Lyrics
The new chaotic driving thing is here. The government's knee-jerk reaction was to enforce rigorous speeding restrictions. Good idea. In principle. But zero thought out. Big wide road and you can't exceed 50km per hour. The slowest driver in town could inadvertently slip over it.. by 0.05km per hr. Right! That's IT! YOU"RE DONE!! 4 penalty points! Sooooo ineffective. Catches all the wrong people. The smart feckers still shit all over the back roads drunk and at speed. They know where the stops are. It's so inane. There's an obvious speed camera coming into Dublin on the Galway road round Lucan. Everybody's doing a lick and suddenly... ......slow motion (strauss waltz) ... coming into Lucan... a saint every driver... tum-tee-tummm..... ...... GOOD... passed Lucan..... VROOOOOOOMMMMM again... Then there's the boys in blue out there on the pavement with you in their camera lens. If you're not with it you could be caught out but really.. ? Once I noticed a clever boy trying to conceal himself behind a lamppost. Uhhh so feckin stupid. I said feck rather than fuck because it's an Irishism I can get away with. But more about that another time.
NOW THIS IS SHEER CLASS..
(ClassA for stupidity / ClassZ for cleverness)
You have to laugh at the total inadequacy of the system. I do anyway. Provided I'm not caught out. Then I may shed a few tears ok. It's 4 penalty points for a speeding fine. Clock up 12 in a year and zoom yer off the road for a year boyo.
A young lady each morning drove into Dublin from Lucan. She was unaware of the new speed cameras erected. It's an 80kmph zone. She trundled down the sliproad to join the motorway as usual and momentarily hit 81-82. Tick tock the unassuming clock quietly counted away. Day after day as usual - into work. Tun-te-tum... now that's 4+4+4+4+4+4 ..and another 4 ..and so on. She had lost her license several times over and she never knew a thing. Months later in the post the first one arrived. Curses.. 4 penalty points.. Guess I'll need to slow down at that point. Oh well.. The next mornong another.. Oh shit... followed by another the following morning and finally the young lady was suicidal. Day after day.. one after another. She got the point ok... (as the poster says) plus lots and lots of points.
