I recently got rid of my car and I can’t begin to describe the sense of liberation I feel. Free from the cost of petrol, insurance, registration, parking fees. Worrying if my car will still be there when I return from a 2 week holiday. Whoever sold us the idea that having a car was a sign of independence and freedom was lying. It’s a costly burden.
This article comes across as very anti car. When pedestrians, cyclists, motor cyclists are killed on the roads it does not mean that the driver was at fault in every case. As an example if a pedestrian walks out from behind a parked truck there may not be much a driver can do. There are many examples like this. In some cases drivers are at fault but trying to demonise all drivers by suggesting all the problems are caused by ‘car brain’ does not help the situation. It just encourages people to dislike all car drivers. To be realistic any place where slow moving and fast moving traffic are sharing a space is quite risky. This is the same reason tractors are not allowed to be on motorways. Also the behaviour of some motorcyclists on our roads is appalling. There needs to be actions taken on the causes of specific types of accidents rather than just car hate articles.

This just isn’t a helpful term. People are already so polarised on this – just look at the hate levelled at cyclists – so I don’t think fanning the flames is really going to get anyone onside.
I do largely agree with the premise, but it should be framed as an improvement in infrastructure as I think more people can get behind that. It is genuinely really dangerous to commute by bicycle, and that’s as an adult with my wits about me. I can’t imagine sending a child out to do it (which is something that should be totally normal).
This article tries to sound intellectual, but it’s not saying much of substance.
Ireland actually has a very low road death rate compared to other countries of similar size. The numbers don’t support the idea that there’s something uniquely reckless about Irish drivers.
The term “car brain” is just a made-up concept. People can be careless, sure—but that’s true of anything we do routinely. Driving is inherently risky, but like with most things, familiarity breeds a kind of numbness. It’s not some deep psychological flaw; it’s just human nature.
Morons driving on our roads.
Seen the worst driving ever yesterday in Limerick. Gobshite in a blue VW. 211-D-35680
Fuck him. Absolute wanker driving that car. No respect for anyone.

Ban cars bring back horse rides. That seem to be the next evolutionary step for this country anyways.
Or you know invest heavily in trains and public transportation which would reduce road traffic … but that could require commitment and will, non of which is something the Irish state is good at.
I cycle and drive , I find people a lot of white vans drivers super aggrieves and school time collections brings out the worst in people . Both type of drivers seem to think since they are under time pressure that they can take risks .
