I imagine he was acknowledging his error.

I imagine that too, the title of the video was sarcastic.. This guy drives for a living. Maybe he was tired or concentrating on something else. No Excuse for driving like that

This Civic gets angry when he makes a major mistake. His driving made me angry enough to pull back in front of him. I'm sure they'll be comments...

Haha, Ballycoolin is pure madness. If you want dashcam footage all you have to do is drive around one roundabout and you get plenty of footage :P

Thankfully I no longer work down there so I don't have to deal with idiots every time I'm going to/from work :eek:

I am sick of these cretins, they fail at trying to cut you off so get angry and aggressive.

I actually regret braking on a couple of occasions, I would love to have slammed into them and let them explain to the guards why they passed, pulled in and slammed on.

Sent that footage to your local garda station.

There is enough evidence for this idiot to get what he deserves.

Let us know the outcome. He needs to be taught a lesson..

Pointless as there's the two of them in it, understandably.

Those roundabouts are a pain in the ass though, I drive around there 4 times daily and you'll always have someone take a straight line through, despite another car alongside.

I used to stick rigidly to the lanes when I'm the only car for miles but they're head wrecking when you travel there so often and there's so many.

It's not about the roundabout stuff, but what happens later.

When the OP pulled in front of them? As I said, I can understand but neither will come out well if it was brought to the Gardai.

You could imagine what concoction of a story the Civic driver could come up with too...

I did not like that part either... I'm pretty sure the OP would get a verbal warning though if said he really got heated...

Not doing nothing is like accepting this kind of behaviour and saying it's grand. Lack of lane discipline is one thing, this was simply crazy.

A picture is worth a thousand words...

Bull. Simdan did nothing remotely wrong there, there is no requirement to give way to someone pulling across your lane. Civic was 100% wrong at the roundabout by using the wrong lane and pulling across another vehicle, he was criminal afterwards by intentionally trying to cause a crash.

I said I was sick of these drivers, I am equally sick of people on this board who try to blame innocent parties by claiming that any action at all in the face of bad driving makes them at fault.

Simdan you were correct, it was only a matter of hours before the criticisms came in.

He actually did... 1:04...

Did you watch all of it?
I'm not talking about the roundabout, it's afterwards. He admitted himself he pulled into the lane in front of the other car, after it undertook.

After the scumbag intentionally tried to cause a collision forcing him out of his lane. He did not retaliate by braking after pulling back in.

Hypothtical question but its probably happened- cnut like that pulls in in front of u and slams on the brakes and you end up rear ending him, do you get out of the car and confront the scumbag or straight onto the local garda station?

Heres my little incident from today at a roundabout, nothing as exciting

Genius idea, the Gardai just love to see drivers who decide to punish other drivers for whatever reason. They never think about issueing fines or points to drivers who brake test others, regardless of whatever justification they think they may have.

27-06-2016 11:54PM

I've never been brake checked before like that, but if I was in that situation I think I'd have to have words. I wouldn't be angry or aggressive or anything, but I think I'd be going window-knocking.

Imagine if you'd hit him. Your insurance for years to come would be through the roof, and he'd probably have a personal injury claim. I wouldn't be at all pleased.

Simdan, what way are you wired up there with cameras? You're obviously using two separate cameras, for front and back, but how do you find them?

I'd like to get a rear-facing camera, but my windows are fairly heavily tinted on the back, so im not sure if the footage would be of any use at all.

I don't think anyone here is criticizing Simdan. I think they have his best interest at heart when advising him to be cautious of how the Gardai interpret might interpret all the footage.
Which I think Simdan is already aware of from his post.
You'd have to be a Buddhist monk not to have reacted to the Civic driver.

I see the Audi driver behind the civic pulls the same lane change maneuver. Looks like a common occurrence on that roundabout.
