ronan_d_john said:Just cause you're doing the speed limit doesn't mean you're entitled to hog the outside lane, which many Irish drivers appear to believe to be the case.
Danmo said:How can you HOG outside lane if you are doing optimum speed for that road?

In other EU countries, you put on your hazard lights and try to drive on along the hard shoulder until you reach one of the emergency 'phones that are located at 2km intervals along every motorway. You then walk back 150m from your stopped car and place a hazard triangle (which it is compulsory to carry in your car at all times) on the hard shoulder to warn other motorists. Only then do you return to the car and change your flat.Murt10 said:If you get a puncture on the motorway what are you suppost to do. Drive on, on the hard shoulder until you can pull off or stop and change the wheel. Personally, I'd abandon the car, climb up onto the bank and call the AA, but fornon AA members, what should they do
