    Ronanstown Garda are using a Mk 4 Traffic Corp Mondeo for just regular use in estates the past while. Dunno what it is about that car but its just odd looking :D maybe due to the fact its actually not been used for roads policing haha

    Who honestly signs off on the crap they believe is suitable....

    We honestly took a step back in 2014 to what we had in 2007 or even before this....

    I know I know I keep saying but the lights on the unmarked are pure sh1te as are the sirens....

    That Landcruiser isn’t even tax exempt like a Garda/EMS vehicle would be (I think?)

    Could it be fire? Or is it that lad Dewitt from America that does the funeral escorts....

    If you haven't seen it.... Please please check him out on YouTube, mind your ears though..... He is insane, caught and charged with his own body can footage of him impersonating police.

    He’s been charged more times than my phone,

    That jeep is a possible CAB seizure, similar to the unmarked white Tucson that’s around that area, uncommon to see an unmarked Tucson.

    If it was it would be registered with a D Reg like the second hand BMW's picked up a few years ago.

    They can't rereg it surely, so if it is an existing out of Dublin reg, that would explain it.

    Well I know they generally do, but only if it is within the 'rulebook' so to speak. foreign says they did for sure, so that answers that then. There are so many people who would pay to have their reg numbers match their own county, so interesting that a structure exists to allow this to take place.

    To ordinary folk no but official business such as Garda it would be possible.

    It makes sense when you consider it might end up trying to pull someone. Are you going to stop for a reg that is anything other than D?

    Random question i saw about 12 motobike cops escorting a huge lorry on the m50 a few weeks ago. They had all the lanes blocked up backing everyone up.
    Any idea what was in the truck!?

    It's ICRR. Think the car itself is ex ECRR. The doc who operates it is a trainer in UCD.

    Saw Mountain Rescue in Wicklow last weekend. Full blues and really bright headlamp strobes. Had an 11 WW plate, so not an official state vehicle. Would this be legit use of blues and twos?
