Left hand drive cars on irish plates

Little Miss Cutie

Hi all

Does anyone else think that cars which are left hand drive and have irish plates should have a sticker (or something similar) on the back to warn you?

I have noticed more and more cars like this and in my experience they take turns by swiinging out in to the other lanem and are more likely to cut infornt of you on dual carriage ways/ motorways. I think if at least they had a sticker like some trucks do at least it would give you fair warning.

And yes before anyone says it I am a woman drive and no I don't think cars need warning stickers for women drives

Am I the only one who has had this experience?

Ridiculous. Why should they warn you? When driving you should be aware of all the hazards, and maintaining a safe distance from other roadusers. It's called a braking distance, remember that?

No,

I drive a RHD on LHD roads and it makes very little difference, just in Car parks, Mc Donalds drive through and toll roads.

If your not looking where your going your just a knob.

the same could be said of learner drivers - why have a big L on the front and back of the car to let everyone know they are a learner

You have to have a good aim when throwing money into the tollgate bucket

You should have beam benders fitted too as your lights are pointing the wrong way.

If we start doing this can we get descriptive stickers for ALL drivers put on the back? Gender, licence status, # of penalty points, etc... would make deciding whether to overtake a lot safer
