Part 1: Driving in Ireland
1. Drive on the left side of the road. In Ireland you always drive on the left side of the road. This can be confusing if you are from a country such as the USA where you would normally drive on the right. Repeat the mantra "hard left, hard right" to help you keep pace. This means you make a sharp left turn and a sharp right turn, which can help you remember where to drive.
2. Respect the right-of-way. At unmarked intersections, cars crossing from the right have the right-of-way. Otherwise, look for yellow signs with black markings. Thick lines indicate right-of-way ownership, while thin lines indicate less important roads.
3. Move for passing traffic. Ireland's two-lane highways are narrow. Cars may turn into the opposite lane to get past slow-moving cars. If you see a car in your lane trying to pass, it is often customary to move to the left to make room.
4. Do not look at your cell phone while driving. It is illegal in Ireland to hold a cell phone while driving. It is also usually dangerous to be on your cell phone while driving, so always keep your phone out of the way while driving.
5. Obey the speed limit. In Ireland, speeding is usually strictly regulated through mobile speed cameras. Pay attention to road signs indicating speed limits. As in any other country, speed limits can change rapidly. Typically, the speed limit in Ireland is 80 to 120 kilometers per hour. However, always drive with conditions in mind. If it rains or storms, you may have to drive below the speed limit.
Roads marked with an "M" are "freeways" or freeways. The speed limit on highways is usually around 120 kilometers per hour (75 miles per hour).
Roads labeled "N" are national primary and secondary roads. Normally, you can drive at about 100 kilometers per hour (62 miles per hour).
Roads labeled "R" are regional roads. The speed limit on regional roads is usually 80 kilometers per hour (49.7 miles per hour) or less.
6. Do not drink and drive. Drink driving is a very serious offense in Ireland. The legal limit is 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters (3.4 ounces) of blood. Usually, depending on your metabolism and weight, it is safe to drive if you have one or two drinks within a couple of hours. If you drink more than that, proceed with caution. It's safest to avoid driving completely under the influence of alcohol, especially if you're driving in unfamiliar places.
There are buses and metros available to you in all of Ireland's major cities. Use public **** transportation when drinking, not driving.
