Dash cam videos thread 3.4 (embedded car dash-cams only)

The red light jumping Almera had just pulled out of a disabled parking space to (seemingly) avoid the pedestrian traffic warden/parking attendant guy. When the warden followed him up to the red light Mr. Almera put the foot down. What’s confusing?

You completely misdirected me to the wrong car - was looking at the car at the lights in the loading bay lmao

I was looking at the front view, not the rear view.

Yeah but the blue looks almost silver and it was like a few secs at the beginning

Colours aside it's a bit disappointing when experienced thread members don't know their scala from their almera.

That is where he is parked and the parking dude is walking to the car.

Now that is traffic enforcement!

I wish we had some of that where I live. Around here people park on the roundabout if they're going to mass or on double yellows outside the Garda station without any consequences

Could have been a bad start to the morning.

My old NCT disc showed expiry of September 2020, yet was extended to January 2021 due to the pandemic.....

Ridiculous overtake from the DPD driver - he squeezed that Nissan to the edge of the road.

Good god no, not again. That argument went on and on for pages. Did the mod delete it in the end ?

Yes, and right around the time the NCT centres were running half arsed tests due to post lifts safety recall

So no one could get full test at that time

Edit:just realized it is now 2021 so it is pushing it a bit too far lol.

This overtake was far closer then it seems in the video, he was about 2 feet away from hitting our car.
He overtook between 2-3 cars on the hatch markings so it wasn't a legal overtake..outside of him nearly hitting me

/QUOTE]

Not hatch markings he crossed, solid line for you with broken for them means you are not allowed to overtake but they were once it was safe to do so.

Mind you, slight bend and brow should mean no overtaking on either side.

04-05-2021 04:21PM

Yeah, not to say the driver was in any way right, but that’s extremely badly marked.

They started overtaking prior to the broken line though,
Anyway regardless, he's had a visit and points for his troubles

How does the points bit work?
I know the guards can suggest paying a visit to 'have a word', but I thought that any stronger action would require a case to be brought and you to appear in court to witness your vid?

Hurrache · 05-05-2021 10:18AM

Only if the driver wants to contest it, otherwise there's no need to go as a witness.

Isambard · 05-05-2021 11:30AM

there's dangerous driving and then there's people making errors. I think this was just a misjudged overtake, seems to me it started more or less at the start of the broken line.

I think that's just plain dangerous, no problem with the lines or overtaking more than one other vehicle etc but the combination and on a curve/bend - it's borderline mistake/insanity.

Here's the road going North in 2009 ,only one solid white line.
O.P was just about at the point where the two signs are up ahead
travelling south.

Some roadworks done in the meantime , but a broken line there
is stupid.
