    You'd be surprised how many people can't find this whole island on a map of the world, the name of a football team has nothing to do with that reality

    I don't even mind if they can't find us on a map. I'd just prefer that when they are made aware of us, they're made aware of the correct name.

    Nothing to do with the name of a football team is it though
    And when people ask about Ireland I'm pretty sure there are many people who will bore the arse off them so much they begin to wish they'd never found it on the map in the first place

    It is relevant when most people think that is the name of our country because of the team!

    Was planning on selling my car send buying a newer one. On the way to test drive so car today a little old lady ran into me on the round about.
    She is adamant that she wasn't at fault, I know for sure fact she is so now I'll probably have to deal with the hassle of insurance companies for a couple of weeks :angry:

    Yeah took loads of photos of my car and hers.

    No she hit me on the drivers door, she was in the lane for the next exit but turned in to my exit. It's a bit of a dodgy round about so I was actually keeping an eye out for someone in the wrong lane and beeped at her before she hit me hoping she'd stop, but no such luck

    Oooohhh dodgy to say the least.

    If she claims you pulled out when she was taking the exit..... Always give way to traffic an the right and all that....

    She was in the wrong lane and drove into me when I had already begun to exit the roundabout.
    It was a single lane exit at 12 o'clock we both pulled off the roundabout at the same time, me in the left, correct, lane and her in the right, incorrect, lane.

    The understanding of how to use a roundabout in this country is appalling. Almost every day I see someone completely misuse their indicators on a roundabout. About once a week I see someone indicate left to turn onto a roundabout, the indicate when on the roundabout and then indicate left when they're exiting. It's not unusual to see someone do that when going straight on from the right hand lane either.

    It should be a compulsory element of a driving test if a roundabout is available.

    Not if she came from an exit over 180 degrees to the one taken, and especially if she indicated to take the exit after the previous one.

    Make sure you have the gardai on your side on this one ! No loose ends as to how she traveled and indicated....

    Was this in Galway, and if so, which roundabout?

    That's about once every 5 minutes in Galway!

    We both came from the same exit, at the same time(different lanes), which was exactly 180 degrees from the exit we both took

    We never called the guards to the scene, can I go down to them and tell them what happened and find out who was in the right/wrong?

    If you were going from bohermore to the tuam Rd and she hit you. You were in the right

    I'm assuming that you were in the inside lane the whole time

    Definitely go and report it anyway !

    Her insurers could challenge it and if there's a garde report, it's better to be in your words first.

    I went to them earlier and they told me I don't need to file a report unless the insurance companies ask for one
