Today I got my car back from the garage. It was in for repair. Long story.
I picked it up at 5 PM and by 6 PM it was filthy, courtesy of the muck and general crap splattered onto the side of it by all the trucks speeding up and down the roads near where I live.
I thought we had a law that requires all trucks leaving building sites to have their tyres cleaned before driving onto the road system.
If we don't have such a law then we sure as hell need one.
If we do have such a law then clearly it enjoys the same degree of respect as most other road-related laws in Ireland.
I will probably wash my car at the weekend. No doubt it will then rain, and I shall have the misfortune to drive past a speeding truck which will splatter mud all over my car again.
Are cars in Ireland the dirtiest in Europe? I think so.
p.s. That's not me or my car in the picture... as the saying goes "for illustrative purposes only".
