If I'm going to be caught speeding! Which lets face it,fairly likely! I would prefer to be caught by a scooby or evo rather than a Fiesta!
The last time I was stopped, doing 125kph on the N7, you know the 3 laned motorway that's posted 100kph!!
I passed a Garda Isuzu trooper parked in a layby, And I was maybe 100metres past him before he turned his blue lights on,
So my initial reaction was to pull in BUT It occured to me that it would take him at least 20 seconds to match my speed never mind start catching up by which time I'd literally be a mile away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But fair cop (pun) I pulled in and waited,,, and waited, he pulled in behind and I got points No. 5 & 6!
My point is, Being a typically law abiding and respecting person I wouldn't normally think like that but the fact that the potential was there was fuel for such silly thoughts!

I just have to state the obvious here!! I dont in any way condone trying to get away for the gaurds!!!!!!
If I am caught speeding and given more points I toally deserve them! even if I think I'm well within the limits of safety, but there has to be one rule for all! and the garda are there to uphold that!!
I just wish they would stand in the middle of Naas main street at school time and hand out fines and points to poeple driving with unrestrained children in there cars! like those 2 little girls in longford this week!
Sorry about the rant!
