A lot of my posts here are driving related, and this is a comparatively minor one, but people who don't know what hazard lights are for. Amount of people pulled in on the side of a road causing an obstruction with the left indicator flashing.

Also, driving on a side road/alley through town and there's a car parked beside the opposition footpath. Old woman plows through even though I have right of way and when I stare daggers at her she waves me off as if to say "f**k off". Take into account this was a woman who was at least 70 and looked like a churchgoer.

Was absolutely raging, but I will admit she burned me good.

Same town, there's a national road going through and the cars plow on going 100, ignoring the speed signs, and you'd be taking your life into your hands using the pedestrian crossing going into/leaving the supermarket.

Computers that do weird sh*t for no fooking reason.  For example a while ago my screen brightness buttons stopped working for no apparent reason.  Its on max brightness by default and like looking into a nuclear explosion

The influx of rickety cars, many with L plates, many which probably aren't insured/taxed/NCT'd/roadworthy, driving slowly around town increasing the length of every journey. They fervently indicate when they're not supposed to; they don't indicate when they're supposed to; you give them right of way at a junction and they inch along, or stop, like a deer in headlights with no clue what they're supposed to do; wait for traffic lights to turn red approaching every light as if their mere presence means you're supposed to reduce speed even when the light is green; brake abruptly when the lights are amber even though you're supposed to continue at the same speed if it's reasonable to do so; have no idea what those yellow boxes are for; don't know what hazard lights are for; et cetera.

No qualified passengers of course, which would go some way to rectifying this.

I don't even know why these people need cars. They never have reason to leave the town limits. Are they so lazy that they can't walk fifteen minutes to another part of town to get groceries?

And here's me stupidly assuming the cost of living crisis and surplus of ebikes would reduce the amount of people clogging up the roads!

Haven't noticed an increase or any worse L plate drivers anymore than I have in the past 20 years of being on the road but what I have noticed is people that dont need to be driving everywhere, driving f**king everywhere.

School pickups being the worst of it, housing estate is surrounded by 3 schools and they all start/finish at the same time. No way in or out at 9am and 2.30pm Mon - Fri. Most the offenders clogging up the road live in said f**king housing estate. A 5 min walk, max 10 if you live on the far side of the estate. When I went to school there in the 80s/90s there might have been one or two cars tops dropping kids off on their way to somewhere else. Everyone used to walk or cycle to school.

The kids and parents are all boarder line obese too. There used to be maybe one fat kids per class back in the day, now they're all little barrelers.

Same goes for the local shops too, slap bang in the middle of the estate with only handful of parking spots completely rammed with dopes driving 200m down the road for the milk or paper!

Anyone notice a growing habit of drivers just forcing their way in front of you when you have right of way, instead of waiting for someone to let them merge, to the point where you have to maneuver or slam the brakes and narrowly avoid a collision? Are they emboldened to do it because you'd be liable for crashing into them from behind? Seems to be happening on a daily basis now, people having no patience to wait any length of time while waiting to merge.



Also, parked cars pulling out in front of you without indicating. A lot of younger drivers seem to think it's optional to indicate.

When you're eating something nice but the very last piece/bite of it is manky.

Made a baked potato loaded with chili and cheese there for dinner, was lovely until the last quarter of the potato was a bad bit.

When you've made your dinner and you're bringing it over to the table and the plate falls and food his the ground. 

Then the uneasy feeling when you have put the food back on your plate and eaten it anyway

Even in 2022 the Parish priest is still the first person to go too for RTE when something happens in a town 

'The town is numb and in shock' come off it. You're trying to make this out that the everyone in the area is going round with a sour sad face

Catholic Ireland alive and well thanks to RTE

Most other people don’t like to speak in camera.  The priest sees it as their job and responsibility.  Blaming Rte is a bit much.  Anyway who cares as it’s of no importance who speaks when something as tragic as this happens.

I use ''north of'' as in ''north of Ireland''.     Say goodbye to your kneecaps.
