Glad the taxi driver got his license revoked! Such dangerous and idiotic behaviour! Can't believe he had the cheek to appeal!

In relation to the HGV driver, is it just me or is he leaving feck all room between him and the car in front? Never understand the whole "must be stuck up the a$$ of the vehicle in front" mentality.

I'm always curious what's happened before the start of the clip when the clip doesn't include the start of the encounter.

It was obvious he was just blocking the taxi driver from moving in front of him! Stupid behaviour from a truck driver.

But I bet the taxi driver won't be doing that again so in my opinion it's effective.

He was right up the ar$e of the car in front at 46 / 47 secs when the taxi had already passed him.

I don't think he was blocking the taxi at all though, you can clearly see the trucker was in the lane and the taxi was trying to nudge in (although as someone else pointed out we don't know what happened before hand). Nevertheless stupid to try and take on a truck!

So am i.
But didnt Mr Taxi driver not mention himself he had it all on camera at 1:00 mark?
The fact that his clip isnt posted all over the internet says something too.

What in Gods name could have happened on a lovely day and everyone just tippin along nicely enjoying the music on their car/lorry stereos.... WHAT would make a man get so enraged lol... I wouldn't like to see him if something serious happened in his life. Depression, anger issues, family stuff, money stuff etc etc whatever,, he needs to get help!?

Maybe not as a taxi driver but I'd say he's prone to losing the plot every now and again.
Over the years I've just accepted that some shocking driving is part of motoring.
Not being rash and a cool head is better dealing with it for, whatever about the other person but your own well being at the least.

Why the sudden swerve if he was watching what was going on?

Seve OB · 14-09-2017 03:13PM

What about the poor girl who was a passenger in the taxi???

Wondered myself what could of gone on beforehand. Looks like it may have been 2 lanes merging into 1??

usually the right hand lane would merge to the left, no? In the video the taxi is trying to come in form the left. Crazy carry on either way, and you're right, I'd say the passenger/fare was in a right state.

Two from yesterday.

First clip: doesn't look all that close on the cam. Looked close live.

Second clip: believe it or not, the stupid bint in the VW was taking the next exit. All her dodging was to get a couple of car lengths up the queue. I really thought the truck had collected her. She had dodged out of lane 1 in front of the truck, then out to lane 3 and back in to lane 2 in front of the truck again.

Really? It's the truck driver's fault?
LMAO.

I for one am glad that the behaviour of the ape in the taxi has resulted in a penalty and removal of taxi license. You couldnt trust your wife/daughter/mother to be driven by that moron.

Or at a minimum report it to the tyre company whose name is plastered all over the back of the van.

I wouldn't bother my hole contacting the company tbh. Gardai or nothing.

Aye, very good chance the owner of the company was the driver, or else he'd be delighted his driver is 'saving time' and will just tell you to get f**ked,

Be careful about doing things like that, at least one poster here has "disappeared" after trying to name and shame a company after one of their van drivers frequently took liberties at a junction.

It's such a pity that roundabouts aren't designed so that you can go round again if you realize you're in the wrong lane.
Oh wait :rolleyes:

Just minor things but an excuse to use the new editing software.

First clip is common in that spot, they were skipping a que of around 40 cars.
Last clip is a major pet hate of mine

The last clip, invisible overtake does my nut in. N7 is especially bad for that.

I travel the n7 daily so I feel your pain.

What bugs me even more about the last clip is there isn't even a junction ahead for at last 3km so she's literally getting in the middle lane for the sake of it... "Ooh look everyone else is over there, maybe I should be too" :mad:
