Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    He was just exercising the dags, I'm sure.

    I have to admit that I laughed when I saw it, but he may have been broken down.

    The problem is that many people just are unfamiliar with Motorway driving.

    Modern tractors are capable of more than 50km, as are towed caravans. No issue there, to be honest.

    Again the motorway rules do not enforce a target of 120kmh,it's a limit.

    The problem is when unlit traillers are involved.

    :eek:

    Saw some couple having a picnic on the embankment of the motorway between Shannon and Ennis a few weeks ago... :-/

    Maybe their car had broken down and they were grabbing a bite to eat while they waited for the tow truck? That happened to us back in June. My dad's car broke down just as we came off the motorway. He managed to get it into the hard shoulder. We all got out, I pulled out my son's car seat as he's three and I wasn't willing to trust him to understand that he couldn't run about. We climbed the embankment and I strapped him into his seat and fed him a succession of snacks from my bag to keep him calm. A lot of cars beeped their horn at us, so it obviously looked like we were having some sort of bizarrely shítty picnic to passing motorists.

    I saw a class act today. I was heading towards the slip road heading towards the toll plaza at N25 Waterford and low and behold on the other side a lovely Passat missed his exit and decided to stop and turn around and drive back to the slip road and exit. He was lucky no one was going in his direction as he would have been facing them head on.
