"Double white line on a blind bend? No problem, I'd better overtake and try and bully everyone else into letting me do it."
and a Micra….
Surprise!
Signs do not apply to this one
08LK3634 I'd be straight to the Gards with that one. Not someone being caught out by something unexpected, or a stupid mistake that they might learn from. Pure and simple aggressive driving which sooner or later will serious injure or kill someone. Whatever chance you have against a Micra, they'll eventually upgrade to the biggest car they can afford and continue to do the same thing.
Admittedly very little in this, it was just annoying that they changed lanes well after I left a gap and the road markings said "Stay in Lane". Didn't see the indicator through my A pillar at first.
There's no exits near the end of the tunnel too, they could have changed lanes after resurfacing so it was all needless.
They indicated, you let them in ,everyone went on their way, move on.
🤣 Stupid C***
Can't see any reg, sadly😔

I left in the 40 second lead up, to show the red van, in lane 2, with its right indicator on. The van immediately moved back into lane 2 after I passed & remained there, with right indicator on again, until I lost sight of it in my rear view mirror.
Might be worth reporting that ex BMW driver to the guards
What the hell went on here - did the Golf driver start speeding up when the van was overtaking? Not sure if the person the posted the clip is complaining about the van but it looks like the Golf was an aggressive driver
Looks to me like the red van was doing a really slow overtake and had little to no spatial awareness as was cutting back in too soon so the golf decided to speed up and take him on the left rather than brake and let him in.
Maybe slightly aggressive from the Golf but it’s only doing 100km/h for most of it and the tool in the van was easily in the process of overtaking for a minute or so (considering we miss some of the start of the clip).
Ah - didn’t cop the speed was showing in it
A little one scoots into the road.
Double Lines overtake, facing oncoming traffic on a hill. With line of traffic ahead of him so got nowhere.
'L' plated car too. Was actually closer than appears in clip. Poor driver & poor decision but no accident.
Important phone call overrides child safety
Children are always in danger of running into the road. Luckily the driver was alert and travelling at a slow enough speed to be able to stop.
There aren't many overtaking opportunities between Tubbercurry and Collooney. I've seen a few questionable manoeuvres on that road
Exactly what i was thinking, and she went straight back to the call rather than give the child any attention or education.
Driver was unwell and was taken to hospital.
Very true. I travel on that particular stretch twice a day and I have to admit I saw plenty of much more dangerous maneuvres than aforemetioned one throughout the years.
Who is at fault here? (Not my video)
Tractor clearly drifted into the on coming lane of traffic. Clear as day really that he's at fault.
Kingscourt?
Tractor Veers over the line, their fault.
The car was a bit all over the place, crossing the white line for no reason and about to again when he hit the tractor which looked like he had no choice but to be on the white line but quality isn't great
While I personally would have given the tractor more space, the edge of the car is 4 to 6 inches away from the white line while the tractor is a good 4 inches over the line and the trailer seems to be even wider. It's hard to see how much space the tractor had on his left but I note the second tractor is fully within their lane. Regardless of how much space he had, if the tractor is too wide for the road he's driving on it's still his responsibility to take account of that and not barge up the road thinking people will get out of his way.
The driving over the white line seems to be endemic now regardless of what people are driving. If it were up to me anyone caught going around a bend on or over the white line would lose their license. There's no excuse for it.
The car driver should have moved more to the left, there was at least 30cm to the kerb, as for the tractor, there seems to be no clearance the other side , so it couldn't move any further to its left.
It looks like the road narrows a bit at the crash site.
Longer version. Shows both doors and rear O/S wing torn off. Hopefully everyone that may have been in the Toyota are ok.
