Gardai slammed a road user for 'inconsiderate' driving although some questioned it.
A tractor towing a trailer caused a line of at least 50 vehicles and had travelled the full distance from Bennettsbridge to Kilkenny without taking any of the opportunities to pull in.
Gardai felt the tractor driver should show some consideration to other people on the road.
Kilkenny/ Carlow gardai posted on Facebook: "This short clip captured by a passenger in a vehicle travelling from Bennettsbridge to Kilkenny shows a tractor towing a trailer with a queue behind it.
"There was also a line of at least 50 vehicles behind the one that shot the video.
"The tractor had travelled the full distance from Bennettsbridge to Kilkenny without availing of any opportunities to pull in.
"A poor show.
"Let's all show consideration to each other on our roads."
However, not everyone agreed.
One posted: "At busy times you wouldn't be long building up a q behind you in 3 kms.
The garda page responded: "3 km or so before the roundabout, a good place to let off tailbacks."
Another said: "2 sides to every story.
"Yes he should have pulled if he had the opportunity but sometimes if you don't know the road well enough you can come on a space to pull in too quick and you miss that opportunity.
"While tractors may be relatively slow-moving they are a large vehicle with a lot of weight in a trailer so it's not always as simple as it may seem.
"Yes ... some drivers can be inconsiderate but not all farmers should be tarred with the one brush."
