Seanad debates

Thursday, 10 April 2003

As another example, I drive regularly from Cork to Dublin and when the new speeding regime was introduced, something I support fully, I assumed I would be slowed down by all the trucks that would not be able to drive above 50mph miles an hour, which is their speed limit. However, I have no problem because they all drive at 60mph. No one enforces the law against huge juggernauts travelling at between 60 and 65mph on roads that are probably not suitable for such vehicles and most assuredly are not for them travelling at 65mph. It is an issue in this country that we are very good at putting laws on the Statute Book and very poor at enforcement. I would like us to discuss this issue about why we are so poor at enforcing laws.
