Looks easy enough.

2:01 Stone walls and the grass is green.

I just booked my rental car for my trip in two weeks, I requested the bubble wrap car option.😬

WOW!!! Well, here we are, 10 years later, and I am still watching these videos from time to time ....

Even the rain is soft...in Ireland !

We parked there the other day and did not need a parking reservation. Do you know if they are enforcing it?

Thank you... scary for me... fingers crossed

Thanks, guys!

Alot of people have accidents on Irish roads be very careful please I know what I speak.❤

Waze is the best. Dont pay for that. I come from Spain and here in Ireland is H-A-R-D to drive and not intuitive at all. Its way easier to drive in Spain, as is way more intuitive because of all of the signals and how the roads are made. Here in Ireland is more or less like doing rally 😂😂😂 Very tricky. Im getting use to it. And other thing that bothers me a lot is how slow is the traffic 💤 😴 I understand it in National and Regional roads as is dangerous as F 😮 But in a motorway 100 km/h COME ON! At least Irish people are very educated and polite. I've made many mistakes in the bridge crossing, meaning that you have to yield sometimes for the other car to pass. I have my car very well measured so I know where I can fit and where I don't. I lived in Madrid, so I'm very used to narrow roads. So I passed very close to the wall and the other car, and I was wondering why they were staring at me like that 😂 Then a friend of mine explained to me. Im very sorry about that. The other drivers must been very scared 😨

Thank you! This was very informative especially for safety. I have driven in Ireland before but it's been about 25 years - so this was a nice 'refresher' before I leave! ☘☘☘

Speeding is generally enforced by cameras and camera vans. The right lanes on the motorway are for overtaking, do not cruise on the right lanes.

Roundabouts and 'which way round' are the test. Americans do not understand them even in their own country... There are no public education adverts on the subject and so ignorance of them is universal...... I am a Brit who used to drive in Paris. I have driven (American 'I have drove'), in the US full time since 2007.... I have ridden (American 'I have rode'), motorbikes in every country in Europe...

0:32 Why are you sitting in the right lane of a motorway with no other cars around? Move left ffs

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!

Headed there in 2 days.. good information, thanks!!

Just remember don’t fly straight back to America if you have an accident

This was so helpful. I am going at the end of April and not going to lie, I am pretty nervous about driving there. You give great tips!

"Hey kids, look! Big Ben, Parliament"

This was so helpful. I am planning to go in April and didnt realize i will DEFINITELY get snowed on walking up the mountain and need to plan accordingly. I was prepared to walk on it, not get showered with it. I was in colorado last july and although i pride myself on being prepared for everything, i had NO idea about the mid day thunder storms. I got rained on quite a few times.

live saver thank you!!!

Ì'm going to do it on an ebike next Spring.

1:52 tut tut again. Stay in the left lane unless overtaking. No really ! Stay in the left lane.

This is the British system of driving that most of the former British colonies have except for Canada which is heavily influenced by the United States.

Thank you!!

Depends what your into.. Killarney is great if your a city person or towny but if your into a quite spot the wilds is where it at 💚

Can you suggest some beginner 12k or 13k summits in the San juan or rio grande in colordo?

Re: SPeeding: They use cameras and if you speed you WILL get a ticket sent to you with a photo of your rental car's resistration/license plate. Found this out the hard way 2 weeks ago :(

I love watching Americans shit themselves on our roads at 70mph. Welcome to Ireland. 😂😂😂😂

Hi Great video. I enjoyed it. Congratulations on making it to the summit in those conditions. I had a question for you, you mentioned several times in your video about having the right gear. Would you tell us what layering system you had on that day? What was your base layer, mid layer, and outer shell? Thank you. Keep Making videos and look forward to seeing more.

Ireland requires that everyone in a car uses the seat belts (or childreen with the length for it a pillow and the normal seat belt.) Most european countries has a mandate on seat belt usage. I believe Ireland disallows speaking to camera in a way like this.

Stay to the LEFT on motorways. Typical complaint from Irish drivers about American drivers? They hang in the right lane, driving slowly.

America is over policed its a sign of a society

About to head over and your video has really put me at ease. Thanks!

Don't know if you mentioned, were you driving manual or automatic? Thanks for the video!

Even roundabouts are a pain for most who drive in UK and Ire. Basically saving on traffic lights.

Nonbiri ikouze, oi

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.

Can you turn right at a red signal in Ireland?

Are you able to park your car at the 5th station during the off season? Say December. Thanks!

hey, does someone know which paths they take in the video?

Is it legal to climb this without a guide?

What cameras did you use/bring?

Does Waze work there? For navigation

My son has just climbed the mountain using Lobeia Trekking company. I watched your videos to see what he was up to while he was on his climb. Thank you so much for posting these. Seems so funny how long ago it was that you climbed, and how many things have happened in the world since then. But I really enjoyed watching your experience and was touched by how much it meant to you, and how you expressed it. Thank you!

Jesus, must be hard to drive in Europe for an American. Not even used to have a good sense of width and requiring references to keep the track of where their car occupies on the road. And at the end, you lot are really bedazzled by policemen not ''enforcing the rules'', that's because as long as the general order isn't disrupted, the rules aren't there to mess with people, unlike US where you can go to jail for speeding. In Germany, drivers don't even care for speed limits in general, and the road traffic itself regulates the average speed and guess what, average Autobahn speed in Germany is just 120kmh, not some stupid 230 just because motorways don't have speed limits. Traffic in Europe, is designed so that people all follow up the rules, no left, or in this instace, right lane hogging, no over the top driving etc. The country expects you to be competent behind the wheel and it's not that easy to get a drivers licence.

Of all the advice videos on driving in Ireland, this has to rank amongst the worst, firstly if you're going to flout the law, park illegally and drive dangerously because this clown states "that they don't seem to be enforcing the law and he hasn't seen any police officers" then please STAY AT HOME, you are not welcome here, every year Americans are scraped off the road, usually taking a few innocent people with them due to driving like this idiot, secondly, he's openly breaking the law by driving on the right hand side of a motorway and not overtaking, it's not called the "Overtaking lane" for no reason and you WILL get pulled over, normally by an unmarked car with blue lights hidden behind the grill that this dingbat didn't even realise are all around him when driving on Irish roads, finally if you are coming to Ireland and driving, ignore everything this fool has said and download the correct publication for driving here, study it and drive accordingly www.rsa.ie/docs/default-source/road-safety/r1---rules-of-the-road/ruleoftheroad_book-for-web.pdf?sfvrsn=b5d57830_7
