Tips for going out on a non-essential spin on your bike during a lockdown...

1. Don't.

2. Don't go in a pair or group.

3. Have fucking insurance and tax.


Fucking morons.

You could've left this at point 1...it's not rocket science, there are so many thick fuckwits in this country!

So, technically, they were seized for no tax or insurance, not going out during lockdown.

They should have got a public flogging for riding during lockdown, the little rascals.

Fake headline. The fact that they were on a non-essential journey has nothing to do with the vehicles being seized. It was because they had no tax/insurance.

No fake headline:

"Gardaí seize two motorcycles after the drivers were on non-essential journeys during lockdown."

It says after, not for or because of...


Text within the article does say "Two motorcycles were seized for no tax and no insurance."


Semantics, but accuracy matters...

Nah....the headline is obviously trying to infer a connection, when none exists. The use of the word ‘after’ is sharp practice, at best.
It’s common practice for lazy journo’s.
If the headline was “Two hundred People die after army tests new explosive”...what would you think?

Just like they’re saying xxx thousands of people died with the virus, rather than the 14 people that died OF it.

Bloody media sensationalism.
