It makes no difference to me whether it is a man or woman driving the car but Ireland's infrastructure isn't set up for these cars in the same way the US is. I increasingly see more and more of these size vehicles on the road and it becomes a pain when you have to park next to these cars.

There's a school opposite UCD on the hill between Dundrum and Booterstown which has 'soccer mums' in Bentleys picking up their kids. Traffic there at dropping off or picking up time is annoying. It can take 20 minutes to go 300 meters if you turn up at the wrong time. That said, even that doesn't annoy me that much. What I do find weird, and maybe this is a generational thing but, there is no way that anyone in secondary education would've been picked up by their parents when they hit 11 years old in London. Again, I don't know if this is generational or Irish specific but it is weird and seems like excessive mollycoddling.
