Driven to distraction while home on holiday

HAVING recently completed a family visit to Mallow I am compelled to comment on Irish drivers and the dreaded Kinsale Road roundabout in Cork city.

Driven to distraction while home on holiday

It is no wonder that more than 300 people died last year in traffic related accidents given drivers' misbehaviour.

Overtaking, tailgating, constant use of cellphones at the wheel and, in a lot of cases, smoking while on the phone and all while driving stickshift vehicles. While I accept the fact that road traffic has increased greatly since I was last home in 1998, and local authorities are doing everything in their power to fast-track road improvements, there is no excuse for the type of driving I witnessed while on holiday.
