Dish

that sounds like bull tbh, standard procedure is points and a fine

Volvoboy

Your still considerd a minor in the states eyes hence no points or fines, i'd say if your on a provisional and were on your own they will limit the use of the car.

Sounds like you're very lucky indeed, and that the Gard is actually looking out for your interests as a motorist, rather than using the opportunity as a money making excercise.

The Liason officer, will probably discuss driving a car responsibly with you. And recommend some training. Which you should probably get anyway, it makes you a safer driver, but a better driver too at speed should the need ever arise.

The Guard was sound bout it all! Like im on my first provisional and all like! He took me details so like could I be getting a fine for no full licensed driver accompanyin me?

I always assumed when people dropped the word "like" into sentances it was a speech impediment done through habit, or done involuntarily. How does that work for the written word?

Nd that question has what to do with this topic!

Here's a bit of advice Dish - say nothing more on the topic other than please and thank you if and when you get an answer. I'm not slagging you, but I can see you're simply cannon fodder for some people here, from your grammar to your personal circumstances. So cut yourself a break and just read the replies.

Holsten

Driving a week and already pulled over?

Hahah, wonder how long your driving career will be...

skibum

Don't worry Dish, there can only be one Drdre
But seriously take wet-paints advice on board, you know it makes sense.

Edit: just having read this : http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=53787125&postcount=25, I think Drdre could be knocked from his number 1 position!!!

miju

not to start the band wagon hopping but personally believe your parents are incrediblyfoolish to be letting you out on your own unsupervised after only driving a week (and thats not bringing in the fully licensed driver thing either)

wet-paint

All you really need to know is that you're being slagged. Seriously man, you're bringign your own thread off topic.

Don't say I didn't warn ya.

OMFG, are you Lorax's secret love child!!!

Seriously, you need to cop on big time, you're 17 years old, a week driving and you've been pulled over for speeding. From reading your posts you are stereotype boy racer material. Again, cop on before you go out and kill somebody. Drivers like you are an example of how fúcked the provisional driving system is.

Dish

Yup im am a boy racer! Im not gona deny it! I do love speed. Im not going to lie about it like! G on ahead and say best of luck to me and so on. I just asked at the start of this topic had anyone been visited by a Public Liasons person before on my grounds!

wet-paint

Oh go for it lads, I give up.

And Dish? If you meet this Liason officer, could you get their contact details and post up here, just in case someone here wants to, um, er, ask about what their job entails? Good lad.

The question has been answered as accurately as possible. Maybe a few PP's might teach young Hamilton a lesson.

Now you know as well as anyone that PPs are probably not going to teach anything. Its a sad fact of life that many boyracers don't slow down until they are killed/injured or kill/injure someone in a speed related accident.

~Rebel~

Coming from someone who has lost people to idiot young speed merchants - seriously cop on with it. After a week of driving thats absolutely ridiculous. Trust me - your not as good as you think you are. One thing to keep in mind is, just because you like speed, doesnt give you the right to force others on the road to deal with your reckless driving. Your not the only one it effects.

On the liasons officer, i dont know their role im afraid, though i hope he can inspire some sense.

Maybe his 'rents might take a bit of notice that young Hamilton needs some maturity before he gets himself some wheels roysh.

I'm a young driver and its this type of person that makes me pay more for my insurance than I should have to.

commited

It's times like this that I'm happy insurance is so high for 17 year olds. I do feel sorry for the guys who have their heads screwed on and use appropriate speed at appropriate times though.

nialler

We all understand the need for young people to have some form of transport outside of the larger cities specially in very rural areas, but one thing Dish, those rural roads are infinitely more dangerous, there's generally no speed limits and you then go and speed on

When I was a few years older than you (a few mind ya) I had three friends all killed in the one car speeding on rural roads, the bus they hit the front axle was driven back 4 feet, they were in a mini, needless to say they were scraped out of the car.

milltown

My dream of Karma:

The liaison officer turns out to be a Lugs Brannigan type, old school copper, who liaises seven bells out of him with his own Sparco seat belt.

Then all would be right again.

Dish,
Get yourself to a good school, then a good driving school. Hard as it may be to understand now, being able to communicate with the written and spoken word will get you much further in life than finding roads that are "unreal for speeding".

Dish you're destined to be a perpetual statistic; I see a bright future for you in a sudden shift from being listed in the rankings of the % of low-IQ individuals who deftly defeat Irelands educational system, to becoming a member of the % of our 17 year olds who like to pop their spots off tree-trunks @ 140KMPH after a detour through a laminated windscreen. I'd laugh if there wasn't the huge risk of you maiming some poor person, child or whoever in the process.

I don't think that David Ivan Sean Harvey [public domain from the dopes profile] the intrepid "Rallyin, Drifting" icon [who has been driving a week] should be too hard to find.

It is pretty unreal that a 17 year old who is driving a week can be caught speeding on his own.

The Guard that stopped Dish for speeding probably let him drive off home on his own!!! The provisional driving system is a joke at the best of times but the fact that the few laws that do exist for 1st provisional drivers are not enforced is ridiculous.

On another point I thought there was a pre test before you got your provisional now, from reading Dish's other posts, how the **** did he pass that part????

There is no grammer section in the theory test.

Slightly hypothetical question, should a person living in say somewhere
near 'Letterkenny' not have an Irish reg plate?

