Shock, Horror! Government Ministers speed!

 

The Irish Mail on Sunday are “reporting” that Government Ministers and their cars have been cought excesivly speeding… and this is during a week when a load of new “state of the art” Gatso vans where bought…. great. government loosing money, not enough in the exchecker, and they go and blow a lot of money on some new Transit vans….

In all fairness, who really cares that a government minister and their garda driver is doing 200k in a 100k zone? same reason most people dont complain when the garda pass you on a motorway doing 100k in a 60k work area… they are trained to do these speeds, and so are the cars! they are not honda Civics or Fiat Puntos. they are high end Mercs and and Audis.
 
Ireland has a stupid reputation for going after speeders… People speed. big deal. and yes, people die in road crashes… i agree, speeding can be bad if you hit a tractor or Fiat Punto comming around a blind bend while your doing 160kph… but, lack of speed can also kill… you finding a fiat punto doing 40k on a motorway while your doing the 120kph speed limit can really ruin your day too….
did you know, 6 people a year die from licking 9 volt batteries…. wonder when the health and saftey loonies will start to stick stupid stickers on those…
