Poor woman, hope she makes a full recovery
It is alarming the number of crashes occurring each day.
That cork safety alerts app is very good in fairness
Indeed, at least and hopefully she will recover just hope the poor woman does not have long term issues / injuries.
As for the standard of driving, it is gone to fhe absolute pits.
Indicators now seem to be an inconvenience to operate, the running of Amber and just gone red traffic lights perfectly acceptable.
Dare and drive at 50 in a 50 and someone will be on your back bumper.
The same with 80, do that on a dual carriageway and everyone will pass you by.
Just today as an example, I had reason to head up the M8, there is resurfacing works between Glanmire North and Watergrasshill, both lanes are open as normal but the top course of tarmac is removed and that rough surface is exposed.
The speed limit along that stretch is 80 currently and is well indicated at regular intervals.
I was in the left lane, there was a car in front of me and 2 coaches in front of him, all travelling at 80.
There was a constant stream of vehicles in the outer lane travelling in excess of that limit.
I wonder how effective the grip is on that surface if someone needed to brake hard ?
Check out doing the 60 & 30 limits in Dunkettle, its a joke.
All that and that very selfish thing of not letting people out of side roads etc is also rampant .
I have to say I miss driving the roads during the pandemic it was great.
