Hi all. Have been on this site a lot since it opened but have only just registered!!
I can’t believe this moron— slow driving is what kills on the road. What percentage of accidents is caused by people trying to go about their daily business, but end up passing because some person is dilly dallying in front!!!!!
It maddens me a lot. Can he not see if he abided by the speed limits that he wouldn’t have a car stuck up his arse!! Coming in the Dundalk road around 8.20am from Carrick takes the piss. It takes me 35-40mins to get to Dundalk because of these Sunday drivers!
People have to get from A to B!
was driving my daughter and her friends home last night when a Taxi came up fast behind me. I was traveling at 50KPH. He stayed so close to me that at times I could not see his lights. I intentionally slowed down for two reasons;
1. I won’t be bullied into driving over the speed limit, and
2. I feared if he rear ended me, better to do it at a slower speed.
My daughter eventually got his licence plate number. This took along time as he was driving so near.
My question is, Who can/should I complain this type of aggressive dangerous driving to?

I was on the M1 this morning approaching the Dundalk exit going north when I witnessed another DKIT (Dundalk Institute of Technology) Hot hatchback screaming up in the outside lane all over the back of another driver who was overtaking me at the time. I was under cruise control at 120 on the inside lane.
This pratt in his Cork reg civic then decided a bit of undertaking was in order and decided to pull in and then out as quick as he could. Stupid intimidation.
I was going to the college on business and found the car and called the Guards. Whilst I couldn’t be arsed going to court I explained I would like someone to “have a word”. The Guard promised me they would be talking to him this morning.
DKIT car park is full of happy go lucky students and hatchback cars … some racers. Most are sensible proud car owners but some take the biscuit on the roads surrounding the college. It is easily accessed from the North, South and Midlands so many travel considerable journeys. The M1 is a dangerous raceway in the morning and the guards too underfunded to manage it … students need selfcontrol. I wonder what the college does about road safety… the authorities there must have seen the road behaviour themselves.
I hope my white Civic driver got his visit today … even if he didn’t … I feel good about reporting him!

Thank you to Deirdre Walsh of Radio Kerry’s “Kerry Today” programme who spoke to Niall O’Keeffe of ShiteDrivers.com this morning from 9.30am. They spoke about various aspects of the site and bad driving with particular reference to Kerry drivers – speed limits being too high on bad roads, elderly farmers on their tractors, bad parking, children not being strapped in correctly and more.
We do not currently have a recording of this interview, but if we get one, it will be put onto the Media page with the others.
Here’s another chance to express your opinion
