Does anyone know the reason for the new 60kph speed limit on the Nenagh Bypass (N7)?
It's one of the best stretches of road along the N7, yet the speed limit has been reduced to 60kph and there is a line of traffic cones in the middle of the road (for about 5 miles). As a result, if there is a breakdown there could be absolute chaos.
I drove along this road on St Stephens night, at 60kph. When I came out at the Dublin end, I sped-up to 100kph. Then a car behind me, a few cars back, drove up alongside me on the wrong side of the road, blowing it's horn and flashing it's lights. I slowed, forcing him/her past me. Then he/she moved in front of me, and shimmied/fishtailed and braked.
I slowed further and put on my hazards to warn other motorists that all was not right, ie, that there was a nutter on the loose (probably holiday release over the Christmas period)
Had I thought of it in time, I should have overtaken them again, as they'd slowed right down at this stage!
