@NewstalkFM @lawlessj @TheHardShoulder It would also be totally possible nowadays for all cars to have built in mechanisms that prevent them exceeding all the different speed limits encountered.

‘So, we’ll stick a cycle lane in, but we’ll make it the smallest cycle lane imaginable, and then all of a sudden, boom, you’re back on the footway. Oh, and we should stick a giant planter right at the end of the tiny cycle lane, just for laughs.’ corkbeo.ie/news/local-new…

@joedamaggio @SafeCyclingEire @GardaTraffic @lawlessj Not that legislation + the emphasis on policing + poor driving, get to the root of it.
