Driving while even moderately dehydrated could put you in the same risk category as someone on the drink-drive limit.
The current heatwave makes research into the link between dehydration (even a mild form of it) and concentration by Loughborough University hugely relevant.
It found that drivers who took just 25ml of water an hour made twice the number of mistakes compared with those who took enough liquid.
The findings, published some time back, have since prompted experts to say that dehydration is an unrecognised danger for drivers. The increase in errors due to driver dehydration was found to be similar to what would have been the case if someone was driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Increased driving errors included dangerous lane drifting and late braking - a sure sign of diminished concentration.
It is a timely, if slightly bizarre, reminder to all drivers during these heatwave days, with scorching temperatures forecast, that if you don't drink enough water you are likely to drive as badly as if you've consumed too much alcohol.
So get those water bottles on board.

I reckon sunglasses are the biggest cause of bad driving in this weather.When I used to drive the motorbike and some gobshite pulled out on top of me they were always wearing sunnys.Whenever I've worn them in the car I can't make out fuk all in me mirrors and my eyesight is perfect.
We probably should be wearing those yellow tinted ones the military use for driving.They don't look cool but if yer wearing cheap sunnys all they do is reduce yer visibility and make everything darker.
Also folks drving without air con to save a few cents doesn't help.
-
If you have to waste all this good weather working be careful. I read that the roads are melting in some parts of the country.
-
Believe it or not rats I was in kilkenny last night at a Ronnie oSullivan v Mark Allen snooker exhibition and on the way home they were gritting the roads???
Apparently it had to be done because the roads were melting and the grit was spread on it to give you some grip.
-
I believe it, Tony. It was reported in the Indefuckinpendent, I think. If it's in the papers it must be true!
-
It's busy out here if you can stand the heat.
-
A/c in my car, bleeding deadly it is.
MyTaxi were giving out free bottles of water yesterday
-
Bad for the lungs... but then, I guess breathing petrol and diesel fumes all day doesn't help.

I read a report of some queer bashing down your way, Tony. Apparently a "man" got a smack of a hurley when he tried to defend his "husband".

??? Ar all the drivers in the George?
-
I read another report of a "man" with a "husband" given a slap on the wrist for possession of child pornography, in Galway if memory serves... leaving him and his "husband" free to adopt Children. Maybe abortion on demand isn't such a bad thing.
-
Every time I hear that term HIS husband or HER wife it makes me want to throw up.I will NEVER use the word marriage in the context of queers being together

So there is Homophobia and Homosexuality.

I tell ya the world is gone fukking mad.and if you say anything about it,you will have the fukking LGBT crowd all over ya like a rash.as a nation,we need to cop on,and subscribe to the great Donald Trump way of thinking

Yeah some Taxi driver's don't know what areas stickers they have on the roofie,
Woolly backs coming in form foreign Counties some as far as laoise not even a neighbour County,
Where is it going to end.
Just sayin
-
All true S class,but how can you prove it ?
-
I regularly park on the little rank outside PWC on north wall hoping to get something coming off the boat resteruant.its a waste of fukking time though.Im sitting there,and a queue of illegally parked cunts right outside the boat.people hust wont cross the road to the offical rank
-
Why not just rank illegally yourself DM

Nothing strange there fer you SClass, post up a comment and then run and hide
when others post about it, about par fer the course !

If'n ya cant beat em, then join em !
-
Thats whats wrong with this industry.I have always said I aspire to work in a fully legal,fully professional,industry consisting of full time drivers only.the fact that there is so much illegal practice going on in it does not fill me with optimism.none of this illegal parking is being properly addressed by the authorities.just look at the bully boy tactics being employed by a certain cab company whos drivers continue to illegally stand for hire in the car parks of many Dublin hotels the enforcement are well aware of this,but have failed to take decisive action against this
-
Sure didn’t you use to rank outside The Yacht in Clontarf DM??? Double fucking standard fucker
-
Fraid your wrong there,I do not rank illegally outside ANY pub,club,or anywhere else im not supposed to be
-
I call UTTER BULLSHIT DM.
Heck I’ve even spoken to you outside that place. Good few years ago now it might be, maybe your memory isn’t all it was or something
-
Well since ive never declared on this forum my name or who I am,I find it amazibg that you could cone to such a conclusion.also it would not be my style to engage drivers in conversation,as I tend to keep myself to myself
-
Well I doubt there’s is 2 Bohs fans out there that hate the EU with a passion, hate all the foreigners and double jobbers(with a passion) hates illegal rankers(but used to do it himself) but has no problem buying products from Engerland or Northern Ireland and not being very patriotic when they claim they are patriotic(but won’t support Irish Sports)

