The Island of Ireland is in fact two countries, Ireland and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is element of Britain. From Dublin to Belfast will take you a excellent two hours motorway driving. Dublin to Cork will take you among 4 and six hours depending on the time of day. The only motorways in Ireland are about Dublin. The motorway speed limit is 120 Km/Hr (75mph) The speed limit on National roads, N7, N8, N25, and so forth is 100Km/Hr (62mph). On Regional roads the limit is 80 Km/Hr (50mph). National roads go by way of all sorts of towns and villages where you will find shoppers double parked, so your average speed off the motorways is 40mph over any distance at all. Speed limits are enforced by the Gardai (pronounced gardEE). The Guards do not stand silhouetted against the skyline wearing vivid orange jackets, as they do in Britain. In Ireland they hide behind lamp posts, crouch behind walls and hide in the bushes. You will not see them before they catch you on camera. Believe me I drive 30,000 miles a year in Ireland, I know. If you are driving a UK registered automobile, including Northern Ireland, the Guards will not usually cease you. If you have hired a automobile in Ireland they will quit you, but will possibly let you go as soon as they see you are a visitor, driving on a US or UK licence. At the moment only Irish drivers can be offered penalty points, though other nationalities can be fined. Driving in Ireland is really hazardous, specially amongst 11pm and 6am. Drink driving is typical, seat belts are hardly ever worn and drivers are aggressive and totally discourteous. Never ever expect yet another driver to give wayif he has the appropriate of way. Drive defensively. Expect the completely ridiculous to come about.
