webfact Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Irishman puts in ferry-stopping entry to 2016 world's worst driver award Heather McNeill The vehicle was wedged in the walkway overnight, forcing the local ferry company to cancel services. Photo: Facebook Co Kerry: -- There are still four months of the year to run but one Irishman is going to take some beating in the race for 2016's worst piece of driving. The man, who has not been identified, was left red-faced after reportedly being forced to spend the night in his car after blocking the pedestrian path to a pier in Dunquin, on Ireland's south-west coast. The Blasket Island Ferry had to cancel its morning ferry services when the car, which the man had reportedly hoped to camp in at the pier, became lodged between narrow walls.

DipStick Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Well he managed to drive it in so what's stopping him reversing it back out. The car will have already suffered body danage I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toofarnorth Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I guess if he was wedged in the wheels would of had no grip if he tried to reverse . Would he be Paddy Somchai Flannagan by any chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Being Irish and all, I sure wouldn't want to deal with that bottle of yellow liquid he tossed in the trash the next day. Probably isn't lager. Or detail the interior if he couldn't find a bottle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies I didn't read that far. So apart from getting himself wedged in, he burnt out the clutch trying to extricate himself, so two failures at the same time .
