Going to work is great!

All the colleges and loads of schools are on holidays. Driving to work is fekn great. School holidays should be longer. I'm so happy I could be tempted to take tomorrow off and celebrate.

Is everybody else (who drives during rush hour) happy?

You like going to work so much that you might take a day off.

Yes, it will make driving the schoolbus tomorrow so much easier.:)

What schoolbus? That's the problem in Dublin. Feckers should be walking, cycling or on the bus. Far too many Hyundai Sante Fe's dropping off the dahlings.

I work nights, I have barely ran into traffic since I got my Motorbike... though when I do, it would suck, except I go right through them

Agree, it's brilliant. You can actually do a bit of driving in the morning and get in ahead of time, far far far too many kids getting dropped off to school through the normal school year it's headwrecking, there is a couple of schools along my route and the amount of them I see driving their big stupid wagans 100 feet down the road, then pulling in all over the place blocking up lanes etc....FFS walk!!...walk god damn it!

Yesterday this woman stopped her car to let her kid out opposite the school. She didn't indicate, and didn't pull over. She just stopped dead in the middle of the road with 3 cars behind her to let her feckin kid out. The STUPIDITY and sense of ENTITLEMENT of people on the school run is just mindblowing!! Each school should be forced to have someone outside policing the school run each morning, to protect the public from utter morons.

Less traffic alright, but more dozing idiots on the M50 this morning than usual.

At least she was in the car. I've witnessed the progeny being escorted to the school door and a quick chat whilst the abandoned vehicle is blocking the road with traffic backed up behind. It was ok though, the hazard lights were on.

Ah but they have to escort their little darlings all the way to the school gates. Paedos are less likely to try and attack an SUV full of kiddies.

That's an interesting thought. Maybe the media hysteria about peadophiles was designed to increase car sales. I'm actually being serious.

Ah well if the hazard lights were on what's the problem?I'm convinced conversations must go like this for a lot of new mothers and fathers to be these days...
