    Was coming home from listowel about an hour ago, and there was a very serious accident just at the turn off for Mountcoal.

    The roads seem to be very dangerous in the last week!

    Was talking to a fella last night who said he met a car coming against him the wrong way down the bypass at the Clash exit.

    I've seen that too, It was either a red 4x4 or a van, unfortunately I was walking so couldn't get a reg. I use that exit a lot and it must be pants soiling to find a car coming against you when you don't expect it

    I was waiting at the lights at the bus station in the right hand lane to go up the oakpark road we were on the red - stopped. Once the lights turned green two cars from the Sean Mhuillean side one in the correct lane, the other in the lane to go to the post office both came down against us, the young fella in the wrong lane tearing off towards Aldi

    then the lights turned red, que the green arrow which comes on (to go up the oakpark road) - we begin to move when breaking the red light from the post office side come an old lady and turns right nearly going into a van that was taking the green arrow right turn. The van managed to stop in time and the old lady causally as you like drives on down the road.

    Add that to what happened with the car going up the wall at McDonalds yesterday.......

    That junction is becoming lethal. The amount of idiots who will continue to drive despite the red lights is insane! If there was ever a need for a camera there to catch these guys it's now!

    Another example of a certain sector of our community thinking that laws don't apply to them

    saw that earlier too!! thought the very same thing. No concept of how to park, blocking the entire footpath for everyone, especially those with wheelchairs or buggys. The way people park up in this town is becoming a joke lately! Literally no thought for others, apart from them only caring about how far they would have to walk! Ignorant beyond words.

    Does anyone here have Kerry Broadband? More importantly does anyone here know the guy and if he's actually still operating?

    I've rang the number a good few times but no answer. For my area they look like the best option, it's just trying to contact them for a date for install.

    At the very least you should obscure the van reg number. Casual racism aside Identifying any ones vehicle on boards is surely a bad idea.

    There's a thread about them in the main Kerry section
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057283923&page=3

    looks like they are pretty hard to get hold of, and slow to get connected.

    They shouldn't block the footpath while parking on double yellows on a public street then should they!

    And why is it considered racist to call them out on it?

    Really I just think they the reg number should not be visible on a public site. but that's just my opinion.

    It was on a public street!

    Maybe shaming them will stop them in future!

    Agree with you Sir !

    I do not believe there was any issue of racism here, perhaps Lisha could expand her thought.

    Having looked at the photo again all I see is a blue Ford Transit parked outside a chinese restaurant ( which may or may not belong to Wang King) parked on double yellow lines.

    I don't understand the suggestion of racism.Perhaps someone could enlighten me please.

    Perhaps, though I don't understand why you thought there was evidence of a racism issue.:confused:

    The vehicle was displaying a County Limerick reg plate ???:confused: So Lisha what are you suggesting??.:confused:

    The OP was merely pointing out an issue concerning the blocking of footpaths and parking on double yellow lines which is an ongoing issue in Tralee Town Centre which causes problems for pedestrians and other road users.

    Sorry I cannot see why you thought the OP was being racist:confused:

    Calm yourself Del and have a read of the post. I believe Lisha took issue with the line "a certain sector of our community thinking that laws don't apply to them"

    Have checked with my solicitor, he has informed me that while a parking violation is in progress, I am free to identify the vehicles licence plate, but not to publish an image of the driver

    That whole section of castle st is used as a parking bay, and it's not on. I see the same people reoffending constantly outside takeaways and shops, it's beyond a joke now
