Do you warn other drivers of Garda speed-traps and the camera van?

Or is it a case of "if you're driving above the speed-limit, tough!"?

Always! Absolutely!

I've never, in all my years driving, saw a speed camera van/Garda set up in an "accident black spot" or outside somewhere like a school where drivers should drive slowly.

No. They're usually too busy on their phones to notice anyway.

Never seen one.. but I always warn folk when there are sheep or cattle loose...or deer or wild goats....

Always. I appreciate when other drivers warn me, so I'd be a hypocrite not to. Speed traps are often placed at the bottom of hills, so it's fairly easy to find yourself driving slightly over the limit for a few seconds, even if you're not a habitual speeder.

I rarely speed, but I occasionally have had oncoming drivers flash the lights at me. My first thought is a speed check (and I double check that I'm under the limit); then I realise that they could be warning me of an accident or hazard ahead. So, to be safe, I'll slow down a little bit more. (Nothing ridiculous, but enough to give myself more time to react.)

I'm not one to be guilty of lack of progress when driving, by the way, I'm usually driving at the limit - just not over it. But I don't warn other drivers, in case other non-speeding drivers react the same way I do - by slowing down unnecessarily, and clogging up the roads for everyone.

I don't judge those who do exceed the limit, by the way. I've done it myself in the past (just not any more), and I don't think speed limits are set appropriately on many roads - I can see the justification for speeding when road conditions etc suit.

Yes - except BMWs - feck them they've got it coming :pac:

I used to always. Dont bother my hole any more.

The_Valeyard

Always. People are good and let me know in return. It's the way it works.

Triboro

Sure do! Have benefited from others warning me.

Super-Rush

Nope.

If you can't drive within the limits then piss off.

Banjo String

Always.

Especially when there isn't actually a gard with a radar, or a gatso van in sight.

(it confuses the fcuk outta them)

Pat Mustard

Absolutely. I've been warned about speedtraps before so I always warn other drivers.

Pointless exercise, they'll be posting to all their friends on facebook whilst driving as soon as they pass it anyway.

That reasoning has never occured to me before. Makes sense...

Na, I'm perfectly capable of breaking the law on my own, and I expect others to do the same.
