what is the point?
what is the point of making a law that the police break while they have to enforce it? It is now illegal to use a mobile phone while driving a car. If you are seen with a mobile phone held to your ear while driving you can get fined and/or penalty points on your driving licence. This being Ireland it will probably be both as you have to pay the Government to get rid of both and here the Gov’t wastes money like I have never seen! ANYHOW, my rant is this, as I have to drive across town twice a day to do the “school run”, I am in a lot of traffic and I see the Gardai with this traffic (doesn’t help that many live in the same estate as I do!) and all too often I see the Garda that is driving is TALKING ON THE PHONE WHILE DRIVING! And more often than not, it is a male Garda not a female so that stereo type is out the window. Even I use my headset to talk on the phone if I have to while driving!
