Theres a lot of very bad drivers or people with no driving craft commenting here. Do all ye muppets just cos the sign says 100kmh that ye must do it. What about when it snows what do ye do then. If ye are looking for leo to legislate for speed signage he cant. The eu regulated the speed of cars on a general basis across the eu. Brussels takes it for granted that we have the same road standards as the rest of the eu & if we dont they want to know where all the structural funds went. Stop asking these pr##ks to give more legislation on the roads. There is enough of it. When i hear i saves peoples lives im fit to burst. If you want to remove all risk of death & injury dont go out on the roads. Most people in this cant drive but are never prosecuted for bad driving or get points on their license so more legislation will only impact on the regular road users which make them the most experienced. We have the worst drivers in Europe mo road.craft

THERE HAVE BEEN renewed calls for mandatory warnings on wet wipes, over concerns some brands are labelled as “flushable” despite the damage they can cause to the environment.
The European Commission has listed wipes among the single-use plastics that will come under specific rules – but there is nothing to say that users should be told about the environmental damage they cause.
Irish MEP Deirdre Clune told TheJournal.ie that the rules should go further and that products should warn consumers if they’re bad for the environment.
So we’re wondering: Should products come with a warning if they damage the environment?
