You should be travelling on the inside lane on the motorway ie the left lane, the outside lane is for overtaking. On a roundabout left lane for turning left and straight, right lane for turning right and always yield to the right.

Very good video - I'm a former driving instructor and live on the West cost of Ireland....! A few tips for you that will also help....! Approaching roundabout - check the signs on approach for your exit - treat it as a clock face - if your exit is on the left or straight ahead you should approach in the left lane - if your exit is on the right of 12 o'clock approach on the right - check road for lane arrows to correspond with your exit - Signal right if your exit is on the right - left if it is on the left - no signal for straight ahead - but always signal left when you pass the last exit before yours - always give way to traffic from the right on approach - unless roundabout is controlled by lights....! White lines - Double white do not cross or overtake - Single solid white mine also means it's not safe to overtake and found often on rural roads...! - Broken white lines - overtaking allowed - if it is safe to do so - longer gaps means less hazardous stretch for overtaking - shorter gaps mean more hazardous for overtaking....! General driving - drive on the left unless you are overtaking or turning right - on roads with more than one lane - the right is for overtaking - once you have completed overtake return to the left lane....!

As an Irish person, I can say that this is all solid advice, and fair. Only thing is, traffic enforcement is often done by unmarked cars (looks like a civilian vehicle but has concealed blue lights). So you won't ever notice them unless they are pulling someone over. Also speeding is policed by automated camera systems in vans (usually concealed from view until it's too late) or mounted on bridges etc. If you are in a rental, the speeding ticket will be waiting for you when you drop off and you will still never have seen a police car (Police are called Gardaí). Parking varies from town to town. Many towns have wardens who are very quick to hunt down and ticket illegally parked cars. In more rural villages, you may get away with bad parking but in the larger cities, you have an extremely high chance of being clamped or towed away. Irish people generally drive carefully, always wear seatbelts and never under the influence because the penalties are severe (both monetary and via penalty points), and due to the effect of having penalty points on insurance costs. I think that you've made assumptions about policing because you didn't see marked cars anywhere, but if you are a visitor, don't ruin your stay by being fined because you thought there was a casual attitude.

Some friendly advice! Like many American tourists, I see that you are driving in the overtaking lane on the motorway (what you call Highway) even when you are not overtaking. To avoid being the victim of some serious road rage, pull into the inside lane when not overtaking!! Also, it's illegal and you can be fined for this.

Tip1: If you cant thank a driver for yielding you because you are driving away from them, or simply going the opposite direction, toggle your hazards on for a few seconds then off. This will let the other driver know you're thanking them from a distance. Tip2: In a roundabout, if cars are waiting to enter the roundabout, but you are going to drive past them instead of taking the exit, sometimes especially on big roundabouts with multiple exits, it is common to turn the blinker facing the roundabout's center as in a way to tell drivers you are not exiting the roundabout yet. Same as you should ALWAYS use your blinkers to signal that you intend to exit the roundabout. Tip3: Because of narrow roads, especially on 2 way roads, truck drivers will sometimes stick to the left so you can see the incoming traffic, and even use a hand gesture telling you that it´s safe to overtake them. Tip4: Some times pedestrians will not cross the road and yield cars with hand gestures, it is completely up to you to let them pass or not. In my opinion and following the traffic law, I always let them pass no matter what, as some times they indicate you can pass but another ped is crossing from the opposite side, and if you don't spot them you may run them over. (Especially kids) Hope this helps, drive safe!

@gezley100

No such thing as a fast lane. Outside lanes are for overtaking. First rule of the road - drive on the left. That means move back to left-hand side of road as soon as possible after overtaking. If that's not practical -- because traffic in the inside lane is bunched up, for example, as it often is, illegally so -- then continue overtaking inside-lane traffic. Do not just drift in the outside lane.

