Interesting, different rules there, in most countries if the road is wide enough for two cars to pass when there are vehicles parked on the side it is perfectly legal to keep on going.
The Volvo driver decided to take the whole road, a few seconds earlier the driver passed another car that moved over.

It's Lviv, Ukraine (or Poland if you're old enough

), so it just means the Volvo driver paid the police more than the Citroen driver.

It's hard to see with the potatocam the guy is using, but the centre of the street was marked (at least in 2015) and the cammer was definitely partially on the other side of it.

Top right hand side - was absolutely pinned to the back of the car in front, with the tolltag.
Often the tag is misread or the barrier slow/faulty or fails to lift, forcing a car to slow & exit the tolltag lane. Should the front car have hesitated, let alone braked, a collision would have been certain.

To save €1.90 :mad:.

The thing to do there is to pull out last second and leave them in the express lane. Your tag will work on any of the lanes anyway, had to do it a few times.

Don't like when it happens but up to the toll people to stop it.

Short of employing a driver to chase the toll dodgers with a pursuit vehicle, their options are limited.
You can't rely on number plates for identity as they're most probably cloned.

The alternative would be to build double ended toll roads where the vehicles pay to enter and display to exit.

I have across another version of this on the unmanned booths at exits on M4 just after the service station exit going Dublin bound. Guy pulls up to booth and sits there waiting for my car to get in range with tag to open the gate and let him through. I sit just before the concrete starts on booth and make him pay his way. Have it on dash cam.

I’ve one the same myself, think it was Drogheda NB on the M1 where someone pulled in front of me and tried to slow enough that they’d go through instead of me. Was heavy enough on the brake that they had to pull out of it in the end. I get it loads in the work van because people know 9/10m times they have a tag.

Is that a Garda car at 0.15 seconds, top of the screen?

whizbang · 18-03-2021 01:16AM

I see it all the time Particularly on M1. I end up staying in left lane until last second.

Although I can almost predict the car/driver type beforehand..

If they go to that effort to avoid paying €1.90 you can be pretty much sure they are uninsured, otherwise I'd put the anchors on.

Nope, just a randomer.

I once had a youngish blonde (female :pac:) in a newish enough BMW, dart right across in front of me, into the tolltag lane on the M7, to try to get through the barrier once my tag was read/lifted it. I foiled her plan but you could see she regularly did it.

Maybe it's just for the craic for some people?

Am I at fault here? Wide angle lens FOV makes objects appear farther than they actually are.

Only one arsehole there and its not you - wild west Donegal

Damien360 · 18-03-2021 11:07PM

Not even remotely at fault. That’s some asshole.

punisher5112 · 18-03-2021 11:10PM

A Prius, a Prius actually using the go go pedal I'm shocked.....

AndyBoBandy · 19-03-2021 07:02AM

I’d be straight to the Guards with that video, and follow it through with them.

Don’t let that asshole get away with that.

McCrack · 19-03-2021 08:37AM

Id just move on than running to the Gardai tbh

+1 The guards can be very quick to prosecute speeders for dangerous driving on motorways etc but the likes of brake checking should face as stiff a penalty for deliberately trying to endanger others. That Prius driver needs a serious talking to and no use of indicator either.

B0ll0x to that....

What if that was your elderly mother driving?, or your wife?, and what if the car didn't have a dashcam? That idiot brake checks, and if someone (without a dashcam) runs into the back of them, it's going to be their fault all day long despite what anyone says...

That d1ckhead needs a phone call from, or a knock on his door from the Gardai, and to be told what he did was absolutely unacceptable....

Even for it to just be recorded on PULSE, so if he is ever rear ended, the Guards will know that he has form for brake checking...

McCrack · 19-03-2021 09:39AM

What if the dash cam driver didn't start flashing incessantly at the Prius when it overtook them? What would have happened then?

Hi McCrack, how are you finding the Prius? are they as economical as they claim?

What flashing?
am i missing something?

DaveyDave · 19-03-2021 11:26AM

If it was just the stopping in the middle of the road I'd leave it, as ridiculous as it is it wouldn't be worth your time, but brake checking is absolutely uncalled for. It's also a mandatory court appearance if reported, according to one Garda I was speaking to.

Thanks for the replies guys. Reported to local Gardai.

Got a call back saying they have spoken with the prius driver over the phone and told him this was unacceptable. He was shocked to get the call and was warned this could go to court if I make a formal statement. He apologised for his behaviour. I will leave it at that.

Muppet Man · 19-03-2021 12:51PM

Did you exchange nice-ities in the car park also, looks like ye were going to the same place. That can be akward

Excellent result.

He'll think twice now about acting the prat in his 'self charging' hybrid...

I don't see what the type of vehicle he drives has anything to do with it, unless you're referring to his "self charging " brain!

Just curious how they got his number, address ok but phone number?

It could be on file for any number of reasons, but possibly via the drivers insurance company.
