It's hard to believe but I actually think that the driving on Dublin's M50 motorway is actually getting more dangerous now that the whole thing is a construction site.
They have put a 60km/h (that's about 40 mph) limit in place and have installed those GATSO speed cameras to try and slow people down.
But it's doing no good.
Every day when I drive in to and out from work I see just the craziest most stupid manoeuvres you could imagine. Some weeks back I even saw a car on its roof after the driver must have hit the crash barrier right slap bang in the middle of the roadworks or something.
What speed do you need to be going at to flip over onto your roof like that?
And this morning I noticed someone had taped on some flowers and a wreath to a bent-over post at the side of the motorway, a sure sign that someone had lost their life at that point on the road.
How much madder can this get?
I would love to know what's so wonderful that all these people need to get where they are going so fast and with such little regard for everyone else's safety.
