Looks like seat lights to me but the photo is terrible with regards determining what car it is

Looks like a felted up Golf to me, hard to be sure though.

It's about 120 mph in old money. Any 2.0 diesel would be well capable of it.

My 01 Avensis d4d could do a sat nav verified 200kph. A more modern car would have more power surely.

I have spent the last 5 minutes trying to figure out what it was, and I thought I had it nailed down... and then I realised I was looking at the pickup truck

Toyotafanboi · 27-03-2020 4:37pm

Confident it's some kind of mk5 Golf, all we can be sure of is that it's not the 1.4 :pac:

Reports today of AGS performing stop'n'search on N11 and presumably other major roads, asking drivers to justify their journey

WTF?? a family in a car with the windows rolled up going for a scenic drive isn't interacting with anyone

I was going to go for a spin on my motorbike today, I buy petrol at the local Maxol "pay at pump", there would be no interaction with anyone, ironically unless a guard stopped me!

I think this is over the top. The vehicle is an extension of the home, provided nobody outside the family unit interacts with those within there is no issue.

For every family posing zero risk, there are 20 moron families. The idea of everyone staying at home means anyone not doing so stands out.

But then if everyone done it like they were there is more risk, breakdown, crashes, injuries that will over run the hospital and it's just best to lower all risks for now.....

People were driving to all the hot spots and going for walks, this way it's much easier to police....

Thank the stars it ain't like Italy or Spain.... Could still happen then you won't be outside you front door at all.

Quality contribution there.

How is a family in a closed car, or a lone motorcyclist, spreading anything?

they're not, but if we allow that as an excuse then whats the point, sure that might be whats said and in 10% of cases true, but the rest will be visiting relatives, going to go have an ice cream on howth pier or some other craic that they shouldnt be doing. I would be amazed if any family is actually taking a journey in which they at no point leave the car. You can't go anywhere with kids without stopping for a piss or food or something else they shouldnt be doing.

If one family in a car is allowed out, then all families who have a car are allowed out. The same with motorcyclists. Rendering the whole thing pointless.

Stay within 2kms of your home. That's the current recommendation. It leaves breakdown and emergency services response freed up for essential front line workers.

2km is for people exercising.

BronsonTB · 30-03-2020 9:28am

Hopefully the new 2,500 fine or 6 months in prison will be enforced for those that don't have a genuine reason for being out over the next 2 weeks. Should be a complete zero tolerance approach to this....(Esp as people are not listening or complying)

The health system is under enormous pressure & we should each be doing our bit to help.
(By staying at home you reduce your chance of accident & adding pressure to 999 services)

Some read that as ‘exercising their right to be a tool because they can’t manage without a drive even though they’ve nowhere to go and sure yeah I know what we’ve been asked to do but I’m doing no harm really’.

The country is on lockdown and only essential journeys permitted and being enforced by the AGS. The probability that you get stopped or or selected on their system is massive these days, yet some head off driving under the influence, driving while banned, drive without insurance or all of the above. Is it a special type of stupid that these were born with or just developed?

punisher5112 · 31-03-2020 10:26am

Amount of loonies driving around the city at speed and taking illegal turns is mad, Gaurds are around and have yet to see them pull anyone for bad driving.

Well I've seen it, then also seen the Garda vehicles at the junctions this has been done at.

Not saying they leave them all but any I've witnessed as the driving standards are quite poor.

Seeing lots racing around.

But has the guards witnessed what your talking about?

I doubt they're turning a blind eye to traffic offences.

How could they not see it if the vehicle does it right in front of them.... Of course some aren't watching, they're too busy on their phones....

I'd love to video or take pics bus as I'm driving a bus throughout the city I wouldn't get away with it...

I've seen cars take turns at no left or right turns in front of them, yesterday on my last run on O'Connell bridge a scenic turned onto Eden Quay from the far left lane through a red and the Gaurds continued on their turn onto D'olier st
