    Because most people have better things to be doing than "reporting" minor road traffic offences.

    Except for the few like yourself that are obsessive about it.

    I think more busybody and also garda attention needs to be given to the many cyclists that sail through red lights, quite dangerous for the cyclist themselves.

    a garda has to witness the crime to prosecute

    If that's the case, how do you suppose stores get people convicted for shoplifting?

    The individual Garda who prosecutes a case does not have to be a witness to the crime.

    What difference does it make to you whether I have better things to do or not?

    Is it not a good thing that dangerous drivers get addressed by the Gardai?

    You can divert all the Garda hours you want away from dealing with dangerous drivers to go chasing cyclists. That won't reduce the death toll on the reoad.

    When you see comments like McCrack's, it not worth looking for answers.
    You'd find better reason in the comments section of TheJournal.
