Slightly off topic but have seen quite a few of those motor home and smart car combos around the ring of Kerry I think there is a company you can rent the combo from.

Me getting pulled over by Garda cos I passed them out in the fast lane of n8 few weeks back doing between 90-100, they were in left lane doing 70 ish and the cheeky bugg***s blue lighted me pulled me over and told me I shouldnt pass out an emergency vehicle??? He was driving while on the phone and his mate was eating crisps or something or other- hardly an emergency I thought and I didnt break the law from where I was sitting..

Also seen a guy (in England years ago) driving down a main motorway in middle lane with a 2-3 year old kid on his lap!!!Felt like trying to pull him over and GIVE him my ( at the time unused) car seat!!

i'm in outside lane driving along and passing a lorry. half way through passing it, hit massive spray and i'm blinded. it was like the road just got waterlogged along that stretch.. hardly my fault.
my gut reaction was that it's easier to drive in a straight line and get passed the lorry than to brake at 70mph in the outside lane.

i can't believe i even wasted my time explaining this to you after ya called me a dumb spanner.

I saw 7 Delorean's in Carrick on Shannon once. Must have been a club meet.

I was on the Kinsale rd roundabout in Cork once before the flyover was built when the lanes would cross over each other. Hard enough to drive around it the right way and avoid a collision but came upon a woman driving the wrong way around the roundabout! Instead of stopping and turning around, she kept going but covered her mouth with her hand in a kind of shocked gesture. Bizarre stuff :rolleyes:

I don't think its that rare! We usually are in the left lane when we are undertaking you as you dawdle in the overtaking lane!!!!

Couple of weeks back, coming home from Rathcoole at about 1 in the morning we were heading down the slip way on to the M50 from the red cow, some one who had too many drinks decided they were gonna walk home!:eek:

HashSlinging

A SL500 stopped in the driving lane of the M50/N11 merge with the driver arguing with the driver behind.

Traffic was at full tilt about 6pm and was moving along ! he had been driving all over the place and undertook this guy who flashed him (:rolleyes:) this guy in the merc slams on and stops... says his piece and flys off, nearly causing a pile up on the N11. I was driving a bit behind and seen the whole thing.

Zing And for the record I drive a bike, as such I'm rarely overtaken (or undertaken:p) on the motorway.

Wierdest thing I saw on a motorway was a fully grown man standing at the verge of the motorway taking a slash, fair enough, but this guy had his jeans and his pants round his ankles! wtf!!

I have also seen this, twice by the same individual, well it was a BMW 6 series that was parked on the road and this guy stands on top of the ditch and exposes himself to anyone who passed by........:eek::eek:

Was on holiday down in the fair county of Kerry a couple of years back. Driving along minding my own business coming up to a hill which turned to the left when one of those Volvo earth movers came barrelling around and lost it ! Up on to to wheels and then proceeds to fishtail down the hill coming at me. Needless to say a change of underpants was required by both myself and the wife. He caught it in the end and brought it to a stop. Young fella driving, looked kinda green when he climbed out of the cab ! Lesson learnt i hope . :eek::eek:
