    The turn off is where they know persons of interest will go and so set up there also(also/primarily)

    There's only one way into a checkpoint

    I was in the (long) queue to a checkpoint on the N22 outside Cork a few weeks ago (a popular spot for checkpoints) and I must have seen half a dozen cars do a u-turn and head off - none followed as far as I could see.

    I moved house back in October , my commute home from work is reasonably similar ,About two weeks after moving while driving on autopilot I turned left (route to old house) where I should go straight and ran into a check point , I used the no traffic coming other direction to make a U-Turn and head back the right direction and I had a Garda Motor bike pull me over about 3 mins later.

    I explained what happened to a very dubious Garda , but having checked my tax and insurance etc he let me on my way.

    Wife was on her way home 3/4 weeks ago and spotted a checkpoint up the road. She had renewed her insurance but hadn’t put the new disc in the windscreen, it was still in an envelope in the glove box (don’t ask why - she does these things sometimes!)

    So she decides the smart thing to do is to pull over and put the disc on display before approaching the checkpoint.

    By the time she looked up from retrieving the envelope she had Garda on a bike pulling up beside her asking what she was doing. She said he just laughed at her when she explained
