Dash Cams are so essential these days, all the hit and runs, false accusations, recent spawn of dangerous little teenage gang fckers roaming the streets causing chaos. I feel naked without it my cam, it stays on or I don't drive. Dash cameras should be made mandatory.

Totally agree, they should be made mandatory like some other countries around the world. Insurance premiums would reduce straight away too I would imagine.
Since getting my dashcam, I have gotten off with 2 tickets from the guards, one for tailgating and one for switching lane without indicating. Both of them were due to other drivers mistakes and me trying to avoid hitting them. If I didn't have the dashcam I would have an extra couple of points on my licence and 2 fines.
About 2 months ago a woman hit me in Kildare Village and then drove off, parked somewhere else and denied it. I didn't tell her I had a dashcam until she called the guards for me "harassing" her. I waited for the guards to arrive and then I took the dashcam out and showed them, never seen someone so embarrassed before in my life.
Then again in Kildare Village on Saturday, there was a woman packing her car and getting ready to leave so I waited behind her, put my indicator on and moved to the side to let a few of the cars behind me go around while I waited, next thing a car went around me, stopped and tried to go in to the spot I was waiting for, so I blocked her from getting in, I then got out to ask what was going on and what she was doing, she told me she was there first and that I was in the wrong, we ended up sitting here for nearly 30 minutes blocking up all the traffic behind us a lot of people from behind us got out of their cars to give out, they all went to her as they saw what she done. A couple went off and mentioned it to security, eventually security came over and she told them she was there first and they tried to get me to move as they told me I was in the wrong, so I refused to move and called the guards, they were out on the roundabout directing traffic so they came straight over within 2 or 3 minutes and I again took the dashcam out and showed them, they gave her a serious giving out to but couldn't ticket her or anything as it is private property. I would have loved to see her get a ticket. A bit disappointing in the end. Turns out there was a spot about 10 spaces up, I had missed the car pull out of it while all this crap was going on, she missed it too and after all this ended up driving past it, about 15 minutes later I spotted her still looking for a parking spot :pac::pac::D
I will take the dashcam video off the cam and post it in the next few days.

Anyway moral of the story is, I think everyone should have a dashcam. I can't understand why people out there still think its pointless to have one.

Car ahead blocks moment of impact, but you get the jist.

You mightn't be able to see it, but the car on the right speeds up as it wants to make the amber filter light for the right turn ahead.

Seemed to be very minor damage for both thankfully.
Grey car a bit naughty to be using that side part of the road as a right filter lane does open up just after point of impact.
Still, I guess the other car was 100% at fault?

Grey car at fault for crossing unbroken cross hatching - it's unbroken for a reason, you don't enter it.

bazz26

Both at fault imo. Focus for pulling out onto a road without being able to see and the Hyundai for impatiently speeding down the outside and into a hatched area.

site_owner

There's no right turn out of that garage nd its still single lane at the exit so silver car was either making an illegal right or doing the same thing Hyundai was doing.

Both at fault to some extent but exiting car will take most of the blame. Not taking care to make sure way was clear.

I've never seen a legally enforceable "no right turn" out of a garage.

No sign saying you cant turn right and can't see why there would be - grey car at fault but insurers would probably say 50/50 fault but the car exiting would be right to not expect a car travelling up the middle of the road. And probably the car in the lane was letting him out thinking ahh shure no idiots gonna fly up on the right

There's hatching in the middle of the road, so by default there is no right turn.

But either way I'd say 50-50. Focus driver drove out blind, and the other lad was driving at speed up the middle of the road.

Hatching that applies to both cars, but in any case I believe that road markings do not preclude entering or exiting premises.

The driver exiting the garage having ascertained the one lane at that point is clear is not to blame for someone breaking the crosshatchings illegally.

And the car on the wrong side of the road flashes.

reason given by the OP for this was there was a car overtaking a car behind him, and the approaching car was flashing to get them out of the way!

for the future use

REMEMBER. You must not enter the yellow box junction unless you can clear it without stopping. An exception is when you want to turn right. In this case, you may enter the yellow box junction while waiting for a gap in traffic coming from the opposite direction.

Now its my turn.

Its actually me being late and stupid. After few sets of waiting I decided to brake the light. 80e fine and 3 points. My question is, was it that/too late ?
of course Guard on the bike had to be there for me.

Now... unleash the beast

amcalester

Of course it was late, car in front should have stopped too.

Ah we all make stupid decisions at times, fair play for putting it up.

But amber means stop (unless it is unsafe to do so), so even the focus in front was blatantly ploughing through the junction where they should have stopped. The light was actually red when you arrived at the stop line of that set of lights. Completely wrong, and some instant karma too.

Again, fair play Carpentry for putting it up.

Not a leg to stand on.
