    I know ye all know this but be very careful on the roads tonight. I had to make a unexpected journey just now and there is floods and debris all over the roads...

    I was quite impressed with my Vredstreins in the wet though..:)

    Just to add to Corkie's post, take caution as it's very windy, well in my case anyway the car was being rocked badly on exposed sections of the dual carriageway. Give extra room and take care if driving high sided vehicles, vans etc .

    I was making a short trip only on the N road for about 2 miles and the car was being rocked. I remember being surprised at how much I was being thrown around. I only got up to about 85 as the headwind was so great.

    I had them fitted last week, I haven’t had them out in the real wet yet but they are supposed to be quite good. Well they are already better in the dry than the infinity they replaced (they came with the car not my choice).

    Stay safe out there people.

    My lights decided to quit on me when I was making a 60 mile trip to college. Didn't meat any cars so was able to drive on my fulls until they came back. Not the best night for that to happen.

    I had my wiper linkages go on me last year during the same sort of weather, with about 100km to go... that was fun

    I did Cork-Dublin-Carlow this evening. The winds picked up quite a bit. Drop the speed and when there's a lot of spray use the appropriate lights. It was almost impossible to see other cars at times.

    I drove from Baldoyle through to town tonight along the coast road with the waves breaking over the wall and onto the windscreen, didn't make for very comfortable driving. Some of the roads looked like glass they were so wet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,902 ✭✭✭✭mfceiling


    Going into Portlaoise today and came across a jeep on her side.
    Didn't stop as 4 other cars had...loads of Garda and fire brigade there on the way back.

    Strong crosswinds down here at the moment. Was on the M7 just past Nenagh earlier and there was a Fiesta ahead of me and the driver was struggling to keep it straight due to the strong crosswinds.

    Visibility was pretty poor in the heavy rain and lots of surface water on the motorway. Still saw muppets barrelling down the outside lane as if it was a clear day.

    yea - same here, I am hoping the lad pulled over with the hazzards on was keeping an eye out for him at the junction, otherwise this idiot deserves jail.

    No wonder your man in the following car had a cracked windscreen if thats the kind of craic these pair of muppets are up to.

    Absolutely no intelligence involved, hope he hops the arse end of that levin off something if only to keep the car off the road for a few weeks.

    Dicks.

    The missus did rathmines to navan and back this evening, said it was an absolute nightmare, especially the m50. Poor visibility and high cross winds weren't the main problem though, it was people doing between 50 and 60 in the middle lane and 100-120 in the overtaking lane, impossible to overtake safely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 738 ✭✭✭focus_mad


    Serious crosswinds on the M1 up to Balbriggan this evening...Even in the 5er the car was catching!

    Hi Pudzey, I see your very angry about this...

    what you have to understand , is that we try our best to Promote safe driving.. but in this case its a very quite area with no Other traffic as seen in the video! there has to be lee way in all of this? is this guy putting your life at risk in tipperary?? no he's not! this is a very quite area with no other cars.. as you can see this guy has skill there behind the wheel! if this was on the main motorway systems or main roads it would be a different situation! and or if there was serious cross winds


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8 Moe Barry Lester


    pudzey you seem very jealous of these athletes skills?
    why would one rant other than jealousy?

    theres no need for Vulgur Language or the likes...

    Once again Mr Pudzey Please you dont have to be so Angry about the Situation.. You have to look at the Positives about this! once again i can not say enough how that video is of a guy Staying away from the Public and busy Motorways and Main Roads


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17 RSAIRELAND


    you have to give these guys some Slack.....

    i want to ask you a Question

    would you rather this guy to be using his serious talent on your local Dual Carraigeway? or a Very Quite Road?

    I think i know what you would pick
