Without having a rear view camera very difficult to judge if your speeding up had a causality effect of putting/keeping you in a trucks blind spot.

He knew I was there, for definite. The camera exaggerates the distances and I really only went forward a few metres. Appreciate it's difficult for someone who wasn't there to judge, but he was intent on pushing his way in, and if i didn't have the slip lane next to me to duck into, there would have been contact - and he knew that.

I would have stuck to my lane and allowed contact, but then again am thick as feck and drive an 07 so no loss. :P

You were the man in the driving seat, you made the decision, personally I would have probably slowed rather than accelerate into a danger position, but hey no one got hurt, no metal/plastic got bashed so a good day all round.

Sentence makes no sense, why not slow down and let him in. You don't speed up to allow someone in - literally slowing down by a few mph and every one on their way, this is the stuff of the English dash cam of causing an incident
If it came to a case of damage you would probably lose by forcing your position

Of course it makes sense. A car accelerates faster than a truck so getting your ass out of the way by going faster works better than slowing down in some situations.
But do it in a "**** the speed limit for a few seconds" way and floor it.

By that reasoning why didn't the truck just stay in the lane shown to be M50 north by several signs he passed before hand and not cut in at literally the last minute. I'd imagine he was trying to do what I see a lot of truck drivers do and that is skip to the top of the off ramp find a truck and indicate as you pass him. It must be some unwritten rule among truck drivers. I'm all for giving truck drivers space but no way did this gob****e not realise that cam car was there and then he beeps him as if cam car is at fault. :mad: Cam car would've lost nothing if there was contact with the exception of time and hassle.

If someone really 'has' to overtake 2 cars why would they not at least use the empty bus lane to do it?

Both could incur a ticket, though I think only the driving on the hatched area carries points

Whether he does or not makes no difference. Organ donation as of now, is decided by the Next of Kin rather than the present user of the said organs!

That's very tame in comparison to some of the videos on youtube uploaded by suicidal bike riders.

Plus, if he hits anything on that at that speed none of them would be much use.

Or y'know, the truck driver could get in the correct lane where the big overhead signs tell him to, several hundred metres before this point, rather than trying to pull a crafty one and skip the queue.

And they ALWAYS do it there (i mean drivers in general). Sometimes they will drive further up and push across the hatch markings instead.

Indeed, the vast majority of stuff posted here by users will be very tame compared to your average Russian or Brazilian compilation.

I always approach a light which has been green for some time as if it'd go orange at any moment, so I slow down on approach.

That can be sensible roadcraft but not necessary in the junctions you posted in the videos

Amber means Stop unless unsafe to do so. Don't think its changed in the fundamentals since 1964

http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1964/si/294/made/en/print

13 Traffic lights

13.—(1) Subject to paragraph (4) of this bye-law, a driver facing a traffic light lamp which shows a red light shall not proceed beyond the stop line at that light or, if there is no such stop line, beyond that light.

(2) A driver facing a traffic light lamp which shows an amber light while no other traffic light lamp (immediately above or below) shows any light, shall not proceed beyond the stop line at that light (or, if there is no such stop line, beyond the light) save when the vehicle is so close to the stop line when the amber light shows that the vehicle cannot safely be halted before crossing the stop line.

(3) A driver facing a traffic light lamp which shows a green light (other than a green arrow) may, in accordance with these bye-laws, proceed past that light.

(4) A driver facing a traffic light lamp which shows a lighted green arrow may, in accordance with these bye-laws, proceed in the direction indicated by the arrow, notwithstanding that another traffic light lamp facing the driver shows a red light.

Yes and that just confirms that Crock Rock was correct to stop.

he stopped safely so how could it be justified to continue across?

Perhaps

Depends what was behind him.. Judging by his other thread of pedestrian crossings his general over caution can lend himself to bother!

Isambard

there's no perhaps about it. He stopped safely. People are too used to being amber gamblers, it's now become red gamblers....
