ringing the guards on your brother if he was driving un-insured. I won't rat them out but if they get caught it is their own fault. Trust me the only one with a licence is the father and as far as I know he got that for free when they were handing them out years ago. Also just to add they don't even have provisional ones either.

bear1 · 05-09-2017 12:22am

If they would be as close to me as my brother then I would speak very honestly with them to stop what they are doing. It will only end badly for them and whoever else gets hit.
Off topic anyway but just my 2 cents.
