Breath test the driver
@Ronan Gallagher: you’ll find he or she was
@Ronan Gallagher: breath test the pedestrian as well
@B9xiRspG: yes, and if he’s over the limit give him a three month walk ban.
@B9xiRspG: is it not common to breath test drivers after an accident?
@Ronan Gallagher: its mandatory
Did the garda car mount the path? I wouldn’t think so. Just another drunken pedestrian wandering onto a busy road expecting the driver to stop.
@Denis Riordan: So, you were there were ye??
He was probably handcuffed in the back of the Garda car.
@Pearse Mc Mullen: No but from experience driving a taxi I would say I’m 99.9% right
@Pearse Mc Mullen: No but from my experience driving a taxi in this fair city of mine I would say I’m 99.9% right
Wonder was the Garda Car traveling with Sirens & Lights on
@Mark Walsh: that usually happens when the lads encounter a red light. Lights come on, they Hop the traffic lights and then off again when they’re through. Blatant abuse of power and privelidge!
@Padraic: for what purpose?
I can see a j walking summons swooshing through the post! Registered, just to be sure!
Lots of the usual here today but strangely silent during the comments about the Garda and his family that’s being threatened and attacked.
Was the Garda car driving itself?
Another innocent man mowed down.
Smart ass.
@Pat Morgan: Thank you, I do work out.
have your say
