Do you know how much the French public transport system is financed by taxes and government subventions which allows for low fares? Over 55% in Paris alone. Dublin Bus as a direct comparison received less than 41% in 2011 and even less in 2012. In fact, public transport in Ireland receives...

Nothing to do with being parked illegally, you/your wife was using your car in a public place without valid motor tax. What's the problem? It is up to the owner of the vehicle to ensure that it is taxed at all times if being used.

You said... and I am well able to read posts and always read in full. I am saying that using a mobile phone while driving is a major issue.

Having your phone stuck to the side of your head while talking is one issue, taking your eyes off the road and your complete attention to read and reply to a text message is a whole other kettle of fish. It just seems to me that some people on here, including yourself, do not see this as a...

Keep all doors closed at all times Put heavy curtains on windows and tuck in behind rads Do not obstruct rads with chairs or clothes Insulate attic (including attic door) and any copper pipes Fit insulation strips on widows and external doors to stop any drafts. Fit draft excluder at...

RSA provided the 20-30% estimate.. the rest is added by me. As I said no data is collected by the Gardaí so it is impossible to give a correct breakdown of this figure.

It seems that data in relation to crashes has never been collected properly by Gardaí. http://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/motors/garda%C3%AD-to-record-drivers-use-of-phone-at-time-of-crash-1.1508131 The RSA estimate that 20-30% of all collisions are caused by distractions such as the...

Why?

How is the use of a mobile phone a minor offence? It is a very serious and dangerous offence - far worse than speeding* (in my opinion). If you are caught without an NCT certificate and are brought to court and convicted, it is an automatic 5 points, no matter what condition your vehicle is in...

Increase penalty points to say 6 (two hits and you are out) and conduct regular unmarked patrols. From my observations of drivers in Dublin, men are the main culprits when it comes to talking on the phone while driving, but women are by far the worst culprits for using facebook/messaging while...

It depends on what the fault is. Usually it is a case of just resetting that particular sensor by deleting the fault code on diagnostics. Did you change tyres or brakes recently or have any work done on tracking/alignment?

This is a warning that the traction control or DSC (dynamic stability control) has been turned off and is no longer active. This one is to do with the handbrake. Advice is to bring car to a reputable garage as soon as possible and get them to run a diagnostic check on it. One common...

A guarantee is in addition to your consumer rights. http://www.nca.ie/nca/faulty-goods Does your car have a dpf?

The best advice is to contact [broken link removed] and ask them.

Did you....... A. Report the driver to Gardai? B. Report the driver to Bus Eireann? C. Ask driver to stop talking on phone while driving?

Jump on a ferry to Holyhead or an Aerlingus flight to the UK with your driving license

the bus market was said, not Bus Eireann routes. Dublin Bus for example operate on loss making routes.

And what happens when companies pick and choose routes and ignore some of the 'not profitable' or 'dodgy' routes? What about the commuter then?

A director who has resigned cannot sign a B10. It can only be signed by current directors or secretary of the company. As already stated, it is a form that the Company must submit, not a person who has resigned.

AutoKey on Naas Rd, Dublin is another option http://www.autokey.ie/ No affiliation
