the bully in audi

Where was this fella in this mad story? All I see is a BMW passing you after you passed an Audi.

I'm not sure what you'd be reporting as that video shows nothing but sloppy overtaking.

Just a judgement at the time gauging his speed. There was about 2.5 artic lorry lengths between us. I would have had to swerve in and then brake and then move back out immediately to make it work and I didn't think it was the safest option.

Alternatively I could have speed up to 130+ to make the bully in audi happy and complete the overtake maneuver in 20 seconds instead of 30 seconds.

In nearly every case I'd have put the boot down tbf but when you have himself behind me I said he can wait the extra second rather than get a potential speeding ticket and encourage bad driving.

All this is what's wrong and the mentality we have on Irish roads

The simple rule on the motorway is keep left when not overtaking, try doing it and you might find you have less confrontations with other drivers

BMW*

I keep mixing up the two.



He's behind me driving about 2ft from my bumper the entire time.

You see him practically clip me as I move back in to the left lane.


Other mad fella is guy in Sisk car doing 140km/h and swerving + tailgating all over the shop to intimidate toyota.

I guess you had to be there

Hyperbole much? I know its the boards.ie way to dogpile the op for innocuous things. My overtake is hardly "all that is wrong with irish motorists".

Yeah good thing I was overtaking so doing 125km/h.
No need for the smart arse comment either. It's rare I experience confrontations with other drivers.

Pretty much yeah. It all happened in <2 minutes.

I posted this to recap on what happened and learn from it.

Not sure what else I could have done other than dived back into left lane and braked from 125 to 105 to accommodate bullies tailgating and speed and swerving.
If I had have done that and posted the video, no doubt I'd have received even more criticism from above users who conveniently want to ignore everybody else.

Me chilling a bit to let Sisk driver get ahead resulted in BMW man tailgaiting me.
Me diving back into lane behind audi would have been a sudden braking manouever at the expensive of "now now you should always be in lane 1"

FWIW there was 4 seconds gap between front of Toyota and Audi driver.

Wouldn't be too keen on squeezing in there at such a speed difference i don't know about the rest of ye.

Anyway at the risk of being more pedantic I'll just take it as a lesson learned.

"I reduce CC to 120 because fúck you now if you think I'm going to speed up to suit you"

one man's vengence is another's road rage.

LRNM

The rage had already started before I said "you know what I'm not going above 125 because you're trying to bully me". The vast majority of drivers wouldn't tolerate such shíte acting.



I didn't brake check him or anything.

It’s boards, I wouldn’t worry. Normally if you post the video then you’re automatically wrong.

It doesn't matter if you're doing 80 or 180 in the overtaking lane and do everything by the book, there will always be some arsehole dangerously tailgating, and someone on boards.ie to defend them.

If it was a case of pulling out in front of him them I might forgive him tailgating for a few sencond while he braked or let off the gas. Not for that period of time though. I'd be going to the Gards.

Going to the Gardai with what exactly? From that video all you see is someone overtaking cars with a dash cam and then a car passing the dash cam as he pulled into the left lane. You don't see if OP pulled out in front of the BMW or if the BMW was tailgating him. Quite common for trial by media these days and the story with most traction generally wins.

But the poster is wrong. They didn't move back left in a timely fashion after they completed their overtake. It's not rocket science.

If one person is aggravating multiple drivers then I guess everyone else must be wrong

What is most noticeable to me is how the poster initially moved into the overtaking lane & remained there for 35 seconds, while not actively overtaking.
They spent 90 seconds plus in the overtaking lane, only passing three vehicles in that time.
Vehicles would have travelled 3km+ in that time.

That's a needlessly long time to spend overtaking & understandably causes frustration. It's the way here though & doesn't excuse the other drivers' actions.
Two wrongs don't make a right.

I've gone to the Gardai with no video, and it was taken seriously. Video is just a backup to a statement. If the OP pulled in front, what is the BMW doing still tailgating almost 2 minutes later?

From the video, if anyone pulled out when they shouldn't have it was the first Mazda 3. The OP was steadily gaining on them, as was the Fiesta and they still pulled out early. Nothing the OP can do about that.

The OP also must go by the rules of the road, and not cut off someone they have just overtaken. Doing 120km/h, it takes over 20 seconds to build up a recommended 2 second gap over a car doing 110km/h, before pulling in.

In any case, I think OP probably could have been quicker, but was not dangerous, and is not required to break the speed limit to accommodate the BMW. The BMW is dangerous.

Yeah you might have assumed it was taken seriously but your can rest assured it wasn't.

Again you're making assumptions there. Where did you see the BMW tailgating?

BTW I really could care less but fascinated by people assuming OPs story to be true.

So I'm lying about how seriously the Gardai took it, how they contacted the driver, and how they called me with updates?

And the OP is also lying about the tailgating?

I guess it's easy to call people liars online when you know full well it's impossible to prove otherwise. I'm hardly posting a Pulse number, and the OP has no rear camera. I'm just taking what the OP has said at face value.

Why do these dopes drive so fast when they can’t see in front of them.

They think as it's a motorway there is no need to slow down, the mind plays tricks, education is key.... They basically have tunnel vision, tired or distracted and motor on....

Very similar in the ice or snow, some don't change their driving to suit the condition.
