Re: the first guy - apart for the slight cut off, what else did he do wrong?
Oh, and BTW, you were in the incorrect lane for your exit.;)

Oh here we go again. I changed the lane I used to always use, to suit the official way the RSA teach Irish drivers. Legally I am correct although I do agree we should use the other lane, but theres been and epic amount of discussion on this already.

And apart from crossing lanes twice ? I could have driven up beside him like normal and would have got my front smashed going onto roundabout and side smashed whilst on it. Its only because I know Irish drivers are idiots, I always hold back.

More idiots from last week whilst we are at it! Good job I don't trust anyone to use lanes properly. The black micra with the ould one stayed going and just about missed me.

Fair play. I would have made him my new bonnet ornament!

Here's a bit from yesterday. Idiot gaurds drove all the way from where I met them in Drogheda to Dublin in overtaking lane at 70mph. (sorry about bad quality)

Another review from Techmoan.

808 # 18 DR32 Dash Cam.

Great video quality - day, night and inside, and even sound - you can even hear the indicators.

Very easy to read number plates.

One con is the size of the mount - not very discreet.

About 80 euro inc delivery, loads of links on Techmoan's blog

What was he on?!

The reg is hard to make out in the video, but I think this is it.

I think he must have broken down and he was in a hurry. You being a taxi, he needed a lift.

whomitconcerns

Now thats a scary situation...what an a$$hole no matter what you did or didnt do...it wasnt that close a miss for that crazy reaction by him....

Basically, went into the left lane didn't see him indicate until last minute car pillar was blocking. stopped allowed him out.

He stuck his fingers up at me which u can see then jammed on his brakes and got out of his car then attempted to open my car

Excuse the language and yes I did pull out in front of the mondeo but I wasn't waiting around and u can hear me apologise.

what do use think

blahblah06

Ah I reckon he was just a foreign lad. Had a girl in his passenger seat aswell.
I'm going to ring traffic watch tomorrow

cats.life

ohhh op did he get your reg when ya ''left '' .he could report you just when he didnt get any satisfaction as in he didnt get chance to rant and rave at you, he could be under cover cop but wouldnt he have blue lights as well.

aman23

What a scumbag! fair play to you, for not losing your cool. but i think it is well worth reporting him to the guards. he might pick on some little old dear the next time!

well, such kind behavior is unacceptable. it probably coming from Russians. has to be stopped. , a specially if he nearly caused an accident, and then jumping out from car.

p.s. maybe he wanted tell you," thanks mister, you didnt hit my car "

Doubt it.

You had to make an accident, and it would be his fault, as he had let you go, and then move in to lane.

Well, would you not report to Garda ? I would consider it as attempt of hijacking your car. get that fecker with Gards, and ask him what did he want ? It is not normal, if somebody jumps out of car, and trying open doors.

Oops sorry, ye you are right. He's still a dickhead though :pac:

I don't think he was intentionally blocking, he just didn't bother his ass checking for traffic coming from the lane he was pulling into.

In summary he is a f*cking dickhead!

Yer man was a twit, tbh.

Yeah you made a bit of a mistake in pulling out in front of the mondeo, but i wouldn't have been hanging around either....
Done right to apologise to mondeo driver though.

Why were his lights flashing like that? Was it an undercover Garda car?

The new led lights just flash when caught on camera - don't see it with naked eye. Next time when top gear are doing all the fancy slow-mo stuff you'll see a similar effect.

Sorry you had to go through that but what happened afterwards ? Looks like you sped past him and almost caused another crash yourself !! :eek:

Are you a taxi driver? I see the little cards on the dash ..... (just curious as I am being nosey :P)

of course I went past I wasn't waiting around LOL.. Had to chance it or else god knows what. Had a girl passenger in the car

You can hear him trying to open the drivers door in the video

Ye im a taxi driver well spotted

Ciaran, Ive no idea why his lights were like that. I presume it was the video.

(edit - just saw that you apologised to the guy you pulled out in front of, I had the audio switched off, fair play to you for apologising)

Kinda scary, but I'd say it was a close one to have a head on crash.

Gosh .. i have no camera in my car ... nearly every time, i am on M50, goin to work, I would have something to post on. Today Toyota jump in third line at the front of merc (taxi) ... i was behind that taxi, nearly caused accident in front of me.

Funny is that , that toyota driver realized, he cut the way of taxi, nearly caused accident, kept squeeze in the line, causing taxi hard brake , to avoid accident. and all in 110 "ish" km/h speeds.

I'm the same, everyday i'm faced with near misses. I might try out the iphone app first if i can find my old sat nav mount then get a decent cam.

Most of my near misses happen when people don't use the lanes on a roundabout and cut you off
