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

I see a trend here lol.

Yes, the amount of places in Dublin where if you were to follow the arrows it would have you in the wrong lane as the arrow you're following changes direction just as you arrive at a junction!! It's ridiculous and the amount of times you see foreign or country cars getting caught out. Signage in this country is atrocious.

P.S. How do I upload a video?

M50 Northbound...in hindsight perhaps I could've/should've braked.

That’s very aggressive driving by you. You knew well in advance that he was coming into your lane with his right indicator on

Yes maybe, at the time I was in disbelief. How was he coming into my lane when I was in it and approaching him at speed?

It doesn't matter when he indicated, indication doesn't give him right of way. I'm entitled to just keep going - my lane is free and I was travelling a lot faster than he was and if he had looked in his mirror before he attempted the manoeuvre he would have seen me, but instead he just waltzes into my lane. After watching the video a few times it seems maybe I could've pulled up and let him in which would be safer all round but in reality while it was actually happening I was already committed to passing him and was sounding my horn as soon as I started to see him veering towards my lane.

Yes I drive the m50 twice daily and have done so for several years. If that guy had collided with me he would be the one in the wrong, You can't just cross into lanes regardless of what's coming along or how fast it's coming just cos you have your indicator on. If that was the case we'd have pile-ups at every merging onto motorway lane. It's aggressive driving in the sense that I expect my clear road not to be obstructed by someone not watching what they're doing crossing into my path. It was complete driving without due care and attention by the other motorist IMO.

You'll also notice that the car in front of me in lane 2 has to take evasive action as they pass the same motorist as well.

Probably explains why people like driving in the middle lane, too much hassle trying to change lanes if you come across a truck. Given that the taxi driver saw the truck first and clearly indicated I would have let him go instead of racing at him, bit of give and take makes life easier for everyone. Just another example of why I avoid the M50 if possible.

This muppet was in the right hand lane from the top of the hill going down to the junction, he had well over a 1.5km to get in the correct lane and there was only 1 car behind me in the left lane.

Forget that, Can't be behind a slower car even for a second.

It was but for exit 8 Cashel, not Mitchelstown so it had nothing to do with it.

First time I hear they are banned. Makes no sense as so could sign for Dublin or Mitchelstown cause one to take sharp turn.

What would the logic of such ban be?

Unlikely. There's a McDonalds and a 24 hour services at the junction prior in Fermoy which is well signposted. Just carelessness and lack of any kind of rational thought or forward planning on their part, pure and simple.
