That one has been well used - the original video with that was some months/years ago

It's on nearly every Peugeot clip. I think it's from the Inbetweeners

Somewhere in Dublin... Just as the Duggan Systems bus van enters the bus lane, a cyclist joins the same lane - without checking for traffic first. He survives and can shortly after be seen on the other side of the road, again in the bus lane, now cycling against the direction of traffic.

Also in this video: plenty of undertaking in the bus lane and general suspension of the rules of the road and common sense. Probably a traffic violation every ten seconds on average.

At least they have the decency to display the warning flags so you know how bad they are at driving.

That is what those flags are for right?

11-01-2017 01:41AM

I thought that the flags were for speeding up the weight loss of the fuel tank!

Timestamp on the video says it's after 7pm. I don't know that road. Are the bus lanes on it open to general traffic after 7?

That's the Crumlin (childrens hospital on the right) to long mile road. That was during the euro's by the look of it with all the flags, as far as I'm aware tose bus lanes only operate until 7pm. There's still a bit of speedy undertaking going on though.

At least he didn't drive off, wonder does the company get billed, driver fined for breach of H&S, careless driving or something like that.

I was wondering the same at the time. That was a massive clean up job and could have been very easily prevented.

Not to mention the cost to the company of the load lost too...

Same thing happened outside Mitchelstown in 2015 but instead of spuds it was fish. Heard it it cost ~100k to fix the road

neris · 12-01-2017 10:04AM

More then likely and I'm sure the rsa inspectors will be having a trip down to the hauliers yard for a nice rummage through all tacho files, cvrt certs etc.

josip · 12-01-2017 10:38AM

At least it can be cleaned up.
There's an awful lot of concrete spillage "rumble strips" at various junctions.
Once it spills and sticks it never wears off.

That sounds very fishy.

true, although we were lucky we didn't have rain that day - I'd suspect there would be unwanted "rumble strips" on that section!

Milks meant to be the worst when it spills. Heard before that they have to totally resurface the road if a milk tanker goes over our a trucks sheds a load of cartons. Something in the milk reacts with the asphalt which causes it to disintegrate very quickly

inforfun · 12-01-2017 02:02PM

Must happen a lot then, milk tankers falling over, when i look at the roads i drive on.

Very early starts (04.00) and late finishes and no taco on vehicles drawing milk or perishable farm produce.

Did they just stop for no reason?

Voodoomelon · 12-01-2017 08:47PM

Very poor reaction from the Avensis, barely swerves for the oncoming car and sits on the brake to a standstill.

Typical Irish driving. Same exact thing anytime they hear an emergency service siren, just stamp on the brakes and sit blocking everyone including the ambulance/garda.

But sure he wasn't breaking the shpeed limit so is officially a great driver.

Four Phucs Ache · 12-01-2017 09:07PM

Very lucky cam car was not a truck or van with a heavy load !

Sherfin · 12-01-2017 09:10PM

Nothing to do with the guy coming the other way on the wrong side of the road?

That was the whole reason for it. Amazing how trivial it looks on the video but at the time it felt like it was a lot closer and happened quicker. I didn't know why he was braking at all until I finally copped the other car. Avensis started braking lightly then slammed on them which caught me by surprise as I hadn't seen why he was doing it.

Think he got a fright though. Had a small one myself. Could have stopped a bit quicker but had some others cars close behind me so didn't want to get rear ended.

Looking at it he came around bend and car was right in front of them, the other car was only just over the line when level. Poor bugger in front must have nearly shat themselves. Wet road not helping either.

If you count the guys parked on the pavement and cycle lane, about every five seconds, I'd guess.
