Anyone see the big neon sign on the Rock Road "Garda message to cyclists please obey the rules of the road". Just saw it today don't know how long it's been there. I hope they follow this up with "Garda message to motorists stop at amber".
The roadside LED signs have been showing "Garda Message to Cyclists" installments all year on and off (preceding each one, bizarrely, with a "No Cycling" symbol).
The first one was "Wear a helmet Reduce the risk", which presumably was a reference to the RSA's misanalysis of Garda collision statistics.
The next one, as I recall, was a "Stop at Red" message.
Then a "Be Safe Be Seen" sort of message.
Now this one.
I have no objections to the final three , but it does seem a bit of an over-emphasis on cyclists, given that pedestrians are a much bigger group in the KSI statistics.0 -

^^ QED on the male/female thought process :pac:
The worst thing I've seen a Garda doing was as follows: I was driving on the newly opened M8 motorway, doing about 110km/h, family onboard, heading home on a Sat afternoon, there was a car in front of me doing the same speed but when they slowed off a bit I decided to pass, I was just about to finish the manoeuver when I thought I saw something heading towards me, yep, it's a car :eek:, and he's going quite fast, I tear back into the slow lane, and zoooom there's goes the Garda car past me in 'my' fast lane, in the opposite direction !!!! & no flashing lights or sirens, I looked over at my wife and she was in a state of shock, as for a moment there I thought I was going mad
Friday morning while going to work, again on the M8, in thunder rain, my wiper decided to call it a day and broke !! Not an easy situation to deal with but managed to get to work unscathed, phew.
A friend of mine told me that he saw 2 cyclists on the M8 yesterday, but........there were being spoken to by a Garda, and he had his little black book in his hand, presumably he was throwing it at them !!
Moral of the story...............stay away from the M8 :pac::p0 -

Yates is a Citeh fan, and we all know you need lots of drugs to be able to support them
