I don't have a problem with Irish people, just stupid women like your self, first you should be at home with the kids, of course that is if you are not a lemon....2nd I am living here in the South of France, although thinking of returning to the UK, I earned enough to come here, listening to you though makes me wonder do I want to return....
It is a fact, Many of the Irish trucks are not limited, and they drive like we use to , but anybody with sense knows a 38 tonner travelling at 70-80mph is a danger to all and not good for the enviroment...
As for Cafe's I never use them I am frightened I would run into big fat women truckers, possibly like yourself, also not good for the heart (the food that is)..
Lastly, I use to work 55-60 hrs a week start a 4.00, finish at 16.00 (4.00 for you)if you want those hours you are welcome, since been in France, it has made me realise there is more than work than life, I am not one for insults, and I think on that note I will sign off...

Brad whilst I agree with your point, it is the same for all of us, surley it is more important to be safe, thes big trucks are not toys, hence the reason the european tell us 56 mph is the maximum we can drive, safety is more important than profit...
if a company can not survive on the current conditions then they shouldn't be in business...the bosses arn't bothered who gets killed just who will take the load out next day..

dont you ever take the piss out of us Irish, i think they can drive faster as they can handle it more than you English drivers, you english hgv drivers are just *****'s and cant handle your load, your only interested in the big fat fry up you will get at them horrible cafe's along the roadside, so there, bet youre sitting in your cab right now on your wireless laptop!

They frequently like Bus Drivers in the course of the Day, at evening time each and every now and then there's a difficulty. In a particular part of Tallaght a city 11 Miles from Dublin city Drivers were Picked on, and there Buses were Stoned and they have been beaten up.each and every now and then because of problem the Bus in basic terms is going so a ways because the sq. after 8 in evening and no further. there has been problem in the previous in different parts of Dublin like Ballyfermot and Finglas yet now those parts have calmed down and are quiet for Years now. all the different parts in the city are all excellent. Limerick could have problem besides, IT has received the unsavoury nickname of Stab city because of the team warfare,and Shootings by certain households enthusiastic about drugs Turf Wars, notwithstanding they go away the Busworkers on my own until eventually you're in the way. I havent heard something about Cork they look very constructive down there. i recognize I paint a gloomy photo about the country notwithstanding it isn't that undesirable,that's surely very constructive position to stay ,very pleasant. yet like everywhere in the international it does have some situations of problem in certain situations. After awhile you commence to get a touch bit street Credibility and ought to smell out problem even as it is going to commence. that's a similar with any new u . s . a . or city ,you ought to experience the Vibe. solid success in eire.

If you have an Irish licence you won't get points in the UK and visa versa, you can come over here a speed, the law is changing but not yet...the Irish Gardi can do nothing if you've a UK licence.

I watched a program about how many hours lorry drivers do, and how theirs more work than drivers so i expect their trying to get more done to make more money!
