Saw Mountain Rescue in Wicklow last weekend. Full blues and really bright headlamp strobes. Had an 11 WW plate, so not an official state vehicle. Would this be legit use of blues and twos?

Doesn't have to be a state vehicle to have blues/sirens.

Also doesn't matter if it's a ww reg?

I believe Dublin/Wicklow Mountain Rescue are registered with PHECC as an ambulance service, so probably using blue lights under that section of blue light regs.

Here is a bit of a strange one. I was heading into the Swords Pavilions carpark a week or so ago and a rather large dash mounted light on a 3 series caught my eye as it was leaving the carpark. I looked back on my dashcam later to take an image, but does anybody want to hazard a guess as to why it's there?

What’s the reg? Put it into here, and if it returns a figure for motor tax it’s not a Garda/state owned car

Looks like 191D24643 and it is taxed privately. Initial thoughts were that it was a state car but they usually opt for 7 series ( Leo currently has a 7 series )

punisher5112 · 28-02-2020 3:52pm

Doctor car maybe?

28-02-2020 7:22pm

Or Fire Officer. Or it could be amber.

punisher5112 · 29-02-2020 2:54pm

That's UK 101 number on side.

Got some smack up the hole.....

From that damage I'd say it was stopped.

And suspect placed nicely into rear seat of 5 series :pac:

That smashed up BM is an X5 hard to make out at the angle of the car, as stated already on the other thread.

They have around the 300hp mark, would love one.

Those Land Cruisers look class with the hidden blue lights at the bottom foot well.

Duke O Smiley · 01-03-2020 5:09pm

That Landcruiser must be getting on a bit now! What is it, 2006?

F**K ALL!!!

:D:D

punisher5112 · 01-03-2020 9:40pm

Seen silver one at Harcourt and rear bumper is split all the way down from the boot cut line down through where the reflector should be....

carzony · 01-03-2020 11:49pm

Those Land cruisers will be around for a long time yet, they'd do very little patrol work and would only be driven for special operations, such as that one.
I see Traffic don't seem to have many of them left. I spotted one on the Nass Road a few weeks back.

Parapara2017 · 02-03-2020 12:11am

Sure NAS still has pre 2000 Isuzus operational, plenty of.life in her yet! :P

Theres 5 brand new white mondeos up in Clonshaugh, (the place that kits out and marks the cars). Now it doesnt mean there for the Guards as they do work for all emergency services.

Ill keep an eye out keep an eye out on who they are for.

The convoy for William and Kate drove by me yesterday:

1x 191 reg BMW x5
1x 201 reg BMW x5
1x 192 reg BMW x7
1x 161 reg Range Rover
Several older garda Pajero, 5 series, i40 and garda bikes

The range rover is definitely armored and presumably owned by UK royalty or security services, not sure about the BMWs.

The BMW's are most likely to be from BMW Ireland and the RR from JLR UK.
