It’s actually mental. If you had a grudge with someone you’d be better off hitting them with your car than an iron bar.

He said Kearns was under a serious misapprehension that his driving was not reckless but added that his low cognitive skills were a factor in him not appreciating the gravity of his offending

Thick ignorant Cunt in other words. A useless little bollocks who we wouldn’t miss had it been him who died.

Does this actually work on Ireland?

Yeah definitely on main roads. Comes in handy especially with crashes

Waze works fine here and is much better than Google Maps. :+1:

What does it have that Google maps doesn’t have because I’d find it hard to fault Google maps

Waze is outstanding. I’d never go back to google maps after it. The checkpoint thing is excellent and brilliant for motorway driving. It’s use has grown exponentially over the last couple of years and you’d see it being used on secondary roads a lot now too

It encourages you to be a scofflaw?

I find it outstanding to let me know where accidents are so I can get ready to rubber neck

Just remember it’s been 100% built and developed out of Israel. And still maintained from there I believe

Oh no, is it really from Israel? That’s just ruined my day.

Have used it before and as has been said, great on motorways. But didn’t know the Israel link so it’s a delete for me.

It’s not even just the checkpoint thing, other hazards get logged on it as well. I remember being alerted to the carcass of an extremely large badger ahead on the M7 near the Moneygall exit a couple of years back - thanks to Waze I was prepped to take the necessary avoidance measures.
