First dashcam video :)

Is your second clip here?

Where there seems to be an accident every other day...

Yep it is - well spotted! I work nearby and you're right, it's fairly dangerous by all accounts. There was a serious accident there just last week. What I put up there was the worst/closest I've seen, which thankfully turned out okay. It mightn't be clear but the van driver had to lash on the brakes and had the hazards on coming to a near stop!
I would have thought a roundabout there would make sense?

looks like you stopped before the box when you there was room for you to pass through it and then stop at the crossing. I can see where confusion would come from though.

we mostly all do illegal things every time we drive, this guy went around a stationery vehicle that maybe shouldn't have stopped there.

So you wanted him to stop in the middle of the yellow box and obstruct anything coming from the right? Some nit pickers on here constantly trying to pin blame on the cam car. OP done nothing wrong here, get over it.

There is space between the yellow box and pedestrian crossing for a car, I don't think isambard was blaming the poster rather explaining that the 'junction' isn't what it appears to be. I would have stopped where the poster did too for what it's worth.

and so would I in probability but it's a poorly designed road but it's still a pedestrian crossing and doesn't apply to veheicles turning right before it. In my view the white line has been applied in error and should be at the lights themselves.

The side road on the right has a STOP sign , that to the left looks like a YIELD and this also points to those lights not controlling the junction

Saw a car stopped on a roundabout with its indicator on to turn off and down into oncoming traffic on the N22.

Started beeping to try and get their attention as soon as the car started heading off down it.

The car behind me was beeping too and pulled closer to it to try and get them to stop. Hopefully they realised before driving into traffic.

Christ almighty!!! Elderly driver I presume? Bizarrely, driving the wrong way down a motorway/dual carriageway is 1 penalty point (at least it was until recently). Speeding is supposedly 3 times as dangerous.

Same thing last night. I was on the M9, and there was a car going the wrong way. I knew my missus would be on the same road, so I rang her (hands free) to warn her.

'Watch out, there's one car going the wrong way on the M9..!' I told her.

'What do you mean 'one car'..? There's bleedin'loads of'em..!!'

She replied..!

M9 is from Dublin to Waterford. N22 is from Cork towards Killarney. Is something wrong in your description?

9 injured, including 3 children. Thankfully no deaths. Polish Police are appealing for witnesses.

Warning - it's with original sound from dashcam owner's car, so consider to mute before watching.

This accident indeed looks horrible.
And it's very close to my family home. I've driven that road (between Tarnow and Nowy Sacz) hundreds if not thousands of times.
Very sad to see things like that there.

Drivers like this should be put off the road. No amount of signs will make any difference to them as they simple just don't see them.

Tried to get the license plate but not successfully.
Pretty sure it isnt a rental as it is 10Cxxxx or 12Cxxxx

Someone who pulls a stunt like that shouldnt just be taken of the road, they should be put under permanent house arrest

I'll try looking at the raw video should be clearer, not sure what the story is with posting the REG on here though.

inforfun · 23-08-2017 10:45AM

Post it to the Garda if you can decipher it.

Poor dog! It looks to me like it's limping a bit. Hopefully it didn't have an altercation with a car before.

First part of this clip is hilarious but she also goes through a red light very late despite braking for it at first.
No fcuks given at all and a very fitting song in the backround.

That Audi...boils my blood. People will drive right up to the side as if there's two lanes even though they can't go anywhere then block cyclists. The council need to get their finger out and put those orange poles up to separate the lanes. Happens all the time in Lucan. I hope they aren't heading to the driving test centre. Maybe they're going to Cycle Superstore to get a bike to use in that lane...

Don't worry about it, cyclists don't use that lane. As you can see from the video there are minor undulations in the surface, it's an unpleasing colour, placed rather inconveniently at the left of the road way rather than in the centre, and above all extremely dangerous, that kerb and railing are clearly closer than 2 metres, all objects must be a minimum of 2 metres away from cyclists at all times!
:mad:.
