Traffic Problems In Dublin City, Ireland 1962

[@TerryMurrayTalks]

Thanks for posting. This film brought back so many memories of my early years. I was born in 1951. The first 9 years I lived on the north side of Dublin. My family moved to the UK in 1960. They were simpler times and the way in which this typical information film of that era reflects just how much times have changed. My father worked in Mountjoy Prison we lived in a Prison Avenue, if memory serves me correctly, only one-person had car. My elder brother who returned to Dublin in the early 60’s and witnessed first-hand the massive changes that took place over the following 50 years. I am sure he did not have to pass a test to get a driving license. He used to joke, “Most of the pedestrian traffic injuries were caused by cars overtaking on the pavement”. On the occasional visits back to Dublin, I have noticed there is a large cultural difference, in the way in which the Irish and English relate to their cars. English drivers tend to pamper their cars by regularly cleaning them. They also avoid as much as possible minor bumps and scrapes in the way the park. Irish drivers, based on my last visit 15 years ago are less inclined to be careful and attentive to their cars. Whist most of the incidents in the film were contrived a lot of the mistakes at that time were born out of naivety or ignorance. Driving a car today is much more complicated and difficult particularly in large cities. Greater numbers of vehicles cramped into infrastructure designed for the horse and carriage. The experience further degraded by a few selfish individual that have no concept of mutually beneficial cooperation strategies for driving through dense city traffic. Unfortunately, time travel is not yet possible but old b***ards like myself can fondly look back and enjoy moments of melancholic nostalgia through the lens of KZbin.

[@flyingisaac2186]

My Dad just paid a sum of money at the post office for his driving licence c. 1958. One of his brothers, a farm contractor, taught him to drive to an accompaniment of a few curse words. His teacher was killed as he always stopped his Austin 7 before corner which he'd walk around just in case. Just once, and fatally, he encountered traffic on his short walk to check the corner. The Garda at the end was quite pragmatic. Now an array of quangos and local authorities for city push policy in different directions, meaning far too little is done.

To be fair back then there was no test, no driving lessons. In the north you just had to know a friendly police man, whom you drove around for 15 mins and he then authorised you for a license. Look how empty the roads were. Dublin today is bloody nightmare to drive in.

[@jgdooley2003]

Dublin in the 1960's had its own problems with people stopping in the middle of the road in cars for long periods of time blocking other cars and double parking causing roads to be reduced to single lane traffic again with long delays. As a child I remember a trip from Galway to Dublin taking 5 hours often at 40 mph and going through 20 towns and villages on the way. The section from Kinnegad to Dublin alone could take 2 hours. and towns such as Athlone, Ballinasloe and Loughrea each took 1/2 hour to get through. Even on the main roads the presence of cattle and sheep being driven on foot was a common occurance. Different times.

[@kaamkmca]

An opportunity was missed to build a fit for purpose underground rail system. Politicians have been proven to be short sighted and still are!. The underground would have been been paid for by now if it was constructed back in either the 60s, 70s or the 80s. Not fair to expect the Gardai to solve the problems of poor planning and poor political leadership.

[@Jesus.is.the.Way.2386]

money and low population too.. an issue; still its quite wealthy today

[@mikekelly5869]

The country hadn't got an arse in its trousers back then. There was no way that an underground system could have been built. We were paying around 80% tax as it was. The planned metro line to Dublin Airport was a political mess in the first and second decades of the 2000's so your point about political leadership and planning is well made. The planning system remains the same and it really needs an overhaul, not just for infrastructure but to sort out housing and the destruction of towns by bad development. The sooner An Bord Pleanala bites the dust the better.

[@briancd37]

We see to be ok with the lack of any lights and bald tyres on the truck at 3:09

[@Jesus.is.the.Way.2386]

until recently, you could drive in Ireland legally without a test/full licence; folks born of Irish parents w/o a full licence could drive in the uk on an irish provisional....or at least the irish travellers did ''Prior to serious reforms in 2007, many people who drove never completed the process of receiving a full licence - 400,000 people held provisional licences in October 2007 when the new Learner Permit system was introduced. Serious crackdowns and a huge increase in testing facilities have brought this number down heavily.'' The reason for the high number of people driving under a Provisional Licence under the old system was because a Provisional Licence holder could drive unaccompanied after obtaining their second Provisional Licence, and many drivers chose this route rather than going through the full testing process. This system was very unusual - most countries' provisional/learner licences require a fully qualified driver to accompany a learner.

With motorbikes there was no reduction in insurance cost between a provisional and a full license. Obviously the requirement for a fully licenced passenger is moot.

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Even when I was a lad the saying was that if you could drive through Dublin then you could drive anywhere, I worked with people who would not drive through Dublin City centre they actually paid someone to drive their car for them that’s how bad it was

@@johnmehaffey9953 Which part of Cork are you from?

[@mikekelly5869]

That's not quite accurate. Under the old system holders of first, third and subsequent provisional licences had to be accompanied. There was a weird anomoly for second provisional licences where on the second licence only solo driving was allowed. I think it came from long ago when licencing was highly influenced by the need for rural populations to be able to get around. The need for drivers to be accompanied on third and subsequent licences was largely ignored beccause it wasn't enforced very much and penalties were small. That's why many people didn't bother doing the test after the second provisional licence.

