Could you send it to Gay Byrnes crowd, The Garda Traffic Corps or the Garda Ombudsman maybe ?

He wasn't speeding or drunk so everything else is fine! Has anyone ever heard of someone being done for any other driving offence ?

My brother was done for his head light being blown, he had passed the NCT the day before so it just happened but he is the only person I have ever heard of getting done for this, despite the numbers of people driving without light, with only one light or with just parking lights on in the middle of the night in Dublin.

He deserved it though :pac:

Hell of a smash up today in Dundalk over 100 metres, they even managed to take a lamp post down. :eek: Multiple vehicles involved, looks like a possible Garda chase scenario.

You see this type of driving quite a lot around Europe, fair annoying alright but I don't let it bother me.

Nothing major just a slight over compensation by the bus. I know they have to allow for the swing but it's a bit much I thought...

You are right, noting major. That is a very tight bend/bridge, he'd be in the ditch otherwise.
It is the Fethard-Clonmel road, right?

So the bus driver would be in the ditch if he wasn't so far across the line,

What if a bus truck or large van was at the end of the bridge heading in that direction and he came ripping around the corner well across the line like that?

If the bus driver knows its a tight bend/bridge then the bus driver should have slowed down a hell of a lot more to compensate for it.

Looked pretty slow to me.

For the life of me I can't understand what's going on here?
Is he not just pulling into a gateway at the side of the building there with an automatic gate?

Desensitized by russian dash cam videos you're waiting for the big bang.

Probably a good thing. :eek: Our driving population has its faults, but we drive 100% better than eastern Europe. Maybe our vids confirm this.

Yup that's the Clonmel/Fethard road alright. That's between Slievenamon golf club and Lisronagh. Always a dodgy little bend for people cutting the corner. First time I've seen someone come across the line from the opposite way though.

A number of bickering posts, and posts referring to those, removed.
You don't have to agree on everything, but a modicum of decorum is expected.

Mean streets on rte 1 , guy setting this up on rte tried contacting me about this but wasnt interested

Mousewar · 27-01-2014 11:42PM

Got this one tonight. As I come onto the roundabout, look for the guy that's ahead of me indicating right. He then decides he missed his exit and he'll be damned if he's driving all the way around again. I'm not sure what the hell he does after that. I just tried to stay away from him.

MugMugs · 27-01-2014 11:53PM

he has to be pissed.

brokenarms · 28-01-2014 12:53AM

He looks like a foreign driver who is used to the other side the road, who just landed and rented a car.

Totally confused . Probably listing to his Garmin and shouting WTFa I canta exita herea.

andy t · 28-01-2014 01:20AM

i have a dash cam & its always on,,, good back-up to have

Mousewar · 28-01-2014 11:26AM

It was an 06CE car if i recall right so not the sort that is usually a rental. Thinking about I doubt he was just trying to make up for a missed turn as he seemed totally confused in his driving. Where he pulls in is a Health centre (closed at that time) and a building site so he wasn't going there. He was just trying to get off the road.
For oncoming traffic it's a blind bend into the roundabout. A few seconds later and he'd have frontended someone.

Pissed or an idiot I'd say.

It is shocking the number of times I see similar behaviour. I used to have to travel across the M50 roundabout at the Beacon, every second or third day someone would miss the turn and instead of accepting the mistake, they would reverse back round to the junction, or the other was taking the wrong exit and they would reverse back up onto the roundabout.