The 'Fast Lane' - what is that??? On a 4 lane motorway, there are two lanes in any one direction - the traffic lane is on the left and the overtaking lane is on the right. On a 6 lane motorway, there are three lanes in any one direction - they are named from left to right, Lane 1, Lane 2 and Lane 3. Lane 1 is the traffic lane, Lane 2 is the first overtaking lane & Lane 3 is the second overtaking lane. If there's continuous slow traffic in Lane 1, you may remain in Lane 2 until Lane 1 becomes clear again thus allowing you to move back in while maintaining your speed. Lane 3 is for overtaking any slower vehicles in Lane 2 which happen to be overtaking even slower vehicles.

Ireland is beautiful! Best tip for getting around in your rental car: rent THE TINIEST car you can! The jaw dropping beauty of the scenic routes is best enjoyed when you don't have to worry about squeezing your car between oncoming trucks & buses on one side and the ever present rock walls on the other. We were so happy when we rented a Camry sized auto-- until our side mirror broke away & soon after had a flat tire from trying to keep from being hit by an oncoming lorry -- then we wished we could have rented something MUCH much smaller. It would have been so much more fun in a tiny car!!

I have my driving license for decades, and drove in many dozen countries (always on the right side). Within the first 20 minutes of driving in Ireland, I shaved of my left side mirror. Some advice from my side, especially when you rent a car: The difficulty does not lie in sticking to the left side of the road. The biggest challenge is to judge the distance between your vehicle and obstacles on the left side. I felt like a total driving beginner again, making sure I don´t leave the lines on the left. Try to rent a car that´s smaller/ more narrow than your current car. And last not least, do get this extra insurance! It will do a lot to ease your mind in this new experience.

It is possible that the custom of driving on the left dates back to pre-history and may later have been used as an early road safety measure. At a time when the main danger on the roads was mugging, careful travellers would pass on-coming strangers on the left with their sword arm towards the passer-by. The keep left rule did not become law in Britain until the increase in horse traffic made some sort of enforcement essential. Before this, the drivers of coaches leaving London for the country simply chose the firmest part of the road. The main dates for the introduction of the legal requirement to keep left are: 1756 - London Bridge 1772 - Towns in Scotland 1835 - All roads in Great Britain and Ireland. In Europe, Pope Boniface VIII instructed pilgrims to keep to the left in the year 1300. Later, class distinction in France meant that aristocrats drove their carriages on the left side of the road forcing everybody else over to the centre or to the right-hand side. Keeping left had really only ever applied to riding or driving. With the onset of the French Revolution in 1789 and the subsequent declaration of the rights of man in 1791 many aristocrats decided to keep to the ‘poor side’ of the road so as not to draw attention to themselves. Keeping to the right of the road was also seen as a way of defying the earlier Papal decree. The subsequent Revolutionary wars and Napoleon’s European conquests led to the spread of driving on the right to Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. Napoleon ordered his armies to use the right-hand side of the road in order to avoid congestion during military manoeuvres. The nations that resisted invasion - Britain, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Russia and Portugal - generally kept to the left. The Netherlands changed to driving on the right in 1795, but Dutch colonies in the Far East ( Indonesia ) continued the old practices. Denmark had not been invaded by the French but changed in 1793. Russia did not switch until 1916. Czechoslovakia and Hungary were the last countries in mainland Europe to keep left, only changing to the right following invasion by Germany in the late 1930s. Portugal made the change from left to right in the 1920s; countries with border crossings found there was great confusion if drivers were required to change sides of the road when passing from country to country. Sweden remained on the left until 1967 and changed to the right following a lengthy road safety campaign. In Austria from 1805 to 1939 half the country drove on the left whilst the other half, the area that had been invaded by Napoleon, drove on the right! Most of the British Empire adopted the British custom of driving on the left although Egypt, which had been conquered by Napoleon, kept using the right after it became a British dependency. Pakistan considered changing from left to right in the 1960s,The main argument against was that camel trains often drove through the night while their drivers dozed,The difficulty in teaching old camels new tricks was a decisive factor in Pakistan rejecting the change. Canada stayed on the left until the 1920s. During the American War of Independence, French liberal reformer General Lafayette gave advice to the revolutionary forces and spread the idea of driving on the right. The keep right rule was applied to the Pennsylvania turnpike in 1792, New York in 1804 and New Jersey in 1813. Bucking the normal trend, the Pacific island of Samoa made the switch from driving on the right to driving on the left side of the road on 7 September 2009. The official reason given was so as to fall in line with near neighbours Australia and New Zealand which, like Britain, still drive on the left.

