When something tells you to hold back for a moment..

I think you're being very generous there; there where points you were in front of him and it's bleedin' obvious in that traffic the lane is going to be busy. Still no harm etc. and at least he gets the embarrassment of being shown up for being an eejit on boards :pac:

Take a dashcam on the M50 during rush hour, you're sure to get something.
I was nearly crushed by a fecken tipper truck this morning...

He didn't merge in "like a zipper" allowing one car per lane to proceed, even though my lane had the right of way.
Just blindly followed the car in front of him, then mustn't have see me in his blind spot and I couldn't see his indicators as I was parallel to him.

Nope.

Very little point in going on about speed in the motors forum. The Irish attitude of 'ah sure it'll be grand' is never more prevalent than boys (and girls) with their toys.

and had to speed up to pass the rolling road block

He had to go fast, otherwise he would still be on the wrong side when the oncoming car passed.

It was a bit tight, but I've seen a lot tighter where the oncoming car needed to hit the brakes.

In a hurry to have an accident I'd say.
Happened last Friday in the rain,
I was doing 90kph in a 100 zone.

TBH, I have witnessed almost every one of those manoeuvres on Irish roads over the years.
There are idiots everywhere.

The daftest thing is that the GTI had an aux lane to run in and could have merged much later ( & safer), there was no need to jump into lane 1 so early.

It looked like there might have been a bit of 'previous' with the MG (?) He seemed to dart into lane before the Golf had a chance. Prolly why the Golf driver decided to make him a dot in his rear view mirror.

Ah here, chew over this one for a while. What happened here? The GTI seems to throw a wobbly in the merge. It's not like he was in a hurry, he settled down to just below the speed limit.

I have noticed that more and more we have the pointless comparison of Ireland and Poland.
For the life of me I can't figure out why, they are both completely different when it comes to driving. There they are willing to take unbelievable risks to get in front and here we have far too many Yaris drivers.
I could understand if we were compared to the UK where our rules are similar but Poland?

In regards to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phTN7HHRlpg#t=55 it would seem that the only "green light" that the driver got was from a pedestrian crossing (zebra crossing on the road gives it away). At the junction, after the lights, you have a yield sign.

He then went from a minor to a major road (the yield sign signifies this), without yielding to oncoming traffic, and whilst crossing multiple lanes without due and attention, got hit from the side.

Actually, the cam-car drove into the side of the Clio, but that could be a result of the Clio driver swerving to avoid the cam-car.

CiniO said that the Polish police have put this to bed, so our take on it is probably mute at this stage.

Next controversy please ....... ?:rolleyes:

This

Junction from the direction the red car came from

Then of course there's always the Polish rules of Red Lights anyway

Please don't start the discussion from the beginning.
Browse through last few pages, where I clearly explained that light was not for pedestrian crossing, but for the whole junction, and clio that cam driver collided with had red light.

4. Why it's always worth having a good look around before going on green light. Watch from about 0:50

That's because they're compiled from hundreds of hours of footage.

I see driving like that on Motorways every day here, but if you translate it to a one lane carriageway for 20km as shown on the Polish videos, you'd get the same thing on Irish roads.

Completely don't agree with you.
There's still plenty of routes in Ireland with no motorways at all, and generally roads here are way narrower and of worse quality than in Poland.

And even though, I still don't see in Ireland idiots like on the video from Poland.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying that everyone drives like that in Poland. They don't. Most people drive absolutely normally, and very carefully.
But there's a small minority of drivers there, who do those mad things like on the video.
And even if it's very small minority (f.e. 0.5% so 1 driver per 200), then such minority in Ireland is way smaller. (f.e. 0.01% so 1 driver per 10000).
You just don't really see such behaviour here in Ireland.

The vast majority of the Polish videos were quite clearly not in city centres.

Well, no longer that 10 years ago, there was virtually no motorways in Ireland at all, and double carriage ways were very rare thing.
Driving from Donegal to Cork would be all day journey. Galway to Dublin at least half a day.
And you know what - I don't recall things like on wonski's video happening here on Irish roads.

Ok, it's not safe obviously but the bellends on Irish roads would drive like that if you still had to go through each town from Belfast to Cork. And, the driving would degenerate to the type of driving you see in those Polish videos very quickly.
