Driving in Ireland?

[ShowOfHands]

It's just hit me that making sure I've packed enough snacks for the journey from Norfolk to Ireland is possibly the least of my problems.

I only learnt to drive a couple of months ago and it's just occurred to me that I need to drive on not only unfamiliar roads, but also ones with different rules. I vaguely recall that it's kph in Ireland. Our ancient car only has mph on the dial. I have to drive from Dublin to Kilkenny and then on to Castle Durrow. Tell me that it's straightforward and it'll all fall into place. Up until this year, holidays have involved buses, bikes and boats.

You'll be fine, the roads are fairly uncrowded, and drivers are on the whole courteous.

Yes speed limits are in kph, but they are equivalent to what you'd expect- 70 moh ( 120 kph) on motorways, 30 mph through towns.

I'm in ni- afaik the r plate thing is only for those who've done their test here, doesn't apply to drivers from elsewhere. But I could be wrong on that.

Show, I live right in city centre Norwich and absolutely HATE driving around here. Test will be taken in Norwich as well. My lessons are giving me an ulcer so I'm happy to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....assuming I actually pass.
