I have just returned to Dublin after a lengthy absence and frankly I am amazed at the antics of some drivers - it is shocking at just how poor the standard of driving on the roads is.
I have no issue with letting people out at junctions and would regard myself as a courteous driver. Poor I know but any journey now I find my blood pressure rising and I have to fight the urge to retaliate.
I am surprised there aren't more incidents because the provocation is getting out of hand - any journey now involves multiple cases of just poor/rube and aggressive driving and it is hard to resist the temptation to react.
The old blue licence in the North had the 3 C's on the back - Care, Courtesy, Consideration. Sadly these qualities seem very rare on the roads nowadays.
