Start with enforcing the 30KPH limit on the quays first.
Constantly passed by FN's at 80-100KPH, there again I've no penalty points or rent to chase.

Swings and roundabouts, Octy. I get as many complaints as compliments for my observation of the rules of the road. Some don't understand how the fare is calculated so assume that I'm driving slowly to deliberately run up the fare, others are just in a hurry or impatient.

We're great at making laws in this country and not enforcing them.

Let the councillers and city officials spend their days colouring in maps with their crayons.  It'll keep them busy and stop them really fukking up the city.

As a Cork shopkeeper said in the newspaper the other day, 'he's never seen anyone cycle into the city to buy a pair of pillows'!

Which is kinda profound when you think about it.

Can you imagine a very busy 40yr housewife trying to raise two school kids cycling into town for a few bits and bobs?  Or their school uniforms, shoes, books etc.

One sure way of making a man driver slower is to ask him to speed up, Octy. Some clients seem to have a well founded expectation that taximen will ignore the rules of the road. They don't realise that, as professional drivers, we have a duty of care.

Duty of Care;

It's 6.52am of last Sunday morning that I pick up this lady on a MyTaxi job fom Cork city center, she asks to go to the Cork International Airport hotel and asks; "Do you know where the staff entrance is ? I'm in a hurry, I'm supposed to be there at 7", I tell her; "Yes, I know the staff entrance around the side to the left".
Along the way she is attempting to put on a Tie and making a bit of a Hames of it, so while stopped at the Magic Roundabout lights I show her how to tie a tie, 'Around, Through and Under'.

Along the way I ask the lady; "Have you ever heard of autonomous taxies ?", "Yes" she sez; "I work in that business".
"Well my dear girl, the next or First time you get an autonomous taxi, ask it; 'Does it know the staff entrance to your hotel ?' 'Ask it fer instructions on how to tie a tie ?' And most importantly ask it can it do a 12 minute taxi job in Six minutes flat ?".

I drop her at the staff entrance to the International hotel at 6.58am and TBF she did add the full maximum tip.

A 12 minute journey in 6 minutes?

It's all great fun 'till lives are lost or insurance premiums are tripled.

with the amount of fukking road works going on in Dublin for the last 6 years, its nearly impossible to speed . every where you go in this God forsakin city there is road works. im thinking of going into a home for the bewildered because of it
