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

This happens nearly everyday, I just dont bother downloading from camera and uploading each instance.

Taxis overtaking in the oncoming lane, forcing a truck to swerve, just to push their way into the queue again at the traffic lights ahead.

This video has 3 impatient idiots, none of whom can wait a few seconds for a light to turn green.

And then this one, nearly everyday, drivers try to use the emergency lane to undertake the queue of traffic. This is right in front of the police station. I dont always manage to force them to reverse, but if i can waste a bit of their time then its something at least. Couple appreciative beeps and thumbs up from the drivers who he undertook and then came back past again. Apologies for my bad language while giving out to him, but they never just apologise and accept they were wrong, always blaming the person who blocks them, because why on earth would anyone dare doing that to them? Selfish a-holes.

We’ll that didn’t work, if anything it worked against you.

Nothing baffling - half of drivers don't know how to navigate a roundabout

How did you indicate there @JohnC. ? As a matter of interest .

While slightly offset it's pretty clear that roundabout wouldn't fall under the 12 o'clock rule, which isn't hard and fast anyway.

Even the lane marking shows straight on so there was no need to indicate and doing so could lead to confusion that the car intended to take the actual exit around to the right.

No indicator and then indicate left once past the first exit. That's not to say I haven't seen others doing the same as above, it has crept in over the last few years.

I get the clock face is well meaning but it would be farcical to apply it literally to that roundabout, the lane markers thought so too.

Sometimes rules should be left as they are rather than causing more confusion in an attempt to cause less.

Absolute knob, not you btw!

Had one slightly similar experience here once, on a motorway with a car following a truck in the left lane, both going around 80kmh. As i went to overtake the car pulled in front of me at the last minute, then braked and drove alongside the truck for a few hundred metres with the driver frantically giving the 'slow down' gesture. I just stuck my full beams on until they finally sped up and moved in.

What problem?

Well apart from indicating right in a left or straight lane only which is completely wrong, if there was a car alongside (not overtaking) but also going straight as they were entitled to do per the lane markings, they would have had to brake in case the moron indicating right actually went right.

I don't know how you can't see that.

I don't flash anymore at all. Don't even honk the horn. I just calmly go around the inside of the car not even breaking the speed limit. A person cruising along at a low speed in the outside lane is oblivious to why you are flashing. It completely changes your anger on the road by just ignoring it and motor on. Illegal but I've given up caring. Flashing loads is far more aggressive behaviour and you could end up in a road rage incident with the idiots.

Only 2 examples I can think of have an exit leading onto a dual carriageway where you intend to be in the left lane after exiting the roundabout: The N4 onto the N17

And the N17 onto the Tuam Bypass

But I agree. The driver in that clip was indicating poorly, despite what the "um ackshually that exit was 0.0027374° after the 12 O'clock therefore correct indicating" crowd here will say

It isn't beyond 12 o'clock, it is exactly 12 and it is also clearly marked on approach that the left lane only is for DL, not that it stops regular queue jumpers from using the right lane and dive bombing the exit.

What on earth makes you think it is allowed to turn right at these roundabouts from the left lane?

It isn't and anybody who does this is a dangerous idiot.

Even on the 1st pic you posted the arrows clearly show the 2 entry lanes for straight ahead, your path would cut up anyone beside you correctly taking that route.
