    If they were smart they would've worn helmets and not balaclava's, although something tells me these lads weren't the brightest...

    They were looking for their next target, but they're so dumb, they've attracted much attention.
    I suspect that's why there was a delay on the 999 call as many other callers were reporting the same.

    They are under siege over there. There are so many calling 999 for the littlest of things they even ask to ring other numbers etc.

    Moped crime is huge and they are about time now starting to crack down on it.

    They even have new motocycle teams on scrambler style bikes to catch them.

    Any time i ever see an impressive garda response, it's due to travellers.


    Otherwise I rarely ever see more than a single Garda car with two occupants.

    They've had such teams for decades.

    This'll stir up some controversy. I feel there's nothing particularly wrong with this overtake, plenty of visibility, lots of notice, space to move over to avoid him etc.

    But if I know this thread, the way I think I know it... :p





    Both truck drivers are idiots, one is on hard shoulder going by houses and in doing so encouraging the other one to over take.
    I blame the guy in Nolan truck for driving on hard shoulder and egging other truck to overtake.

    Deserved it, he could have stopped he was purely trying to get ahead, same goes for white car just ahead doing same thing, van driver indicated, he was just being impatient.
    White car ahead actually caused it, and will hop off scot free and everyone else will pick up the pieces

    That must have been absolute nightmare fuel for the pilot. Fook me it must be terrifying to approach a landing site in mountainous terrain with 0 visibility.

    Van driver doesn't indicate. They were his brake lights flashing due to ABS, I suspect.

    Those guys are pros, so par for the course. Apparently they weren't landing either, just literally following the road until skies cleared ahead!

    Got a 70mai camera recently and am very pleased with it. Put together a couple of examples of bad driving over it's first month in action.

    Quality is a good bit lower than original due to the app I used to edit it.

    [YOU TUBE]SGSsliVTxSQ[/YOU TUBE]
    Classic motorway driving, after many miles of boring same-o same-o traffic, most motorists go into "drone mode".
    Looks like a left lane slowdown at the approach to a junction with one driver easing off, the following drivers reacting late and braking much harder than needed causing the following vehicles to do an emergency stop and the ones behind to take evasive action.


    This is one area where some automatic system where cars communicate with each other would prevent crashes, your dashboard alerts you to the fact that traffic is slowing down ahead.

    Looking at that video, why shouldn't we?
    There was no risk to anyone at the junction, the driver broke the law, but in reality, at many junctions, it's a stupid law.

    I agree to a point but I think it's worries for pedestrians that stops it happening here.

    Agreed. There is a junction near where I live where traffic is stopped and there is a green filter for those turning right, yet no green filter for those turning left into that road despite there being no chance of oncoming traffic. Stupid really.

    It's no different to stopping at a give way sign, you are no a minor road entering a major road, pedestrians (unless there is a crossing as part of the lights) will have a lower priority.


    The best option would be to use flashing Amber lights that come on when the pedestrian crossing to the left is red. Lights that dont have pedestrian crossing would not need the flashing Amber.

    Until recently the police were restricted from knocking them off scooters without a helmet. So the gangs knew if they don't wear helmets the cop car can't barge them. New rules now though.
