The best drivers are clearly the sort who know nothing other than being limited to 50-52mph within a 100 mile radius, dropping trolleys at the same risk assessed store drops & calling the fire brigade when the tail lift breaks.
They always know best.
They usually know what pays the best rate per every hour they are at work and go home to sleep in their own beds after every shift after doing not much, so yeah i reckon they do know a fair old bit…

Yes, the Irish lads still look out for one another too, as do most other nationalities especially their working classes, i like that, something the English lost many years ago (brainwashed and bought out of them) and English working class people are worse off for it…i’m half Irish by the way so have no axe to grind here.
the cameradrie is definitely still there in Ireland…where else could you go out for a night on the tap.run out of money,strangers would buy you drink al night,when your bladdered and have no means of getting home,they would have no hesitation in inviting you home with them via the chinkys for a bit of grub,firing more drink into you,and when you chat them up a wee bit,take you to bed and plough your brains out,giving you a good breakfast and a few quid for a taxi in the morning…
personally ive never been in that situation,but my sister was on a night out in Dublin and she tells me that’s the way it works down there…
there are good and bad in all but from what I have seen Bulgarians are the worst by a mile (only joking dolph)
trouble is most people will comment without ever having driven in different countries and seeing what its like when the shoe is on the other foot so to speak.

I’ll let this one slide
You are absolutely correct, its very different, a big factors regarding driving are weather and culture. I have been to South America(Buenos Aires) and they drive like hell. No one care about rules of driving, not even city buses, passing on red light, screaming at each other, waving guns, not stopping at STOP sign, its crazy.
Now, guess how this very same drivers drive in US or UK
P.S. Bulgarians are very good drivers(regarding controlling/maneuvering vehicle) but MANY don’t respect road rules, they are reckless and think they are above the law. Im happy that they are not above the laws of physics!
Any nationality that is termed as a boat catcher racing to Stranaer, from the M6 exit via Dumfries and beyond, those fellas keep em lit, one speed ahead, flat out, some do not have speed limiters, any nationality leaving the ferry from Ireland going the other way, they could put Button and Hamilton on bottom place in the race.
They overtake on blind summits, around bends with no vision of what is coming towards them.
In the 90`s, the Portuguese drivers in Portugal were horrendous suicide merchants on a mission, a building firm stole millions to build a new road from the border in Spain to Averio on the Atlantic coast, it was called the IP 5.
Some drivers would risk brake fade and lean out of the cab door, in order to bail out at short notice.It would take all day to cover a short distance but the steep mountains were horrendous, the builders fled to Brazil, it was supposed to be tunnels and viaducts.
on the 75 or similar,then its usually never as bad as it seems for an outsider being overtaken…if your overtaking on a blind summit,or blind bend,then its usally because whoevers in the front shaking the bushes says its ok to go for it over the cb.mostly there correct,hence the cameradrie part works well enough.
Here is one idiot who don’t care about driving rules.
The Mercedes driver(49) ran a STOP sign and was smashed by bin lorry. Never play smart a$$ against lorry.
The guy is in ER.

first ever run my old man told me to listen to them - jesus they don’t mess about red corsa 2 - bang red corsa goes by 2 pull out and fly past you.
was easier to stop than get in the way and that was unit only/
