Nothing breathtaking - some cycling offenders from Limerick earlier during the summer.
The last pair do win a prize though for..........

Where have you parked your vehicle?

Clearly you are not in traffic, and your vehicle is jutting out into the carriageway. The cyclist has to filter between your vehicle and the black car to your right.

According to StreetView imagery from 2009 there appears to be a Loading Bay at that spot. Self-evidently you are not parked in it. Partly in it, perhaps. And partly on the kerb also, perhaps? The road signage is not visible in your video, and the bonnet of your obviously large vehicle is close to the trees on the left.

And by the way, if you had parked your vehicle in (or near) a designated Loading Bay, do you have a permit to do so?

google maps out of date, there's more parking there now

Hi Guys,

Has anyone had any look using their mobile phone as a dashcam? I have a HTC One M8 and its dash mouted.. and the camera can see the road ahead.. any reliable apps out there ?

Cheers,
Mick

Used autogaurd blackbox and dailyroads voyager. Both were quite good.

With regards to the cycles on the foot path. I was under the impression the the RSA recommended children ride on the path.

Could be wrong.

Not one comment from you about the red haired cyclist passing straight through the red traffic light & straight at crossing pedestrians, no?
Instead, you comment on my vehicle's position as I was moving off from being parked correctly & legally.
I was not parked as the cyclist passed. My right indicator was on. The vehicle behind had indicated that I could pull out into traffic. The traffic light was red.
Maybe I should upload the preceding & proceeding minutes of footage to allay your suspicions of inappropriate parking on my behalf?

The cyclist had ample time to see I was moving out but still decided to continue through the gap & continue merrily through the red traffic light.
I was parked exactly where the silver Mitsubishi is shown in your Google image by the way before pulling out from the space.

But no, Iwannahurl magically sees a vehicle illegally parked on a commercial loading bay, parked partially on a footpath & jutting out into traffic, obstructing cyclists & breaking all manner of road safety rules.

Unbelievable.

Why are you surprised? I started reading his post without having seen who the author is and knew within a sentence by the aggressive sanctimony that it was IWH.

All that self righteous amateur detective work and you are completely wrong. What a clever waste of your own time. Well done.

My sound is kaput so I can't hear anything on the video, such as indicators etc.

In any event, you are in the carriageway. The driver of the vehicle behind, unless a Garda, has no authority to direct traffic.

As for cyclists breaking red lights, I am compliant in that regard and in my posting record there is plenty about cyclists' lawbreaking and general muppetry.

Your video also shows a typical example of illegal parking. See pic below. The man loading the car seems to be obstructing the dished kerb. Did you even notice that?

A pedestrian also crosses the road at 0:08 (left of frame). Some might regard that as "jay-walking" because of the phase of the traffic signals. Except no pedestrian crossing is provided at the pedestrians crossing point.

All in all a typical Irish street scene, ie lots of, er, 'improvisation'.

Now that you mention it, maybe you should post footage from before and after the shocking incident.

Weird one now, I left the long version of this video up to show I wasn't undertaking - I don't know why the truck does this ...

Looks like a motorway divided by bushes and something comes through from the other side.

More likly totally oblivious to the fact that it was a tree just got thrown away.

Related to the above (this is nasty but thankfully pedestrians head seems to have avoided any direct impact)

Shows all the signs of a driver on a mobile phone that slowed to see if this was his exit.

If you were to have passed him on the left it wouldn't have been an undertake given the hatchings indicate that it's the exit lane and the lane doesn't continue on, it's ok to pass in this case

Well I disagree. IMO it's undertake as any other and it's illegal.
But it's not a discussion for this thread.
