garda traffic corp

Bumpstop

another slow day on the M50. I am driving in lane 1, a garda traffic corp jeep is in the merging lane. with miles to go before he has to merge.
Without indicating he pulls across in front of me. I only had to lift off, still, cheeky. He then without indicating goes into lane 2.
He drives along there for a while then, he slowly, without indicating drifts back into lane 1 in front of me. After a while he drifts left into the exit lane and exits. not once did he use his indicator.


It all had a stance of F U C K you motorist I can do what I like.
I can't wait untill I get a road hawk and post this stuff.

What else do you expect?

Did you report this anywhere other than the internet?

Bumpstop

lmao fishtits excellent name. to be honest, I expect our authorities to lead by example, you at least would think they know they are being watched, and not just act like arrogant pricks behind the wheel.

Bumpstop

I didn't report this at all, and I know this puts it in the realm of hearsay. so when I get my roadhawk I will post anything that comes up.

OP Southbound at 17:30 saw this ahead, thought it was just a jeep that looked like a cop car. Bloody thing was all over the road.

OK, let me sum this up:

OP wanted the M50 to himself...

Cheers, (and good luck with that,)

That just means that Gardai can equally bad as many other drivers - no more, no less.

Probably too busy eating their jambons to concentrate on the road

"you at least would think they know they are being watched"

The garda wouldn't know they where being watched even if they where carrying a video camera, and talking about sexually assaulting protesters.

basic problem with most Gard drivers is they have had no training to drive garda vehicles so are as poor a standard as Drivers as the average Irish Driver.

Was sitting in a left turn lane the other day with the indicator on and a bike cop decided to undertake me as the light went green and drive straight on. Stupid move. Only I seen him he'd have been splattered. No blue lights on

My money is on him merely trying to blend in. Bear in mind the road he was on, he'd only draw attention to himself if he started to drive like a considerate driver. Imagine the havoc he would cause if he used indicators on the M50, all the other racers drivers around him would be mesmerised by the strange flashing orange light!
