1. Under no circumstance should you maintain a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, because somebody else will fill in the space, putting you in an even more dangerous situation.
2. Never pass on the right when you can pass on the left. It's a good way to prepare other drivers entering the motorway.
3. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as a suggestion and are not enforceable in Ireland during rush hour.
4. Learn to swerve abruptly without signalling. Ireland is the home of high-speed slalom driving thanks to the Department of Public Works, which puts potholes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them alert!
5. It is tradition in Ireland to honk your horn at cars in front of you that do not move three milliseconds after the light turns green.
6. To avoid injury in the event of a collision or rollover, it is important to exit your vehicle through the windscreen right away. Wearing your seat belt will only impede your hi-velocity escape from danger.
7. WARNING! Never come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No one expects it and it will result in you being rear-ended.
