Comhrá - the general chat thread

[JaneJeffer]

Hi Craicnetters!

I was looking for the other thread and see it's fallen way down the list so I decided to make a new one for all our daily musings ☘️

Border areas for decades had little to no police presence during the Troubles which allowed people to drive badly without fear of being arrested. They were also able to cross the border when being chased by police and escape being caught because there was no cross border cooperation between Gardaí and RUC or between the two legal systems.

Both police presence and cross border agreements have improved the chances of being prosecuted for dangerous driving but so many people still drive like the law doesn’t exist or doesn’t apply to them. And it’s obviously become a generational thing passed down in the culture.

Will I start a new thread ?

.

Oh do please @Carriemac

Are we there yet?
