If You Could Bring In One Motoring Law...

I Was VB

....What would it be??

I'd bring in a law that said that only private cars are banned from road between the hours of 9pm and 6am.

Feckin' private cars on MY roads when i'm working gettin in my way!!

challengemaster

Trucks only allowed on the roads between 12am and 8am

FearDark

Undertaking. Anytime. Anywhere.

L1011

Issue anyone who can pass a test in lane discipline with a shotgun and 400 cartridges they're expected to use per month in removing those that can't keep left from the roads...

jhegarty

Pass a law making Gay take a driving test.

daveharnett

People who don't indicate on roundabouts could legally be hunted during the summer months.

Or (slightly) more realistically, ring fence the multitude of car taxes for public transport, roads, driver education, and enforcement.

Actually the first one is more likely.

evolutionqy7

flat out speed on the motorway

agree with the round abouts try going to roscommon no one know how to indicate or how to drive on one if your on the 2nd lane god ****ing help ya drivers on your left will go straight towards ya instead of taking the swerve around the curve...

skelliser

immediate confiscation of cars with broken headlights!!

the bulbs are only ~5 euros and it takes 2 minutes to replace ffs!!!

Eric Cartman

Having to re-take your driving test every time it expires (10 years).

Euro_Kraut

150kph limit on the motorways during the summer months. 120kmp for winter.

Lights on all the time.

30 kph limit in all urban centers.

Had to do a double take on that sentence.. !



I'd make people over 65 have to re-sit a fairly straight-forward (10-15 mins) theory test (rules of the road, eye-sight, hearing etc) every 2 years and if they don't get a mark of, let's say, 70%, they've got to resit their driving test.

This wouldn't be too inconvenient at all considering most would be retired at that stage. For those 65+ that find it too inconvenient, we're more than happy that they give up their driving license entirely.
The remainder who want to continue driving and are over 65 may need to skip a game of bingo in order to pop down to the driving test centre, however.

Might even warrant introducing it for the infamous 17-22 year old age group as well. Like a little bit of a refresher course that might serve to knock them down a peg or two if they've gotten too cocky since they passed their test.
I know a lot of people can be great on the day of the driving test but everything they've learned goes out the window as they're driving home.

I'm guessing you don't get much, right?

(Well ... apart from driving yourself, ofc )

I would make it compulsary for any professional driver i.e. truck, bus, van, rep mobile or taxi , to have a hands free phone kit fitted and working. This should form part of the NCT for that vehicle. How many times have you seen drivers of 40ft artics or white-van-man driving with one hand and using the other hand to hold a phone while they conduct their business at the same time. Yes, I know that others use phones while driving, but these people are in these vehicles all day and often do business while on the move. It would be a simple thing for them to have a kit fitted and it could save lives.

STForSale

I'd settle for the existing one's being enforced.
HGV's overtaking on the M4 everyday.
Took 5Km for a HGV to overtake two slower one's yesterday :mad:
Hand me that their 12 gauge cletus.

On merge lanes, or at non light controlled junctions drivers must let every second car merge.
ie: speeding up for the sole intention of preventing someone merge becomes illegal. People found in breech of this are lashed for being ignorant prats.

It's time for people to have some common civility while driving! Why do we all have to become thundering cunts when we get behind the wheel!!

All vehicles over 10 years old removed from the road as done in Singapore. Doesn't matter if its a Fiesta or a Ferrari.

justo

drivers skiddling up a lane which they know ends just up ahead, only to push out again in front. Way-hay!! I just past 4 cars!!

(see the approach to the Yacht on Clontarf Rd. Dublin. All the blow-ins think there are two lanes there).

the point of that being (other than enforcing hardship on a large proportion of the population, forcing them to replace perfectly good cars)

EPM

Taxi's:

1) stopping in the middle of the road to pick up/drop off passengers and then getting in a huff when people get impatient while they're looking for change.

2) Doing above with no indication whatsoever.

3) forcing their way out of ranks like it's their God given right to have right of way despite a steady flow of traffic alongside

I'd say a weeks suspension of licence for any of this.

Not all taxi drivers act the maggot in this but there is a very high number relative to private cars imo

Col200sx

People that enter a roundabout in the left lane, only to take the 3rd exit, or even worse, the 4th exit.

Each one of them should be beaten with a bat in public for everyone to see. I hate that ****:mad:

Yes,cause we all know that once a car hits the 100,000 mile mark or 10 years of age it is nothing but a pile of ****

Seriously, do a search on carzone for 1999/2000 cars and look at how many perfectly good cars would be off the road.

I don't know if it would be a law, but at the very least, the theory test should be studied and sat in Transition year in school. I'd also make it a lot easier for young fellas to drive the arses out of their car in a controlled environment.

I have the best NEW LAW OF ALL TIME !!!

Make up a lottery system whereby one registered full license driver who registers wins a prize for each county of Ireland EVERY DAY

The Prize is to work as a Traffic Corps officer with FULL POWERS for 24 hours.

1 Member of the public wins this prize each day and gets allocated a day

Another law would be put in place to make sure employers give the employee the day off work rather like jury duty

You do not have to follow the rules of the Sergeant on Duty. You basically pick your roundabout, M50 or whatever place people truly p*ss you off each day and catch all those fvckers you see every day and THROW THE FVCKING BOOK AT THEM

Cuddlesworth

I would like enforcement of existing rules and proper retesting of all current drivers starting from the longest held licenses. I know way too many 50+ people who understand little about good driving and plenty who I wouldn't trust with a shopping trolley let alone a a car.

I declare troll!

There should be a minimum speed limit on main roads.

Horseboxes should be banned during commuting hours.
