Aren’t exempt? They’re usually straight into the firing line for it no matter what’s on the video.

Considering that the criticism of the post by a moderator has received 35 likes whereas there has been fu(k all criticism of the golf driver says a lot about what is acceptable on our roads.

It's utterly pathetic.

Any dash cam video that's posted here or anywhere else on the Internet is open to comment good or bad either the subject of the video or the dash cam driver or anything else that's on the video

That’s one of the worst manoeuvres I’ve seen posted on this thread. Shocking. Thankfully it was caught on camera and the driver will face the consequences.

It’s absolutely crazy. When you see the houses along the road where the oncoming cars had to pull in as well.

The poster only gets criticism because the usual "this must be a wind up" doesn't fly in the face of video evidence.

I live not too far from where that arctic overtaking maneuver took place and practically use that N24 road every day, there is a busy fuel station a few yards up just after the end of that footage and if pulling out from the fuel station heading towards Limerick you certainly would not be checking left or be expecting an arctic coming towards you on the wrong side of the road: https://www.google.ie/maps/@52.6213936,-8.4867464,3a,75y,172.56h,75.75t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sUM_6zQFqolLpDnNi2_8fkQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

You would expect a professional driver of a rig that size to have a bit more cop on.

Spook_ie · 01-10-2020 01:09AM

I blame the dash cammer for that artic incident

Love this

I’ve never had an accident in 54 years, except one time when a fella came down the middle of the road and crashed into me — it was his fault

So many people use that excuse and completely ignore the fact that their actions caused an accident
Only ever once nearly had a crash and that was caused by some old fella cutting in front of me without indicating and was literally inches away from my front bumper

Looking at the screenshot, I initially thought it was from abroad (RHD territory). :pac:

Just came off the M7,having spent entire journey in the "fast" lane.

were driving in the wrong directions?

The last appeal was thrown out after driving tester Martin McNulty told the court that he had gone through a red light on Vickers Road in Cork city.

But Mr Heffernan denied he had jumped the red light, saying: “No, I did not because it was green. It had to be green because I followed another car so if I broke the red light, they did too.”

He had actually no idea what colour the light was. Sure, just follow the car in front.

I see an awful lot of this particularly with cars turning right.

Imagine having to explain that to the Sergeant back at the station and then the amount of paper work that will need to be filled out.

Yeah - I was like turning around about 3 kph and suddenly this big massive bus just hit me outta nowhere

Hopefully the car on the left of shot blocking the footpath and on double yellows comes into play when they look at this.

What?
Any good professional driver would have had that car twigged well in advance to accommodate his upcoming Uturn.
Looks like he missed a gear or under revved leaving off the clutch.
Best of all is the fact its a Dublin BusðŸ€£ðŸ€£

Not to mention the personal injury claims by;

The Garda driving the car
The Garda in the front passenger seat
The Bus Driver (Physical & mental injuries)
Any passengers on the bus

Why didn’t they just put on the blues though? I’m sure it would have avoided the accident.

The Garda driving cannot claim

Of course they can..... Look at the woman detective that got a big 5 figure sum of compensation for seeing a prisoner in a Garda cell covered in his own sh1t.... Now you may say if it were on her or she got something from it but no she only seen with her two eyes..... She didn't handle him or get any on her or have to clean it up.

The Garda driving executed a u turn crossing onto the incorrect side of the road causing an impact

The Garda driving has no claim

1. In performing his duties, he had to perform that manoeuvre. So his job put him in the position he was in.

2. This is Ireland so of course he can claim.

Lol

Okay I'll explain it another way.. There can be no claim in negligence on the part of a driver (garda or otherwise) where that driver crosses onto the incorrect side of the road causing an impact

It's completely illogical to think otherwise

deceit · 04-10-2020 12:09PM

Did the Garda car even pass onto the opposing side of the road before he/she was hit?
The bus had to pass onto the other side of the road to pass the car so I wonder would the bus driver be partially to blame also?

04-10-2020 12:09PM

Their second point stands though. This is Ireland - ching ching for all.

Looks like it. Can't see the post with the video anymore. Could a mod confirm?
