Driving in Shannon, Ireland
Useful Tips for Driving in Ireland
When you pick up your Car Rental at Shannon Airport, take the time to thoroughly get acquainted with its controls. If you are a visitor used to driving on the right of the road, get used to the driver's position being on the vehicle's right - and make sure to ALWAYS remember that (just like anywhere else within the UK) you must drive on the LEFT in Ireland!
Studying your route carefully before setting off is also highly recommended. We suggest getting an Irish road map for this purpose, as this will prove to be extremely helpful, especially for driving along rural roads.
Speed limits are indicated in miles per hour (mph) in Northern Ireland and km per hour (km/h) in the Republic of Ireland. These limits are:
Penalties/fines for drinking & driving are high in Ireland - so don't do it.
Remember that Ireland has an agricultural economy - and you may not always see everything. You may, for instance, unexpectedly come across large agricultural machinery or wildlife/farm animals crossing roads (or resting on them).
You may also want to look out for rural Irish drivers, as meeting them on narrow roads can be a nerve-racking experience.
