Bad habits are hard to break

Anyone who is out and about in Dublin city, especially at the busy commuter hours will know the law of the jungle rules.

I cycle to and from work most days during morning and evening rush hours. It is beyond wonder that there are not daily fatal accidents on the streets.

The behaviour of cyclists, especially the Deliveroo, Eats et al crew is something to behold.  And then the scooters. What do you call a person who rides a scooter? I presume a scooter too.  The behaviour of the cycling food deliverers and the scooters must be stopped. It is outlandish. Surely these companies should be held to account for what is happening. 

And then the cyclists on doctored electric bicycles, cycling at speeds over 40 km/h act in kamikaze style.

Pity the poor bus drivers, and they will tell you without hesitation a major disaster can’t be far away. 

And never a garda to be seen apprehending the law- breakers.

Pedestrians too are shameless and dangerous, crossing busy roads, while looking at their phones, crossing streets willy-nilly, not looking to see if traffic is approaching. 

Interesting to spot a young man in a flowing white garb, a Dominican habit, crossing O’Connell Bridge when the pedestrian light shows red.

What would St Dominic have to say to that?

Oops, there were no traffic lights in the time of St Dominic. Had there been, would Dominic have dressed as he did, doubtful.
