Fuck the pigs
Horrendously.
There’s 2 large yellow steel frames on the M7 one near enough to Birdhill the other back 10/15 minutes at 120kmph or so towards Dublin
Fixed cameras as otherwise calibration and distance would be continuously contested

I’ve slowed to the regulation 120 each time passing there but they are still ostensibly in test mode.
Most cars seem to go to 100 to be sure to be sure.

Waze is a great app to warn drivers of impending hazards and traffic and speed checks

It has changed my life in ways I never thought possible.
Chucking a checkpoint into Waze fills me with an enormous sense of wellbeing.

I was driving down the M9 Sunday afternoon doing a steady 120. A lady sped past me in the fast lane. All of a sudden she pulled in front of me and slowed to about 100. I was forced into evasive action and pulled out into the fast lane. I glanced crossly in her direction and noticed that she had taken a call on the mobile and was holding he phone to her ear with her right hand.
Yeah or speed van

After a year of extensive research on the roads of Limerick and Tipperary I can conclude that the slow car in front of the queue will be a Toyota c. 90% of the time. Driver age > 60 is also 90% likely. Reg older than 10 years is c. 50% likely

The likelihood of meeting one of these drivers between Tipp Town and Cashel or Cahir must be > 85% also.
I would agree
They call them “smart motorways” on the mainland. They actually work quite well but they’re stressful as it’s one more thing to worry about.
I’d imagine if you have cruise control it would do the job for you once you set the speed
You can’t use it unless the road is quiet. Mainland motorways are never quiet.
Adaptive cruise control is a game changer in this regard.
I never heard of it. Sounds lovely, but sleep inducing.
Very common now. Set your car to a speed and a set distance. If the car radar detects a vehicle within that distance it slows down automatically to keep that distance. If you move out into the passing lane then the car goes back to the set speed.

I’d love that.
