Driving in bus lane - 1 point (Failure to comply with traffic lane markings)
Failure to yield at the yield marking at the end of the bus lane - 3 points (Failure to yield right of way at a yield sign/yield line)
Dirty number plate - 0 points (05-D-88161)
Using an indicator while driving a BMW - 0 points

Wow - a BMW using an indicator - that's a rarity.

Isambard · 03-01-2017 04:08PM

yield still applies though I guess

No fisticuffs, just more tedious lane hogging.

Note the SUV that moves from empty lane 1 to lane 2. Always the same here, easily 75% of cars sit in lane 2.

Yes, I moved to lane 1 and passed them. Anyone wanting to start an argument about undertaking don't bother, I am not interested.

Why do people continue to put up dashcam footage to complain about other road users, while there own driving is worse than what they are complaining about.

Nope, not biting...

I got put "back in my box" a few weeks ago on the M8.
This road, like many, is notorious for overtaking lane hoggers every day of the week.

I thought I was dealing with one as usual so I may have gotten a bit too close...

Let the abuse begin, I'm ready with the popcorn

Not going to argue about the clip you quote.

If everybody would drive properly, there wouldnt be a dash cam thread.

So people might be under the impression they didnt do a thing wrong when they post because they just dont know any better.
At the same time you can have someone attacking a posters driving while that poster didnt do anything wrong as the person criticising, doesnt know any better.

(Again, not arguing about the quoted clip).

I am waiting for the middle lane hogger who posts a clip and complains about someone undertaking him. Although that probably happened already.

We are all different people with different views when watching those clips. Some views are just down right moronic though.

Truckermal · 03-01-2017 04:37PM

That's a sound cop right there, I reckon I know him too as he was driving that on the M8 last week.

ofcork · 03-01-2017 04:37PM

What speed were you doing and why did they need to stay in the lane.

Well, you were dealing with one. They are supposed to lead by example and should have been in the left lane a long long while.

Should have flashed them for ****s and giggles.

Agreed.
He could have pulled me in.

Actually not a bus lane at the time you were driving as already pointed out.

And I would argue that he did not need to yield to you as he got there first and was not causing a danger.

But where you could easily get him done is the dirty number plate. Actually, there is a dirty number plate and completely illegible, which that one clearly is. Penalty for that is 3-5 points I believe.

Did you flash him or just get to close?
Leads to the question, why wasn't he driving in the left lane?
Cops do my head in with all the rules of the road they break. Saw one this morning, pulled out of his parking space (A wheelchair spot :rolleyes:) outside Criminal courts on Parkgate street, and proceeded to do a U turn cross 2 lanes of busy traffic crossing a solid white line. If you or me did that lets say at 2 am with nothing on the road, they would throw the book at us... Double standards

Didn't flash him but I think I was about to, I reckon he saw me approaching and threw on the lights when I got too close.

Either way he shouldn't have been where he was. Still prefer your outcome though!

Fair enough about the bus lane however she was speeding, undertook me and didn't yield right of way.

I could not find the dirty number plate penalty on the list.

I think its something like an inaccurate authorisation plate

Isambard · 03-01-2017 08:49PM

the cop could have been observing someone ahead, no doubt he had his reasons for hogging the fast lane ;-)

Merc shouldn't have entered r/b, neither should Saab, cam had right off way, looks like there was only one exit in the direction they were traveling. Are you Saab guy by any chance?

No not Saab driver

Carrickmines from another angle.
Its on Facebox also. Turns out Jason was heading back to collect some furniture he bought.
He had reset his cheap dash cam and that was why no sound and incorrect date.

I don't know, beating up an old man would hardly set my day on fire.

First off, he was not an Old Man unless you consider mid 40s or so to be old.
Secondly, and more importantly, if you are prepared to throw the first punch in any situation (Saab driver grabbed him first and then took a few swings at him) you better be prepared to back it up or get your ass seriously kicked.
He got what he deserved, the dumb fcuk.

I look it as left should be curb crawlers, middle for driving at speed limit and right for over taking.
