Yea its shite alright. Not sure but with Traffic Watch, you have to give evidence in Court to see a prosecution follow – that has obvious implications. I mean, could I be arsed? Could the perpetrator turn out to be a axe-murderer if I grass him up? Does any of ye know what the deal is with Traffic Watch? Don’t answer, I don’t care. I havent heard anything good out of it yet. Someone told me the Danes have set up a Public website where you can type in someones reg following some shite driving, up pops their contact details and you can ring them up for an ear-bashing – straight up! No doubt the liberal weenies here would have kittens if Minister ‘Lightning Noel’ Dempsey punted that on before the Dail… I think it’s great the way our european contemporaries have this kind of thing, it’s how it should be… dickhead goes around roundabout wrong way times two, and you ring him up later to call him to explain what a tool he is…

But perhaps you are right: The lad I spoke to (I learned later) had a more serious issue to deal with, so I don’t feel wronged by being fobbed off on that occasion, but it may have been dealt with better by Traffic Watch.

clearly you didnt take the time to read the thread.

AFAIK it can’t be taken as an offence to display pictures with reg numbers since the internet is a public domain, just like in real life! If you see their reg on their car in the street are you causing an offence? Nope!

Otherwise all sorts of scum would be getting away with murder if you saw them driving like a twat in their car and took down their number so you could pass it to the police – who then turn round and say “oooh sorry sir, you’ve infringed on this fanny’s Human Rights, would you like to come this way?”

Post pics far and wide, name and shame these muppets!!

http://www.barryboys.co.uk have had their fair share of threats over posting numberplates, but they’ve been going for years! (its a website to laugh at piss-poorly modded cars)

Why did I not give this version?… Well I didn’t have the website or a printout of it handy when I was standing in the middle of a shopping centre talking to the radio presenter. Why did I not identify the location of the incident or the Garda station? Because that wasn’t important to the interview – I was just giving an example of what kind of stories could be found on the site.

And why are you asking if *I* witnessed it? Of course I didn’t – it’s primal sneeze’s story, not mine!

I heard the EDITED version of this incident on the radio from Niall. Why did he not give this version or identify the location of the incident or the Garda Station ? Did it really happen ? Did he witness it or did he hear it from a reliable source ?

Did anyone make a written statement of complaint to the Guards or not ? The Guard was well within his rights to take the line he did if nobody was willing to make a writtten statement for future legal proceedings.

Sad but true for very sound legal reasons.

Just shows how people never ever learn from experience.

Drivers who killed three while racing are jailed

Two motorists who raced each other like “mad men” in their high-performance cars and caused a crash in which three pensioners were killed were each jailed for seven years yesterday.

The pair did not know each other but became involved in a race when one out-accelerated the other at traffic lights.

From then on, Adrian Kuti, 42, in his Porsche Cayenne, and Richard Cherry, 31, in his Toyota Celica, weaved through traffic, overtaking, undertaking and tailgating at speeds of up to 100mph until Kuti smashed into a Proton on the A217 near Banstead in Surrey.

Joan Harp, 78, and her passengers Joan Clover and Kathleen Deards, both 83, died. Elsie Galagher, 88, survived but will never fully recover from her injuries.

The Porsche’s on-board computer showed that it was travelling at 80mph at the moment of impact, double the speed limit for the road. Two of the Proton’s occupants were propelled 40 yards through the air by the force of the collision.

Kuti, a construction worker from Cheam, and Cherry, a quantity surveyor from Carshalton, Surrey, who were both on their way home from work, were said to have driven like “mad men”. Judge Neil Stewart said they were equally responsible for the consequences of their actions. They had been found guilty of three counts of causing death by dangerous driving following a week-long trial and returned to be sentenced at Guildford Crown Court yesterday.

In addition to the jail term both were disqualified from driving for six years.

Kuti had been jailed for five years in 1992 for a road rage attack where he sprayed ammonia in the face of another driver after an argument at traffic lights.

Cherry had no criminal record but had six points on his licence for speeding.
