Scary Polish Driver

Rippy

OK, I believe many Eastern Europeans driving standards are at least equal to the average Irish driver, but some are absolute loony tunes. Check this out,I watched it after seeing the new 'mess' road safety ad (car rolls and crushes couple against wall). This is far more frightening for being real and FAR more reckless.

Scary stuff, but in fairness there's as many Irish lads at that as well.

he was definately speeding, but there weren't any near misses, he didn't cause cars to swerve out of the way of anything. I've seen a lot worse around Dublin. I'm not defending the guy - he's obviously a tool.

Anyone driving like that should be locked up and key thrown away, regardless of nationality. He may not have had an accident in the video but it was out of pure luck, not skill.

Ok no one had to swerve but I bet the drivers coming out of junctions on the right got a hell of a shock! Sooner or later one will pull out without checking to make sure theres not someone on the wrong side of the road.

to anyone who's ever travelled the N7 on a sunday evening, this will all seem rather tame. I've had cars coming towards me overtaking lines of traffic even though there is oncoming traffic, forcing us into the hard shoulder. It didn't take the arrival of Poles to introduce idiotic drivers, we've been cultivating them for years!

Total disregard for his safety and of others using the road. Anyone caught blatently speeding like that should have their licence revoked.

colm_mcm

agree 100%. is it tricky for Gardai to prosecute on a Polish licence though?

Rippy

Seems 'Toolski ' is a racist too. See his youtube profile

So he comes to this country, behaves in a dangerous and totally anti-social manner, brags about it on Youtube, and conplains about immigration into his own country.
W*anker!

True they can't touch his licence, but he can (and should) still be banned from driving in Ireland.
I have a UK licence,got done for speeding last year (here), and got a letter saying there are 2 points held against my driving record in Ireland even though they are not on my licence. So I could still be banned by totting-up on points or a judge could order me off the road if I comitted a serious offence.
Would be the same for Toolski wirh his Polish licence.

Recording your vain fecking self to some quasi exciting EE music and then putting the amateur result on youtube scares me a lot more than the actual driver behaviour tbh

Agreed, most of the Polish I meet are great lads, just hipocritical tossers like this make it harder for the good guys!

I think it looked like a Mazda 323.

I know an east european who has the 6 or 8 points on his licence, but they are ineffective since he is not Irish. Before Christmas he was caught by an off duty guard changing lanes without indicating in a 100km/h zone, by the guards reckoning he was doing 150km/h. He told me he was actually doing 175km/h. His solicitor thinks there is a good chance he won't lose his licence, as its essentially the cops word against his. By the time it makes court it will be nearly 7 months since the incident happened. Incredibly nice guy, but he's an absolute scumbag on the road.

In fairness it is not just one nationality doing this.

I was coming home from Shannon airport tonight and tipping along on the inside lane of the dual carriage way back to Limerick when I noticed headlights coming towards me. Nothing odd you think except this car was crawling towards me the wrong way half on the overtaking lane and half on the central reservation going the wrong way :eek: I could not believe my eyes, I started flashing my lights at this guy and beeping the horn. He just flashed his lights too and continued on. I pulled over into the hard shoulder and called the local garda station and told them. At this stage he was still going down the carriage way. Fortunately the traffic was light but I don't know if the gardai caught up with this guy or what and I didn't really get the number plate as it was dark but it was an Irish reg.

The mind boggles.

The car in that clip was a right hand drive. Aren't Polish cars left hand drive?

Also there is a typically Irish looking tax-disc and insurance disk holder with what look like a NCT sticker beside it. Not at all Polish looking.

I don't think the driver is Polish at all, my guess is an Irish driver.

Victor

Indeed the conversation sounds very Irish. UNDER THE VERY LOUD MUSIC!

Have you ever thought that they may have bought a car here?

It sounds like he was pissed.

A friend of mine was talking to a barlady before who was saying "Oh sure they're drunk when they drive home, but they only drive at 5mph so what harm can they do?", to which my friend replied "It doesn't matter that you're only doing 5mph if you're on the wrong side of the road and a car comes the other way doing 60mph".

From interior it looks like a Ford? Focus/Escort/Fiesta?

colm_mcm

It's got a glovebox high up in the dash, but like the Mk3 golf. but it's not that. the heater vents look Ford-ish alright.

I want to see those inbred fúckers hurt, badly.

That guy is a complete tool. Overtaking like that will get someone killed. The Gaurds should have more power to deal with foreign licences and cut this out.

At 1:29 you can get a somewhat clear look at the number plate of the car. Best guess: 99 D 13098, though the year and last digit are harder to make out. The guards will know where this car was stolen and the faces make an ID of any local hoods quite doable.

Can anyone get a better look at the reg?

It doesn't excuse dangerous driving, but you should never pull out without looking both ways.

The polish lad has IRA videos as his Favorite youtubes?

Odd.

Strange alright. Also why is he called 'Irishek'? But if you look further down his favourites they are mostly Polish including the previously mentioned racist ones.
So he is either Irish with a strong interest in Poland or vice versa.
Whatever he obviously believes in sectarianism and violence, has very poor musical taste and is likely to die in a car crash.
Maybe Irish with Polish friends?

Could be an Irish guy trying to stir up anti-Polish hatred maybe. Dunno.

Meanwhile, somewhere on the internet is a thread in Polish called "Scary Irish People".
