Wrong-way driver comes to a violent halt

SOME months ago an incident occurred in Liffey Valley in Dublin showing how violence can appear in many apparently non-violent forms.

I was driving in the right direction down a parking lane when a young man in a ’08 car drove towards me in the wrong direction. I rolled down the window to reprimand him for this, and he immediately launched into a tirade of abuse.

I was basically told to “f**k off” and buy a decent car. As he had a new car, he said he could drive wherever he wished.
