No kids in school means no traffic. Great, keep it up!

20-11-2009 5:11pm

Don't worry I'l be there for the scab labour as usual. You're all getting the points Not the point!

opinion guy · 20-11-2009 5:13pm

gotta say this **** makes me lose symptathy for them. this is just an attention seeking move but it potentially has dangerous consequences. effectively telling people they can break traffic safety rules for the day

You Suck! · 20-11-2009 5:14pm

So basically.....from how I understand......the law is disposable for one day in these cunts favor?

Basically because they feel victimised and don't want to play?

Well.....there you have it!
Don't even ask why this country's fucked!

*Awaits incoming Gardai trying to explain that strike action is needed

myflipflops · 20-11-2009 5:32pm

Gardai wont be striking. They are forbidden by law (garda siochana act 2005) from striking.

Work continues for me on Tuesday so I will be on the roads. I don't think there will be any change in how I drive either.

I honestly wouldn't. The Gardai will be issuing Penalty Points, make no mistake about it.

partyatmygaff · 20-11-2009 5:42pm

The gardaí and defence forces are NOT permitted to strike or go-slow, they are required by law to perform their duties fully.

Anyone that believes this is just an embarassment

Work-to-rule is still a form of strike action

blackbetty69 · 20-11-2009 5:43pm

'It includes issuing notices to motorists for speeding, failure to wear a seatbelt , driving while holding a mobile phone, or dangerous overtaking.'

.. so basically, theyr putting other peoples lives at risk to prove their point? i heard they were gonna turn off their phones as well, dunno how true that is tho :pac:

AnonoBoy · 20-11-2009 5:45pm

It won't be a properly memorable Tuesday unless there's pancakes involved.

Going to drive like a lunatic in this weather just because you think you wont gets points?

Think of the poor cnuts that will have to hold your hand as your dying, pull your mangled corpse out of the car and wash your blood off the road. Oh and think of your mothers face when as she opens the door to the priest and the guard.

Yeah, everyone thinks it will never be me. Slow the fcuk down.

Em, Speed cameras still are in operation and the Gardaí will NOT be striking. BTW Work-to-rule is not srike action it is industrial action.

That speech should be on the telly.
Oh wait now, you've just described the ad that's already on telly.:rolleyes:

Demolition Derby anyone?

Mrmoe · 20-11-2009 5:59pm

This move is so endearing I just want to give the next Garda I see a big hug:rolleyes:

Another unconventional tactic is work-to-rule (also known as an Italian strike, in Italian Sciopero bianco), in which workers perform their tasks exactly as they are required to but no better. For example, workers might follow all safety regulations in such a way that it impedes their productivity or they might refuse to work overtime. Such strikes may in some cases be a form of "partial strike" or "slowdown".

msg11 · 20-11-2009 6:06pm

Would it not make sense to issue more pentaly point, than issue none ? Really piss a few people off. Ah well, I'll be driving as normal, rather my life than driving like a 747 going for take off.

We've all seen the ad a shítload of times, and people would listen to a Road Safety Authority ad moreso than someone on Boards.

Be God, Can't wait to get the old 98 peugeot 106 out and rip the tarmac up.

Well that's me told then :rolleyes:

People don't listen though, that's the problem. I don't care if you dont want to hear it from me, the neighbour, the shop assistant, the waitress or the fcuking post man for that matter. If enough people said it on a daily basis maybe a few less Parents would be crying over graves this Winter!

So yeah, slow down, guards or no guards.

Regards, a Boards nobody

Is it ok for us godless heathens to speed so?

stovelid · 20-11-2009 7:00pm

No points for a day is a worrying thought.

A spike in road deaths could mean an upsurge of ads with emo mots in wheelchairs moping around graveyards after a date in an Irish courtroom weirdly presided over by a British high-court judge.
