To the guy on the scooter:

bnt

I'm talking to you, the guy who got clobbered on Camden St. in Dublin about an hour ago, when a car pulled out in front of you. I'm not in position to say who ran the red light - you or the car - but I doubt you'd get a bookie to quote you odds that it was the car. It doesn't really matter: even if you have an amber light, you take your life in your hands if you whizz through a crossing at 20mph with cars on all sides.

I'm a pedestrian or a cyclist, no fan of cars or drivers, but in a situation like that you ride defensively: give drivers every chance to see you, and be prepared to drop the anchor if you don't like what you see ahead. I won't get in to the legality of these scooters on the roads, which has been covered elsewhere. In a battle between you and over a ton of metal and glass, you're on a loser.

I doubt your injuries are life-threatening - I saw you holding your side as I walked past after others were already helping you - so I have no reservations about calling you a numbnuts who is lucky to be alive. It's dark, you're on a scooter on busy streets, dressed in dark clothes with no helmet, lights or reflectors that I could see. Just to add insult to injury: the noise you made as you bounced off the car was scary, and made some children nearby start crying. :mad:

This reads like a 90s spoken word piece that would be played over slow electronic music. Like Sunscreen but more downbeat for the comedown and chillout room.

Do nightclubs still have a chillout room?

Is this for real - you came here to insult and give out to an accident victim, quite possibly blameless if they have indeed observed the lights?
Or is this post a joke I'm not getting, a parody of "fkn cyclists" posts?

TLDR - Hey dickhead, I don't like the sound you made when you got smashed by a car.

Scooter driver is a hero I think. Seen the amber and decided to be a gambler.

Man that makes decisions and stands by them. Not a hurler from the ditch like the op.

Sure, he stood by his decisions ... until he was knocked off his feet by a car. If it was guaranteed to work, it wouldn't be a gamble, I suppose. :rolleyes:

Insulting random women online does not make you "based", actually it makes you a weak bully, neither funny nor clever, just a boy who picks on others to make himself feel better. My advice to you would be to go into a random bar near you and insult the biggest guy in there, instead of random women online. I'm sure he will be impressed with how "based" you are. Before he shatters your weak incel chin. Hopefully one of you walks into my local bar and picks on me, I'd love to rock a mysognistic jaw.

What pub you in bub?

I’m stalling while he keeps drinking, going to catch him on the way out when he’s too drunk to defend himself.

I’m a tactical ninja.

Just jogging down the Straffan road at the moment for my warm up.

When you get served your chips in Supermacs, tell the fella serving you that, I’ll have already eaten. Good complex carbs.

If there's one thing I can't stand it's militant feminists

If there's one thing I can't stand it's drunk militant feminists

If there's one thing I can't stand it's drunk militant feminists who somehow manage to be cool enough to squeeze in cool words and statements like 'based', 'incel' and 'rock a mysognistic jaw' into a simple statement

If there's one thing I can't stand it's militant feminists who DON'T READ A POST PROPERLY BEFORE LAUNCHING THEIR MILITANT FEMINIST RANT !!!

Closing thread.

This is not the place to have a rant at a RTA victim regardless who is at fault.

Also there was a troll which has derailed thread into a mexican standoff in the making.