Im no snow white Ken,I do not illegally stand for hire anywhere,and I challenge any driver to prove otherwise
-
Did you drive a Skoda Superb??
-
Can I take it then that you approve of drivers stealing work from others who are trying to play by the rules ?
-
I drive a toyota avensis
-
No I don’t DM, and I hate seeing illegal ranks very close to legal ones.
Sometimes I’d love to own a ballaclava, and some very dark clothes and just slice all the types of cars illegal tanking.
Still ain’t answered my question or have I proven i know enough, I asked DID you drive a superb, as in before the avensis?
-
Well since you appear to know what I had for my breakfast,im surprised your even asking such a question.im afraid you have the advantage ,because I have no recolation of having spoken to you,or any other driver.my only involvement with the yacht is,that I go there quite a lot for food,and have done for years,and still do occasionally
-
I've no clue what you had for breakfast, but it was probably museli or fruit and fibre[emoji41][emoji41]
Don't be getting your knickers in a knot over it.
I know you, you know me(maybe)

The " im alright fuck you "culture was
Imported by the immigrant driving taxis.....
We we'r told it's a cultural ting and to try understand it..wer they come from they are as corrupt as fuk and have to put a chastity belt on their mot wen the go the shops or give her female circumcision so she doesn't enjoy it anymore..... . I remember the immigrant used to reverse into the front of legal ranks wen they came here first......
That cultures become our culture now because the rules have changed unofficially...... And the officials don't give a Bollix or 2 flying fuks about you anyway and only care about their own jobs anyway so it's sink or swim....
If you don't get that and HAVNT been able to let go....... Your bringin stress on yerself and there's more and more fukin taxis down the bog workin Dublin everyday......
Your only scum dirt to the state...... Even the junkies and alcos get free gaffs and handouts like the immigrant..... And you sittin on a rank lookin at them snatchin gettin blood pressure........
Wat you goin do????
-
How many ranks are gone out of Dublin now... Scrapped or put Down sidesreets we'r nothing is happening?
-
Other side of the green deleted
Shellbourne rank deleted
Dawson rank deleted
Molesworth deleted too I think
Molly Malone rank deleted
Westmoreland rank as good as deleted
Gresham shifted but now has less footfall
Fosters soon?
-
All true S class,but how can you prove it ?
Because I was parked in front of him
-
I rarely bother ranking these days, cruising with mytaxi on works better for me. The only ranks I work are the unofficial ones in Swords after midnight Fri and Sat, McDonalds Unofficial (00:01-01:00), Cafe Bar Unofficial (01:01-02:45) and Venue Unofficial (02:46-close)... when I bother working after midnight Fri/Sat, that is.
What do you thing of the sign on the Harry Byrnes Unofficial requesting drivers to behave themselves, DM?
-
I think Fullerton needs to do his job and inform the management of this establishment that no taxi rank exist in the place where drivers commonly stand for hire outside this premises.I also think the Gardai should be informed about the traffic violation being caused by this illegal behaviour
-
I thought that sign was gone outside harry Byrnes.....?
Anyway yu never see a seagull Quein outside Beshoff....

I'm the same as you Rats, I work MyTaxi mainly before midnight and work the un-officials after midnight.
The Gardai don't care about the un-official ranks after midnight, all they want is the drunks in the taxies
and out of town.

You're no fool, Octy. The real fools are those who take themselves seriously both here and in real life. It's all a game.
Read this morning about some transgender fella in America who decided he no longer wanted to be a woman. Gas thing about these lunatics is they have seriously good jobs and access to top advice..............injecting kids with hormones because they want to be trans is ok.........but they complain about hormones being injected into their beef and chicken???? The fools are the ones who think this all ok.

Dunno what should concern us most... the fact that a child could have picked it up or the fact that the Emergency Response Unit, having seen it fall out of their boot, were unable to respond quick enough to recover it from a member of the public who was happy to return it? Maybe we (the general public) shouldn't return the firearms they lose, they clearly can't be trusted with them.
-
I read a comment on the journal which made the point that it can be difficult to hold an ice cream and a machine gun at the same time in this heat wave.Another suggested that particular Garda be issued with a wooden gun..
I've seen those ERU units up close and the guns are stored in what look like tool cabinets with drawers and everything.I've also seen those Audi Q7s being driven like General Lee with the tires off the ground at high speed. The speed bump story seems far-fetched.Thanksfully we don't have more Gardai with access to weapons.
What the fuk are they doing in Q7s anyway? What a waste of taxpayer moneys.I was dropping off a passenger outside Diceys in the day time and that jeep could barely squeeze past my little Prius.Dublin is too small for those footballers wives jeeps.
-
Yea there was a British reg jeep sittin behind me last nite an couple the blokes got out...... Huge cunts like James bond in suits only more scary..... The guns we'r visible on them..... Must of bean over for harry Potter and his mot.....
Ide say the Irish yokles guards we'r carrying extra guns in case or to show off..... Wen we we'r playing cowboys and Indians we only ever had one bow and arrow
