More people in the south don't know how to drive on Motorways.

Driving one motorways is the simplest form of driving, you could hardly fail not to know it. What you mean is that many selfish c***ts suit themselves whatever the effect on everyone else.

Some genuinely don't know how to use the lanes.
I've seen people merging onto to motorway and veer straight across to the middle lane and sit there, even though there's nothing ahead of them on the inside lane.

Again, you are taught to drive on the left, they just do that for their own convenience.

I quite liked the old N roads in the south where slower drivers would pull over to facilitate overtakes. Not the safest setup, but it seemed to promote a sense of cooperation among drivers.

Southerners 100% don't understand roundabouts. I think a lot of it is down the to the older generation being allowed to motor about for years without having passed their test.

Does that not still happen? Most of my Free State driving is in Donegal so maybe its just them being behind the tomes as usual?

Yeah, love that.

It still happens especially in wide roads in Donegal, say the main Derry to Letterkenny road.  Although I'm always paranoid passing as I think they'll do a mad sverve out.

I think it's good manners but bit dodgy from the safety point of view.

Funny you mention that I had it on the Letterkenny to Derry road yesterday but ignored it, as you say I was wary of them pulling back out.

There are few single carriageway busy national primary roads left, routes to Galway, Limerick, Waterford etc have all been replaced by motorway.

I see the South as better infrastructure, better Health, more multi cultural, more laid back, more tolerant and much more wealthier.
I see the North as more bigotry/sectarian, more resilient, better footballer's & less diverse...Ohh & better Tayto

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea
