It's because of people like you that motorways don't operate correctly. Please don't even reply to this post with nonsense, as you are completely and utterly wrong.

Ok, forget everything I said and forget the original video that I posted. I have obviously rattled the cages of the "Let's bash the OP brigade" and I'll leave it at that.

I would however suggest a sub forum of "Dash cam saves your ass" where people can rant and rave all they like and the original forum can maintain some level of sanity. That way we can have a choice as to what we do or do not want to read. I just posted some speeding driver with the accompanying inaction of the Gardaí. Apologies for all those whom I have offended by "hogging" the middle lane at the correct speed. And yes, I have replied despite your request that I shouldn't. Democracy rules.

I don't think there is any country in EU where there would be mandatory dipped lights 24/7 without possibility to use DRLs.

Its mandatory in Poland, if you have DRLs thats what you use, if you don't you have to use dipped lights. Strictly enforced as well.

Sorry about that, my bad.

I hate the bashing that goes on in here too, but usually over pedantic stuff. You posted a video of yourself sitting in the middle lane and then tried to justify it by saying it suited you to do so.

I know they are exempt . But being exempt and abusing it, minutes after they just pulled a lad for speeding is pathetic.

Perhaps they just got a call that somebody they're looking for is down the road
(and they didnt want to alert the suspect by putting on blue lights)?

You posted a video showing someone swerving between traffic because of people like you hogging the middle lane. Then you give out about the Gaurds doing the exact thing you were doing. Then you come on here and argue that you will drive the wrong way and screw everyone else. Then you moan when we question it???

I followed up your thought with a fact about Poland, granted it was slightly (stressing slightly) off context

No need to be cryptic with your response though, if you feel I needed clarity just let me know directly, like.

Read my original post and show me where "I gave out about the Guards doing the exact same thing" ie, "hogging the middle lane" Since when is driving at the max permitted speed in the centre lane wrong when you are passing/avoiding slower moving traffic on the inside lane?

And yes, just ignore the speeder, breaking the speed limit, driving across 3 lanes, undertaking and then crossing 3 lanes again, while the Guards ignore him. Of course, what I did was so much worse and worthy of criticism..........

It's just I was responding to someone who mentioned that dipped lights should be mandatory 24/4 like in many EU countries (clearly saying dipped lights, not DRLs), while it's not true, as I don't think there is any country in EU, where dipped lights would be mandatory without possibility to use DRL.

You didn't pass or avoid a single car in the 45 seconds of your video.

In fairness that road becomes a 2 lane after the merge,the others are for local traffic.

Wow that was some stupid driving out of the Santa Fe. You were lucky there wasn't an incident in front of you there that you could've done little to avoid

Sorry Bear, my work allows me to see Youtube, but not allows me to upload to it. So I had to use photobucket instead.

No worries, I'll just wait till I get home.

Just for the people that have them, I'm looking for a cam for security/servicing more than anything. Not daily use and I want something rechargeable. Don't want wires hanging around the car. Any suggestions? Go pro?

There's a thread all about that already. Ask there I guess.

As for a go pro. Very good quality footage, but not really an option for security or using as video evidence. The battery would last a few hours drive, maybe 3, and the SD card on 720p, wide angle will get about 6 hours (currently have 3 hours on my 32GB SD card using 15GB). You'd be forever dumping data off the SD, and if you dont want wired, you'd be forever charging the goPro.

Both trying to save a few seconds.
I beeped my horn a bit too late to help.
Surprised guy on bike didn't look left as lots of motorbikes and cyclists pass me on the right every day.
