You know what really grinds my gears?

Call from O'Connell street Garda station today, wallet dropped in anonymously.

Nothing taken from it. Some good people actually out there, fair play to them. Will pay it forward obviously. Lotto ticket wasn't a winner sadly!

Amazing what Ballina people do to get out of paying for their round!

The amount of dog shit on footpaths.

Tell me about it, sometimes impossible for me to avoid in the chair

[lurganblue]

Waiting to turn right at lights and it turning red instead of going to the green arrow. Then having some aul bastid behind me dooting the car horn because I didn't break the red light. Then once I did move off I get a round of applause. Wasn't impressed

[Hardy]

You do know you're allowed to turn right on red after green if you're first in line and have taken your place forward (beyond the stop line) and right? You don't stay behind the line and wait for a green arrow if there's no green arrow.

[ardal]

I'd imagine that's nonsense. Should you have proceeded beyond the stop line without being able to complete the turn? As far as I understand it, it's OK to turn when you can get through the yellow junction / or compete the manoeuvre

[lurganblue]

Nope didn't know that. I thought as long as I wasn't blocking the flow of traffic from the other direction of the crossroad, which I wasn't, I'd have to wait for an opportunity on green or wait for the arrow

He didn't say anything about a yellow junction. I'd be amazed if there's a box junction when there's no filter light (unless there was one that wasn't working).

That's right (I'm not sure if there was a filter light - "arrow" - that didn't work or there was no arrow), but you wait for your opportunity on green, not behind the stop line, but in the turning right position. This is how it's put in the (Irish) Rules Of The Road:

• As soon as you can do so safely, take up a position just left of the middle of the road or in the space provided for right-turning traffic.
• Where possible, leave room for other vehicles to pass on the left.
• Do not turn the steering wheel until you are ready to make the turn.
• When a safe gap occurs in oncoming traffic, finish your turn so that you enter the left-hand side of the road into which you are turning.

If the safe gap doesn't occur when the light are green for you, it will by default when they go red and the oncoming traffic has to stop. You now have priority to turn before the traffic coming across you from right or left.

People (mainly men in my experience) who spit out on the street, especially where you are just about to walk. Seriously rank.
