Nearly went through red light on Church St Dublin

Skill Magill

Because some Dickh€ad decided to put a referendum poster on a pole directly blocking my line of sight with the left hand traffic light, only copped after looking at the right hand one. Shouldn’t have to deal with this pointless way of, for want of a better word, electioneering.
Maybe a less experienced biker might have been split.
P1ssed off with this carry on.

Semi rant over😖

Sorry to hear, glad you're alright.
Report the poster to the Gardai so they remove it.
I'm pretty sure it's an offence to block a traffic signal like that.

Report it to the council and it will be removed and the originator fined.

Was it for "Yes" or "No" vote....

These posters should be banned. They have never influenced my decision on a referendum or election. They are not great for the environment & look terrible. The cable ties from them are left on lamp posts till the next election.

The serve no real purpose imo

Dickheads the lot of them.

Guarantee you it was for a no vote since they are the ones spaming every lamp post with multiple posts. Same thing near my house, got so pissed off that I wanted to go out at night and take them all down but I didn't went through with it unfortunately. Anyone putting these posters up should be immediately sent to auschwitz
showers.

They always put them up where they aren't allowed, like on motorways, roundabouts, near junctions. But the simple excuse everyone uses to get away with it is "we use a contractor to do it, it wasn't us". Shít excuse? Yes, but it's the one always trotted out and gets them off the hook

Sorry to break your heart here, but the only posters I've seen blocking sight of traffic lights were yes posters.

Definitely have to disagree on that, I'm sure both sides are at it but no posters are certainly targetting traffic lights around the country, even saw one eegit this morning waving a placard up in front if traffic lights.

Damn shame you've been banned, but to those who seem to agree with this. I've no agenda here. People seem to immediately assume the yes campaigners are right minded so do no wrong.

Drive out of the city along parkgate street or through kylemore. If you aren't familiar with them you won't notice you can't see a number of traffic lights.

Around of the Northridge of the city there's a lot of people campaigning for yes that have been in junctions during traffic. I see it in ballymun, glasnevin and by Hanlons corner.

Thought for the day: if Ronan Mullen was playing in traffic, would you brake? :pac:

Don't forget to grab a few for doing an oil change. Always handy under the bike to catch any drops.
