    Is it not 'bad luck' to drive in the first lane on the N7?

    you only save 20 mins. So speeding up the dangerous N7 is completely futile.

    Go to bed 10 mins later and wake up 10 mins earlier? Eat Cerial Quicker? It all adds up padiwan. Which is more dangerous? What do you think? How long would it take you to clean up the mess?

    They should be sent on a driving course in LA, totally legal to undertake and if you're not doing 70-80mph you're a deadman :D.

    Also way less aggression on the roads, way less beeping and people always let you into a lane providing you match their speed.

    This road drives me nuts as well. I would prefer to sit in the leftmost lane doing 100k. However, this is not possible, everytime I try to do that, I always have to change out of the lane after less than a minute in it, either because of slow vehicle in that lane (fair enough), or because the traffic in the middle lane has slowed to 80k or less, or because some f_cker coming out of an entrance decides they have the right of way over traffic bearing down on them in the left hand lane. This last reason is the big flaw with this road, all the IMO sub standard entrances to it from petrol stations, pub carparks, minor roads, and even now gateways from front gardens of houses.

    I don't use the road as much as most of the previous posters but I think the overhead signage doesn't help as anyone new on the road may get the impression that being in the left (first) lane is for turning/slipping off at the next junction. Also as has been mentioned, there is a petrol station on the left as you head for Dublin and drivers exiting from there just seem to head into the laft lane without any build up of speed.
