In ireland if your caught doin over 160kmh(100mph) its an automatic ban. I was out with the girlfriend tonight, in my ctr which has been off the road the last 3 n a half weeks due to the clutch hangin together. well i came onto this road n the limit is 100kmh, the naas road for those of u know it from tallaght. i started motorin away, ended up doin 190 kmh, after a minute or two i stopped so see a car flyin up behind me which happened to be the police. ah F**k is what i thought, maybe it was for some one else but it wasn't, pulled in to be shown a speed gun wit me doin 130 kmh. then he tells me he had to 130mph just to catch up wit me, yes 130 MPH. he then goes on to say i'm a lunatic n he had to do it for at least 2 mins to catch up wit me so he knew well what speed i was doin. then he brings my attention to me not having road tax which your car can be takin off you for.. I ended up with a 120 fine n 2 penalty points!!! its better than a ban...
