Spotted this on my drive today(timestamp is wrong), 2 cyclists just didn't care about their own safety or the safety of pedestrians.

The last cyclist is a total moron. Someday some innocent driver will be up in court for killing him.

I witnessed a lad in a school uniform nearly knock an old man similar to that I blew the horn and F'ed him out of it - old man thanked me

In hindsight I should have printed out his still and bought it up to his school - little **** :rolleyes:

Even though the sound is muted, I can still hear you cursing and swearing

It was one of these moments where, while cursing and swearing, I glanced at the rear view mirror and noticed the driver of the car behind me fuming as well, lol

Was she thinking? Ever? You sure?

She's just waiting for green to become greener.

Another idiot that should not be on the road. Those lights were red 5 seconds. They are the type that will block a main road doing 75kmh in a 100 zone, and then drive through town 50 zones at 75kmh.

If you where to open her brain, you will find this at the controls:

The rabbit has probably more going on in it's brain than her. Just seems to be something with Micra drivers, though not as much the new ones, they have all migrated to the Yaris, judging by the fact that it's mostly those that swerve all over the road at 30 km/h and indicating left and turning right.
But since it's a woman and she probably drives everywhere very slowly (if badly), she's Uncle Gaybo's favourite driver.

I'm sorry to jump in right at the end and I apologise if this has already been covered in the previous 103 pages that I haven't read...

Having nearly got wiped at Merrion gates yesterday evening by a prat coming through a red light when I had a right turn green filter light I've decided to buy a dash cam. The quality of your videos on this link is good - what cams are you guys using? Pros / Cons? Where to buy?

Thanks!

Have you got a smartphone ? I just use the witness app on an iphone, does the job. Got a suction cup holder in a vodaphone shop for €10

Pull out and let them merge!

No, they are merging from his rear, at greater speed, therefore his pulling out to the sacred overtaking lane will result in his being undertaken, also holding up the faster traffic e.g focus already in fast lane.
Now if they had been merging ahead, if necessary he could have moved over.

It is up to those merging to accelarate hard to merging speed, and if they need help THEN motorists should help them.
This crack of labouring out onto a motorway at 5th with engine at 1500 rpm is another of my pet hates. But if they are merging at my front, sure I will move out for them.

Same as myself, The witness app works fine and its only €0.89. Quality is good but obviously some of the proper cameras will be much better. Would do the job untill you get one though

TBH I can't really see that funny thing.

It might look unusual for people from Ireland to hit a bear, but it would probably look equally unusual for people from the Continent if I put up a video of hitting sheep.
