    if we are to go by statistics and common sense, speed, especially
    in built up areas is the killer. a guy that speeds past a school gets points
    and a farmer who had a pint for lunch is disqualified? what about being
    tired whilst driving-isn't that like having a few pints or worse.

    Indeed it is. Fatigue is as lethal as drink while driving. If memory serves me correct, fatigue has you in a state roughly the same as to someone around the drink-drive limit.

    for sure speed is a contributing factor but not the totally the cause of road accidents there a lot of other contributing factors, the standard of driver training for one which is a joke in this country the money these vans cost would have been better spent addressing this issue.

    the thing about speed is it decreases your time left to react.
    if you're driving at 30 mph and something or someone emerges into the road
    you have lets say 4 seconds to react. a person doing 50mph, hopes to save
    the day in 2 seconds? good luck with that!

    Yep that's about it the faster you go the less time you get to react and the further it will take you to stop. That being said lack of observation or bad consecration are just as bad, and most people on the roads only look no further than the end of the bonnet and this combined with speed and a lack of observation is lethal.

    But seriously, no. Those radar jammers mess up handheld cameras and they will pull you over and take you to court for having one. Just watch your speed in the obvious places and you'll be fine.

    I have two and i won't be getting anymore...learned my lesson the hard way.The garda vans are a con.I have come across severalin the last cpl of months in areas where there have been no accidents whatsoever so for them to say that they are in accident blackspots is utter bollocks.
    I have lived a life of regrets.
