Interesting statistic
Foreign nationals make up just nine per cent of the workforce, they account for 25 per cent of the deaths on Irish roads.
The solution is obvious, isn’t it? Just don’t allow foreign people to drive over here. I’m sure most of them come with a driving licence from their own country and just swap it for an Irish one. So when Władek or Dobrosław or Franciszek arrives here they should be banned from driving until they have lived here for at least one year.
Let’s face it, most of them arrive here with little or no English so reading road signs is nigh on impossible at first. They confuse ‘Clonmel 34km’ and think it means ‘Drive like a mad cunt around this corner’ or ‘Stop’ with ‘Plough into oncoming traffic’. As well as that most of them come from countries where they drive on the right so they’re just like cats.
If you have a cat and you move house you must keep your cat indoors for a period of time so that their internal radar/homing device reconfigures itself to their new location. It’s the same with Eastern Europeans. They’re coming over and not adjusting. They’re landing at Dublin airport, getting into a car and before you know it they’re involved in a massive accident. I’d suggest most of the time it’s caused by them driving on the wrong side of the road because they’re simply not reconfigured to Irish life. You wouldn’t let your cat out on the first night in your new home so why would you let a Polish or Latvian person drive as soon as they come to Ireland?
Seeing as they all get all kinds of benefits as soon as they arrive anyway some kind of discount travel card shouldn’t be too much of a problem for when some busy-bodies try and insist they need their cars to get to work. Once they, like a cat in a new house, have adapted to their environment then they can take an Irish driving test and if they pass it then they can have a car.
Surely, after seeing this statistic, nobody could argue that it wasn’t for the greater good and it’s not discriminatory, it’s simply common sense. These people can’t understand words without many Zs and Ks and very few vowels. It takes them time to get used to the complex nature of the English language. If we can decide that a person is too young to drive until they’re 17 it’s not racist to decide that a person is too foreign to drive until they can understand road signs and maps and other drivers hand gestures.
Of course I simply bought my driving licence many years ago from Counterfeit Conor. No test. No lessons. I just bought a car, bought my licence and away I went. Much easier and I have never once had an accident.
These days I drive an enormous SUV because they’re a major contributor to global warming and it’s fucking freezing in Ireland most of the time. I’m doing my bit for my fellow countrymen and women. Don’t all thank me at once.
