I take the N3 between Dublin and Navan everyday and the number of people driving constant 70 or 80 with no regard to the actual legal speed limits simply astonishes me.
This morning a new record - 60 km/h by a Nissan Primera /i.e. no truck/ in a 100 km/h zone.
Now, there is so much talk about excessive speeding - but don't these people realize that driving too slowly can also cause dangerous situations? First of all, you are blocking the whole traffic. Second, you are encouraging overtaking. Third - if you cannot drive, if you get scared by the lights from a car driving in the opposite directions and feel the need to brake instantly, if you are afraid of driving faster than 70 km/h because you don't think you can react fast enough - please please please, take a bus!!!! The government and the Green Party are encouraging it anyway so go ahead, get the ticket and sell the poor car.
