I expect the insurance company will be on to me for a copy.

You should only give footage to the Garda. The participants and insurers should get it from the Garda, not you.

I wonder would it have been any better if he hadn't the garage door open? Probably not, considering the house afterwards.

Most have been the full moon . The driving I seen all day while working in Dublin today was terrible.

Prime example. 05 TN 2255

GAA final weeks are always a bit nuts. You should have seen the carry on on the M50 after the match. One fan sitting on the window ledge videoing his mates in another car.

On a motorway.

It seems thread gets derailed by roundabout chat/confusion.
I have repeatedly asked for it to stop but it seems it just won't go away and it drowns out the videos.

Therefore as suggest I can create a thread: "How to use a roundabout" and move over all the roundabout posts so this thread can stay on target.
Ok?

That insurance scammer video above, I mean, what the actual F*CK!! I liked the fella near the end who got out and gave the other guy a good smack for his troubles.

I don't like to wish bad things on people, but I am having some very dark thoughts as to what I think those people deserve. I hope they have the most painful and drawn out deaths in the future.

The one towards the end where the driver gets out and punches the scammer is a bit longer, he kicks the crap of of him and drags him off the road... Justice

How did that happen ?
Car turns right while van is doing the same vice versa

Am I the only one seeing this trend?

I've seen it twice before,
Posted the other two before, but included below for those who didn't see already.

Skip to 1:30 for the action

The last video was right dodgy but what got me was the amount of cars without any lights on at all.
Same as this morning in heavy fog, N3 onto M50 and half the cars hadn't even got a sidelight on

I work near there, saw the aftermath at lunchtime. The impression I got was that the van was doing a quick u-turn at the entrance to the industrial estate and the car may have cut the corner when turning in. Probably hear the full story next week.

Actually that was at 5:30 this evening and it was very bright, so much so that the camera got totally confused about the exposure and made it look ultra dark. So safe to ignore the lighting.

edit:
Oh I guess you were talking about the old clip with the Mercedes, yeah in that clip people would have been safer having their lights on as it was fairly dull that morning.

Be safe, be seen!
That message simply isn't getting through.

@dolanbaker, your SIG says DLR rather than DRL.

The be safe be seen message wasn't aimed at drivers though, I guess it should be though.

Some bad driving in 30 mins around the Ongar distributor Road's ...
Clip 1. Red light jumpers
2. Undertaking and speeding in a 24hr bus lane
3. Undertaking and speeding in a 24hr bus lane
4. Car in front almost sideswipes a car thats almost on our side of the road driving across the ghost island

Would come in handy for motorcyclists also..

I was driving in a 24hr bus lane myself today!
At Newlands cross the leftmost lane had been rebranded as City/M50 North for the last few months, but now they've undone it and stuck a sign up "bus-lane reinstated".

Lots of people still going down the left lane since they've not removed the road markings!
What a mess.

Ugh, I'll be heading home that way this evening. I'm not looking forward to the inevitable chaos and panicked lane changes. :mad:

What a mess.

Plus, where after the left/right split - now the two lanes are for "city" whereas for the past while, the rightmost lane was for right turn to belgard only.
Caused additional confusion, but I managed to skip approx 15 mins of traffic by reading the signs.
Wish they'd just stop messin with it tbh it's a hell of a junction at the best of times.

Here are 3 clips
First one - a truck locking up
Second one - a night - roundabout cutting
Third one - The golf was actually reversing and the 407 at the very far toll both was also reversing
