Traffic School in Clontarf

thelurch · 2008-11-03 16:23:55

Did you ever go to this on a day trip from school ? They had mini roads and traffic lights and they gave you either a bike or a pedal car and a member of the garda tought you road sense. I live in Marino and went for a walk there recently. Its all closed down, overgrown and vandalised...Shame ! Found this on youtube, love…

I was there once probably circa 1992/3. You could go on a biking (boring!), or in a go kart (thats more like it).

We went there. It was ace, some idiots in my class voted to use the bikes...those of us who voted cars won though. The pedal cars were rubbish though. :pac:

I was there in 1996. Apparently it's in a state of disrepair now. Pity really
