Worst & Most Dangerous Drivers on the Road ?

Women are the worst offenders for talking on their mobiles while driving IMO

thats is a statement from a non-driver if i ever heard one....

seen a cracker myself last week on the M1/M50 intercange a lad obviously took the m50 exit by accident, so proceeded to reverse backwards towards the m1..

more fatal accidents involving young men in the middle of the night, but as stoked up says in general, they are much more competent from mys experience, agree with you re taxi men, esp irish taxi men with the tricolour on their sign -

also drivers in dublin are pig ignorant, wouldnt let you out for love nor money

Cyclists, especially in Dublin. They don't give a fook. Go straight through pedestrian crossings ignoring red lights and expecting the people crossing the road to get out of their way. They go in the wrong direction on one-way streets, mount pavements when they want to, and then get very angry if anyone dares to step in the cycle lane. They cycle at speed on the inside of buses which are at their stops, forcing passengers to get out of the way when they are getting on or off. An absolute nuisance, who cause anarchy on the streets of Dublin.

Now if they would only obey the rules of the road like everyone else it would be an entirely different matter...

Yellow number plates have nothing to boast about, it's either lightening fast driving or slow as a snail. I'd love to be able to post up footage of some of the antics of our British friends up the road.

Women without a doubt!  In all seriousness, they are shocking drivers.

Siralex made an interesting point about learning to drive there, now maybe it has changed a small bit since I did me test, but in my opinion, all we do in this country is learn how to pass a driving test, not learn how to drive. To give an obvious example, I did my test in a city centre. With the speed limits in cities, I dont think I got out of 3rd gear, or went over 30mph. (It was Mph back then). Now, having sucessfully passed my test on a fine sunny day without exceeding 30mph, I was now free to take myself to the motorway at midnight in the pissing rain, and do 80mph. 

You dont have to be an experienced driver to know cars dont behave identically in the above situations, but we are quite happy to let fellas/women out on the road and let them find out for themselves. Always struck me as very odd.