Australian here. I visited the UK back in 2018, never got to Ireland but I'm sure it's very similar. Had a car for three weeks and became very good at squeezing it through very tight spaces. Have also driven all over the US three times and on the last trip in 2015, almost had a head-on crash, for obvious reasons. Amazed that could happen after so much time on the RHS of the road. The lesson - NEVER let your guard down.

This was a helpful video for us, but the best advice we got on driving was from two cab drivers. When turning always think "Short Left, Wide Right." As for keeping left always think "Passenger in the Ditch." Though they used another word for passenger. Other funny note. Many cars had a big "N" or a big "L" in the window. N for "new" driver, just got their license. Or "L" for Learner. Thanks for this video it really helped.

'N' for novice, newly passed driving test and under probation for two years. 'L' is leaner, for those on a provisional licence - such drivers are supposed to have fully qualified driver alongside. A rule that seems to be ignored by all! Beware of Nissan Micra and Toyota Yaris drivers with 'L' plates (which is to say - all of them!) who are entirely unsuited to driving...

Just spent two months driving in Ireland and NI, and, believe me, they're enforcing the laws! I had a speed camera pick me up going 59 kph in a 50 kph zone (36 mph in a 30 mph zone). It cost me €80 plus the €30 that Avis charged me for giving the gardai my information. (Yes, Avis sucks and don't buy any supplementary insurance from Expedia, it is a scam). One advantage of getting the navigation unit is that it tells you when you're in a speed camera zone. Otherwise driving in Ireland is a blast! One last thing: yes, MNR roads as pinned below, also L roads (local), sometimes dirt or gravel, almost always narrow and twisty but they will get you where you need to go.

As explaines at the Introduction the only words that make a rule mandatory are Must/Must Not. Overtaking Overtake only on the right, unless traffic is travelling in slow moving queues and the traffic queue on your right is travelling more slowly than you are. If you intend to move from a slower lane to a faster lane, adjust your speed first. Before you start to overtake, remember ‘mirror, signal, mirror, manoeuvre’, and look in your blind spots. Check that the way is clear (behind and ahead) and signal well in advance. Remember that traffic will be travelling a lot faster than on ordinary roads. Be particularly careful at dusk, during darkness, and in poor weather conditions when it is more difficult to judge speed, distance and stopping distance. Signal and return to your original lane as soon as possible. Also like to mention it is not illegal in UK that includes N.I on any road that has two lanes in same direction.

I wanted to experience driving on the left so I chose the Cayman Islands to do so. Because Grand Cayman is so small, the roads are narrow and the speed limits are very low (35kph). I had trouble staying far enough to the left and when I made a turn I was tempted to enter the right side of the road (as in the U.S.). It helped to have my wife yell, "stay left" whenever I turned. I was beeped at with the horn several times when I was in the right lane (on the only four lane road there)and going too slow. In Grand Cayman the slow lane on a four lane road was the left lane. I learned quickly and it was a lot of fun.

Well done. On the motorway drive in the left lane - the right lane is just for overtaking and you will soon have some guy behind you wanting to get ahead. We have very few speed cops but they have franchised speeding out to a private company who will park their van in a gateway and try to nab you doing 40 in a 30 kilometer zone - usually on the edges of towns. However for rental cars I doubt if they would issue a ticket.

And this is the reason why our driving test is quite difficult. Many take a few times to pass because you need to show you can be vigilant at all times. One thing you haven't mentioned is that our parking spaces will be much smaller than yours so you have to know how to park precisely. Also I dunno how you haven't seen many Gardai out unless you're missing the speed vans, the cameras and the checkpoints. There is huge clampdown on learner drivers driving on their own and being from Dublin myself, I have experienced them regularly, thankfully I have a full license. They often set up checkpoints to breathalyze at night time or early morning. Your left hand side mirror is more for changing lanes or turning left, checking there isn't another vehicle, cyclist or motorist there when you choose to move - not so much for your road positioning! That is really serious because you might hear a motorbike or a car but you won't hear a cyclist and they really need to be minded.

