Diesel Dippers

[Feckitt]

Is the fine still only £500?  Sure that is no deterrent at all.  I would have £500 saved in no time if I was on the red

[tyrone girl]

Was £500 when i was caught but that was few years ago now

[WeeDonns]

Just out of interest Tyrone Girl, what was the process?
Where were you caught, did they take the car or just give you a fine etc?

Have you made the £500 back yet?

For those on Facebook there's a page called Northern Ireland Traffic Watch, it's very good for letting you know where accidents and trtaffic jams are, but also for telling you where the Dippers are and where speed cameras have been set up. Morally not right but morals don't come into it when you've bills to pay

The idiot running those pages has been banned from driving for life. He is before the courts on a regular basis. I think the Gardai get as much info from these pages as the people using them to avoid checkpoints.

It's still up and running, seems to have several different mods who post up what others send them. I use it from time to time to check traffic jams etc, its actually not too bad

Have heard that there's a large squad of them staying in Coalisland. All you rasberryade drivers in the west beware.

[Gaffer]

There is no way they would be made welcome in the 'Island

Now that's what you call changed times - in Coalisland of all places where not one parking ticket was given out in the history of traffic wardens.

[Gaffer]

Have never seen a traffic warden in the Island.

TV Licence men were another extinct group around the town.

[tyrone girl]

They were dipping at the roundabout in clonoe the other day for a good while so they might not be far away!

[Gaffer]

Seen the day when they wouldn't have dared shown their dippers in Clonoe.

Times have changed.

Good god they ll be in Meenagh Park next !!!!

Earlier in the thread it was mentioned that it was illegal to use green or red diesel in the territory of the UK, but the diesel dippers only check for illegal usage of the red.
Is that so, that they don't check for green in the North?
