Know your limit
Grandad November 7th, 2010
As found on Irish roads -
60kmph limit on the main Dublin to Rosslare national route.
Compared to a limit in West Cork?
Fucking marvellous consistency?
And you wonder why I laugh at them?

And guess which one is going to get the new speed cameras,this cuntry is finished.
So, does this mean that West Cork drivers are safer and better drivers?
Nah! It just means they are better at seeing around corners.
i think the 60 kph limit at that point is to simply encourage tourists to admire sugarloaf
How many pints does it take to see around corners?
I find that that ability usually kicks in around the sixth pint.
Damn…you are a better man than I, Gunga Dinn.
Not necessarily. My driving abilities only start to improve after the eight pint.
They cant make their mind up in Clare. You can do a different speed depending on which side of the road you drive on.

(sorry I dont know how to put the picture here). Before you ask, the sign did not turn around as it says 80km on the other side of both poles
g’dad…8? Hell, I tried 6 beers one night and got a free night’s stay in the Crossbar Hotel.. Police have no sense of humor.
Surely the West Cork one should have a decimal point in front of the 8??!!
I rarely travel the 15miles home from my favourite pub without at least a gallon in me, and thats on two wheels.
I need the dutch courage to face the manic drivers who come against me; almost all are speeding and very few dip their headlights.
They’re not speed signs, just reminders of what the country owes. Goes up every time you turn a corner!
Maybe in West Cork the
kph signs refer to the maximum permitted speed of the cast iron balls they throw along the road during the summer road bowling season in that beautiful neck of the woods?
