From Capri, in photo thread: Bound to happen - likely Avensis was using probably Luas tracks and didn't stop for (---) Luas stop light - nearly had one myself at Beresford Pl / Abbey st , Transit drove straight thru (---) Luas stop light - I had the green light !
Think I'll have to get my dash cam, as 'accidents happen' but WHO'll get the blame ???

That's possible, but could have been a UT, or the other vehicle may have broke the lights etc. etc.

Lets hope the members are okay.

One vehicle was overturned on the tracks just outside the Abbey Theatre and a marked garda car was also involved in the incident. The Luas was not involved.

No was serious injured. Thank god

ALL things are possible but the balance of probabilities based on what I see every day is
1) Garda car not exercising care / talking on mobile when driving on Luas track
2) Other vehicle broke lights / talking on mobile
3) I presume you meant that you hoped ALL involved in the accident were ok ??

No doubt the GSOC will get to the truth

Apparently the Avensises (Avensi?) were grey because Toyota couldnt supply enough white cars on demand. I could be wrong though.

Really I presumed it was for detection purposes, ie. harder to spot in rear view mirror. I had heard this was the case in England, but why now change a year later, it irritates me why there are so many different makes and models of marked cars, i would prefer a more uniformed approach as i believe its more professional, as for unmarked cars i believe there should be as many different makes as possible !

Also remove them god for saken wastes of money 1.4's (Yaris, corolla's etc.) There a joke, community policing or what its like showing up to a gun fight with a spud gun ! (In situations when then might be need outside of CP)

Rant over

They did it in the UK to increase resale value. Silver, grey and black are much more popular colours than White. Its nothing to do with how easily spotted they are. Most UK cars are absolutly plastered in Battenburg markings so it wouldnt make much sense if they were trying to evade detection.
