Same roundabout, watch the red volvo

Dunno what the local lane markings are but it would seem he's in the correct lane for someone taking the third exit.

There are no road markings. The exit is straight on so left lane. This is exactly the problem. Some drivers are up to date with rules of the road, some are not but think they're doing it correct going by out of date standards, & most just close their eyes & hope for the best.

It's not though, it's the third exit and nearly at a right angle to the start of the roundabout, I would have taken the right lane

What are you on about? I'm very familiar with that particular roundabout & that exit is straight on. The exit number is utterly & completely irrelevant.

That's the straightest right turn i've ever seen

rocky

You have me rightly confused now. I'm not sure why i'm bothering with someone who doesn't know what a right angle is anyway.

In case it isnt obvious enough from rockys post:



And a link to the UPDATED rules of the road, see page 129:

I don't know the road, from looking the video only the exit does not appear to be straight ahead

Here's some of the drivers I've encountered over the last week. Getting so sick of people who are either: a) in their own little world in their vehicle & completely oblivious to just how dangerous they are; or b) those that simply don't give a sh1t3 about anyone else on the road.


Not only was this one in completely the wrong lane (should have been in the slip road off to the left), she wasn't even aware I was beside her until I used the horn.

What happened at number 3 of your last video? seemed like a normal shoping car park to me, did the first car hit you?

If I'm correct, there's a one way system in that car park, both cars went the wrong way around it.

The estate reversed without looking - can't really see it in the video, so actually kinda pointless me uploading it

And then the last clown going the wrong way.

lads, can we get past Cinios driving skills or otherwise, this thread isn't a 'rate my driving and pick holes in everything I do' thread.

I've cleaned up the thread, but any further attacks will be dealt with appropriately.

Over 5 minutes of video from Russia to pick holes in, enjoy.

Max Power1

wow that russian one was hilarious
Im never driving there!

There's about 40-50 different car crash compilations from eastern Europe on youtube. Think the channel is actually called car crash compilation.

A good reminder of how easy it is to put your life in danger.

That outrageous, he was going ridiculously fast though

I love the way he wasn't fased in the slightest, as soon as the car was out of the way he was straight back flat out.

Can't blame the car driver really, yer man was covering a K every 15 seconds.

240km/h.
Wasn't it in Germany?
If so, then car driver should definitely expect it.

Look in wing mirror.

See/hear bike approaching at speed.

Move out in front of bike.


Yup, great move.

Not trying to absolve the car driver but a bike approaching at that speed would sound more like an aeroplane overhead than a fellow road user.

Back to some local stuff. Not a motorist this time.

This a frequent sight on the Headford Road roundabout in Galway. Cars not just running lights that have gone red, but 3-4 cars going through after the lights have changed. I waited a second or two after my light was green before moving off.

Get yourself a banger, insure it and then pull straight out when the lights go green

Awful stuff, your right, I see it ever time I'm in Galway

A green light does not mean "GO" it means proceed with caution

Yep, but a stop light doesn't mean "ah shure 'tis grand, 3-4 more cars be alright"
If you run a red light and hit someone who crossed on green, you will impress no-one in court with that horsesh*t defence.

Right of way doesn't imply try to crash if you would be technically in the right...
