Ever wished you could drive a bumper car on the road?

Well wishes do come true! One Utah resident converted his 1984 Dodge Colt into a street-legal bumper car. It sold recently on Ebay for the princely sum of $2938.

Google Glass rival helps the visually impaired!

We're not about to jump on the google glass bandwagon, BUT, a company in Israel, Orcam, has developed a nifty device to help the visually impaired read street signs, bus numbers and other essential information.


Very handy improvement for road safety and pretty helpful too. It can recognise faces, places and products. It's a little bit expensive but really impressive!

Ireland V Faroe Islands

It's world cup qualifier and we are expecting there to be extra numbers at the game.

The game kicks off at 7.45 and restrictions will be in place on Herbert Rd, Lansdowne Rd and Shelbourne Rd.

Londonbridge Rd and Bath Ave are closed until the 20th of July.

As always we recommend using public transport to get to and from the game.

WOW.! These are the coolest road signs EVER!

We already had this very cool alert for drivers on the blog before but check out these really amazing road signs.



It's an update-able, changeable road sign which can point in different directions depending on the information it shows.

It would be an amazing resource for tourist information or at a music festival, showing band times and stages.
