I’ve just been robbed

By the Gardai…

I really really resent being given my first 2 points for driving 71 km/h on a dual carriageway in Waterford that has been given a 60 km/h “special” speed limit.  To be honest, I have no recollection of exceeding the speed limit on this road but I must have done it at some stage.  In my drive home at 60km/h today, I was actually beeped by 2 cars for driving so slowly. I would say the average speed on the road is closer to 80 km/h yet the bullshit pretense continues. I’d argue this in court but we have a thoroughly anti-democratic system in place, borrowed from our UK neighbors, that increases the number of points you receive if you attempt to defend your rights in court and fail. So if I defend myself I run the risk of doubling the points (or if the judge was really pissed off losing my license) for driving at 71 km/h on a FRIGGIN DUAL CARRIAGEWAY.
