Couple of years back I went and got D licence.(bus) I was shocked at how many things I noticed I had let slip over the years. Firm believer everybody should resit driver training every 10 years.

I would advocate having to do some form of exam in order to renew your licence.
Most professional bodies require their members to be re-assessed periodically, so why not all drivers.

The world? I think you mean Ireland!

Oh I never saw the video, it was removed from YouTube before I got a chance. I assume there was a crash once the insurance company was involved.

Apologies, first attempted upload so I hope this works! Absolutely sick and tired of being cut up at roundabouts by people staying in the right hand lane and carrying straight on. This time I was forced onto the kerb. Makes my blood boil and happens numerous times each week at this spot (in both directions)

I don't hang around when I'm beside someone on those roundabouts.

Get ahead of them on the outside lane so IF there is a collision, they're at fault.

Huh?

****ed up things, roundabouts like that.
2 visible lanes to get on them but once you are, there are no lanes anymore.



****ty little car isnt staying in his of her imaginary lane either, taking the racing line after leaving the roundabout.

The lane arrows are misleading here in fairness.

Looks like a filter lane to go left IMHO.

Oh how I so wish I had a job driving a tank and could just plow into these idiots who have no idea of the simplest things when it comes to driving...

I'm pretty sure both lanes have straight on markings approaching that roundabout which would cause drivers in either lane to go straight on.

Given the number of roundabouts near that part of Blanch, I'm amazed at just how bad people seem to be.

There's no bloody consistency on the markings though. 1 roundabout the left lane will be marked left turn only, the next it's marked so you can go straight etc.

Bonus: Helmetcam but worth posting and would have been in the suggestions on the left side of dumpert anyway.

Case in point around that particular roundabout. In the direction the OP was traveling there are three roundabouts in quick succession. Roundabout #1 has left lane as straight and left, roundabout #2 has left lane as left only while roundabout #3 (the one in the video) nobody seems to know.

Had a look on Google Maps and one's a bus lane until the last few car lengths. That would mean approaching in the right lane, and then flipping over to the left before going straight through?? Sorry, have to say having never used that road before, I'd have gone straight through in the right lane too.

The thinking there is so the cyclist can see traffic coming at them and be more aware than you are when your back is to traffic. Walk against traffic, bike with traffic but maybe at night they felt safer going against traffic (probably due to having no lights!). Not saying it's right mind!

If you dont have lights, you walk.

Here is one from earlier today, lights go green for us but don't let that stop the Nissan....

Lethal roundabout for wrong lanes, no indication and red light jumpers.

I have been hit on that roundabout twice.

The white car driver is thinking (perhaps not unreasonably) this guy (op) is trying to overtake me on the inside and I'm not having it ...

Honestly I would say they never even seen the cam car.

So many do be in a different world other then actually driving.

I have a similar roundabout on my commute.

For someone not really used to drive there, it might just be that they see "your" green cross the road, as theirs.



Had it a few times at "my" roundabout with lights like that i got confused for a split second.

Not an excuse, more trying to find a reason for them to break the red so late.

punisher5112

It was an elderly gentleman he did wave sorry further into sandyford.

From where he would come our green wouldn't be too easy to see.

I would say he seen others going through and just followed even though they actually had a green.

I don't know why the road designers / NRA / Local authorities keep persisting with small roundabouts with two lanes marked on the approach, but no 2 lanes marked around it or on the exit. They are trying to make a quart fit into a pint bottle. It's fairly simple. If the roundabout and approach roads are not big enough really to have two lanes marked from approach to exit, so get rid of the two lanes marked on the approach.

There won't be any more holdups compared to now as the roundabout is the limiting step, not the approach road. It'll be a lot safer too.

Overtaking on a solid white line, overtaking on a pedestrian crossing, overtaking on a junction, and probably speeding.
I think very possibly he could have said bye bye to his licence.
