Main Event: Traffic Blues, RTE 1, 8pm

Tonight, officers in Naas are confronted by an angry food trader and a driver who fails a roadside breath test – nothing out of the ordinary there… Traffic Blues is a documentary following the daily work and woes of the Garda Traffic Corps in Dublin, Cork, Naas and Donegal. It’s a good look into the life of a cop on the job and after watching it you may have a lot more sympathy for the lark they have to put up with.
