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

I've been told in the past that being a bit over the white line is less important than the fact that both vehicles were moving at the time.

In which case each fixes their own.

I'm inclined to agree with this. Tractor driver seems to be as far to his left as possible. Car driver clearly wasn't.

Also, car driver had this much clearance to the white line at 0:44 in the video, just before the crash occurred:

But by 0:47, he/she had drifted right out to the line:

So, just as I'd be thinking myself "wide load approaching, better slow down and keep in to the left", car driver here instead veers towards the wide object.

Don't know what way liability would fall when insurance companies or a court come to decide things, but car driver could definitely have done more to avoid it.

Allinall · 23-11-2021 02:07PM

I'd hazard a guess the car driver was on the phone, judging by the driving up to that point.

Good shout. You could be right.

Car driver is an idiot, but I think liability would go against the tractor

josip · 23-11-2021 05:00PM

Without the dashcam footage, they've no way of knowing on what side of the road the collision took place.

It's tractor's word against Avensis' word.

23-11-2021 08:11PM

Is that trees or something on the tractor's left? The owner of that property needs a stern talking to as well

Avensis?

One from last weekend. Slow pull out onto main road, it happens. What you should do then is get up to speed and not what this lad did. Very glad I had new tyres on the front! Some language 🤐

F'ing hell, I'd report that, crazy dangerous, either some sort of insurance scam or driver shouldn't be on the road.

Sam Russell · 04-12-2021 02:15PM

Insurance scam. He braked as the dash cam car was close. Of course the dash cam footage would be his/her undoing.

Uncle Pierre · 04-12-2021 05:01PM

I reckon I'd be reporting that one all right. Highly, highly dangerous, particularly with the oncoming car. If somebody's instinct had been to swerve around him instead of stopping so abruptly, could have been a head-on collision with serious or even fatal consequences.

Although I agree with you, report what offence ? The Gardai hands are tied on this as there is no crime. Can you report to insurance ombudsman or is that possible ? If that registration pops up again soon and some other poor soul gets caught by these guys, maybe, although I doubt it, it could be used against them as premeditated.

I believe that the insurance industry has a "report line" for people to call/email if they suspect insurance fraud, could be worth finding that and sending the video in.

It could also simply be some old duffer who panicked and hit the brake instead of the accelerator when they realized what they had done.

fritzelly · 04-12-2021 07:15PM

Dunno, looks like he started pulling out as soon as the car became visible to him

BorneTobyWilde · 04-12-2021 07:21PM

I think he braked as a bad choice, thought the car he pulled out in front of would go around him, he clearly saw the car coming, and was like ****, and braked. Stupid thing to do.

What offence? Take your pick of any of Sections 51(a), 52 and 53 of Road Traffic Act (driving without reasonable consideration/careless driving/dangerous driving).

At the very least, pulling out slowly in front of somebody and then stopping dead in front of them isn't exactly being very considerate.

And there's surely enough there to warrant the Gardaí having a word with the driver anyway, even if he/she doesn't end up being charged.

boardz · 06-12-2021 09:33AM

She seemed totally bewildered

The driver was I'd guess in his late teens early twenties at most, N plate also displayed. My first thought afterwards was that there was someone else in the car (parent maybe?) who pulled the handbrake after he made the mistake. I could be very wrong on that. As I passed by I looked in and saw his face, seemed pretty shocked himself. Was only a fleeting look so I couldn't tell if there was anyone in the passenger seat.

You can see the back tyres locked up when he was stopping, notably the back left you can see the tyre smoke and hear the screech before I slammed on myself fully. I was slowing already when I saw him coming out, definitely didn't expect him to throw out the anchor. Lesson learned for me there.

06-12-2021 11:55AM

Yeah, young inexperienced driver, I missed the N plate.

kirving · 06-12-2021 07:06PM

I have the reg, strongly considering reporting this. This guy was on the phone or something.

First clip scared the **** out of me. From where I was it looked like a line of 3 cars, 2 warm sets of headlights and one blue set which I assumed was just the right headlight of a car moving close to the middle looking to see if he could overtake. It was only until he got really close that I could see it was a bike.

Other fella didn't indicate and made me hit my brakes (albeit at low speed, but still)

Sorry folks, was uploading it and had it set to unlisted but never saved, should be up now.

That’s nuts. And the truck just kept on moving on. As did the truck in the lane directly beside her.

28-12-2021 10:45PM

I've been watching this guys channel recently, has some decent content albeit he can be a little preachy sometimes though comes with being an instructor I guess. Puts a lot more effort into his videos vs some others.
