Hi All,
I was pulled over for speeding about 2 months ago. First offence in 16 years of driving.
It was on a new road that had no streetlights and signs of about 12 inches diameter. It was my first time on this road and I thought the limit was 80kph when it was actually 50kph. I was doing 71kph. Anyway I'm big enough to say I was in the wrong.
When the Garda pulled me over she took the details from my license, she never bothered to ask me a single thing, not a thing.
I drove on, then turned around to go home as I was disgusted with myself. As I was going home the Garda passed me obviously heading back to the station as her nights work was done.
Had the Garda bothered to ask she would of found out I had moved address 2 years ago and the one on my license was not correct.
My question is what is the procedure for informing you of the points and what happens now the Garda hasn't got my correct address?
Apologies if it seems like I'm Anti-Garda but in the previous week a friends house was burgled and up to now still no sign of the Garda and also while driving on a country road with my young God child a car came up over a dip and nearly blew me off the road into the ditch. Speed limit was 50 and the girl was way over it.
I just can't understand why Garda are not on country roads with speed cameras or at country pubs at 11:30 pm instead of 7pm when it's obvious they're not going to catch anybody.
Rant Over!!
