Met him on the way into Limerick on Wednesday morning. Thanks be to God no-one was killed.

There should be an instant ban for doing something as stupid as that.

I've twice met cars going the wrong way down an exit off them M50, the guards saw one of them and the other realised her mistake and turned around.

Looks like there was no number plate on it. Stolen?

And this is why you always consider the outside lane a "passing lane" ... that section around Bunratty is very bad for this kind of thing.

at least it wasn't a wet monday morning!

I imagine if you were trailing that truck and your car got covered in cement it'd need some fast attention!

So the van in front of me was doing 50-55 km/h in a 60 zone, not exactly mind-numbingly slow but Mr. Focus in his "1.4 but quicker than a Ferrari" couldn't bear to be held up any longer. He turned left a few hundred metres later, which makes his unnecessary dangerous overtaking all the more pointless.

Also, I'm not one for the "think of the children" type hysterics, but a few seconds before the start of this clip, I passed the location where a young mother was killed and her newborn baby was seriously injured by a car which went out of control, just a few months ago.

I know what you mean, I've recently become very hesitant about overtaking near bends.

Imo it's long overdue that we have "STOP : wrong way" signs displayed towards wrong way traffic for at least 1km before every motorway/DC exit but I suspect nothing proactive will be done until at least 5 people or a politician's relative are killed.:mad:

Putting up proper "No Entry" signs would be a good start rather than the old style "no straight ahead" signs as those signs are non standard and many foreign drivers wouldn't notice them (even more so now that the proper signs are widely used elsewhere). Flashing red lights activated by motion sensors would alert those who ignore the No entry signs and after that a set of angled spikes to puncture the tyres!

It would make you think twice about being in the right hand lane on a dual carriageway without a clear view of the road ahead. After he passed me, I was like 'did I really see that???'.

Bear1, Iwannahurl posted km/h which is basically what you're saying, Red Nissan.

That's mad.. they're going so fast they're almost on top of you before you see them.

The video owner claimed it was 100 mph.

It wasn't that fast clearly.

rameire

thats crazy speed the merc is doing,
Ive always thought about how I would react if I came across a car head on.
Ive always thought Id have time to slow down, put lights and hazards on and try to slow or stop the person,
the reality is, you may not have a chance
but if you do, get the fcuk out of the way and call the Gardai, and pray nobody hits the idiot driving like a tool.

I'd seriously doubt that lad was going 100mph.

In that couple of seconds a car sped by from right to left at what must have been close to 100 km/h, if not over it.

No he wasn't. Probably doing about sixty.

Can't say if it was stolen, there is a reg plate on it, but can't make it out fully as he was going so fast. Looks like 04-C-xxxx.

Probably some doddery old f*cker. A toyota people carrier and a motorbike passed me just before this so they could have met this guy head on!

I got confused the first time I went through that junction, as the signage isn't great. IIRC, it says Castleknock in the left hand lane and Blanch in the next lane. But if you want to go to Blanch village, you're better off in the 'Castleknock' lane.

And if you want to get to Castleknock relatively quickly, at the roundabout you come to you take the Blanchardstown exit and go down by the bell pub.

Otherwise you end up at the whore of a junction across from Auburn Ave where the light synchronisation is useless and only 3-5 cars get to turn right at this junction:

I recently posted one here of the same juction, only someone jumped into the slip road to blanch. Really bad signage, the big over heads should be much earlier

Completely agree, if you don't know the junction it is a confusing one.

Eh! does he not know if he continues on round the round-about he will find himself a multitude off choices about what to do next, oh and his exit will still be there!!:rolleyes:
