Catching the Brain Dead

Ceanna Claar — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 14:12:20 +0000

IÂ visitedÂ the pile of shite they call Tralee over the past few days. Â The place is bad enough in the light – had a chance to view myÂ friendÂ from the south’s footpath parking morons in action. Â If you’re disabled, have had a recent pregnancy or are are in any fashion a pedestrian Tralee is not the place to visit. Â Pity the poor folk who need to live there.But at night the town is taken over byÂ theÂ brain dead. Â The shaven headed dwarves -with no wedding tackle Â - screamingÂ aroundÂ the town inÂ theirÂ old Civics, Almeras and Corollas getting theÂ thrillsÂ no respectable female would offerÂ themÂ by blasting their ex-silencers as loud as possible, trying hand brake turns as if they invented them and generally being as anti-social as their small sized heads and willies would lead you to expect.Â And the Gardai. Â What Gardai? Â The noise lasted from 11pm to 3am. Â I reckon 4 hours is just not long enough to mobilise. Â And sure is there not a shift change in the meantime. Â You need to be snuggly back at base for the shift change – not out enforcing the law or anything.Â

How to Collect 12 points in one go

Ceanna Claar — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 19:37:52 +0000

1 Park on the footpath and force pedestrians to walk on the road. Convicted.. 5 points
2 Abuse the BanGarda who tickets you in the course of her duties. She inspects your vehicle and finds three defects. 4 points
3 Drive away without fastening your safety belt. Ban Garda chases you. Convicted 4 points

Licence gone!

Any other suggestions – who can do it in 2 steps. ( no drink driving conviction please – this is not a points issue – your licence just disappears in a puff of smoke ).

If your vehicle is commercial vehicle and you were smoking when the fine lady came upon you then there is a hefty fine for smoking in business premises. You are now having fun!!

Speeding Trucks

Ceanna Claar — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 23:55:23 +0000

Trucks (HGV) and coaches are restricted by law to a maximum speed of 80 kph ( 50 mph). The Government states that 85% of all such vehicles exceed that limit and a considerable amount exceed the general limit of 100 kph (60 mph).
In order to do this any such vehicle manufactured after 1997 must DELIBERATELY, and with forward planning to break the law, DISABLE the speed governor incorporated into these vehicles which limits the general speed to under 90 kph ( 55 mph). This is done by removing the relevant fuse.
Any such vehicle travelling over 80 kph thus commits two breaches of the law. Firstly the exceeding of the specific speed limit and secondly the disabling of the governor which is a separate offence.
So who is enforcing the law?

Every motorist knows, as does the Government, that these vehicles deliberately flout the law and travel at speeds in excess of 100 kph or >25% of their specific limit.
Yet how many times have you seen a truck or a coach stopped for speeding or stopped at all?
Every day there are press reports of fatal and non-fatal accidents involving trucks.
Why is the Government not enforcing the law and when they do spot checks why do they announce this two days in advance?
Is there collusion between the enforcing authorities and the trucking industry?
Why does CIE, a semi-state entity, not ensure that Bus Eireann coaches obey the 80 kph limit? When have you ever seen a Bus Eireann coach travelling at less than 100kph? With newly installed GPS devices Bus Eireann can determine which (all) coaches are exceeeding these limits and punish the drivers.
