YOU WOULD WANT to have the patience of a saint driving in Ireland, wouldn’t you?

Here are just a few of the torments endured by Irish motorists.

1. When someone doesn’t return the ‘driving wave’

It’s just so hard not to take offence! *sobs*

2. Getting stuck behind a herd of sheep/cattle, or a tractor

A Mayo farmer was recently banned from driving for a year after causing a 100-car tailback on the Westport Road. A rather extreme example, but an example nonetheless.

3. Still having the old driving license

Too big for even the biggest wallet. Why, god, why?!

4. The windscreen wipers, they do nothing

Those flimsy plastic things are hardly a match for that particular brand of horizontal Irish rain.

5. Spending half your life on the M50, watching the world go by

Whoops!

And I will sit consumed with rage for the rest of the morning.

6. When there’s no appointments for your NCT until 2074

Just when you thought you’d be proactive and book it early. Typical.

7. When ‘some miserable bastard’ doesn’t let you out at the tricky junction

HOW DARE THEY.

8. When you forget to flash your hazard lights after someone lets you out

“What if they think I’M the miserable bastard?”

9. Endless fear of the breathalyser, even if you haven’t had a pint in two weeks

Even when the kindliest, dad-liest Garda asks you to do one, it’s as if you’ve done something terrible.
