Visitors impressed by ‘follow me’ driver

ON Friday, August 24, we lost our way to Douglas shopping centre in Cork. I was driving and when I realised I was in the wrong lane, I signalled apologetically with my hand to a driver in the other lane that I wanted to go in front of him.

Rather than the road rage I might expect back home, at the next set of lights the gentleman motioned to me to wind down my window, enquired where we were going, and then instructed us to follow him.

He went out of his way to take us right into the shopping centre car park, despite the fact that traffic was becoming extremely heavy and he was going to get stuck in it on his way back out.