I live in Southern England, from where it's very easy to get to Northern France by car ferry or tunnel shuttle (or was until the idiocy of Brexit), so perhaps I had to master driving on the unfamiliar side of the road fairly early. But yeah, it's less tricky than you'd think it would be, I reckon. I've driven my own UK car in France, and rental cars, of the appropriate handedness, in Spain, the US, Canada and (on the left) Australia. What I've found is that driving on the familiar side is slightly lower in workload, but not all that much. I've not actually driven in Ireland, but the differences between the RoI and the UK (though there are differences) are fairly minor, I think: distances in km, more stop signs, more North-American-style road signs; that's about it. So I assume it'd be OK.

The cost of renting a car with automatic transmission is cost-prohibitive, crazy expensive. I can drive manual transmission but it will take a bit of time getting used to the shifting with the left hand versus the right! I guess I am mostly concerned about those numerous rotaries and how to manuver around them from the left side of the road! Hopefully, they will be OK too with a bit of practice. Thank you for your message! We are so excited to be visiting your country!

Spotted a couple of errors. 1. You should normally be driving on the inside lane of a double lane road (i.e. the left lane). This is also true when driving on through a roundabout. Then you don;'t have to check inside cars with your left wing mirror. The outside lane (right lane) is for over taking. 2. Your wing mirrors are mainly for spotting motorcyclists, and cyclists in slow traffic, overtaking you. Also used for reversing of course.

At 0:32, 1:51 and 2:04, you seem to be cruising in the right-hand lane without overtaking anyone. This is known as lanehogging and can be really annoying to other faster-moving traffic (I appreciate you may be doing the speed limit, but still). Unless overtaking or doing junctions, you should be in the left lane as the right lane is the lane for overtaking or the 'fast' lane, not the cruising lane. Hogging this lane only encourages undertaking which shouldn't happen and is dangerous

@@Seanmcdhuibhne Lane 1 is the left lane, so in both scenarios you are being overtaken on the right. Perfectly legal. Read the rules of the road. It's illegal to overtake on the left except in exceptional circumstances. In free flowing traffic you can't and most insurance companies won't cover you if you do. Drive on the left, overtake on the right is the basic rule on Irish roads. If you don't know that, you're not a good driver. By the way, if you're doing 110 mph on any Irish road you're breaking the law too. That's 176 Kph, the maximum speed limit is 120 Kph.

A really big thing is to please remember to look right a junctions, I know that sounds obvious but I personally have 3 different friends who've been clobbered by Americans quite innocently looking the wrong way and pulling out (one very serious accident too) We have the same prob driving on the continent, Generally we all get along fine on the roads around here, caution is a good thing down country, there may be a tractor/livestock/drunk folk in dark clothes at night and crappy visibility at night due to our wonderful climate!

I think it’s wrong that you say there is no police monitoring. For speeding we don’t get pulled over as such like the USA. There are anonymous speed cameras and if a car exceeds the speed limited, a photo is taken and then the driver get the fine in the post and penalty points on their drivers license. We get pulled over randomly for breathalyzer tests and these are more frequent in December coming up to Christmas. The whole motorway will be shut and each driver one by one will be tested. So the police tend to check everyone and not just one person to make it fair. That relates to drinking and speeding. We have zero tolorence on both

The thing about enforcing rules is, you don't need law enforcement when the public will shame you when you do something wrong, or there is an overarching knowledge to generally not break road rules for fear of public tutting/disapproval. Basically, you don't want to have the idea of someone glaring at your mistakes in Ireland. For some reason the thought of that is more terrifying than a fine.

