    Literally could not believe what I was seeing!

    Car came flying up behind me in heavy traffic, flashing and beeping.. pulled in to let him by and then this :eek:

    Car full of travelers giving me the finger and 'tosser' symbol as they pass, then did this with a breakdown truck and van in the hard shoulder up ahead! (One of the lads was under the van changing the wheel :eek:) went straight from the hard shoulder to the overtaking lane, and they back into the hard shoulder. Undertook a few more cars, then got off at newbridge

    Crazy!

    Stolen car? Sure looks like it. Scum like that need to be off the road. Preferably in a small barred room.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I'll bite...

    I assume they had the typical traveller haircut.. 0 on the sides, slicked back on top and the usual inbred looking moon face.

    How do you know they were doing 180? were you doing 150? :)

    Lights on the truck parked on hard shoulder look like fires, what dashcam do you use?

    The reason I asked is that making out that these scumbags are travellers is trying to paint travellers in a bad light without proof, which is racism.
    It's the same when Dubs call all scumbags knackers, which is the old term for travellers. Same with pikeys.

    That's not what I was doing, and you know that!

    If it was a woman, I would have said 'stupid woman'

    And I think I provided pretty concrete proof that they were being assholes

    It's not the same way as what you mentioned! 'Travlers' is what they are and like to be called, hence why I didn't say the terms you mentioned

    Doubt that's stolen, regularly see it rocking around newbridge, any amount of different drivers though.. All ragging the bolix out of it.

    Same few boys had a race on the newbridge-Naas dual carriageway this time last year, one (passat) went on the overtaking lane of the correct side, and the other (passat cc) was in the overtaking lane the far side of the median I.e into oncoming traffic.. It was early On a Sunday morning, I had overheard them in a petrol station saying 'race ya to Smithfield, go go go'

    In a way, it might have been poetic justice if they HAD slammed into the back of that tow truck - a worthy Darwin Award nomination for sure - but ONLY if nobody else was harmed in any way...

    Well people were sitting in the outside lane so he probably picked the safest option! I've often thought of this as it does my head in.

    Abuse is no substitute for rational argument. You put 'these guys are scumbags' together with 'I think travellers are scumbags' and ended up with 'these guys are travellers'. That's not just racist, it's poor reasoning too.

    Yet you always argue in hindsight and nit pick incessantly.

    Perhaps he should have asked them to pull over to discuss the matter.

    What does that even mean, 'argue in hindsight'? You might think pulling people up on racism is nit-picking - I don't.

    Perhaps he should have left the matter out - I don't recall anyone enquiring after their ethnicity.

    I'm sorry Biko, but I could spot a traveller a mile off.

    First of all they are an ethnic group not a race and secondly if you don't like an observation made by a regular poster who actually posts his own content rather than picking at other peoples posts apart then i guess that sucks for you,

    I bet you have fun playing chess choosing a colour.
