Dangerous driving.
Thoughts:
So, you're driving around Castletroy while on the phone. Instant 2 points please, Garda. You need a fine to help educate you. You obviously care little about authority as you can barely see out your side window because of the large DON'T PARK HERE sticker. You are a) stupid; b) totally ignorant; c) totally selfish and don't care about anyone else on the road.

Dangerous driving.
Thoughts:
So, you're driving along the Corbally road out of Limerick, and you see someone halfway across a zebra crossing with a small child. You decide to drive straight through the crossing, forcing the poor parent to grab their child to prevent them being killed by the front of your car. You are a) dangerous; b) very dangerous; or c) totally selfish and quite prepared to disregard the rules of the road to the extent that you are prepared to play chicken with a child in your 1 tonne metal killing machine, you coward and bully.
Location:
Driving on Corbally road past petrol station near Grove Island.

Selfish driving.
Thoughts:
So, you're cruising along in the overtaking lane with a big queue of cars behind you waiting to pass. You refuse to pull in, perhaps because it threatens your ego? You are a) stupid; b) unaware that the outside lane is an overtaking lane, not a "fast lane", and need to read a copy of the rules of the road; c) totally selfish and don't care about anyone else on the road.

Category:
Dangerous driving.
Thoughts:
So, you're driving in perfectly clear weather in the morning darkness with your rear foglight on blinding everyone behind you. These lights are labeled "high intensity" for a reason, as they are designed to only be used in dense fog. Seeing as you don't seem to care about other road users, maybe you can be persuaded via direct selfishness instead. Do you realise that this is endangering you also? Having your foglights on means no-one behind can tell when you are braking, and you are more likely to be rear-ended. But there's more... You then decide to perform a 3-point turn on a dual-carriageway despite the oncoming traffic. On the plus side, we all then got a rest from your glaring foglights. You are a) stupid; b) ignorant of the rules of the road; c) totally selfish and don't care about anyone else on the road.

Thoughtless driving.
Thoughts:
So, you're driving along in the buslane in the evening in the dark and rain. You have no lights on, and you're driving a black car (you moron). You see a big puddle ahead, right beside a pedestrian. What do you do? You drive straight through the puddle, completely soaking the pedestrian. You are a) completely selfish; b) nasty and cruel; c) a complete moron; d) all of the above.
Location:
Buslane past the Corrib Hotel in Galway.

Stupid driving.
Thoughts:
So, you're driving on to the Headford roundabout out of the Supermacs carpark exit. You notice (or do you?) that the lights are green for other traffic on the roundabout, but you decide to cruise slowly in a diagonal across all 3 lanes of this oncoming traffic and then stop with the rear of your car blocking the outside exit lane off the roundabout causing a concertina effect of panic braking behind you of at least 20 cars. You are a) stupid; b) half-blind; c) totally selfish and don't care about anyone else on the road.
Location:
Driving out of a carpark onto the Headford Roundabout in Galway.

Black Mercedes CLK
Category:
Dangerous driving.
Thoughts:
Picture the scene. You are parked in a petrol station, and you see a car coming on the main road, doing about 90 kmph. There is a slip lane for you to use, but no, you decide to pull directly out in front of the car driving at less than 30 kmph, and then decide not to accelerate, but to just block the road and force the other car to brake violently to avoid you. You also veer in a diagonal across the path of the other car as it swerves to avoid you, forcing it across into oncoming traffic, and come to a halt half in the turning-right lane at the crossroads 30m up the road. Why did you do this? I don't know. You're obviously not in a hurry, so why not just wait until the road is clear? You must be a) a complete moron, b) half-blind, or c) someone so wrapped up in their own self-importance because you drive a Merc that you saw the oncoming traffic and said to yourself "F@*k him". And it's only a base-model CLK in any case, a small hatchback that looks like a Megane but has a silly emblem on the bonnet (that emblem cost you maybe €10,000? Sucker!).
