    Ahh now Ladiesman, why would you suggest something ridiculous like that!!!

    But I'm with Rodders here- its when the speed limit drops for no reason or when it's inappropriately low - that I find myself breaking it inadvertantly.

    I once got stopped by a garda for doing 50mph in a 30 mph zone while driving through Carlow. It was early on a Sunday morning on an arrow straight road, and there wasn't a soul in sight! Got a ticket and fine , but thankfully this was before penalty points had come in.

    You questioning my sanity Morph? Just because invisible leprechauns tell me to burn things doesn't make me crazy! lol. Actually hold that thought...

    Leprechaun: "You will go to the head of the RSA and get him to change stupid speed limits..."
    Me: "Why can't I just burn him???"
    Leprechaun: "We leprechauns are peaceful creatures, violence is abhorrent to us."
    Me: "Well then why tell me to burn people???"
    Leprecchain: "It is you who tells you to burns people ¬_¬"
    ..........
    Me: *burns leprechaun*

    any time i seen vans lights were on inside and u could see in, this van was black dark and there was no flash.
    Am i safe??
    I've passed speed cameras in 50 zones at 60-65 and never got a ticket, I spoke to a Guard about this and he said most of them set the limit to about 67 in a 50 zone to give people a fighting chance and only to catch the people really breaking the limit by a good bit.

    I got caught last month after leaving the motorway and coming into limerick in Cratloe near Bunratty. Saw a little flash. Thought nothing of it till a letter arrived in the post. 2 points on my license.

    Is there a website that shows all the locations of camera traps?
