Motorways driving

Presumably they’ll change the 100km signs down to 80 before changing the speed limit?
It’s a nuisance on the Galway clifden road now. Nobody knows the speed limit so everyone does 65.

You’d want your head examined to be driving around Ireland without Waze on

Bloody hell. This man doesn’t lie.

Mossad have an annual budget of $3 billion and a staff of 7000.

There’s probably one living on your road or working in the cubicle next to you.

And they’re just one of five intelligence agencies in Israel.

They won’t learn much

Is this to flush out all the fake licences out there?
Although it doesn’t say it…

It’s to flush out uninsured drivers apparently. They were talking about on Morning Ireland earlier. I think they said one in twelve drivers isn’t insured which is ridiculous. Sure a Gardai checkpoint at a busy time must be able to catch loads of them if there are that many.

Well, it’s the same point really.

People now with non-valid licence number will no longer be able to get insurance as they won’t cross-check.

So the effect of this may be increasing the number of uninsured drivers on the roads.

I’m just throwing it out there…

People with fake licenses are uninsured anyway even if they’ve paid for insurance

In tanland you now just get a fine through the post for having a vehicle registered to you which is uninsured if it isn’t SORNed. It’s a pain in the bolox, especially as auto renewal is a swindle of the very highest order, but there you go.

Shades of this I think…

That M50 is a hellhole……

They are.
But the Garda at the check point doesn’t know that.

That smaller white van got some Wavin up the hole.

They have access to the insurance policy nowadays on the mobiles, just depends on how thoroughly they look at the details

The road is perfectly good, it’s the idiots who travel it daily you need to watch.

Tailgating is the crux of all issues.

And the amount of people on phones while driving is getting ridiculous.
