I’m looking out of my window at the ice covered main coast road from Dun Laoghaire Harbour to Blackrock. It has been like that since New Years Eve. The Blackrock bypass is in the same condition.
This is the first road HSS passengers use when they disembark in Dun Laoghaire. It is also one of the busiest roads in the land.
RTE news reports treacherous road conditions throughout the land, but they fail to mention the lack of gritting. Are we once again being failed by our public servents? If not who is responsible for this lack of public service responsibility?
Please take care on these roads, leave a greater gap to the car in front, avoid 1st gear, anticipate and avoid sudden or severe breaking.
Good luck in 2010, drive safely and keep your cars updated, thus avoiding an even bigger cost to replace the car in future years. Talk to your local garage before this government’s policies forces the garage out of business.
