What’s your most controversial opinion? **Read OP** **Mod Note in Post #3372**

So you are still ignoring all the crimes and prepared to act like a lemming regardless. Ok.

I thought this thread was supposed to be light-hearted and fun, at least for the most part, so can we please keep the Israel and Russia crap to their own threads. Sorry, I don't want to seem like I'm back seat modding.

As for my opinion. As we move towards replacing our current stock of cars with electric ones. We should seriously consider the possibility of switching sides of the road so that we drive on the right, like the rest of Europe. This would have two major advantages. Firstly, it would possibly make purchasing new cars slightly cheaper as the manufacturers won't have to modify them for our market and secondly, it would increase the supply of second-hand cars available electric and non-electric as we would then be able to import them from Europe.

Once you get used to driving on the other side of the road, it quickly becomes second nature. And I still have hope in Irish people to be able to adapt without too much issue if Sweden was able to do it in 1976. There is no reason that we can't do it. Also.

A controversial opinion for sure, which cannot happen unless the UK decided to do the same thing at the same time. We share a border with the UK, so just imagine the chaos it would create at the border if we changed sides and they didn't.

Sweden changed in 1967 to bring it into line with its neighbouring countries Norway & Finland, while we would be doing the exact opposite.

I work for an insurance company and I just had to deal with an issue where part of the system couldn't handle a policyholder being over 100 years of age - they're out there!

Definitely the reason for the hatred in Ireland towards Israel can only be anti-Semitism. There's no other reason to explain why a lot of Irish jump on Israeli crimes but totally ignore human rights abuses elsewhere.

The worst thing about the current system is that it puts all of the responsiblity (and blame) into the hands of the family doctor who probably knew them for many years and knows all of their family too. Should at the very least be an independent doctor

Maybe all drivers could do with a periodic competency assessment though given what I see from people a lot younger than that 😶 Not allowed to turn their phone off, but if they look at it it's a fail 😁

Really? There's been a few people killed by "oops went into the wrong gear in an auto and then floored the accelerator thinking it was the brake" in the last few years

Isn't driving to the speed limit when conditions allow, part of the driving test? It's been a few years since my test so happy to be corrected.

A few, from over 500, is relatively small to be fair. I think, however, there should be competency tests for the older drivers.

Seems a bit disingenuous to blame slow drivers for the build up in frustration and "snapping" of those people who have really important places to go, really urgently, unless they get killed in an RTA, and then just leave shattered lives behind them, and only reach their final destination. Its s**t driving, and yes, I've seen it too.

Can't thank this enough. I commute on rural roads every day and know where's good and bad yet there are a shocking amount of people who are overly cautious and I would agree that some of them are dangerously so.

There is a particular breed that go painfully slow during stretches of continuous white line only to speed up when they hit an open stretch leaving the people behind without the opportunity to overtake. As soon as they hit the continuous lines again, they're back to unnecessarily slow and forcing capable drivers to drop gear.

In my 19 years on boards this is the most disgusting post I have ever seen on here. This post is an example of why people get away with war crimes.

I get to work in plenty of time every morning and I don't need to be in a hurry to get home.

It doesn't stop it being annoying when people are needlessly doing 50kh or lower in an 80kh zone with no overtaking allowed.

I'm not on a high horse, I just have my eyes open. The people that disagree are people who are ok with the mass murder of children. No because the IDF don't get punished when they murder children.
