Speed detection operators learned how to play instruments during monitoring sessions

During a two-hour monitoring session Go Safe employees are required to remain in the vans to maintain a chain of evidence for speeding prosecutions in courts, the WRC heard.

The operators of Go Safe speed detection vans have used their time in the vans during speed monitoring sessions to learn musical instruments and to study for diplomas and degrees.

That is according to counsel for Go Safe, Kevin Bell BL who has told a Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) hearing in Ennis that Go Safe staff are not required to look at the speed camera at all times.
