      So we are going to take tractors travelling at 60km/h off our motorways?

    3. GrahamR12345 on

      Now add cyclists and go slow protests and buses and potholes…

    4. Adventurous-Tax512 on

      Yes because if you go too slow you’re forcing people behind you to overtake

    5. mrbuddymcbuddyface on

      Ragebait shite from Newstalk.
      Next up, complaints about cyclists not wearing hi Viz….

      Jack Lynch tunnel , 80 km/hr is 30-40 max at rush hour for no reason, its free flow.

      There is a substantial cohort of drivers who always go 20kmh under the speed limit. This is the same group who slow down a further 10kmh when there’s a speed camera van

      Conor Faughnan complaining to Pat Kenny about slow drivers, now that’s peak Newstalk!

      I’m probably one of those. I have to drive slow at night as I’m blinded with those superbright headlights.

      If you are uncomfortable drinking near the speed limit on primary roads with a 100km limit, then at least pull over and let people pass you… Sick of sitting in a string of traffic on a good road doing 60,

      Then theres the people doing 60 until you attempt to over take them and suddenly their foot starts working again.

      And my favourite is those who drive at 70, on the motorway its 70, 100 zone, its 70, 80 zone its 70, 50 zone its 70…..

      Finally. I was waiting for the news related to turtle drivers.

      But the number one reason why they are dangerous is… The majority of them are distracted – on their phone. Not nervous. That’s why they are driving slow in the first place.

      And the ones who drive half in the lane half in the hard shoulder because they want to go 20km under the speed limit. Sorry, if you’re not able to make progress and keep up with traffic get off the road

      Was behind a blue fiesta this morning from Mallow to Cork, 45kmph on a 100 road. Fully loaded trucks overtaking it.

      Total madness

    15. dustaz on

      Someone driving 20kph over the speed limit is very dangerous. Someone texting while driving is very dangerous.

      Someone driving 20kph under the speed limit is not ‘very dangerous’.

      Speed is by far the biggest danger on the roads

    16. Zcott on

      Wait until you hear about the 45mph maximum speed limit up north for new drivers for a year, even on motorways

    17. dropthecoin on

      Literally no stats to back it up.

      It’s gas how many people will take this, what’s basically an opinion on Newstalk, as some sort of truth now because it confirms their own feeling on it.

    18. glamredhel69 on

      Been saying this for years. They are a danger on the road and will not pull over for drivers to overtake. Oblivious to everything around them until you try and overtake and they speed up!

    20. Choco_Bunny02 on

      I was stuck on the road behind an ancient woman for about 30 minutes last month. That Same route usually takes 9 to 10 minutes. Madness.

    21. lomalleyy on

      Stuck behind someone doing 20km/hr this morning and it was baffling like why are you even behind a wheel

    22. snellen87 on

      I’m sorry, but his logic is that someone behind will drive dangerously to compensate. It’s fairly weak logic.

      Slow drivers are annoying

      If you are behind the wheel of a car and you are triggered into fury by a slow driver, u need to reflect on that.

      1. No matter where you are, there will be slow drivers. You might as well get angry every time u see a red car
      2. Some people have shitty old person reflexes. It’s their job to drive to their ability. You can’t force all old people off roads. With the demographics, it will get worse.

      A car is a dangerous thing
      If you are getting stressed and angry driving, you are just a weak minded emotional dufus. Accept that the world is full of slow drivers and bad drivers and good drivers who occasional make a bad mistake. Then chill out and you’ll enjoy driving more and be safer.

      We nearly got taken off the road this weekend by a car slowly merging onto the road. From what I see its mainly older drivers who drive dangerously slow.

    24. Thisisaconversation on

      What is going on recently? 3 crashes in Drogheda alone this morning.

    25. LifeProblemsBro on

      Just had this tonight! Old man doing 25km in a 60 zone where I couldn’t overtake, we then get to the roundabout and I had a feeling he would do something stupid. He was in the left lane and I’m in the right.

      He decides to cut in front of me while we’re going around the roundabout.

    26. Captain_Vomit1 on

      Some should give the idea for the speed vans and set camere to set them for the same settings but under the speed limit for more revenue

    27. canadianabroad2023 on

      It’s shocking how many slow drivers there are on the motorway in the passing lane. Either not paying attention to their speed or just oblivious to how motorway driving is supposed to work.
      Zipper merge? Forget it.

      The worst part is that they all think they are driving more safe, 80 in a 120 for example. Someone gets up to them, brakes, person behind them brakes, person behind them brakes hard, then they get hit from behind.
      The dangerous slow driver continues on their merry way, completely unaware of the damage in their wake.

      Motorway driving should be part of the road test.
