Apologies

"Break checking can be fun if you can take off quick enough for them not to hit into the back of ya."

And it's dangerous
And stupid
And any dope that does it deserves every bit of damage done to their car and the resulting dangerous driving prosecution they would get from it if caught in the act.

Good man.

where did i mention a car ?
Should possibly go to specsavers kid.

Don't have them on bikes.


I know It's not clever, in fairness though if your on something that can get upto passed the speed limit in a blink of an eye , then it can be annoying for the muppet behind you if ya break check them. I presume It's annoying anyways.

Pulling up ur handbrake slightly will frighten the ****e outta people who tailgate dangerously and aggressivly more than anything else

What does that do?

If someone is tailgating I normally just gradually slow right down for a bit, and then bring my speed back up to the proper level. The tailgater normally takes the hint.

It slows you down without them realising and frightenes the bejasus outta them. They soon get the idea.

If someone is driving recklessly behind you, isn't slowing down the safest thing to do?

I had the same problem this morning, I was stuck behind a Volvo this morning doing between 50 - 60 kms the whole way in the road, which was bad enough, but then they kept swaying between the hard shoulder line and the white line in the middle of the road, and when someone was finally able to overtake him, he actually brought his car right over to the white line causing the car that was overtaking to go way out on the otherside of the road. By the time we got to the half way house there was easily 10-15 cars stuck behind him. I wasn't taking any chances cause as they say i would rather be a live coward than a dead hero.. but it is very frustrating and in my eyes absolutely no need for it.

There is nothing more annoying

I am a micra driver but i dont drive stupid slow for no reason. Not all micra drivers are muppets. For some of us its the only car we can afford.

Coming in tat road been stuck doing 60 is awful. I know there is not much diff in the time it takes ya to get there but but it still gets my back up.

There's 2 types of micra driver....there's people like you who actually drive the car:p and then there's anyone over 65 with their brand new 2011, revving the **** out of it in 1st gear and dont go above 20kph anywhere they drive!! There the ones who really annoy me!!:mad:

I used to drive me mothers micra about 10 years ago when I started driving. Grand cars in my opinion. I drove the nuts outta the poor thing. It took some abuse.
Mother didn't want me ever getting a motorbike. Crashed the micra and had me first road bike a week or two later, woo.
Stick with the micra and if people take the piss just tell them to go fork themselves

haha good man seany. i drives a micra myself. beast of a machine. bit depressing though when your floatin up the motorway thinking your in nascar and some fecker in a bmw spins past ya at ease ha ha

Drivers will have to realise that 60kph or indeed 80 kph is not a target , and you must still drive , taking into consideration road conditions and other road users .

Next time you drive on the Waterford -Tramore road , look out for the memorials .

According to this website , there are 11 between Waterford and Tramore :

There are eleven memorials between Waterford city and the popular seaside resort of Tramore, a distance of six miles

I had a Micra for 5 years and drove the crap out of too, I made a profit every time I claimed mileage.

Yes, there have been may fatal crashed on that road but without referring to any accident, most happened at a time when the drink drive limit wasnt enforced.

I used to live near Katie Reily's and often saw car drove pass doing over 100mph, (in my opinion).

They should look into making the road a 2+1 with a 80Km limit, that really works well in the N24.

Uncle Gaybo says you are safer driving @ 30 40kmph
