We’re to speed kills? Yet it is legal to drive over 70mph on motorways. Who are these idiots who set these limits?
Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar has announced a major nationwide review to ensure that all speed restrictions are “both safe and sensible”.

EARLIER THIS WEEK, a new study revealed that performance in the Leaving Certificate was a strong indicator of how a person would do in college.
The final school exams are a rite of passage for a huge number of Irish people, although most don’t exactly have fond memories of studying for them.
In fact, many people often like to forget about them as soon as their results are in, although for others, their results are something that will always be stuck in the back of their mind.
So we’re asking: Do you remember how many points you got in your Leaving Certificate?

With 28 thumbs down against 2 up it just goes to show you the poor standard and lack of education on road safety on our roads. I commented that it is legal to drive over 70mph on certain stretches of motorways. You can do 74.5mph or 120kmh, obviously when it’s safe to do so.
