Maniac Drivers in Cork

[Drucker]

From todays Echo:

A motorist who was caught travelling at 89km/h in a 50km/h zone on the Skehard Road in the city was just one of 123 drivers nationally found to be flouting the speed limit by Gardaí this morning.

Gardaí are today conducting a national speed enforcement operation for a 24-hour period which commenced at 7am.

During the first two hours of national 'Slow Down Day', An Garda Síochána and GoSafe checked the speed of 24,922 vehicles and detected 123 vehicles travelling in excess of the applicable speed limit.

In addition to the motorist caught speeding on the Skehard Road this morning, another motorist was recorded travelling at 118km/h in a 100km/h zone on the M8 in Riverstown, Glanmire.

They checked 24,922 and of that detected 123, that is a very low percentage

118km/h this morning.
Disgrace. The car should be impounded and his licence should be cancelled permanently.

Maniac.

How far was the car from the 120 limit i wonder as the 100 limit goes into the 120 around just around there.

It’s a limit, not a target.

That is sneaky detection, shooting fish in a barrel as the saying goes.

Less than half of one percent of car drivers breaking the speed limit. Obviously, they shouldn't and depending on road conditions being 18% over the speed limit should attract more than just a fine and points imho BUT what percentage of cyclists do you think are breaking the rules of the road - even in round figures. More or less than 50% do you think? Asking for a friend ;-)
