Just outside clarinbridge on the way into galway the traffic was held up and moving fairly slowly.
When the road widened it began to clear and this was what was causing the hold up!!

WTF!

Get the reg and report it to the Gardaí - they take a dim view of unsecured loads like that.

aujopimur · 10-01-2012 4:34pm

Those red xxs are bastards for holding up traffic.

For Forks Sake · 10-01-2012 4:36pm

WhatAMelon · 10-01-2012 4:39pm

ottostreet · 10-01-2012 4:39pm

He got his passenger to take it while leaning across obviously.

Was it you transporting metal sheets in a dangerous manner ?

Because i think metal sheets in the wind would cause a large amount of damage than taking a photo moving at crawls pace behind him.

traffic had slowed down to about 20mph so i took the opportunity to quickly snap it for ye guys!
Also oncoming traffic was a good distance away so i took the snap
i know it was wrong but i think it was worth it.

Nah, was just wondering. See, all the rest of them thought I was going to take a pop.

How fast was yer man with the scrap travelling and what sort of tailback did he cause?

Surely you mean when you slowed down it allowed your passanger to lean over to get a better angle and a less shakey picture yes? Nicely done sir.

Bloody lunatic. If you'd gotten the reg probably best course of action would be to inform the local station.

Very dangerous, should have rang the Gardai, thats very likely to cause an accident.

Tsk Tsk.

I recognise the tree in the top left corner anywhere, thats St Stephens Green.

In fairness, and all joking aside, that's an impressive amount of stuff to get into the boot of an Octavia....

Always one who feels the need to come onto boards and complain about something to make themselves feel better, without actually doing anything to fix the problem.

The same guy will probably be drawing a similarly dangerous load tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day...
