Almost 90% of banned drivers fail to surrender licences (and the Irish authorities do sweet FA about it).

Pretty pathetic, that is not even bothering to follow-up on the soft punishments on the incredibly small fraction of bad who are actually prosecuted (at great public expense) for breaching our lax and very rarely enforced driving laws.

At 3:10pm today my drive involved passing 3 schools at their finishing times.Each had 20mph flashing warnings.At the first on a 40 mph road a car pulled aggressively up to my rear honking his horn. He then proceeded to do the same at the next 2 with a flourish and a fist wave at the last.
Presumably for the imaginary 15 seconds of his time I stole. Could have done with a rear facing cam.

From the way some people drive, can only guess they’re in a hurry for a funeral — and if they don’t slow down, it’ll most likely be their own… can only hope & pray they don’t take anyone else with them on the way 😕

There’s no time
It’s too much
It’s too late
Got to rush
Say goodbye…

Many people would be saved from ruined lives if the rule was that cars driven dangerously were immediately confiscated and crushed, and a lifetime ban imposed msn.com/en-ie/news/world/man-j

And the winner is this clown, who slowed down as he approached me, moved to the left side of the road and made a very close pass followed by a brake test and feigned pulling off to the side of the road and then pulled out in front of me when I went to pass on the right. One of those rare times when I regretted not have a forward facing camera as well as the rear one.
