Which hospital is he in? Deserves to have his head put through his own windscreen

Nah, I wouldn't go that far. Maybe just have his Opel driven up his @rse! Would be a poetic justice, don't you think? :pac:

Just being the odd one out here, OP driving up his arse when it was patently obvious he was going into a parking spot didn't help.

Having two exit lanes is stupid, if he wanted to park head first he would have had to swing right across the dashcam from left lane, as it was he pulled into right lane and had to pull across left lane to reverse in

Down the night before doing a bit of a job in Castletownbere. Class part of the world.

I thought it was Copeen alright. The drive between Crookstown and Dunmanway is nice. My brother once got asked for ID to buy petrol for his car in the garage in Copeen!

It would have been obvious had he turned on his indicator. As it was, he basically straddled both lanes before stopping dead with no warning and then turned on his indicator.
It's a stupid setup having spaces there, but that driver was completely oblivious to everything around him.

It was no such thing, he meandered down the road with the odd wheel in the right lane and then swung across the nose of the camera car with no indications and then stopped to let the missus out with no indications and finally decided he wanted to reverse into a spot.

Boardz' clip shows exactly why i only go to Blanchardstown SC very early on sunday and when i have no other choice.

I am not a patient man.

And the rest of yiz, sorry but I think your anticipation and observation skills need honing while driving, yes he didn't indicate until after but his whole driving manner and positioning stank of that he was going to go for a parking spot, and as to driving past loads of spaces, you don't park by Heatons if you're missus is going to Laura Ashley or wherever.

Amen to that. Now there is that old saying about the harm of assuming things, but when driving I think it's much wiser to assume that another driver will do the wrong thing. That little philosophy has served me well through the years.

The conversation went something like..

Me: Hello sir might I inquire as to why you came into my lane with n'er a hint of indication?
Him: Because I felt like it! I put my f*cking indicator on (actual response)
Me: This is true you did but only after I had flashed you...might I suggest that you would benefit from some lessons from a qualified driving instructor? I bid you good day.
Him: F*%!** etc....

He would have had to drive by all the rows of spaces parallel to that road before doubling back.

The OP didn't do anything wrong. The lengths some people go to find fault with the camera car is baffling.

Is that not a junction where you don't have right of way turning right (judging by the traffic lights), doesn't excuse the taxi driver changing his mind

No you don't have a right of way, however, if a car coming the opposite direction is indicating to turn right ( as the road arrows also indicate ) then it's a reasonable assumption that he's turning right and therefore your exit from the junction should be clear, when people change their mind at the last second is when conflicts may arise.

Oh, that's up at Blanchardstown

Everyone ignores that because it's a layout dumber than a bag of hammers.
