Lanes 2 & 3 bumper to bumper with loads of room in lane 1. Decent drivers forced to pass on the left! That's my M50. Just needs an Audi getting as far up the queue as possible before doing a dirty dart from lane 2 across the cross hatching to take the exit, leaving no one in any doubt that the driver is loaded and very important.

Yep, I see it too. And trucks hopping on the middle lane bandwagon now too

They should just make Irish motorways 'right hand drive' like on the continent. They would work perfect then. Lane 1 full, lane 3 empty.

That's mental. Imagine pulling in there with a puncture and 2.5 tonne lorry hitting you at 50kph+. They'd be in a world of trouble.

Traffic slightly heavier than usual on the Finglas slip road M50(N) this morning... To the hard shoulder!!

A couple of strategically placed "bus lane cameras" would soon put a stop to that malarkey.

Was your dashcam a present from Santa, by any chance?

Looked more like he was just pissed off with his own bad judgement than impatience :P

Bus lane appears, taxi starts to enter it but sees guy ahead is about to turn left so immediately goes back right to overtake him on the right, Golf sees none of this and thinks he has a clear run, ends up having to jam, taxi driver correctly goes back into the bus lane, golf driver is probably pissed off with himself while cursing everyone else and rides into the distance... and of course the boards.ie inevitable question: Why aren't you getting into the left most driving lane after passing the taxi? :pac:

Unfortunately a lot of quality lost when uploaded to Youtube. View it in the highest resolution you can.

At least he didn't spill too many of his chips.

I've been watching quite a few of those Russian dash cams and whilst they appear to be terrible drivers they are out to help like a shot if someone gets hurt.
Comparing that to Asian car crashes I've seen and people carry on like nothing has happened. The word humanity seems to mean nothing to them.

Guy undertaking in the bus lane gets pulled by crouching tiger hidden Garda!

The beauty of this one is that further back at a large motorway exit roundabout he flew around the roundabout in the wrong lane and cut in front of a car last minute, generally driving like a pillock! Aggressive and impatient driver.

There's a huge claim culture in some Asian countries where a victims family can sue a good Samaritan so for that reason people don't stop to help.

I don't know if you remember the case of the baby getting run over and ignored while it was in the middle of the street. Countless people saw it but did nothing for fear of getting sued.

I remember that, the video has been burnt into my head.
I watched one yesterday where a car blatantly knocked an old women off her scooter and she landed head first into the ground.
She was motionless. People were driving around her, walking past her, anything other than go over and help or at the very least call for help.
It's sickening.

The only thing that would have made that more satisfying to see, would be a big new BMW or Merc driver getting the ticket.

We were doing 100km/h if that puts it into perspective as its kinda hard to tell.
He pulls out and sits at about 30km/h causing myself and the guy infront to brake hard.

Sorry I was talking to the fella who pulled out (for all the use that does ), wasn't directed to you at all.

When I'm looking at any of the Youtube videos being put up recently, There is no full screen option anymore so I've to click the video title that brings me to the Youtube video page and then the full screen option is there,

Anyway to fix this or is this the new norm now?

Too many lower spec PC's were locking up in full screen mode, so it makes sense to stop it defaulting to full screen.
