I had an amusing incident recently coming out of Dublin Airport, on the link road up to the M1 junction/RB the Gards where sitting at the top near the RB in the far right hand lane (its three or four lanes there and I was in the left hand one to head onto the M1 for Belfast).
I dunno what the speed limit is there? Its maybe 50/60kph and I was doing more than that. I didnt see the Gards at the top doing a speed check.
As I approached the lights at the top of that road just before joining the M1 to Belfast this female Garda starts gesticulating wildly and pointing at me to stop. Bare in mind she is in the far right hand lane and I am in the far left hand lane just about to join the M1. The lights were green onto the M1 and there were cars behind me so I reckoned it wasnt a safe place to stop so I looked at her and lifted my up turned hands in the air, shrugged my shoulders and drove on lol.
I reckoned if they wanted me that bad they would come after me, but they didnt bother. They probably thought it wasnt worth chasing a Northern car and thats kinda why i took the calculated risk of not stopping lol.
Has anyone been caught down South for speeding and what was the outcome?
I know they cant put points on a Northern Ireland/Uk licence because they cannot agree how to do it lol.
