    Why not a bright yellow color for all cars, but a bright orange color for all cars where the driver is drunk or stoned?

    Ireland has a big infrastructure problem, that’s for sure. If you live anywhere between Limerick and Dublin, well good luck getting around without a car. It’s amazing how a country that’d be in an ideal position to have year round acceptable temps for cycling, barely any hills to speak of, and no extreme weather excuses either to keep up transit infra, is so regressive that they chose to go the route of 70s North America instead of becoming a second Netherlands or Denmark.

    They actually have more problems. For example look at its population. It never recovered after the great famine. And they always whine about one thing or another. But they do anything except for the right thing to actually attract young people wanting to have children.

    The whole country outside of four urban centres is an absolute nightmare if you don’t drive, and just not conductive to establishing a family anywhere.
