    There's a classic post somewhere here from about three months ago from a girl who said she was annoyed that everyone kept 'flashing' her when she was using the 'fast lane' on the M50.

    After the intial 30 flames in response, she admitted she was on a provisional licence. Chaos ensued and a mod had to close the thread down.

    Worst of all are the kids who mod their 'cars'. I was driving down the NCR last week and I saw, wait for it, a modded 10 year old Fiat Punto - tinted windows, spoiler, alloys, big exhaust, the lot. We were stopped in traffic and I felt like getting out of my car and just standing and pointing and laughing at the said vehicle.

    Its a fish out of water scenario. Rural drivers are bad in towns, town drivers bad in the city and city driver bad in the country.

    Worst county? Kilkenny, without doubt, north to south, east to west.
    Worst town? Gorey could run a close second to any Kilkenny town - automotive Brownian Motion.

    Dublin :(

    I'm just back from summer-hols in Portugal, and we had rented a car for the whole time there (diesel Megane - nice engine, horrible car). Even with locals, other tourists, my deciphering road-signs and driving on the right, I found the driving all very unstressed. No problems on motorways particularly - people let you merge, etc. When you want to overtake, they move over to the hard shoulder, etc etc.

    We flew back to Belfast and spent some time there (my home town) and again all very unstressful.

    Yesterday, we loaded up the car and made the trip from Belfast to Dublin. All fine until we hit the motorway after Swords or so - people merging onto the motorway went straight to lane-2 and stayed there; the tailgating began in earnest. Trying to merge off the motorway (lane-1) onto the sliproad to take us to the M50... people were crossing the hatching from way back and wouldn't let us in; jerks (in SUVs particlarly) were coming up lane-2 and swinging all the way onto the slip road, nearly taking our front bumper with them. And it went like that all the way to Clonee... not to mention the people breaking red-traffic-lights...

    Yeah, I know there's another thread about this, but it was *so* obvious to see it so blatently when coming in from "abroad". Things must be bad when we make the "Europeans" look like good drivers :rolleyes:
