In Ireland you can become a Fine Gael Councillor, ask Gardai (police) to "sort" your speeding ticket and request that the speed van locations are reviewed by the Government.

This is the kind of thing that has been going on for decades.

And you only need to read about the Maurice McCabe etc. case to understand how dangerous it is for a Garda to whistleblow.

On Ireland we are great at making laws but not enforcement. "The online Traffic Watch system has received 4,885 reports of dangerous driving in the first nine months of operation, but just 60 Fixed Charge Notices have been issued to drivers so far. "

Schwalbe Marathon Plus puncture resistant tyres for your daily commuter (or similar from another brand if you have a preference). PITA to fit but perform really well.
Maybe Slime filled tubes too, although I'm not completely convinced about those.

Catherine Connolly climbed Knocknarea mountain in Sligo and didn't bring a stone up with her.

It was almost certainly an electric motorbike which already require tax and insurance. Not an e-bike. @news.rte.ie need to improve their reporting accuracy.
A motorcyclist who will drive at and injure a Garda is unlikely to care about little details like tax and insurance.

Definitely need more automatic cameras for speeding and at traffic lights along with enforcement of illegal numberplates. Automatic geolocation/GPS speed limiters on motorised vehicles should be rolled out too, without the easy bypass features. The focus should be on reducing speed.
