It has emerged gardaí will not be issuing penalty points on fixed charged notices to drivers during next Tuesday's day of action.

In a statement the Garda Representative Association said it had advised its members they were not obliged to carry out a number of usual functions during the public sector strike.
It includes issuing notices to motorists for speeding, failure to wear a seatbelt ,driving while holding a mobile phone, or dangerous overtaking.

A spokesman for the GRA said the action would be within the law because the issuing of fixed penalty notices is discretionary.

Bare in mind that this is descretionary for the Gardai involved so if your acting the complete muppet or your dangerous, you're still gonna get done.

had no intentions of acting the complete muppet, meant that it would be interesting to observe how driving attitudes change on tuesday!!

Also must have missed the original post, any mod could merge the two perhaps??
