Wonder how many scrotes in balaclavas on stolen bikes arrested? Anyone has number which is bigger than 0?
We need more roads policing and harsher punishment for driving dangerously. Fuck all chance that’ll happen though!
I wonder how many of these are driving right after pints and how many are driving the next morning and there’s still some alcohol in your system.
More prison space needed. Without more prison space it’s light / suspended sentences all round.
And that’s what got caught
So does that mean 260 people lost their licenses for at least 3 months?
Yet how many deaths have their been? This strategy is not having any real impact in terms of improving safety, it’s just collecting money for next year.
We need a period of zero tolerance high enforcement on the roads. A targeted campaign in late school years.
A total shift in attitude and mindset towards road use is clearly required. Far too many people think low standards are acceptable, think drink driving is acceptable, speeding is acceptable.
We need enforcement, but we need to start much more loudly calling out things like phone use, casual speeding and light breaking.
This is a SOCIETY problem.
This sliding scale offence is a joke. Up here in the North you test over it is a licence loser and at least a years ban and retest
Sure, you’d have to be on something to think it was a good idea.
I’ll never understand people who do the thing when Gardaí announce they are out to catch people doing the thing.
I love the way people still say drugs OR alcohol….!
Wonder how many of these are poor fuckers who had a spliff 3 days before but are eagerly gobbled up for the stat padding
I don’t understand how people can drive under the influence in the first place. The only grey area I can think of is THC, even though you might not have smoked it in days, 100% coherent and sober, it’s still in your system
A drop in the bucket. The number who drove impaired during that period is several magnitudes higher.
Prison prison prison.
How stupid can people be.
That statistic is crazy high but if we want less of these drivers on the road we need proper bus services or taxi services in rural areas. I wonder what proportion of these were outside of a city area..
After a few pints, nothing feels better than the jingling keys in your pocket though. I can see why so many people do it.
Sit outside a country pub at closing time and guarantee yous catch a handful drink driving. The statistic would be far higher is the Gardai actually did something about it
I have been drinking quite well this festive period. I leave the driving till well past the afternoon before I drive the next day.
People should get the usual ban the first offence of drink driving. After that it should be 5 year ban. No excuse.
