    As someone who is in Cork a fair bit (and does the M50 every weekday), I have to agree that the driving standards down south are far worse.

    Yep, the outside lane blocking is notorious down here...
    What is worse majority don't even realize they do any bad... :(

    • On arriving first at a red light, check for a painted box with a symbol after the stop line. Although it has the form of bicycle, it is the sign of the devil and you should drive forward and cover it completely to avoid looking at it. If afraid to stay there, you may drive farther and block the junction for turning buses (which ae driven by the devil). Under no circumstances wait on top of the faint grid of tar lines - this is said to contain a traffic sensor, but is in fact a trapdoor to hell
    • when taking third or greater exit on multi lane roundabout - ensure to use left hand outside lane at all times.. ignore indication and resist all temptations to look at other traffic... the right hand is the hand of the divil and other road users are the incarnation of lowly beelzebub himself.. Proceed PROCEED for the divil is all around you.. and never ever look back

    Just last weekend I exited the tunnel approaching Mahon to find a rolling roadblock in front of me and cars swerving all over the place.. why? Some dopey young one doing about 60 km/h in the outside lane
    The weekend before that I was coming off at the city exit and looping under the mainline only to have some youngfella with an L plate cut across me from the left lane.
    The Douglas exit always reminds me of the M50-N7S one.. piss-poor design but the muppetry is more pronounced.
    No-one bloody indicates either and it's infuriating, whether it's on the main roads or roundabouts.

    Say what you will about the M50 but the Cork equivalent is far worse in my experience. The only issues I generally encounter on the M50 are volume related or the occasional tailgating asshat - but those can be dealt with too if you need to.
    Agree,standards in Cork are deplorable, obviously drivers instructors pretty bad also,I mean ,bad teacher/bad pupil
