Swear to god next time I see a granny doing 50 in the red part I will just ram up her arse.
Huh?
This really frustrates me, people trying to merge at the first opportunity and causing traffic to build on the slip lane but what equally annoys me is people not allowing others to zip merge 😑
The amount of people that break at the end of the accelerated bit drives me nuts
You are very wrong: the red area is where i slam my brakes and wait and wait and wait some more.
And while wainting i’m thinking “Do i need milk from Lidl? Is the one i have in my fridge still ok?!”
Motorways still aren’t included in the driving test/lessons, right?
So it isn’t surprising that nobody knows what they are doing on the motorway.
Everyone is just trying to figure it out as they go.
You accelerate before merging?
most of the time now I have a mouth breather on the left lane barely a few meters behind me not moving to the right lane to allow me to merge, and they happen to be the only car around.
Oh no, I just accelerate the whole time.
Drop gear, floor it, upshift at redline, and again. I do a full on top speed run. Sometimes I even put on my helmet.
Then throw myself right into the far right lane trying not to lose momentum.
Good luck everyone else.
drivers of ~~ireland~~ everywhere
Irish drivers don’t get merging. Every day on my route to work two lanes merge. Without fail the right lane decides the left is “cheating” and tries to cut the left lane off
Also when you’re in the left lane coming towards an on ramp like this, and see a car heading towards the motorway trying to merge, you move in to the next lane so they can fucking merge and don’t have to slow down.
We have some sort of need in Ireland to walk behind people in a queue so close so nobody can skip you and we have tye same need driving on motorways.
Slow when entering the slip road to allow the idiot in front of you some space so you can then accelerate down the ramp without slamming on te breaks everytime they slow a bit.
Give space when in the driving lane, you don’t need to stop a guy coming down the ramp and getting between you and the guy ahead of you. The fella coming down the ramp will enter your lane and then go to a different lane. You will never see him again. It’s not a race.
It’s like people who que up before checking and race to get on the airplane and then sit there while everybody bashes there bellies and hand luggage off their heads. What did you achieve?
Just give enough space so you don’t need to break and the other lanes don’t have to completely stop because the fella in that lane can’t get into your lane.
Try be sound.
You accelerate until you match the speed in the main lane and merge when safe, not just in the blue zone. Really annoying to have some idiot tootle along in the merge lane at 95 and then elbow in at the end when you are doing 100
No, you’ve got it wrong. The blue part is where I slow down and the red part is where I come to a dead stop, indicate and wait for traffic to clear. They really should have lights on these motorway junctions. But they don’t so after all the beeping and people being totally reckless I eventually tiptoe into the lane at less than 30kph, because slower is safer. I do sometimes wonder why other drivers are always so rude or impatient, beeping, flashing their lights and diving for the other lane with no regard to the traffic already in that lane. I don’t look to my right anymore because people always look so angry as they pass when I do. Why is everyone always driving so fast, why are people always beeping. I just wish the roads were safer. I drive slow, slow is safe.
