I was thinking about it, I think I read here before that I'll have to actually go in and make a statement about it. Any idea if this is the case? It was well out of order what he did.
I don't mean to sound smart but did you do anything earlier on down the M50 that would have antagonized him?
It seems a bit excessive the way he abruptly cut in front of you like that and slammed on the brakes and then gave you the finger as well.
I'm not saying this is justified under any circumstance but I'm wondering if you might have done something earlier to piss him off? (even unknowingly)
If I had to cut infront of somebody last second like that I'd be mortified knowing I was in the wrong, let alone slamming on my brakes and making a point of giving you the finger!

No had no dealings with him before he cut in front of me. There were no cars behind me in the slip road and I could see him coming for a good while behind me. With the speed he was doing I was sure he was heading out the N2. I wouldn't even mind but as I said there was NO cars behind me in the slip lane, it would have been so much easier to just ease up on the juice and fall in behind me. Traffic was lighter than usual too, most mornings there does be a tail back and where the incident happened does be at a standstill, so he should have been happy traffic was lighter than normal!
Some people though are just reckless and have no regard for rules or other peoples safety, these people have no place being on public roads.0 -

Grand clear view of his number at 0:06. You can report him to traffic watch initially : http://garda.ie/Controller.aspx?Page=111&Lang=1
If you wish it to be taken to court, then you will have to make a statement, which involves going to a garda station, but it's not a very big deal - they're mostly open 24/7

Cool, thanks for the info. Does anyone think there will be an issue with the time stamp on the vid? It says xmass day 2011!!0 -
Actually, fewer and fewer of them are open 24/7. I gave a statement to a Traffic Corps Garda in Terenure recently. I arrived at 8.30pm, but by the time I was leaving after 9.00 pm, the public office had shut and I had to leave by the back door.If you wish it to be taken to court, then you will have to make a statement, which involves going to a garda station, but it's not a very big deal - they're mostly open 24/7
But either way, you're right to say it's not a big deal, and it is worth doing in cases like this. Even if nothing ever goes to Court, the driver will have to deal with a Garda landing at the door, and when he denies everything, the Garda will tell him that it's recorded on video.0 -

... Big intimidating foreign type driving, Slovakia sticker on the back of the car...... Balkan, ex-army looking guy!!! Decided it was best to keep going haha

The Balkans have a bad enough rep already without having to take responsibility for Slovak driving

The key word here is "looking".
He could easily have been an African looking guy with a Slovakian sticker.
Thanks for the lesson in Geography all the same

Take a look at this goon of a woman. Reverses into another car, all on a busy high street and drives off.
I went back to the Astra, passenger was back then and i left my details, we looked at the bumper and it had been pushed out of place and scratched too.
On a side note, I can't help but laugh everytime at the Yaris nipping in and stealing her spot, she was raging! 0 -

Brilliant, this is why I love dash cams. Fair play for stopping, its so annoying that people do this so often and think nothing of it. Ah it was only a bump, they wont mind!0 -

Just on this situation, I head down the fonthill road most days and if anyone one knows it, there is a similar roundabout to this at the industrial estate where Powercity is. Two lanes up to roundabout, left lane left turn only and right lane for straight through or right turn.

Now I don't mind people skipping the queue and using the bus lane if they're heading left in to the industrial estate but you get the usual 'my time in too valuable to queue' driver who uses the left lane and goes on straight cutting across the correct driver who is in the right lane.
I've had a few close calls with drivers here and I've often wondered if I hit a car sneaking in from my left who is in the wrong. Should the driver on left always give right of way to cars to their right, if I hit his passenger door am I at fault because I hit his car as opposed to him hitting me.0 -

You're always supposed to avoid a collision and simply driving into someone and saying "they were in the wrong!" won't cut it sadly.
Now if you were to accelerate and they hit you, then you would be alright I'd say 0 -

typical of people at the square, at the very start you see someone walking in front of traffic that has a green light, then after you move on you can see people randomly crossing the road a few yards from the proper crossing point.0 -
This footage seems bad but isn't but still be warned
Did the bike end up in the car? Or why did the camera move away as the car moved away and pulled in?0 -
