My sister in law got hers via this scheme. 50 years on youāll spot the motor sideways taking up 2 or more spaces outside Tesco or the chapel with a clear exit passage. Iād be a firm believer sheās never used reverse gear in her lifetime.

Did you do the test in Leitrim?
That would have been about 35 year before they had a permanent traffic light in place woukd it?
Thatās about right give or take a year. The traffic light came in 2003 if memory serves me right.
I was up for a friendās 25th in 2007 in Drumshanbo/Carrick.
Cartown was hit hard, he was unimpressed that we want to see āthe traffic lightā though.
A girl in work said to me this evening that her father had to always reverse her elderly next door neighbours car. Like I meanā¦ 
My godmother god rest her got one of those licences back in the day and never drove a car in her life

I remember RTĆ news had a segment on that unveiling of the light
There is savage money to be made driving tour buses. There is some kind of cert you can get to be a tour guide as well and can do both. A fella told me you could have a bus full of 50 yanks for a week and youād be carrying the bags up to the rooms and answering all their stupid questions for the weekā¦but youād get 4 or 5k in tips for the week and youād get a right good summer out of it

My father got his by writing away for it. Can I have a licence please. Sure. And he could drive a truck a bus the works. Any wonder there were so many deaths on the road

Get a luxury car or van. Get the limo or Hackney licence and drive rich Yanks around the golf clubs of Ireland on their golf holidays.

Drive?
They all stay at the Manor now and get helicoptered around the country. The helicopter was going full belt all last weekend.
There are thousands of very rich millionaire yanks playing golf here every week that would be spending 10k on their trip and not getting the chopperā¦itās some racket.
When the yank tourists play on ballybunion for example the might pay 350 quid for the round and get an air tag on the bag and if they arenāt going around fast enough they will be asked to either speed up or skip a hole to keep the pace going 
youād be fair sick

Iād say that is a great idea. Bit of handy chat and your sorted. Brother lives in the states and I booked 4 days of golf for a few of his colleagues there last year ā¦ paid about a grand for 4 rounds they thought it was savage valueā¦they wouldnāt have thought twice if Iād taken another 500 quid a head off them for my commission

Huge. once in a lifetime trip for most.
There are only 250 links courses in the world. Only 5 or 6 of these in the states. At least 30 or 40 top class ones in Ireland . Itās like a different world for them
