    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...

    Do bus Eireann or Dublin bus release video footage from the buses like the luas does from time to time?

    The lack of lead up in the video doesn't give a clear picture...

    Convenient that.

    A couple of clips from the past few days showing some careless driving.

    Don't understand why he cut you up if he's that happy to use the hard shoulder he should have just kept going rather than put the squeeze on you, himself and the other car.

    I know a guy whose mother in law lost a leg because of something very similar to that. Car rolled, she panicked and tried to hit brake, missed, hit accelerator and was launched into pillar. Door did the damage. That woman is very lucky in that video that she didn’t get crushed by her own car. Not 100% sure why it an auto would roll back like that.

    It was still in reverse when she opened the door and got out!

    I think it was still in reverse, you can see the rear light come on & I’m not sure it turned off before she jumped out.

    It rolled backwards because she had put the car in reverse to back it off of the car next to her but didn't put it in park when she got out of the car. You can see the reversing lights are on

    Nothing too major but a questionable overtake over double continuous white lines nonetheless.

    This is the new norm across Dublin, it's an absolute pain..... If you don't take off like a F1 you miss the lights, obviously they weren't watching at all probably on the phone....

    Seen a guy driving a leaf yesterday with his phone stick to the windscreen right in front of his face, how he could see the road is beyond me.

    This is what happened before, it so it was already a mess. The rear wiper being on just adds to it all.

    They need to be pulled out and danced on.... Seriously people if you are in charge of the vehicle then look at the big window and watch what's going on around you....

    What I'd love to see is timer units fitted so people would hopefully be ready to take off....


    Wishful thinking of course

    Having the "get set" amber would be a great help as well.

    It’s the only way to treat people like that, and might get in their lane in time in future. Enabling them only reinforces the behaviour.
