Hi lads

Anyone help manipulate the imagery on this to ID the registration plate ? I think I need to call it in to the Trafficwatch number

Also, the front camera seems to always pick up glare from the sun. It's a Blackvue, I wonder if there are settings I can play with. I don't want to start adding filters to the lens (the might work in daylight, but the render it useless in the dark)

:eek: WTF

My laptop can barely handle SD videos on youtube unfortunately. This driver does not belong to our roads. What was the reason he got there, he was on the other side if I see correctly

Here's the best I can get watching it on youtube at 1080p.
If I had to take a "punt" I'd say 02 - D - something something something something 4
Should be enough for the blue heelers to go on

franksm · 22-08-2014 05:29PM

Cheers, these are the best that I could "snip" off the stills. These thumbs link to bigger pics. I think the reg might be 02-D-xx264

Rang Trafficwatch with the info I had, they were happy enough to record the complaint anyway.

The blue punto matches the reg. Well done so far.

64 was easy to guess, the rest though:eek:

Well done rameire - there is a chance we have it wrong, but I doubt it.

Way to go rameire!
How did you make out the numbers after the D?
Do you have CSI software that can turn 2 pixels into a 4 digit number?
Or did you try all 1000 combinations on the website?
Or something else?

One thing's for sure, Punto driver had better get him/herself a good solicitor.

I thought all males were good at looking at small pixelated images and being able to make out things.

it was the first one I tried.

Colovelictis · 22-08-2014 06:26PM

Unfortunately, it appears as though that this has become an absolute necessity in this day and age. Once people see that they are being recorded they instantly act a little different as well. I am going to pick one up next month (praying for no incidents until) just for insurance purposes.

Jeez, Rameire, like a BOSS !

josip · 22-08-2014 06:47PM

Although this was a horrendous piece of driving by the Punto, does anyone have an opinion on whether any action will be taken against them?

A defending solicitor could argue that the reg can't be clearly made out.
What then?
Would it be enough for the prosecution to say that it's the only Blue Punto with a 02-D***64 reg?
What happens if the owner claims they weren't the one driving? Do they have to identify who was?
Would a prosecutor look at this and say, nah too many places where a defending solicitor could get them off, and decide not to bother taking a case?

CiniO · 22-08-2014 09:34PM

Leaving identifying and prosecuting punto driver aside, does anyone actually have an idea what what this manouver about? Why did he actually do it?
Because I can't think of any reasons to do it.

I doubt it, never really heard trafficwatch having many (if any) prosecutions but something like the Punto Dip**** video would definitely put the driver on Garda radar.

I don't know the road, but maybe he was exiting a junction and decided to use the hard shoulder (or was it a bus lane) as an acceleration lane before jumping over to the correct side.

Ken. · 22-08-2014 10:23PM

My opinion is punto went to overtake the black car and seen Frank approaching and couldn't pull back in so dived for the lane and passed Frank on the inside.

The 2 of you should either watch the video again, or stay away from the rest of us.

Looking again, He appears to jump across the road behind the black car and go straight into the left lane and try to overtake regardless.

Watch from the start where the punto jumps out from behind the car approaching Frank.

With all due respect wonski, I think you should watch the video again. The Punto attempts to overtake a Vectra, heading for the OPs car. It then enters the bus lane on the wrong side of the road passing the OPs car on his inside, then returns to the correct side of the road.
The patethic thing about it all is that he didn't even manage to overtake the Vectra in the end!

But was it really it?
For me it doesn't really look like punto is trying to overtake vectra.
It just changed to opposite side (towards the op) and then changed it even further into bus lane, to return to it's own driving lane in the end.

This manouver doesn't really make sense at all.

For me it looks like that punto driver was either drunk, under some heavy drugs or just mentally insane or sick.

wonski · 23-08-2014 12:57AM

I think I (mistakenly) took some of the posts as an excuse to what the little Punto did.

The worst part is I did the mistake twice:o

Needless to say I do not own a Punto, and the actions of this idiot should have been reported.

Let's move on, the best Irish dashcam so far so let's not ruin it.

I hate being sober on Sat evening, you lose a sense of humour...
