If you plan on exploring Ireland on a road trip, it is probably best to do it during the warmer months.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main roads are usually gritted to improve surface grip, but rural roads, particularly those with plenty of bends, can be <strong>tricky to navigate<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When in doubt, reduce your speed and drive with extra caution.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, the same warning can be given for pedestrians out and about on footpaths or sidewalks in cities.
