Permission? Never mentioned the word. Free speech is something I'm very aware of, with my '50' posts :rolleyes: - it's a number my friend, and it means absolutely nothing. Don't forget that.
Such talk as "The intense pleasure I get from doing this usually causes ejaculation" and the nature of that post in general does constitute a piss take in all fairness, when the OP clearly hadn't taken that aproach.
To quote Ardscoil Ris, "There are bad drivers everywhere. Lets all get over it." That just does'nt seem like a very nice thing to say when people are trying to have a conversation in all fairness, or maybe it's just me and my old fashioned ways (respect etc..)
Anyway, apologies for not sticking to topic as such, but sometimes it has to be done.
Over and out.

I know this is slightly off topic but I was out by Killmurry Lodge wednesday pulling out of AIB as someone was pulling into it, thus letting me go out, when this nut job in a van just off the Kilmurry roundabout sees me as some severe inconvience to him and decides to tailgate the backside off me, he wasn't even there when I pulled out so it's not as if I was pulling out in front of him, I don't understand why people see the need to do this, its not as if we are out on the main road and I'm holding up the show. Why do people feel the need to aggresively taligate? It baffles me

A few taps on the breaks will usually give them the message. If it continues past that, I'll generally throw in a few sudden brakes and the rear fog lamps.ah come on, people parking with hazards on happens EVERYWHERE!! especially at hardware shops!!
you have to drive past the space to reverse into it to parallel park if its a tight squeeze, nothing wrong with that provided they have indicated.
Nothing wrong with that at all, except when it completley ignores the tailback of traffic behind you.0 -
Tapping the brakes is frowned upon although Hibernians traning school instructors told people to "feather" the brakes for tailgaters. I know this because I attended the school myself. I do it but I dont brake hard because causing a crash(which could happen) is more illegal than tailgating. "Dangerous driving" and up to 4 points on your license.
Parallel parking is a right unless the space is big enough to drive straight into and align your car afterwards but mostly this is impossible so for someone to begrude somebody a parking space because of a tailback is wrong. I personally hate people who see you indicate, drive past the space only for them to drive up behind your bumper so you cannot reverse. I personally will sit with my reverse lights on and indicator until they back up out of my way. It would be road rage to assume you can bully somebody from getting into a space because you dont want to be held up.
Where do people park without regard for others more often that not?
Outside the € shops on William Street. Those "type" of people have no regard for other users and happily block up the street.
Taxi's on Sarsfield Street boil my brain. They park on the side of that pub facing Arthurs Quay park because the rank is full and then when it starts to move they reverse back onto the junction, turn and then block the pedestrian crossing to get into the rank. I forced a taxi driver to leave the rank because I wanted to cross the road with my grandmother in a wheelchair. He said "Im sorry, where do you want me to go". I said "out of my way and after that I dont give a sh*t." Fair enough there are too many taxi's and our Mayor(scumbag in a badly fitting suit) told people that are losing their jobs that they could supplement their social welfare by using their cars as taxi's at peak periods. Taxi drivers nearly exploded with rage. :mad::mad: Oh, I hate both of them so let them off

I brake just enough to put a good scare into them. If they crash, well then thats tough **** as far I'm concerned, they should have left enough space to react to hazards.Taxi's on Sarsfield Street boil my brain.

Completley agree with you on this point, the drivers at that rank seem to think they have the right to use the road any way they want e.g when they pull out from the rank and cut across both lanes of traffic to turn up on connell street when they have no right of way to do so.0 -

I used to park my van in the loading bay outside the bank and the taxi's used to give out to me saying I was blocked their loading bay and then wrap all the taxi's around me. I had to call the Gardai twice because they refused to move.
When they try to turn right from the rank up O'Connell Street and Im at the front they never make it. I always match their speed until they finally realise they will never make it and head up William Street down the alley by BT's up Thomas Street and back over to Roches Street. You cannot cross two lanes of traffic in the ROTR so taxi's should not be allowed to do it.
They were offered a taxi rank outside Pennys and threw a strop and refused it. This would have allowed them up O'Connell Street but would have also blocked them crossing two lanes up William Street.
At least they would have had two ranks and not block the bottom of Sarsfield Street.0
