Try Paris lads. It's fúcking mental! Even on the country roads. Them fúckers don't see the road markings at all. They are the most arrogant drivers my dad has ever come across and he's driven in every continent bar China as they don't allow foreigners to drive on their roads. He's done New York (piss-easy he says), London, Madrid, Berlin, Sydney, Perth, Abu Dhabi and Tokyo. I'd imagine India would be the worst place to drive with a 1billion people on the move everyday in that country.
Dublin is nothing compared to my local village where foreigners (I mean people who don't live in my area) are forever driving in the opposite direction on one-way streets. Last week, a lorry came down a slip road which is one way and the engine just failed on him. Clogged up the entire village as it was one of the two exits in that village!
Drivers in Paris seem to think road markings are street art. I've even seen videos of motorcyclists just casually driving on the sidewalk
Oh imagine if we actually let lorries into Dublin
The whole ****ing East coast won't move.. 5 axles + are not allowed in the city from 7:00 to 19:00, they can go in and out of the port through the Port Tunnel though. And when they are allowed in they have to go through designated main roads. ****ing hell or else Dublin would be a long term car park. 0 -

I knew that was it. Was in Dublin a few weeks ago and I noticed a massive lack of lorries in the city centre. I remember seeing a photo somewhere in China of a traffic jam that lasted over 3 days on I think it was 20km of motorway into Beijing. Could be wrong on the length of it but it was mental looking at it!
Honestly, what is the need for lorries to go through the city centre when the port tunnel is there for you. What's the connection like between North Wicklow and the Port? I assume they can go through Dun Laoghaire?0 -

I don't know about that one but the one in 2010 lasted 10 days and stretched out over 100km.I knew that was it.

Well there's no tunnel on the Southside and they're not allowed on the inner city roads during the day so I think they'd have to go North through the tunnel, get on the M50 at Santry and then go South around Dublin, twice the normal distance.
