[eire05]

My, my. You lads have been busy. Nice foto documentation!

What is the meaning of "Garda"? Sounds like something to be used in Spain?

Cheers!

What corkguykev said!! I've added a few more pics to the first post.

This past Sunday, the Irish channel RTE 1 started a new documentary series about the Irish traffic corps here....

RTÉ Television - Traffic Blues

I was able to "acquire" it online and posted it up on my other youtube account.

A pretty good show actually and we had expected it to be a load of "speed kills slow down." drivel that we usually hear from the Road Safety Authority (RSA) here .

It will be 6 episodes in total and I had to cut them down into 3 parts each to fit them safely within the 10 minute time limit on youtube.

Hopefully, it will give you guys an insight into road policing here and I hope you enjoy it also.

I will be updating this thread with the next episode as soon as they post it on the playback site. Hopefully on Sunday night here so watch this space .....



P.S. Big props to eire05 for the help on this one also. Couldn't have done it without your help mate .

Thanks mate ^ .

All 6 episodes are now on that thread. The final one was on TV here Sunday night.

whatever the road in the world your experience is to be applied

May the road be safer for all without turning it into Big Brother playground

Cheers from stealthed-space-time , the last frontier of freewill.

Cardboard Action.



Have I been done Speeding? Don't be silly everyone knows Garda cars don't have alloy wheels!



Sneeky but effective...and twice as useful as a 3D cop



Bolted into concrete....other wise it will end up in some students house!




Front and rear!

I LOVE how their cars and vests are so reflective! That is how it should be!

Indeed 9/10 times you'll see the hi-viz car! HOWEVER both myself and corkguykev both have encountered ninja garda hiding in bushes not to mention those pesky photo RADAR vans grrrrrrrrrrr ..

One thing however I will note comparing Australia to Ireland, Ireland is a lawless country in comparison! Australia is littered with Speed Cams, Bus Lane cams, Redlight Cams, City Rangers (Yes the very ones that mark chalk on your tyreto make sure you've moved your car! C*nts!) , etc

Indeed I have come across a few of these "Crouching Garda, hidden camera", types a few times in the past. One of them provided me with my biggest save to date a year ago and just a few days after I installed the dash camera..

You can't even see him on the video (quality setting didn't help at the time ) because he wasn't just hiding behind the bush, he practically was the bush . I couldn't even see him myself until I was practically beside him at the time. Soon after which, I added in my bit of "commentary" lol.
