DRIVERS WILL FACE higher penalties for speeding under a new law currently being drafted.
In an interview with TheJournal.ie, Minister for Transport Shane Ross said a tiered form of speeding offences will be introduced next year.
“The more you break the speed limit the more you’ll be punished – there will be higher penalty points, certainly.”
So today we’re asking, should drivers who exceed the speed limit by a greater margin face tougher penalties?

Walking around Fota recently, nearly all the animals are on the endangered species list. Our ancestors and us have really left a mark on the place. Soon enough a zoo will be filled with different types of dogs and house cats.
Wonder what it tasted like.
It’d probably be really nice barbequed.

“The decline of the population is probably due to climate change and human habitation nearby” = “we haven’t a bull’s notion why the population is in decline”

Two guys who are experts at this kind of thing spend thirty seven days looking to take a photo of one without success and then this other guy who discovered them happens to chance on one posing on a rock.
Come on folks.
Just how gullible are we?
My home is inundated with these creatures. Please help!
“Then, last summer, the man who originally discovered the species in ’83, Weidong Li, had a chance encounter with the elusive creature. He and a group of researchers were out in the Tianshan Mountains for, what else, pika spotting, when around noon they saw one and snapped the iconic picture above.”
It was hardly a chance encounter if that was the purpose of their visit, is it?
Still not convinced that one is for real. Check google images to see what you think.
It looks to me like several stuffed toys stitched together.
Wasn’t he in caddy shack
No wonder it stays low in China.
Pika-chu
