He does. He nearly knocked me down yesterday. Totally reckless. I had it on camera and am going to the Guards.Do you drive a car?
What is the relevance of these data? Do those cameras operate on the basis of tracking your movements around the national road network?Nah, Ireland is bizarrely low in European terms:
Infographic: The Countries with the Most Speed Cameras per km²
This chart shows the European countries with the most speed cameras per 1,000km².www.statista.com
It's an old graph but Ireland didn't even fit on the graph, to quote:
'The lowest (not shown here) was Ireland with a mere 0.2."
I can guarantee that GB figure is higher, I seriously doubt the Ireland figure is materially higher in that time
80 kmph max on the South Link Road.https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/...eed-traffic-cameras-to-be-in-place-by-autumn/ Speed limits are also set to be reduced en mass by the end of the year. https://www.thejournal.ie/reducing-...nment-amid-rising-fatalities-6354849-Apr2024/
or pedestrians who cross when they feel like it!!!Moreover, cameras are going to be mounted on traffic lights throughout the country so as to fine the driver of any car that breaks a red light (no mention of cyclists doing the same).
Cameras to be placed on national roads throughout the country to check that speed limits are not being breached on an 'average speed' basis.
In short, a move towards total surveillance of motorists' every move.

Good idea and about time. Those that don't break the law will have nothing to worry about.Moreover, cameras are going to be mounted on traffic lights throughout the country so as to fine the driver of any car that breaks a red light (no mention of cyclists doing the same).

It is a good thing, that arse holes who are incapable of stopping at red lights might be deterred what about the cyclists and pedestrians ?What is the relevance of these data? Do those cameras operate on the basis of tracking your movements around the national road network?
The focus on putting this camera network on motorways is off point by way of road safety - 7% of road fatalities between 2020 and 2022 occurred on motorways. About a quarter of deaths were on urban roads and yet this is where Eamon Ryan is also on his high horse: motorists breaking red lights.
Ireland has third-highest level of deaths on rural roads in EU | BreakingNews.ie
Only Finland and Sweden have a higher proportion of all road fatalities on rural roadswww.breakingnews.ie
