The ineptitude is cause for concern
A focus on the wrong thing
If only @garda.ie would do enforcement
Not much evidence of the 30mins/duty
But plenty of evidence that DMR don’t investigate Traffic Watch reports and actively & aggressively put in barriers to anyone who reports crime

As a driver you are one of the most dangerous road users and it is important to be aware of the responsibility you have for the safety of all road users including the most vulnerable - pedestrians. Take this responsibility seriously and drive safely at all times. @garda.ie

Vulnerable road users are not difficult to see if you’re a competent driver - driving to the conditions and when driving to test standard
Is it that focusing on supposed ‘visibility challenges’ is focusing on the wrong challenge?

I can’t say a change in logo on social media has resulted in me observing more roads policing by @garda.ie or an improvement in road safety
Not convinced the 30mins/duty is still being done despite Commissioner’s insistence

Yet another appeal for journey cam footage
Still no response from @garda.ie on the policy on journey cam footage widely deployed by members in DMR
Also, when will they stop with ‘…involved a cyclist and a car’ & do ‘…and a driver’?

🧵@garda.ie Commisioner’s monthly report states his members are still doing the 30min/duty traffic policing. There is little evidence of this or that we’re seeing an impact. Why are we so slow to embrace technology to dramatically improve road safety? We celebrate a solitary camera, while Venice…🧵
