    Years ago before child seats and belts were mandatory my sister went out the back door asthe car was driving around a corner, wasnt a nice experience

    There used to be a hackney driver with a mini bus in my local town who was notorious for mishaps and dangerous driving.
    One day he picked up a mother and toddler in a buggy.
    He told her to leave the child in the buggy and put both in the back via the back door.
    She told him no, that she would hold the child in her arms.
    Off they heads up a big hill in the town and as they were near the top, the back door opens and buggy fly's out and goes all the way down the hill.

    Same driver pulled straight out of a housing in front of me without looking several times.

    The guys are just nosy looking for dashcam footage. Ample opportunity to just overtake and get on with it

    If you ever hear "onlookers are causing delays", you can be sure they're there

    See that type of ridiculous driving so much. The hassle he caused by that and the potential issues. What would have happened if the cars in inside lane were not taking the exit.

    You mean the truck?
    What's wrong with his overtaking?
    Other cars must be doing ridiculously low speed if he can overtake them like that at 90km/h.

    I was going to say I've never seen someone crumble under so little but I've watched way too many dashcam videos to know better... But she's a terrible driver

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

    So you should allow for some crazy taxi driver passing on inside on a ditch ?
    WTF

    One from this evening, through the red on the wrong side of the road.


    Why are you slowing slowing slowing on a green light. That would annoy anyone. Were you making sure not to make it, looked that way.

    Sometimes, you just know that you're not going to make it through in time, so what's the point in flooring it and then having to stamp on the brakes!
    Having said that, going a bit faster (speed limit) earlier they would have made it OK .

    He very much appeared to maintain the same speed as the light was green up ahead. He slowed down on amber and stopped on red as he, and any normal person, should.

    Did you miss the nut job in the white van going through a red on the wrong side of the road?!!!!!

    Didn't look like he slowed down much, but that turn is a T junction with pedestrians and bikes coming in all directions you'd need to slow down a little taking it anyway IMO

    Any normal person should of stopped at the stop line instead of entering the junction, doesn't excuse the white van going through like a loon.

    Are you referring to my video?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,815 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Seems you slowed and let him in. Should have kept boot in and had a little faith that he could see you.

    She actually. You can't see it in the video, but she wasn't increasing her speed. If I didn't slow down, she would have just veered off into the hard shoulder. I'd be responsible for the accident if I didn't slow down to let her in.


  • Posts: 31,828 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    It's not as if she didn't have plenty of time to get up to speed! Some people simply don't understand the concept of matching your speed to the speed of traffic already on the motorway before "zipping" in.

    Looks like a serious crash on the inbound side on the N4. That's a big wall and they knocked it down where they impacted.

    The Audis must have collided either reacting to the other accident or one was rubbernecking.

    The inbound crash had a loss of life. RIP.
    My guess is the outbound one was a rubbernecking tip
