True, I have loads as well but as it is almost a daily occurrence (well used to be) they're boring. I wait until it is sufficient to get a WTF before I post them.

Arsehole in the oncoming car tried to overtake on a blind bend with a continuous white line, when he saw me on my side of the road, back in he goes to squeeze past the cyclist.

Usual Dublin driving. Red lights don't matter.

Sorry - this is a red light jumper moan... its become very bad recently. These are my three worst personal experiences.

Some child on a scrambler... I aint exaggerating was 15 or 16 at best. Thinking about reporting to Blanch.... cos I know they'll put their best men on it :rolleyes:

Just your average Red Light Joe - I mean this must have been 2 or 3 seconds red for him.

Here is one from a month or so back, where pedestrians, cyclists, wheel chair user, cars all broke a red light at one junction. Sweet Jesus.

The cyclist in Yellow with the kid on the back should be ashamed of himself.

From the comments, the lad was named and shammed on facebook and turned himself in to the police although they weren't actively looking or going to be charging him.

I can't see how anyone seeing that would consider not charging and prosecuting. That degree of aggression and muppetry deserves at least a 6 month ban.

With further updates on there - it isn't that the police weren't interested. It was put on facebook before anyone reported it to the police. Once it was reported, they were actively investigating.

Lot's of people back driving for the first day today apparently!

I was contemplating contacting directly tomorrow and maybe traffic watch also actually? Have clear screenshots of the road position and reg from playing the video directly on the laptop.

I definitely would, this is the performance from a professional full time driver, no excuse for that, trained to know better but just being lazy, you reacted well and had the use of a small bit of the shoulder, next person to encounter him may not be so lucky.

The webpage has email address for director and transport manager, the majority of the time they welcome such feedback.

Just a few minor bits and pieces

You know what's not fun... coming around a corner to find an artic on your side of the road.

He didn't "have to go that wide" as you put it, and it wouldn't serve much comfort to a dead persons family.

He shouldn't be on that road in the first place, if it's absolutely necessary there should be a warning vehicle in front as with wide loads.

Finally, if he finds himself stuck on a bad road accidentally, he should take it at an absolute crawl, which he clearly isn't doing.

sentient_6 · 04-07-2020 08:20PM

Now is a good time to post an update before things descent into ifs buts and maybes. I emailed the video to the company director and transport manager and got an apology the next day.

The location is this is the R358 between Ahascragh and Ballinasloe and there is actually an alternative route thats almost the same length with wider straighter roads. I suggested this and they said they'd pass it on to the driver.

That's it really, i didn't call traffic watch in the end.

100KM road long sweeping bend !!

chooseusername · 07-07-2020 11:25AM

Why I never pull in to the hard shoulder to invite an overtake,
like the white squashy did there.

More likely a case of "fúck he's going for it! must move out of the way!" pulling into a hard shoulder on a left bend is very dangerous.
