Just to stoke things up here I think the biggest problem as far as speed is concerned are the buses. I've never had a problem with cars at all.
I was on St James Street buying some muscles from the lovely fish mongers (unnecessary back story), when I stepped out a bus was tearing up the road and some fella pulled out a parking space into the road. The bus must have been 50 metres away but immediately sounded his incredibly loud horn. He was going far too fast for that busy road and totally unnecessarily sounded his horn.
It all back fired because the guy driving the car stopped in the middle of the road and got out to 'have a word' with the bus driver.
Rant over.
