Still a surprisingly large number of drivers on Irish roads who have never done, or failed, a driving test
Looks like it's the cyclists who are far more in need of additional testing, per today's Irish Times:Also
100% agree.
We need an NCT for drivers.
Bad manners, black spots contribute to crashes - coroner
Bad manners and poor identification of black spots are contributing to crashes on the roads, according to the Public Information Officer of the Coroner's Society of Ireland.www.rte.ie
No doubt Wank will not be able to comprehend thatLooks like it's the cyclists who are far more in need of additional testing, per today's Irish Times:
Serious injuries to cyclists on roads far higher than official Garda data shows
New study finds number of injured child cyclists recorded in Irish hospital data is more than over six times higher than in Garda records, the traditional source of official crash statisticswww.irishtimes.com
"Almost two-thirds (64 per cent) of hospitalised cyclists were injured in single-vehicle collisions, in this case meaning the bicycles themselves".
So much for all the cyclists being killed and injured by drivers....

Even scarier, those same people got the license to drive any vehicle type if they ticked all the boxes!
Not surprising.
Back in the late 1970s there was a huge backlog of people waiting to take the test. Govt solution was anyone who'd had 2 consecutive provisional licences were given a full one on application. Crazy thing because some people had never actually driven a car previously but as they had the two provs, they automatically got the full licence.
That population are now starting to come off the road. They'd now be in their mid 70s.

In mitigation, he does have a huge crotch, which makes it harder to pass.
^So many close passes.
