Today I had a near miss & I’m still shaking because of it!!! I was stopped at the the junction of Tolka Valley Road/Rathoath Road today waiting to take a right turn onto Rathoath, this is a very busy road where nobody seems to abide by the speed limits. I was sitting there for about 5mins nearly suffering from whiplash looking from left to right waiting patiently to take my turn safely. Finally when the way was clear I pulled out onto the road only to be nearly taken out by a car who had bolted up the road from out of nowhere as I was half way across the road!!! The person, man/woman I dont know, sat on their horn, I continued on my journey as they sat in the road going mental. This person was seriously speeding and nearly caused a major accident with someone who was driving as safely as possible. I would never pull out onto any road without taking due care and I am so sick of these people thinking they own the road & can drive however they want. Some people shouldn’t be allowed to drive!!!!

Another example of those that think they can whatever they please and get away with it. You almost became a statistic.
