Spotted in Dublin City Centre on Thursday 16th August.
Seriously, you can’t fully appreciate it from the photo, but she had teddies everywhere, including stuck on both the back door windows! Someone should be taking her license!
For the record, I didn’t take the photo, my passenger did.

Wonder what the gardaà would say about it (… probably nothing, mind you…)
The mind truly boggles!
women like this give all the girls bad name. first impression – AIRHEAD, she should be pushing a pram not driving a car. i bet she had pink fluffy dice too!
What’s even WORSE is that in the case of a HEAD-ON COLLISION each one of those INNOCENT TEDDIES becomes a DEADLY MISSILE capable of STRIKING the occupants of the car with the FORCE OF AN ELEPHANT.
I bet she also sits so close to the steering wheel that she can’t see any of her mirrors! People like this should never be given any licence.
Probably to busy paining her nails to notice
You should all relax,people driving on the roads and in life in general do what they can get away with doing.
I dont see the problem with this persons car, I drive a small van for a living and so have no back window and cannot use a rear view mirror. I and thousands of other van/truck drivers can manage quite well using only side mirrors so why do ye think this person can’t?
Its not a problem! you dont have to be able to see out the back, by law you only need one rear view mirror, the one on the right, so actually she is doing fine!!!!
No. seriously, you had to see this car to believe it. Study the photo, she has a koala bear either side of her rearview mirror, as well as half a bloody handbag of trinkets hanging off the bottom.
While I take the point about vans with no rear mirror, Daly’s point about all the teddies going everywhere in an accident stands..
killed by a flying stuffed teddy..
how bad would that be
cringe.. a pink one and all……
seriously there is requirements for visibility through front and rear screens where fitted but the kind people in the nct car test centre will be too glad to help….
alternatively you can flag a guard and ask his oppinion on this one..
people dont just pass comment on this but try and find out the facts about front and rear visibility as you might meet this girl some day and be able to tell her and surprise surprise she might be shocked and glad for you advice….the links above for the DOT will be a good start… be informed!!!! not mis informed… ignorance is as what this girl is displaying not teddies… “so to speak” for those knit pickers amongst you…
Ah colm, you’re not serious are you?, you’re not seriously suggesting that a barage of flying stuffed childrens teddies may result in injury in a crash? Also, countsian, I would be interested to see these ‘facts’ of yours about visibility through the rear window.
And yes I am a knit picker, and pride myself in it.
Hey. These comments are full of fun. The biggest joke is the one about the van drivers. A van driver driving (managing) well. There should be a separate blog for van drivers alone – if the bandwidth could take it!! An other joke of course is the one about asking the gardai for an opinion. And then there is the one about the licence – who has a licence these days! They only attract penalty points. Why have one?
I used to get so stressed trying to survive on the roads surrounded by people doing crazy s**t, and I drive for a living so I spend all day behind the wheel. Then I realised that people do these things because they can get away with it, nobody (especially the Gardai) ever says anything to them. Some of them are so thick that they don’t even realise they’re doing wrong. The only answer, therefore, is to let them know in no uncertain terms what you think of them and their driving. Just recently I was leaving a hospital entrance which has a massive hedge obstructing the view (that’s another story!), leading onto a 40kph road. As I pulled out I noticed a car coming up behind me at a horrendous speed, given the location & speed limit. I moved on quickly (I drive a 2l turbo so pick-up is no problem), but the young girl in the car, with ‘L’ plates I might add, felt the need to lean on the horn, flash her lights & make threatening gestures to me. I weighed up the situation and, on realising it was safe to do so, I stopped my car right in front of her & jumped out. The look on her face was priceless, she absolutely s**t herself! She locked her door in record time & started to apologise profusely thru the window. She was actually in tears, even though I hadn’t actually opened my mouth at this stage. She simply didn’t expect my reaction & I’m sure she won’t ever do what she did again. The only words I spoke to her were, ’slow down for f**k’s sake, before you kill yourself or someone else’.
Hi ray your some hero picking on a wee young woman driver Ya fool ya. A guy did more or less what you did to me in dublin one time under different circumstances . I didnt lock the door i got out an beat the living shit out of him. Just because you are on the road all day everday i imagine your one of them fools that thinks he own it an everyone should comply to your rules. That aint how it works if i pay my tax an insurace an have my car correct for the road then i have has much right to be on it as you. Anyways away back with ya there an bully the young girls on the road ya clown ya. Ps. we dont need to know anything about the pick up on your car a 2l turbo doesnt sound like much of a car now a days . What a Hunk a Junk
@Kevin – I don’t expect that each of them would turn into little meteorites and slash her up like a cheap B movie, but you’ve enough shite to be dealing with in a crash without 50 fluffy teddies going on fire and filling the car with god only knows what kind of smoke!
That was me id just had a lucky streak at the funfair ,as I drive such a small car I had nowhere to store my muched loved prizes. I sincerly apologise if Ive caused offense to any motorist and I have learnt the errors of my way. Im sorry to say the time has come to say goodbye to 10 of my beloved bears free to a good home by way of an apologyP.S pooh bear is goin nowhere as he only takes up 6.4″ in height4.1″in width and according to gardai does not obstruct my view.
@ BBOB – jaysus man, maybe Ray did yer one a favour by getting out to her,she may think twice about being so aggressive/impatient behind the wheel in future, its not like he ” got out an beat the living shit out of him/her” like you did..sounds like you’re the bully mate!!
bbob ….. what a twat. go get some lessons in anger managment
Agreed – BBOB… who do you think comes across better here? You or Ray?
(Clue… it’s Ray. Oops!)
