    Any software for bulk removing sound from videos? I have heaps of them from before the start of lockdown until now but there's too many to do them individually, and VLC doesn't do it properly.

    Try Handbrake (https://handbrake.fr/). Not sure if it does batch audio removals.

    I use movavi video editor, paid $15 for it about 5 years ago. It's basic but does a decent enough job

    Haha, yeah there was a lot of shouting. I think he was intoxicated, he said the reason he was on the wrong side of the road was because he was trying to avoid the parked van. There was no parked van!

    If I'd accelerated to purposely block someone overtaking I wouldn't upload the vid to the internet.

    You'd want to check your road rage. You were flashing at a RR for overtaking on an empty motorway (far enough, he was speeding but had nought to do with you) and you tried to close a gap for someone overtaking (again, they're doing some stupid but you made that situation way more dangerous for both of ye).

    Better off to leave those types of people past you and not have to deal with them rather than looking for videos to post online.

    If someone is going to drive like an idiot, I'd always prefer to have them zoom off in front of me instead of being glued to the back of my car.

    First it is not a motorway, second he went over a white line, third he is a danger to people,it has everything to do with me if he cuts me off,4th he is breaking the speed limit,flashing him is not a road offence, so wake up.

    The honda initiated the overtake on broken white lines and would have completed it within them if you hadn't accelerated to close the gap with the car in front (which is an offense). The cut-off would have been avoided if you didnt close the gap.

    Basically what you did in responding to the other driver made the situation twice as dangerous as it had to be.

    The flashing of the range rover for passing you on the motorway is further evidence of your attitude, he was exceeding the limit but the road was quiet, dry conditions and didnt pose you any danger whatsoever.

    100% this, if someone wants to get passed me ill pull in on a hard shoulder or sometimes pull over if there are a few cars behind. I'm always delighted to have them off into the sunset than glued to my bumper

    Did you put your blues on? Or is that part of your job? One speeder and one dangerous driver in that vid, you know which is which.

    It does seem in this country quite a lot of people take offence to being overtaken

    Yes and the hilarious thing that's happening a lot is your going well yourself, they pass, slow down then pull into left lane and speed up again, I'm constantly having to change the cruise or take it off completely....


    Ugh dicks on the road.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,467 ✭✭✭jimmynokia


    So by the looks of the last post this is ok to do too is it....

    No. Whoever is driving the white car is a moron.

    However, it still looks like you closed the gap to the car in front & backed off when the white car was past you. Maybe I’m wrong but it looks to be something you do while driving.
    Not being critical, drive whatever way you want to but if this is a consistency in the way you drive it might be something you could change. Stay safe.

    Nope was coming behind the car in front then noticed this clown in the mirror and he had no intentions of going in front of any of us..

    Why would this be in any way ok to do? Its clearly poor and dangerous driving by the audi in that clip.

    None of this changes the fact that you are driving with a chip on your shoulder and as per the previous poster maybe you should consider how you are approaching certain situations on the road...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,698 ✭✭✭kenmm


    Not to jump on the poster - but the other thing about policing others or giving out etc is you are more likely to aggravate them and cause further road rage further down the line (either in retaliation or for someone else at a later point in their journey).

    Clowns gonna clown. Better let them get on with it and relax a bit.

    but why even bother? Guy is a prick - let him get on with his prick life (I mean - I wouldn't do any favours necessarily, but why antagonise them - they are just gonna go be an ever bigger prick with the next poor fu(ker)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,519 ✭✭✭✭punisher5112


    Loopers out there, best leave them off, I've been followed, threatened, blocked in etc driving a bus is no fun...

    Guy got out of a ace recovery truck on M50 before with a spanner to fight and I honestly don't get what the issue was, I was sitting at a red at cherry wood, he chased down the road and pushed into where the works are now, had to reverse back up the way I came to get away, then go froward obviously.

    I once heard (20+ years??) of a bus driver on the receiving end of some road rage. He just casually pulled up tightly alongside the offender and gave the wheel full lock into the side panel of the car/van whatever it was.

    I have no idea if there was truth in it, local urban legend, or even if it's possible, but it sounded amusing :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,368 ✭✭✭kirving


    The lack of lead up in the video doesn't give a clear picture, but the Audi obviously has no intention of pulling after overtaking just one car. They have fully committed and I doubt they could pull in in front of the OP without causing a collision.

    I'm not advocating dangerous driving by any means, but I do take serious issue with careless drivers compromising my own safety and I let them know about it, for my own or others sake.

    Well interesting you say that I had a transit tipper van do that to me in Blackrock, he actually pulled me through the lights, destroyed the side of the car too.
    In the bus a guy driving a Audi A5 tried what you said and then pulled in front and planted on the brakes, it became an A3 and not only hit once but twice and it rode up the front into the windscreen....

    Oh a woman in town done the full lock into the side and she drove into the rear wheel, bus took the whole front off hers...
