Remember I had to jam on the breaks to avoid a collision and then continue on my way, I had no intention at blocking as the right lane is the quickest to join the M50. The other driver made a mistake by missing the exit, should have continued on the Malahide road and then did the turnaround further on to avoid the dangerous situation. Who was the aggressive driver? I was joining the M50 at freeflow where you are not expected to slow down or stop on the slip road(no hazards ahead), the other driver was in the Malahide lane heading to a traffic light stop where you are expected to slow down and stop. Do you even know the junction?? Well, one poster posted a post with a few thanks saying my driving was worse. There was no criticism of the reckless driving from the other driver changing lanes on a motorway junction at the last second like that. I'd love to know where that magical space at the left of me to give way at the point of the incident is, it must be invisible!!

Its obvious I could not give way to the left at the point of the incident(no space) but some posters think I deliberately blocked the other driver after when the road splits in two, that was not my intention. I'm not a mind-reader as to what the other driver was going to do after I headed on my way

Nenagh, Co Tipperary - 15-June-2013 17:37pm Guy speeds up and cuts me off on the roundabout going the wrong way. Get's out and threatens to take me to the Garda station and that I don't know how to drive. The Driver of the jeep is a reserve Garda based out of Nenagh, Co Tipperary. Today 09-01-2014 I have been informed that no charges will be brought against him and he will only receive a caution. The DPP advised that it would be too costly to proceed further

Does anyone else find the title a bit dramatic? "Nearly caused me to crash" would imply emergency braking or similar to me.
And is it significant to readers that the right turner is driving a Range Rover instead of a Ford Focus or a commercial van for example?
