  1. That’s actually kind of impressive.

    Were they trying to turn around?

    87 point turn should get them back on the way

  2. Did it fall down from above? Just how did they manage that position.

  3. Someone should send this to all of the people in r/irishtourism asking if they should rent a large SUV.

  4. I hope nobody is in the passenger seat!? The cringe 🙈

  5. My random thoughts on seeing this photo ..

    First, “That’s the road out the top of the hill …” followed by looking up, seeing West Kerry, going, ‘no, ’tis not’.

    What are they looking at out over that bonnet?

    Hope if someone brings a few sheep up or down that road they open them doors on both sides to let them through. Might be some terrible arguments if they don’t.

  6. Since all us rural people follow your silly rules in the city like traffic lights and roundabouts I think it’s only fair you familiarise yourself with the following country etiquette before the summer 

    1. When you are driving on a road as narrow as the Shelia up the road who walks three times a day for god sake don’t just keep driving when you see a car coming. Stop in the wide patch so no one has to back. 

    2. When you inevitably fail to follow rule 1 can you please back faster? Idk what you’re driving instructor taught you but if I was to guess it would be the rule of 3. taken 3 seconds to assess you won’t fit, take another 30 seconds to assess you should probably back since there is a wide patch 10 yards behind you and the closest on the other side is 200 yards, and finally 3 minutes to reverse 10 yards after 3 failed attempts. 

    3. My favourite highly controversial one. Get tf out the way. You can probably overtake once every 5km on the average country road, nothing is more annoying then being stuck behind a tourist doing 20 under the speed limit. When a line of 10 cars build up behind you, you should probably realise you are shit driver and just pull in. Way worse than cyclists btw, for all ye on your high horses who hate cyclists. Tractor drivers pull in when they hold up a car, so why don’t slow moving car drivers offer the same courtesy (and if a tractor catches up to you pack it in and hand in your license to the nearest guarda station). A wise local man always says; “fast drivers cause most deaths but slow drivers cause most accidents” 

    Thank you for reading this. PS; Don’t bother going to rural Ireland, we hate ye👍

  7. Absolute yanks. The adventures of Tyler and Caitlin.

  8. I live on a tight cul de sac and situations like this happen often as most don’t realise it’s a dead end. We have CCTV at the front and so far it’s only been used for laughing at people like this

  9. I can see why the locals were in disbelief…..an plug in hybrid in Kerry. Who’d have thunkded

  10. And they complained about how narrow our roads were, now look how wide it is and they now have the gall to say the road is too short. No pleasing them

  11. Ya couldnt pay someone to park like that, driver must be either brilliant or very bad…no in betweens here im afraid

  12. What in the absolute f++K??

    If that’s not an American tourists I’ll eat my own head!