How would one report a presumed non VRT payment?

cormac_byrne

From his bebo page

Understanding Donegal
1. Donegal is NOT PART of Northern Ireland...we may be geographically in the north but we ARE part of the REPUBLIC!
2. We DO NOT use sterling.
3. We DO NOT do A-levels.
4. We DO NOT have english licence plates. (Legally, although we do keep Customs very busy! Word of advice: never hand your keys over to them no matter what)
5. Yes we DO have drive-thru car washes.
6. Daniel O Donnell may be from Donegal,but that doesn't mean we actually like him.
7. We HAVE the sexiest accent in the entire world. FACT

typical of the knobs I see driving around and around Letterkenny every time I'm up there usually with their boyfriends in the back seat.

Love the armchair republicanism on the bebo page. He's typical of the border area boy racers hopefully he'll grow out of it

Right way off topic now! But anyway! I was brought up to standup for what I beileve in, and I believe in a united 32 county republic. You's have been nothing but hypacritical to me in this thread, but I cudnt careless to be honest. BTW the pictures I have of my car are old ones and I've paid the VRT.

I understand where u's are coming from about the statistics thing but you's can **** off bout the republicanism part. People have their beliefs, others should respect that!:D

Dish

Close thread please! Way off topic and arroganience is all thats coming out of it.

want2play

Wow, you put a posting on boards.ie and all people want to do is dig up dirt.
Yes the OP has a bad attitude and im far from standing up for him but he asked about a liasons officer.

What about the Guard not doing his job, are 17 year old excempt from penelty points, driving alone on first provisional?

MOD's here also pick and choose whats "off topic" and "personal comments"Ive seen people banned for way less. Joke

skibum

Drdre has been knocked off his throne!!
I didn't think I would ever see the day.

Long live* the new Drdre of the motor fourm, hail Dish!!

*then again judging from all the evidence produced here regarding his attitude and (lack of) experience and driving skills............

Marcus.Aurelius

C'mon lads, tone it down. To the OP, you are in need of some driving lessons, official or with a decent driver. You are in no position to be caught out speeding, period.

Seriously, you just can't judge speed right after such a short time. I put my car in the ditch a few times because of it. And I was in Highway Patrol units all over Florida for 8 years, so I wasn't a good or bad driver, just a learner like you.

It seemed to me that I knew 99% what I was doing. It was more like 9.9% when I look back on it. Slow yourself down, crawl before you walk. When you're good at lower speeds, you can build yourself up to be completely competent at nearly any decent speed.

David I think you'll find you're the one being very arrogant.

I was going to slag you off, have a go at you etc however that would be far too easy.

For starters when you want candid advice from an internet forum you should use proper grammer (not 'like' this, 'like' that etc) and spelling.

The reason everyone here has jumped on your case is because you are a walking cliche without knowing it and most posters here are probably alot more mature than you - that's not having a go but it's a simple fact that you are only 17 and most people on these forums are alot older than you.

My advice to you is spend some time reading alot of the posts in this forum, along with links etc. The information contained in them will make you a better driver and a better human being.

I promised I wasn't trying to have a go.....but from your posts on this forum and your bebo page (which you should make private so only your friends can read) you are simply the product of a terrible upbringing. Your parents have obviously failed miserably in bringing you up to be a decent person but that's not your fault at all.

You should read say the first 5 pages of threads in this forum. Learn what common mistakes people make when driving and how speed is the biggest killer etc.

Best of luck!

Dish

I'll take your advice yea! But who are you to tell me that I was brought up wrong! Dont you dare, say that! My parents brought me up well! I wouldnt want it any different!

Dish

tuxy

Why didn't they make sure you got a full education?
Or teach you that the current IRA is just a front for criminal activity.
Or show you to have consideration for others.
Or let you drive before you are mature enough?

Evidently not when it comes to speed and the usual cliched boy racer "mentality"

But who are you to tell me that I was brought up wrong! Dont you dare, say that!

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Judging from some of your posts here, you seem to be an OK kind of person if a little ill educated on matters of grammar and history. Whether that's due to educational issues or a lack of inbuilt grey matter, I'll leave history and the hospital shrink to work out.

At first, I thought and hoped you were taking the píss. I really did. A fictional culchie pighead. A functionally retarded backwoods bogger version of a Ross O'Carroll Kelly character that you were ironing the edges off in this forum prior to publication. Now all I can hope is that you're a one off, but sadly I doubt that as well.

Then I see this thread. Started off OK. Someone looking for advice on possible outcomes of a driving offence. Then the rest. The info that others have gleaned from the web about you beggars belief. It really does. I had honestly no idea this level of clinical idiocy and ill education was even possible in this day and age. It would be bad enough if you were simply the butt of jokes by people on high horses with more brains than you. That would be bad enough and I would not join in, but now you're "in charge" of a potential killing machine. If I may borrow a line from the pro gun crowd; "Cars don't kill people, idiots do".

As others have said you are a walking cliche. Unfortunately due to our woeful lack of proper driver education and restriction of the driving privilege you're now a driving cliche(IQ tests it seems are the way forward). You come across very strongly as someone that if I had my way wouldn't get the keys to a peddle car, never mind something petrol driven

I wouldnt want it any different!

That young sir is your biggest tragedy.

This person scares me. A person I thought only existed in jokes and cliche. I thank the fates I live in the other side of the country.

I hope you get points. I hope you get a youth liason officer that actually makes you cop on. Hope springs eternal though and I suspect you'll just be another stain covered by a blanket on the evening news if you're not very careful. That's the all too common and harsh reality of where a mix of clinical stupidity, youth, little education, lack of insight and cars can bring us.

Jesus.
