Yeah I might have to step in if things don’t improve
When average speed cameras are deployed on every road. Until then there is a very low incentive. I admit I speed – normally in the dead of the night on the motor way. I’ll say one thing – the speed vans don’t work well. The amount of times I’ve seen them in the distance & slowed down from 160/170 & got no ticket is crazy. Admittedly I have a particularly good eyesight. The technology is poor imo. We’ll eventually figure it out but there’s a reasonable chance driversless car will be in before it’s sorted. And that will organically stop all speeding. 10/15 years time? They’ll be in the UK by the end of the year.
And an N plate!
Ah, well, I’ve had a decent few years, €240 isn’t a lot to me. I guess I can drive like a fucking maniac for a while until a guard shows up for a wrist slap.
Woah that’s a very mild punishment. I was expecting something like confiscating the license and maybe the vehicle too… 😐
They should introduce penalties tied to your income. Similar system what they have in Switzerland
240 and 3 points seems low for over double the limit, unless we are missing context
In Denmark they would have taken the car, the license and given a big fine.
Ireland is the country to live out my ”Nedd for Speed underground” fantasies from my youth it seams. €240 is worth it!
Licence revoked, car donated to an auction, removal of any chance of getting behind the wheel of a car until they have completed 50 hours of driving education course and 10 hours community service at a charity dedicated to supporting people who have lost family members due to dangerous driving.
Why is it always an N driver? Like at that age of late teens/early twenties, what are you even in a rush for? To be home for mammies dinner is it.
In some cases a fine like that can be enough. I know a younglad who got a small enough fine for something stupid and the stress of it all drove him to choosing to end his life
I thought 40kph over the limit was automatically a court date?
He plays county
Good thing they didn’t hit anyone with that car, or we would have to ban ebikes and scooters entirely.
What a joke, in Germany it’s €560, 2 month ban and 2 points, at 6 points you have to attend a mandatory driving class.
In Denmark that would fall under ‘vanvidskørsel’ (insane driving literally). And the car would be seized immediately. The fine would be set dependant on the monthly salary of the offender. This guy went over the limit by more than 100%, they’d be fined about 1,5x their monthly salary and their licence would be gone and they’d have to at the very least do a retest and do several lessons before getting it back.
That punishment mentioned in the post is an absolute joke.
If that reading is correct he was doing -113kmph.
Why isn’t the automatic punishment for this behaviour a straight up ban? Two accounts of dangerous driving and only a slap on the wrist
The amount of cringe and out of touch posts I see from the various garda pages is ridiculous
Drop in the bucket. The amount of obnoxious SUV drivers with bright ass LEDs and work vans which often do crazy speed on the M17. A joke.
N plate also…..
.
In Poland, exceeding the speed limit by more than 50 km/h in a built-up area or more than 60 km/h outside a built-up area can result in losing your driver’s license for 3 months to 3 years. The exact penalties depend on the degree of speeding and other circumstances.
I think we should do the same here.
Jezus, that should really be an automatic license taken off you and a day in court
In many countries this is seizure of the car and licence.
This type of fine isn’t a deterrent.
It should be a ban for a couple of years.
As a driver myself, I swear the biggest enemy on the roads today are N plates. It might be the “passing of the test” effect but their confidence is unbelievable and some of the things they do in rush hour traffic is so dangerous.
Surely this should be a dangerous driving charge?
The car must be called the Child Pulveriser
km/h
Might as well have given him a pat on the back and „take it easy lad“. Thats insanely over the limit.
