I’m a regular visitor to this site and have noticed the constant decline of the average motorist on the roads these days, due many issues including enforcement – but in the last two days on my morning commute its got to the tipping point that I felt compelled to start contributing to this site!.
On Wednesday on a main dual carriageway (N11) into Dublin where it intersects with another junction, traffic controlled. The smaller road lights were Green and traffic had been turning on to the N11 for some seconds when a nutter decided that he wasn’t going to wait at the N11 red light, hop into the bus lane and swerve past the traffic pulling into the N11! He then continued on his merry way till the next junction where he waited at the red filter light!!
Another regular occurence I see are the people who just ignore red filter lights – just drive through them if there is no traffic and screw any pedestrians trying to cross! After all Red is just a warning!!!
Finally another subject already seen twice in two days – the make-up driver!
Today a typical example, woman doing her make-up at red traffic lights, second they are green floors it in the SUV, speed no limit till the next set where its time to continue to do the make-up. Other examples of this are woman doing their makeup as they actually drive – blissfully unaware of their surroundings!

First of all; welcome aboard Ste!
and I am surprised on how some people can multitask like you said with make ups; though that person at N11 is just insane and i wonder how s/he managed to avoid getting bumped.
