    Has a video been removed?

    Yeah, it had a garda car performing a u turn from stationary into the path of an oncoming bus. They looked to be doing it in the line of duty but had not lights or sirens on.

    Did the user delete it or did Boards get a nudge?

    I'd say their faces were visible so it would make sense to remove if so. Also there will probably be an investigation into it.

    It's on Twitter so can be found there.

    Ws that an ARU unit doing the recording? Going by the reflection of lights down on the road.

    Seemed like it may be something like a tow truck or recovery vehicle, lights might be orange, that was already parked there before the Garda car came up behind it.

    Not a good look for the driver though, no emergency lights, don't think it was indicating, and turning across a solid white line.

    Been a while since we had any videos here . . . . jus' sayin' !?

    I was only checking this evening and I’ve 29 clips saved since March. It’s just getting my brain wrapped around the effort of cutting and muting them all.

    Ok tell me I'm not the only one that thought the guy with the dog was very unlucky until I realised that it's the sound they use to 'bleep' out bad language

    ah you'd miss italy all the same .

    Classic Italy at 3:35, drivers out of the car after a fender bender and the hands going couldn't tell you the number of times I saw that in two visits there :D

    That looks like a typical day on Italian roads - everyone has the right of way

    I think Dash Cams are bad luck. Any footage I have seen from one always shows accidents or something terrible happening. I certainly won't be getting one.

    Your logic and watching youtube videos of said owners makes perfect sense

    Same incident captured by two different cam cars.





    First one is horrific enough. The second one makes it even worse. Driver had no licence and was charged with dangerous driving. Also, according to the comments, it is legal to cross the hatched markings to leave the road.

    Quality isn't great and the action doesn't really start until about just over half way through but I bet the car driver learnt 2 value lessons here, 1. Don't mess around with truck drivers and 2. Always keep a spare pair of underpants in the car with you.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 348 ✭✭Trouser Snake


    Those Polish? truckers do fair stick together, follow Stop Cham on YT and there's a good bit of that. Still doesn't excuse that Quashqai carry on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,844 ✭✭✭It wasnt me123


    What was the quashqai doing - super dangerous playing cat and mouse with a huge truck? Does anyone speak polisgh and understad what was being said? As far as I can make out, I think the truckers were absolutely right to do what they did, they did it safely but will make sure that car driver never does that again.


  • Posts: 7,852 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I’d say there was new trousers needed when they got boxed in. That was lovely.

    Brake checking seems to be quite prevalent on the continent, I haven't seen that much of it here thankfully.
    A person with the limited enough awareness to brake check an Artic is probably not intelligent enough to be aware of what kind of risk they are taking.
    Cars will fold like a wet tissue when they are between a truck and something else.
