And the same idiot submits the video to a dashcam channel for everyone to see

the van boat was magical

liamog · 05-01-2021 2:52pm

I wonder why the van didn't use the bridge, the way he set's up the phone on the dash makes me think he was doing it to make a cool video as he fords the stream!

I would suspect it's a bridge for walkers only.

Is that in the Glencree area heading back Enniskerry direction from the Sally Gap? Used to love flying it home back to Bray on the bike downhill all the way from the Gap along there but you used to meet some real arseholes there too, theres more people driving on the wrong side of the road there than anywhere else Ive ever seen.

I like where the mobile lane closure truck was positioned

AndyBoBandy · 22-01-2021 3:17pm

I've never seen vans that or any size on a transporter top deck like that!!

I'm guessing a capsize due to a strong gust!!

What's the issue? I see a green light for both, if you want to turn across him expedite the turn.

liamog · 23-01-2021 5:05pm

I feel for the deliveroo rider, looks like the cam car tried to cut him off in his straight ahead lane.

donvito99 · 23-01-2021 5:08pm

I think they're on strike tomorrow so he'll have to find another excuse for slowing thru traffic on the quays.

What's your point as it has zero bearing on that clip.

The clip is a non issue created by someone that thought they caught a deliveroo driver doing something terrible :eek:. I'm also well aware that some deliveroo drivers are an absolute disaster with zero fecks given, same could be said for those bicycle tuck tuck drivers and god forbid some motorists.

Had a pedestrian walked out there you can be sure that clip wouldn't have gotten any air time. :rolleyes:

Note 11?

11.Cyclists should always apply a “leave no trace” ethos when
cycling and should keep any food wrappers, gel packaging or
empty bottles etc. until they can be disposed of.

If he's abeam your car he has the right of way. Accelerate and make the turn otherwise.

He wanted to cut off another vehicle and cross an active lane of traffic to make a turn?

DaveyDave · 23-01-2021 5:31pm

Even if the cyclist was wrong, you can see him up ahead, best just let him pass and make the turn safely.

Cyclist isn't in the wrong though, he's proceeding straight across a junction in his lane on a green light, this is no different than a driver passing a slower driver on the left and then trying to turn across them at the junction.

11 A cyclist should NEVER go up the path side of a large
vehicle (bus or lorry) even if there is a bike lane there – wait
until it turns or drives away.

I find it funny that you apply this advice to the scenario shown.

Oh I know, the cyclist is in an active lane. It's a bit like going from the middle lane to exit a motorway across someone. I was just saying *if* they were wrong, even if the driver was in the right, it's not smart to try cut across them. When you're arriving at the junction at the same time it's a fairly predictable situation and easily avoided.

Ahh I get you, I was thinking the best analogy for people who don't see the issues is turning long left over a bus lane.

If you had to make the left turn and there was a bus coming up your inside then you'd hold off to allow the bus to proceed.

punisher5112 · 23-01-2021 6:01pm

Wtf is going on...

Absolutely nothing to see in that clip

Yep this. Going by the footage he was easily seen and not signalling right, so best for everyone to just keep an eye out and let him go on before turning.

Sadly not. Point here is because of a stupid design and in darker hours it's dangerous so if an accident did occur who's at fault

It's actually a surprisingly good design IMO. The problem is you my friend.

Don't think so. Let's see how long before something happens and the outcome. Judging by the cycle brigade here they've the right just to carry on. The speed some of them cycle and on dark nights this will be a problem that's all.

Either way car insurance pays as cyclists haven't any unless personal insurance taken out.

The deliveroo gear reflects at night, street lights a plenty in the city and use mirror....

If you are ahead and indicated to turn them no cyclists should pass unless you don't have a turn arrow or full green(circle)
The onus is on the driver to check it's safe.

speeding cyclists? i doubt they exceed the limit too often.

micar · 23-01-2021 11:55pm

I take it Jimmy that's you driving.

Another motorist who lacks any forward thinking.

Where did you think cyclist was going to go?

Why do you think it's acceptable to start turning right across into the cycle lane knowing there was a cyclist coming on your right.

Perhaps you did it deliberately thinking you do have right of way (Which you don't) to see what the cyclist would do. If that's the case shame on you for risking a potential serious injury on the cyclist.

It's motorists like you who need to be given a bike told to cycle around the city. You will experience crap driving like that. May be due to that experience, you're driving might improve.

If you look once more driver stopped second how did anyone know where he was going. And lastly I do cycle in fact.

The driver began to turn right before the cyclist passed.

The cyclist is in the left hand cycle lane which has an arrow pointing straight.....there's your clue.

The effect of the driver starting to turn right meant the cyclist cyclist ended up having the move to the right as their safe space was removed.

Were you the driver?

If you are the driver and also a cyclist then you are an absolute disgrace.

punisher5112 · 24-01-2021 2:13am

Right I'll say it... If this clip is as it is and the driver came up and passed the cyclist then car driver definitely needs Togo get some lessons.

I actually can't believe this is getting such a discussion....

Cos it's a fine example of a motorist who believes he/she did nothing wrong and if an accident did occur it would be the cyclists fault.

There will be others who see this and think the same thing

Very good design. If that is dangerous then so is every 2 lane one way road in the country

no, the point you explicitly made was that you don't feel sorry for food delivery cyclists - you were blaming him, not the road design. put down the goalposts. *and* stop digging, doing both must be tiring.

I don’t think most people who replied need to learn anything. The cyclist brigade wading in tarring everyone with the same brush probably doesn’t really help, especially when most would agree with you.

Those same cyclists like me are also drivers.

"Tarring everyone with the same brush" is exactly what motorists do against cyclists all the time.

You'd be surprised how many motorists who feel it's ok to go past a cyclist to take an immediate left turn.

yes but the point being made is that you can't tar all cyclists with the same brush and yet you seem to be tarring all motorists.