[@rivolinho]

I'm mere lad of 40, and I still remember the old drink driving culture going strong in the 80's and 90's. People routinely drove to local pubs, or in my Dad's case, 10 miles away, and drank afew pints before driving home. Seat belts were a personal choice, more of a fashion accessory. Funny, there didn't seem to be anything like the carnage on the road there is now, despite all the sober drivers and heavily enforced regulations. Probably more to do with the huge numbers of cars now vs 40 years ago though, and the speeds.

I remember it very well, sometimes me and the local kids would have to wait for 5 to 10 seconds before the road would be clear for us to skip, hippy hop, walk sideways, backways, handstands and dance our way across over to the other side of this very busy roadway and share the little bag of glass penny sweets with each other, some were only allowed a lick of a sweet. You often hear people talking about the good old days, not me and my school friends, we had to walk, now kids are delivered to and brought back to their homes from their school and parties in cars with full with deluxe interiors and top safety specifications.,the kids of today do not know how hard we kids from the 1960s had it

[@jgdooley2003]

Physically hard but I would not swap places with the kids of today. Cyber bullying, exam pressures and exposure to drugs, gang violence and sex crime many times more dangerous than existed in the 1960's. In the 60's and 70's you could pick up casual employment at the drop of a hat if you were any good and the formalities that exist today did not apply. I now have neices and nephews who did not get their first paying job until their mid 20's, such is the onerous requirement for 3rd level degrees for most jobs and the requirement to be fully productive from day one. This of course depended on your family background and the ability of your family and parents to protect you from the now-revealed predatory practices of the clergy and their supporters in keeping crimes against children and vulnerable adults a dirty little secret.

[@stormytempest6521]

Ah, those were the Days!

[@peter_piper]

At least most vehicles were only going at 5mph, so there must have been few fatalities ......

[@jgdooley2003]

Because of the existence of cloth reinforced cross ply tyres, the absense of seat belts, the presence of zone toughened glass and the poor state of lighting, both on cars and roads, the fatal casualty rates were higher than today. Many safety features we take for granted in cars today were absent in the cars of the 1960's. Head on collisions on roads were very common and the practices among drivers was chaotic. While young drivers often drove too fast the older drivers often drove way too slow and made huge positioning mistakes, putting themselves in harms way. The driving test and systematic driver training only came into existence in 1964 and photo ID licences only in the late 1970's. It was a common practice among large families to share driving licences among close family members due to the absence of photos on licences. Also common was drink driving and the police were considered as being unfair if they caught a drunk driver. Most public sympathy at that time would be with the drunk driver! This attitude has changed radically among the native Irish and is in stark contrast to the attitudes at that time in the UK and US.

Apart from one Volkswagen every car in the film was British , no doubt assembled in the Republic . How things have changed . Toured the republic in 1976 as a !earner driver from the North . Boy what an eye opener , not only were the roads terrible ( they'd wreck your car in no time ) but the driving standards were non existent ( no tests I assume ) and here was me trying to pass my gets in the North at least I survived to tell the tale .☺All changed now of course , their driving standards are as good ( or bad ) ad any modern European country .

[@jgdooley2003]

The huge difference north and south can be guaged by the poor state of the roads now in the North compared to those in the South. This is due in no small part to EU investment in roads in the late 1990's which started a government policy more favourable to personal mobility and fast travel than existed in the 1970's. Today the Republic can be regarded as a single point for jobs. Long distance commuting, to avoid high housing costs in the job-rich urban areas, is now the norm. On the subject of road building the EU insisted on Asphalt road surfacing which is far more durable than the old roads using surface dressing. Asphalt can last 20-30 years while Surface dressing will only last 5 years. Money was another big barrier to good roads. Local government tax bases are now much higher than in the 1960's, reflecting Irelands now much more knowledge based economy and the move from Farming and tourism into high tech and pharma which pay better. Bad roads still exist in Ireland mostly in remote areas of the west and in areas with a difficult geography such as Donegal and parts of Cavan and Monaghan.

Go there today and you would find that the situation is 10 times worse.

[@jgdooley2003]

The situation now is that there are 10 times as many cars on the roads today as there were in the 1960's. Another big problem now is drug driving. The problems of old, badly maintained wrecks has been hugely reduced by NCT and the licencing system is going some way to weeding out incompetent or dagerous drivers. The stats on fatalities and recent reduction in insurance premia for drivers with no claims would seem to suggest Ireland is not an unsafe country in which to drive.

Tyres in the 1960's were mostly cloth reinforced cross ply structures with a very small cross sectional area and weak sidewalls and prone to blow out catastrophically especially on sharp bends. Bald tyres were common and inspection and enforcement were minimal. Now cars are universally fitted with steel wire reinforced radials which are much less likely to blow out and have stiffer sidwalls to take corners better without danger. Inspections make having bald tyres harder and annual NCT inspections make owners change their tyres more often than in the 1960's.
