It's actually an alright show. Not over-produced, no dumbed down commentary, and hopefully it will be an eye opener to those who think Traffic is 100mph blue light runs day in, day out.

Well done lads.

I think the main problem with Traffic Blues was that the general public, myself included in that, saw the gardai highlighted in that show as being too soft on some ridiculous road traffic offences. Two I can think of off hand was the woman trying to reverse down the slip road to avoid a checkpoint who had a pile of unrestrained kids in the car and the guy in the SUV type thing who while being followed ran a red light at a roundabout, when finally caught up with parked in the central reservation and then was let away relatively unscathed.

It was a bit of a PR disaster really.

I've never understood the concept of traffic lights on a roundabout ? Why build a roundabout in the first place ? Anyway, all that aside. I'd say quite often traffic police be it Garda or PSNI will deal with a whole range of offences. It's not because they're not first in the pecking order to go and lift a shoplifter that the only thing they do is write tickets and that's what's been highlighted nicely by the BBC show.
