But the driver was probably in the army.
Far as i know they're not only checking army vehicles but personnel driving their own cars. 0 -

To quash a few myths.
Military police have power to do ther own lads driving military vehicles. There was probably a lot of military traffic on the road that day. Speed checks give the MPS something to do
The army have a heap of staff cars, could this be what was pulled in? They're not usually marked in the last few years .
An Garda siochana can do military vehicles for any breaches of rules of the roads, just like any other civilian and penalty points can be applied to their civi licence, but usually they won't stop a military vehicle in case there is weapons etc on board, instead they ring the local barracks and report the offence.
Finally military vehicles have slightly lower speed limits which are enforced by the military police.0 -

Apparently there's a law dating back to the civil war that it is illegal for anyone including guards to stop a military vehicle.
That would have caused mayhem on the Maginot Line: entire batallions of German troop transports pulled over to the hard shoulder on the border because of 'crackdown' on illicit speeders by Les Gendarmes. Why, it'd be enough to make one............go via Belgium.
Oh, hold on............
No, they don't. They have no civil powers to stop traffic.
...that's all very well until we have a Coup d'État....
Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
