Carnage on the Roads - tis no surprise with lads like this

not sure if this is the right section for this rant but anyways...

http://soundcloud.com/italk/skilled-drivers-will-never-crash-even-if-they-go-too-fast-and-hang-out-the-window

have a listen to this buck that reckons that only bad drivers will ever crash and good drivers will never be involved in an accident...:mad::mad::mad:

Is it any wonder there's such carnage on our roads when you see lads like this on our roads... The governments plans for 20 driving lessons etc etc are never gonna be effective when this sort of lads is on our roads...

It's also lads like this fault that insurance for young males like myself is absolutely astronomical...

I'm flabbergasted by how thick he is.

Would have helped if your man Peter didn't keep saying moran over and over again and let the caller get a word in.

Bloody Nipples · 26-07-2010 07:40AM

Was there any point in letting him get a word in? He had absolutely NOTHING of worth to contribute.

The guys an idiot.........

I'm not. Most of the young drivers in Ireland are like this.

yes there's a percentage of drivers like this - but there's a lot that aren't...

I personally don't know anyone who drives around and starts sticking their legs out the window of the car going round bends "knowing" that no one is coming round the bend...

I've been driving for a year now and I've never participated in any form of dangerous driving yet - why because I'm afraid of messing up and writing the car off and getting busted and breakin bones basically.. it'd hurt like f**k, so I don't do it.... why I don't speed and stick my feet out the window is really irrelevant but it proves that their are some young lads that mightn't be "GREAT" drivers as this lad says or whatever he's on about... but lads like me are at huge risk because we're expected to avoid hitting lads coming at 20000000 million miles an hour down the wrong side of the road with their feet out the window... and when I crash into a tree to avoid someone like these this lad will be proven right that it's only young sh*t drivers that crash...

it's so unfair that so many young male drivers are branded with the same brush as tools like this and have to be subjected to so much scrutiny when it comes to driving... my insurance is going to be such a financial burden on me for the next couple of years because of lads like this despite me never wanting to participate in any of their childish antics...

when I want to feel like a big boy and drive at 100 miles an hour down a main road I get Need For Speed out on the Playstation and do it their where I'm not risking killing myself or god forbid someone else...

as for this lads attitude.. this attitude is the exact reason why the 20 lessons for learner drivers scheme won't work... will 20 driving lessons change this lads opinion on drink driving and speeding and angels as he calls them...

This is why i don't drive and never bothered to learn, at least in Ireland. What's the point if im gonna be paying something like €2500 a year to pay for someone elses accidents?

Hank Scorpio · 26-07-2010 09:37AM

What a feckin eejit

Feel embarassed listening to him, so bloody deluded

Richard Hammond is a skilled driver.

You have a "don't buy the Sun" website in you're sig and come out with the most Sun-like statement Boards has ever seen:rolleyes:

wanker

It's times like these I wish we were like 4chan.. Ya know, find out who he his, where he lives, what he drives and smash the fuk out of it.

hondasam · 26-07-2010 10:00AM

driver is an idiot but these two presenters are biggers ****, using the caller to get publicity for their stupid radio station. cannot listen to these two going on and on. peter saying he hopes the caller drives into a brick wall is not really profesional. we see kids hanging out of cars after football matches driving like mad on country roads and no one takes any notice. adults do crazy things also.

The thing is though, the vast majority of accidents you hear about involve young male drivers. Just look at those poor young lads in Donegal the other week.

An awful lot of young men think they are invincible and they can drive a ridiculous speeds without harm. I think part of it is showing off too. Drink is often a factor too.

Denying that a lot of young male drivers are not responsible and reckless, like the eejits in the post above, will certainly do nothing to improve safety on the roads.

Andy-Pandy · 26-07-2010 10:06AM

What video are they talking about?

hondasam · 26-07-2010 10:14AM

it was on you tube but not anymore, hav you got yesterdays sunday world its there also. young lads in nenagh been idiots. listen to the clip on the first post of this.

mike65 · 26-07-2010 10:18AM

Jasus this has been on the Motors forum for days now.

By the way "carnage on the roads" is a classic RTE type line of bull****. Road fatalities have never been lower. That doesn't take anything away from the morons like Tommy though a bit of me wonders if its a wind up.

hondasam · 26-07-2010 10:25AM

ya thats why i cannot take these presenters serious, the are so stupid and unprofessional all the time. the are famous for their silly antics.

A real life troll?

tolosenc · 26-07-2010 10:46AM

The sooner people realise that it is a tiny minority of YMDs that act like this, the easier it'll become for the rest of us.

I'd wager that a far higher proportion of drivers in their 40s and 50s drink and drive than those in their 20s - when we were brought up, it just wasn't acceptable.

Successful radio troll is successful.

thats a proper gobsh!te!!
Its ok to hang out of the car in places like the motorway??proper retard!

He used to drink drive too....

Conor Bourke · 26-07-2010 11:52AM

Judging by his accent, that guy "Tommy" is from Sligo, as are Peter and Mary (well she's from Dromahaire in Leitrim but went to school in Sligo), I used to listen to iRadio alot but on more than one occasion I have heard "callers" who sounded completely fake and scripted, and that there sounded like a prime example of one. I have a feeling that this was a stunt to garner publicity for their show, to show how much of a stand they were taking. It's not even vaguely believable that this guy rang in for real. They talk about "calling shenanigans"? I'm calling shenanigans on them.

RoadKillTs · 26-07-2010 12:07PM

"Angel Wings"

What a loser!! :mad:

26-07-2010 12:13PM

You were listening to something from iRadio and you were surprised they were talking about some tripe?

caseyann · 26-07-2010 12:14PM

One of the young lads i knew i worked with in a school(17 years old),was killed two years back.His mate was driving the car.The same mate who survived the crash,over took me at about 80kph on a continuous line road couple of months ago(also speed limit is 60 there).And he put the foot down and vanished.Also this road is a small country winding road.With the likes of him on the road is dangerous for us all.

I totally agree with you. I've heard a few bits and pieces on "Simon's Slappers" on i105107 and they've been totally fake and scripted. This one doesn't sound any different. Shame on iRadio for using this issue as a publicity stunt.
