    They broke my car.

    They damaged my car in such a way that might impair its roadholding and overall safety.

    And no other road with ramps or shopping centre with humps couldn't have done that at any point?

    "They" didnt break anything. Your car required maintenance anyway.

    Whenever the hell I can afford the time and money for the part to show up. Be nice to be able to afford a brand new ****box like some people seem to think everyone can.

    Of course, I need it for work so going without's not really an option.

    The fact you cant afford a new car doesnt give you licence to drive your car in full knowledge that the "road holding and overall safety" is impaired.

    Then how do I do my job?

    I don't get paid enough to rent a car.
    Or take a taxi
    I have no annual leave left.

    And public transport is full of scumbags. And doesn't carry tools and equipment.

    OK guys, take it to PM if you want to discuss this further. While I sympathise with your plight Dartz, it could be entirely coincidental that the part failed on your car while you were going over one of the new ramps and it could have gone had you hit a bump elsewhere. Or maybe the ramp is responsible, but either way we have no way of knowing. However if you feel strongly enough about it I suggest you take it up with Fingal County Council.

    I see they've installed the same ramps on the Church Rd in Mulhuddart - they don't seem as step or possibly narrower.

    Are the ramps on Church Road not the ones that have been there for years?

    I wonder is there time to make a submission to the new Fingal Development Plan to just install ramps on all new roads :p

    Have found one objection to the ones on Hartstown, this evening and ambulance with lights on and someone in the back had to come to a near stop at each one. Pretty sh1t if it was an emergency!
