Reasonable is subject to the Garda in question,nor do they need any equipment.

The only good defense is that you damaged your exhaust on your trip.

this was taken from Construction Equipment Uses of Vehicles Act 1963

The traffic corp here have major issues with exhaust systems I had a brush with a lovely Garda last year started complaining about my exhaust being too loud even though its a Fujitsubo legalis hardly a screaming exhaust system to be fair its more like a standard exhaust I asked him had he a decibel meter and he gave me a producer and told me he didnt need one I havent received any summons yet so I think I am alright

thay are a pain in the hole here, i was brought to court years ago cause i had an "airplane exhaust" hanging out the back off my car.. fucking retards!!!! brought another mate to court but got away with it.. he had an sir civic, gave it the beans one day and passed out 2 pigs.. we spent a half an hour trying to convince them that it wasnt an exhaust note and they said it was cause it had a big exhaust out the back (it was a tail pipe) my mate ripped it off to show it to them but they wouldnt listen.. in court my mate had a garage note stating it was a legal exhaust and it was timed 10 mins after they stopped us and the fuckers said to the judge that we must of changed it in that space of time to get away with it.. complete fucking arsebandits, they are nothing but useless, uneducated shower of cunts down here..!!

one of my mates trew himself in the river a few years back (killed himself) and the next day we were all out looking for him and a gard appears from no where and pulls one of my friends for having a bald tire on the front of his car and we there looking for our mates body.. how fucking low can you get..!!

another story was a lad jumped in the river one nite and a bloke i know jumped into save him, he was a lifegaurd.. after pulling the man from the river the gards met him and said would you come to the station after you dry yourself off.. (he thought he was going to get rewarded or something) arrives at the station only to recieve 2 summons for court.. again, how fucking low can you get!!
