Motorways driving

@pirlo

There was a wallaby going around the roads here in Waterford the last while. He keeps escaping from Waterford castle. He can obviously swim because he gets off the island and he has been seen in sliverue (Kk) and in Ballygunner area. He was in my friends back garden last weekend and they sent some one out to collect him.
He seems to have no bother around people.

There are few things as scary as a car being driven the wrong way down a motorway by joyriders at night. Lives destroyed in an instant.

I got a speeding ticket in the post the other day, 160e, that’s an awful lot of money

Lovely feeling. I got that letter in 2021.

It is but the three points are the killer.

I know, but a lot of people would be hit hard with a 160e fine out of the blue, it was bad enough for me to be honest (I know I could have paid better attention to the speed limit)

yes, you improving your driving habits to be a more considerate driver is a real two fingers to Eamon Ryan alright

They doubled it a while back from €80 to €160.

It was a big jump.

& rightly so

Speed kills & most people treat speed limits as speed targets

It is but long term the points are the killer. Loads up the already extortionate insurance.

Thanks mate

How many points are you allowed?

I don’t know where I am in relation to penalty points at the moment.

I think I have 3.

After the last set I have copped myself on and slowed down. A mug’s game.

12 points within a 3 year period will has you off the road for 6 months.

7 points is the threshold for a learner or novice driver.

12 is a disqualification.

I had 6 a few months ago :grimacing:

When I was in Poland a few years ago, I found the drivers mental.

They pass out with cars coming and expect the oncoming cars to pull into the hard shoulder for them.

It’s 24 points here but of course it depends how they price each offence. I got done for speeding earlier this year and got three points, think I was doing 70 in a 50 zone, stupid really. Paid a fine on the spot to the cop who had a card reader.