The roads in your video were pretty wide. I was in County Wicklow on some dirt backroads much narrower and with farm equipment trying to get by. There is also very little margin for error with maybe 6 inches between an oncoming car and 6 inches from a stone wall on the passenger side. There were also tons of blind corners from hedges and walls. Those were pretty dicey at many places and made me far more nervous than any road I'd been on in the US.

We use yellow road markings for "hard shoulder" boundaries. Centre road markings are thus: Broken white line - you can change lanes (on dual carriageway (N) or motorway (M)) or overtake. Single continuous white line: no changing lanes or overtaking at all (unless in an emergency). Double continuous white lines means a junction is ahead do not cross these lines until you reach the junction. Junction box may be a physical "island" or marked with white diagonal lines....you treat the white diagonal lines as if it was a physical "island"...do not enter but rather follow the arrows indicating the entry point into the junction.

The roads are narrow and we had quite a few tiny scratches along the side of our car from the shrubs and brush on the side of the road. It's pretty much unavoidable.

They will make life easier both in crowded cities & tiny villages, specially if you intend driving the west coast, Ring of Kerry & Dingle peninsular are tight by U.S. standards & frequent tour buses hog the road. As stated before, if you must have an automatic, then it's 1 less thing to tax your concentration. Relax, enjoy the journey & give the locals space to pass & hurry by.

Please be aware when you turn right, you have to move to the left side of the road. When you turn left, you stay on the left lane. If you are distracted or tired, or even after a few jars, you may automatically move to the right lane when you've turned right and hit someone approaching you head on. If you're in an accident, and you're a right side driver, you may be automatically considered at fault. Remember, the driver ALWAYS is positioned on the center of the road. If you find yourself as the driver sitting on the verge or side of the lane, you're on the wrong side!

As for "always drive in the center of the road", she didn't say that either. She said: remember that driver's side is centre-of-the-road-side, not verge-side.

Western Ireland is tough, some narrow roads with stone walls on both sides of road, you can feel like you are in a video game. And curvy, so you have to pay attention to whats ahead so that you can be prepared as to whether it curves right, left, whether it looks banked, etc. But you get used to it. Coming out of Shannon airport there will be one or two roundabouts and of course you go to the left of them, circle clockwise. Again, you get used to this quickly. Easier driving up in Connemara, as you can pull off road easier (no stone walls - but watch out for sheep and their lambs which wander all over the place). Also, it is more taxing driving on Irish roads than in the U.S. After a tiring trans-Atlantic flight, I would suggest just drive a modest distance first day to get acclimated.. A hundred kilometers on Irish roads will take more out of you than a hundred kilometers on a U.S. road (generally speaking).

Don't think that the speed isn't being enforced!!! There are cameras all over doing that! You should also stay in the left lane of the motorway. The right lane is an overtaking lane. When you have overtaken another car then you're supposed to return to the left side. Note that ALL solid lines are no overtake, not just the double ones. There are certain things that are worth noting also.... yellow boxes at cross roads shouldn't be entered unless you can leave them, that stops people blocking the crossroads. The reflectors on the road at night change colour depending on what's happening. For instance, if there's a turn the reflectors (cats eyes) will be green. White for centre and yellow for side. The road signs will also change colour depending on the road type. Blue for Motorways, Green for National roads and white for regional and local roads. You should also (as a tourist) look out for brown road signs, those are for places of interest. There will often be little hidden gems indicated by those signs. Follow the rules of the road, even if you don't think the police are around. A lot of the time they don't issue a ticket directly but it will come in the post later (as all they have to do is drive past, scan the number plate and go again). If you're ever unsure then just follow another car, once it's not another American tourist, hehe

As an Irish person, there are some comments that I would worry about: a) the INSIDE lane is that lane furthest to the left! b) when entering a roundabout (most of which have exits onto three other roads), you generally use the left hand (inner) lane when turning left or going straight ahead and the right hand (outer) lane when turning right. c) you must always yield when coming on to a roundabout, to traffic already on it. unless there is a dedicated filter lane diverging to the left. d) there is plenty of speed enforcement and from quite a distance away nowadays. You do not have to be pulled over as the usual m.o. is to send you something in the post.
