"Piff and his colleagues found that upper-class drivers were more likely to cut other cars off at junctions and ignore pedestrians at crossings. Wealthier people also appeared more willing to lie at work. In one experiment, volunteers were left alone with a jar of sweets ostensibly meant for children. When the researchers returned, upper-class people had snaffled nearly twice as many candies as lower-class people."

CW: Road safety/speeding
A question I submitted to this week's Joint Policing Committee regarding speeding in the county (DMR East Garda District ~ Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown).
The reply shows that just over half of all speeding fines issued by Gardai are on 50kph roads.
Overall, 4,000 speeding fines are 4,000 too many.
