Standard of driving on M1 is getting worse ..... anyone else notice it?

Up util March of this year, I always travelled northbound on the M1 in the morning and sountbound in the evening on the way home. So I was protected from the general idiocy of Irish motoring.

However, from March until now, I have been driving southbound in the morning and take the sliproad for the R139 coming off the M1.

I start work at 8 am. Up until a few weeks ago, traffic flew along and everything went smoothly.

Examples of tomfoolery I notice lately are:

• Joining the slip at 60 km/h
• Straight into the middle lane or overtaking lane and sitting there dawdling along.
• Getting in lane too early for R139 slip or for the Northbound M1 where the inside lane becomes the Donabate slip (this is terrible driving).
• Driving in the outside lane until the reach the M50 slip and fly across three lanes to get to it

The aforementioned shennanigans are apparent at all parts of the motorway but tend to become more pronounced when approaching the airport sliproad and remain until I leave for the R139.

It's only lately I've noticed it, and school children being brounght to school can't be to blame, because they don't start until 9AM.

If mod wants to slip this into the M50 megathrad feel free.
