    I must admit that coming from your side I'd consider it ok to stop in the yellow box as long as I wasn't blocking traffic coming from your right.
    It looks like the purpose of the yellow box at that junction is to allow a few cars out from your side when there's a build up of cars from the left.
    Maybe I'm being a pr1ck, but I don't think I'm blocking anybody?

    Maybe, but im not aware of different purposes for yellow boxes. When i saw the light go orange i thought might aswell stay where I am. The octavia then pulled out behind me to go around into the oncoming lane.
    Chances are if I did go into the box he wouldve followed and been blocking traffic then.

    It might be a suggestion for the council to only paint the half closest to me to allow what you describe. That would make sense.

    Sorry, my comment wasn't about what the lad in the Octy did.
    It was about the OP's reluctance to enter the yellow box, presumably because he couldn't clear it,

    Yes, I'm usually annoyed by motorists in front of me who don't know the yellowbox rule. Although the junction in the video is not exactly like the one in the image, I would definitely have entered it....

    It's a pity the car doesn't have a safe mode that knows when driven as such it goes hell no.....

    I'm not following, the guidance you posted says not to enter?

    One should never overtake on the left either according to the ROTR. ;)

    ?? what is this lockdown you speak of? and why would I be out of work?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,553 ✭✭✭CyberGhost


    Well, I'm not going to pretend like it was not a super fun video to watch.

    Surprised how easily that Audi well apart though. He drove it hard, but he really did not abuse it that badly, could have done a lot worse to it. The speeds weren't very extreme either, maybe I'm spoiled from all those Russian driving videos but I expected 200km/h+ from an R8 joyride video. 10 minutes and the car was smoking and beeping, another 10 and it was broken. Maybe the ramps did it? But even those didn't look too extreme.

    Besides this thread Motors forum already has two video threads, "The YooToob thread" and "Dash cam videos thread 3.4 (embedded car cams only)".

    I am transferring this similar thread to the Cool Vids forum

    This was created because not all dash cam vids are on youtube

    I’d suggest looking back or conversing with the other moderators as to why this was created in the first place, it was for videos (such as dumpert, etc) that can’t be embedded to play in the thread. They aren’t allowed in the other two threads you’ve mentioned, the hints are in the titles.

    While some motor cams videos may be cool, not all would be.
    However what they would all be would be motor videos...so please put back in the motor forum.
    Would a multi car pile up knocking down a group of orphans be cool? No... But it would be a motor cam video.
    One does not equal the other.

    Needs someone higher to look at, as I’ve requested, as he’s just taken a personal vendetta against this and is offering zero leeway at all. Absolutely ridiculous decision.

    As a CVPL user, can I add my voice to those saying move it back.

    Seems that Motors users want it back.

    Well, we don't want it here, as far as I can see!

    Make everyone happy. Move it.
