Those lads were driving like arseholes. Delighted the Gardai pulled them over and delighted to see they weren't so tough when they were stopped compared to 30 seconds previously where they were calling them pr1cks.

How were they driving like arseholes?

but just so we're clear then, it's ok for Gardaí to drive like lunatics when others are apparently driving like arseholes then?

Not really, but acting a muppet whilst driving a modified car is a quick way to get the Gardai to be interested in you.


I won't disagree, but I find they don't really trouble you unless you break the law and/or you piss them off.

Can be seen as breaching the peace so they can act on it.

I've had air horns confiscated, much to do with sport and being out too late

Oh yes that's certain that blaring the horn on gardai will make them interested in yourself.
And those lads should be pacified adequately.
But unless someone is running away or being dangerous criminal, I really can't see a reason for stopping cars like that by gardai.
Also gards shouldn't shout at people even if they are dealing with scumbags.
There should be some code of ethics.

Okay, so my dashcam didn't save my ass here, but I thought this guy was funny. First he comes out of a lane too fast and makes the car ahead brake suddenly. He then double parks and just looks at me like "Yeah, so what!".

I'm some boards members will say I could have just passed him earlier but I thought he might be stopping for a few seconds at first and then when I realised he wasn't, traffic was approaching. What do you think? Is double parking like this okay for a commercial vehicle? Sorry for the language, I wasn't in the best mood that day.

Oh come on.
You've seen he had a breakdown, as his hazards were on.

Why did you beeped at him?

You should have either helped him to fix his van, or just drive off if you didn't have time.

He didn't break down ... He double parked there outside his pub

I think he did.
Possibly he run to the pub to make a phone call for a towing truck.

Farmer was negligent for not having someone in front and behind, but that idiot deserves everything that happened to his car. Going way too fast with animals on the road. I hope the poor moo moo was ok.

While not in the country side and not in Russia, but no further than last Sunday I approached a cow running in the middle of the road - watch now - in the centre of Galway city.

Unfortunately I didn't have dashcam with me.

Typical Sun reporting! Everything revolves around sex and they couldn't even get that bit right. Two mating cows. I am sure one of them was a bull .

A friend of mine hit one in the back roads of Galway, wrote off his 1 year old 320D, lucky to be alive. Cow got up wandered back into its field and died.

Farmer tried to say there was no cow :eek:

Looks like it to me.

I wish I could go through life being blissfully stress-free as the guy in the second clip. I can picture him being happy out, unaware of the world around him.

I think he only ran one junction, but two lights for that junction, Imagine being that carefree (careless) in life. I've seen that happen before but the guy was brought back to reality pretty quick by the truck that almost t-boned him

Am I being overly sensitive in thinking that this is very very dangerous, and pretty disgraceful behaviour from any parent?

Dunno to be honest, there's a sensor there so maybe that kicked in.
