    The key point is that I drive and am aware of how things work in real life and time, as far as I know you don't.
    So you're one of the lads for whom every amber lights comes as a total and utter surprise then.

    Sure was your fault for

    A Not having a high Viz car
    B Exceeding 0 Kph in a city area
    C Not waiting at least 30 seconds before moving to allow you to look all around.
    D For actually daring to drive in Dublin to get somewhere

    etc. etc.
    Not the smartest of moves by the cyclist for sure, though certainly, looking around before you drive off is generally accepted as a fairly good idea, but I know it's difficult to drag drivers away from their phones to actually keep an eye on the roads around them.


    A hi-vis car might have helped too in fairness.

    Good clip, but if you don't mind me mentioning... the title could be a little more politically correct.


    Not so much 'politically correct' as not choosing to punch down on people with intellectual disabilities. If Ricky Gervais can see the sense in not using mong as an insult, it's not exactly the height of political correctness.

    One from this morning.:rolleyes:

    WTF kind of angle was that to take on a bike - that wasn't filtering or going with traffic, but an almost 90deg dive bomb :D:D


    Lack of awareness all round.. especially the cyclist tho - should have copped in and known the lights had just changed and not to cut across like that - seriously wtf

    (glad no one hurt or damaged!)

    You would have to wonder is the second Garda car going to cause more issues than he'll solve. Surprised either are allowed go up the M'way the wrong direction even if chasing a car.

    If they get the chance they could pin him against the centre barrier.

    At least they stand out more as I'm sure you seen the blue lights.

    True, It's not my footage I saw it linked on a news feed.

    I'd say the closest squad car chasing him would have tried to get in front of him to stop him once there were no on coming cars in sight. It looked to me like they were attempting to evade the Gardai rather than driving the wrong way in error.

    I believe a MOD inadvertently shutdown the last one, I'm not sure if a new one was ever started so you may be the pioneer :D

    I bought an Orskey one off Amazon £29.99 and working away a year now.

    Picture good, no connection to phone though but I had a ddpai and failed after 12 months
    ...

    I don't think I'd bother spending£110 again

    I got these two this morning;

    First one was very close, a brown pants moment for the guy in front although it should be said trucks are not allowed on this road, residential and too narrow.

    The second one was more a case of the cement truck driver flexing his muscles on the white van man for trying a sneaky pass up the inside only realising too late that the truck was actually turning left.

    I hate people who overtake like that. They just follow the car/van/truck in front with very little or no view of the oncoming traffic.

    yeah, I see this all time. Nearly had a head on collision with some old bint who did the same thing to me last year. That's when I decided I was getting a dashcam

    He had no view because he insisted on pointlessly tailgating. Staying further back makes it so much easier to perform a safe overtake but most people have it in their mind that it's easier the closer they are to the vehicle in front.
