Ironic parking - the ability to park while blocking the road and two disabled parking spaces when parking in one of the disabled spaces would ironically have been the better option (as only one disabled space would have been blocked).
Added bonus for using magic hazard lights which allow white vans park anywhere.
Minus two points because if s/he parked further up the road s/he would have blocked three disabled spaces instead of just two.
video is private..
Fixed.🙄
TBF You can't tell from that clip if they were stopped waiting for the other white van to exit Atlas before reversing in themselves.
Still it's no excuse.
He has his side door open with no one in the drivers seat. Engine was running too.
He could have parked in one of the disabled spots and unloaded his cargo while only blocking one disabled spot.
Good job all the disabled spots were unoccupied - much ado about nothing
Can't really tell any of that from the clip
From what I know Circle K is 24hr but McDonald's closes at 11!
He could and should have;
You need to resit your driving test.
Shocking. What's even more shocking you still believe you are in the right. Chuck your license in the nearest bin to you.
Oh and if you maintained your travel, after all you were 'right', and ran into that car from behind, you'd have the book thown at you and no insurance company would touch you for years.
The person in the rear is always wrong, even if the other car cuts you off.
Everyone's an expert...
At 3 secs in taxi indicates it's intention to move into lane2, 3 secs later you start your move into same lane.
You were as far behind the taxi as the taxi was behind the truck.
You continue to close on the taxi for a full 8 seconds without reacting to the potential changes ahead.
Then you find yourself in this situation;
You were lucky the red polo driver was not driving like you, and gave you space.
Two things, do not use cruise control on a busy motorway, and remove your car registration from your satnav if you are going to post videos of your own dangerous driving.
Yet again at this junction (Balbriggan), a car is in the wrong lane. The left most lane which he was in, is left turn only. Thank feck I was watching his indicator, which wasn't on and kept an eye on him. He duely flashed his hazzards a little further down the road.
That's an awful-looking place, and not being familiar with it, I'd probably make the same mistake as the taxi if I did happen to find myself there.
There are no signs to indicate "left turn only" from this far back, and the markings on the road are almost worn completely off. Not always possible to see road markings anyway, if there's a line of vehicles in front of you.
Maybe the taxi driver is more familiar with the place than I am and therefore maybe "should" have known better, but I for one can see how somebody not familiar with the place would do exactly what the taxi driver did - i.e. you'd assume that as is normally the case, the left lane is for turning left and going straight ahead, and the right lane is just for turning right.
You're absolutely right. The junction is terribly signed (I'm going to ring Fingal now) and I was just having a bit of a rant as it happens frequently there.
Just off the phone. Apparently they'll send someone out to inspect and repaint the road surface at a minimum. Hopefully a sign gets put up as well.
The same junction a few weeks ago. Apologies for the silly music, it's a bit baffling that YouTube's editor doesn't easily let you mute the audio and that you need to add a song from their library.
If it was me the right lane would be for turning right with the left lane being directly forward over the junction/left unlike the right lane
It really depends on traffic flows, ideally, three lanes with one for each direction.
Looks like left and straight on are the main flows so the right is relegated to being a secondary path from the straight on lane.
If the left and straight on were together, then the queues could be quite long.
My point being that from the right lane you actually have to move left (in to what normally would be a direct path for the left lane) to go straight across while the left is straight ahead - weird layout for sure and would hazard a guess it's not it's original design
Sounds like the original design was probably a right filter that got changed due to long queues for left and straight on.
Learner driver turns into and drives on the wrong side of the road. Thankfully it was quiet.
If they can't master basics like that what chance have they of passing the test
Could be an Immigrant.
No harm done.
Maybe cut them a bit of slack.
Never happened to me driving in Florida or Toronto city centre...
I've seen a surprising number of people driving the wrong way in Ireland.
If you hit someone from behind, you are at fault.
Except when that person changes lanes without checking or brake checks you.
Well don't think either of those apply in this case do you?
Last one from me for the moment. A late exit from the N7 with plenty of braking so they could dive into the petrol station.
No you are just a dangerous driver!
