    How the heck did a taxi flip over there? It's not like you should be speeding in that area?

    That position certainly looks like he was trying to make the light, sped around that bend and flipped. It would be the only logical explanation. That or as mentioned above Magneto has something to do with it.

    not saying this is what the taxi was doing but the amount of red light breakers seems to have become mental in Limerick in the last few weeks. virtually every junction now seems to have a good few cars running red at every light change.

    The council announced a few years back that nearly 20% of cars break the red light. They can see it on the cameras mounted on top of the lights, but ridiculously the Guards can't us the cameras for prosecutions.

    One of the biggest culprits for breaking red lights is in fact the Gardai. I don't mean when it's an emergency either.

    And empty taxis flying down the bus lanes that aren't needed in the first place and pulling out in front of cars once they get to the end of the lane, have almost had a few accident because of them inconsiderate morons..

    That been said hope the taxi driver and if any passengers were on board the vehicle are all ok.

    Does that mean it's ok if they have a passenger onboard ?
    They're allowed to use the Bus Lanes regardless of having a passenger or not.
    All of which would appear to be totally unrelated to this particular incident.
