I was driving somewhere recently and a bus was travelling at a very high speed as it went into the port tunnel, which was very dangerous. I was concerned for the passengers and everyone else so I rang the Garda to make a complaint. I was told that, because the journey was less than 60 km, the regulation did not apply. The tachograph would show the speed at which the bus was driving but members of the Garda could not look at that. If someone is travelling under a certain distance, he or she is not subject to tachograph rules.
