What kind of plonker parks their car blaocking access and doesn't at least leave a note on the dash with contact information?

You can buy an OBD-II bluetooth adapter for about 20 quid from ebay that will hook into your cars diagnostics (most cars from 96 onwards will have this port) and then hook that up to an app on your phone to record braking effort, speed, location etc

They did have a pallet on the forks so any damage would be limited.

It's a wonder he hadn't just push the prongs through the side glass and lift it up that way!! :pac:

The N7 from Newlands cross heading outbound is the worst stretch I've encountered for lane discipline.

Yep, some of that happened - and even plenty flashing and horn blowing didn't make the slightest difference.

Similar to my experience yesterday, Pug 307 in middle lane of the N7...at 60kph, left lane completely clear. Caused havoc as basically 3 lanes of traffic had to make their way around her via the right hand lane.

You had ample time to stop for the amber light. Your speed seems to be slow enough to stop.
In fact you didn't even clear the junction when the light had gone to red.
Sorry, but you shouldn't have ran the light and then complain about the Civic.
And I seriously don't get the "it only went amber as you were watching the cars" sentence, are you saying you deliberately ran the amber to see if the cars would then move in front of you?

In all fairness, he did admit he ran the amber light in the 'heading' off his post, and I'm not surprised the far light had gone red as he was clearing the junction after what had just happened. Yes he was driving at a decent enough speed to 'maybe' stop probably beyond the line! Stopping distance at 50kph I think is 24 metres(correct me if I'm wrong).

I knew within seconds those guys where going to be stuck in no mans land, hence holding up the traffic coming from the other side, hence nearly causing me to ram them, hence maybe injuring me or worse.... There side off said junction only gets a Right turn green light for about 10 secs, then I get green and their 'straight' on stays green untill the sequence hits red... The last car that nearly got rammed by me would have paid for everything.

Are you a car crash investigator? Why would the Civic have paid for everything?

Two lanes before the roundabout, two lane roundabout, two lanes after the roundabout. Not sure.

Give the video to the Gardai, and see if they can find him. The driver may be a repeat offender.

Excuse you... the light to turn right was red for that car that... turned right.

Dear dear me! the naivety off some posters to a simple straight forward video clip, if you knew this particular junction you would know, that you can not make your way and get 'stuck' in the middle off said junction unless you enter illegally... From the stop line to the right turn literally takes 2 secs, if you know your about to lose your green light, which most local people do, well then most people speed up and make it from the stop line to the right turn in 1 sec.... So without a shadow of a doubt those two cars entered the junction illegally. The only reason my light was amber as I went through was because I suspected these guys would possibly make a dash for it. I certainly wasn't going to stop dead as it flipped into amber, it wouldn't have been safe to do so, my mind and eyes where occupied with said drivers. Anyway I'd say that second driver has learned his lesson(after all we all make mistakes)....

So what you are saying is you deliberately pushed on through, wrongly by mine and most other people in this thread it seems, an amber light was because you suspected others might have done something wrong themselves???

Charming.

There is no "no mans land" in a situation like this - if a vehicle has legally moved forward into the middle of junction waiting for a green arrow which doesn't come on and their light turns red and traffic has stopped, they are in control of the junction. IMO looking at the video, you had ample time to stop when your amber light came on. Amber = stop unless unsafe to do so. The Civic could then have made his right turn legally and safely. I suspect that both of you would be held partly liable if there had been a crash.

It's not as simple as your first statement that "my light was amber, but his was red!". You should have stopped and he would then have been in control of the junction.

I don't know the exact light sequence at the place but given the position of the white line a bit backward from the light, their light may have been green/amber when they crossed it and they were only clearing the intersection.

Your light turn amber at 0:22 and I would expect their to do the same. I think they at that point they are well past the white stopping line.

Your lights were a very dark shade of amber ....
They turn from amber to red at 0:25 and you're on the line.
