I for one disagree its not that I'm pro needless road signs but more that I'm very pro students getting hit by cars...crusty nut scratchers

I think the problem was more with the speed bumps than any associated road signs...

It started off about road signs fadò fadò
The tiny tiny metric ones
"Stare at the dash till you crash" and all that

is it just me or could 1 sign at either side have sufficed ? but at least make it legible ... while you're trying to read the signs speeding by ... WHACK there goes another student...

Having spent three years crossing the junction at the college end of the bridge, and having done (with the help of my super minions, of course) a survey of the traffic and it's light-crashing habits at the same junction last year I can tell you that a huge proportion of the cars/buses/vans/lorries coming over that bridge are moving at significantly more than 50km per hour (or 30 mph as it was then). But then, I doubt that even grabbing them by the back of the neck and smashing their faces into the speed limit signs would be enough to make some of those feckers aware of the speed limit, let alone make them obey it.

I try and hit 80kph every mornin on the bridge.
There was this girl crossing this morning, she looked scared.
Why the fcuk cant they walk to the traffic lights or go down the side bank.
If they're that lazy they deserve to be hit.

yaledo

I did driving lessons in Galway, I went across the bridge at 30mph, my instructor told me that it is safer to drive at 35mph, because you save everyone having to overtake you. I did this during my test, and passed.

Are you serious? You think a couple of idiots jaywalking is a reason to endanger even more lives? There is no excuse for premeditated speeding, especially to that extent, I really hope you get your licence revoked before you discover first-hand how much of a fool you're being.

Do calls to the gardai cost money? Why not spend it instead on developing a sense of responsibility?

Of course, getting to the traffic jam on the other side of the bridge 30 seconds earlier is FAR more important than the risk of having an accident, losing your licence, getting a big fine, maybe a prison sentance, and having a death or two on your conscience, isn't it?

If you're so afraid for them why don't you get down to the bridge
and stop the retards running out into the middle of the road.
Better yet we'll make you a lollipop man.......
