It's really quite common. Generally you'll catch a few in traffic around Dublin. Phone in over the speedo/dash with netflix on... The mind boggles.

Anyone making compilations these days? I've about 15 clips from the last few months in a Dropbox folder.

Anything interesting? I could put the clips together if you like?

Most are fairly mild stuff, probably wouldn't warrant a video on their own.

Oh come, however prejudiced your viewpoint is, you can't surely be defending that cyclist? Normally I wouldn't take much notice of what cyclists get up to, but that guy could potentially have caused an accident which might not have been trivial .

Ok, well let me know if you have anything worth sharing, I can edit and put them on YouTube.

After changing jobs i have come across a lot more impatient drivers. I mostly drive 1kph under the limit.

I'd pass you too. Are you a reluctant driver? If was behind you I'd assume you had a few drinks on board or we're elderly and probably shouldn't be driving. Do family members comment on your driving?

He said 1km/h below the speed limit. If he is doing that then he's not the one in the wrong no matter how much boards motors glorifies speeding.
"Assume you had a few drinks on board" is insulting to anyone who does drive properly.

If true then that's fine but he seems to be driving the same speed on all roads. Maybe I'm wrong but that's the way it looks.

As i said i drive 1 under the actual limit. Not the speedo speed but the GPS speed. So a speedo speed of 63kph in a 60 zone and 84 in an 80. Almost all the roads above are 50-60 or the odd 80.
2 are in a 60 to 50 zones
2 are in an 80 zone
8 clips are in 60 zones
1 is in a 60 to 80 zone and you can see me speed up https://youtu.be/U2ocfcq66z0?t=79

So yes i was mostly at the same speed on all the roads :rolleyes:

Fair enough, continue doing what you do. Before long you'll probably be posting footage of a head on collision of some car trying to pass you.

That would be their problem though.

Isambard · 24-05-2019 7:42am

i think it's what they call failing to make progress.
Too much emphasis on the speedo and not enough on road conditions.
I'd guess you are slow to accelerate up to speed as your watching for that last km/h to come up on the speedo. You're not doing anything wrong and plenty of people drive like that, but it can be very annoying to be following a hestitant over-cautious driver.

I was one of the posters that pushed for chat to be allowed and stated that if people didn’t like the comments they got to just ignore it and move on. But............

I can’t ****ing believe the last few comments about Stealth’s driving. I wish I had Stealth’s self control with my speed. Good job Stealth, you done SFA wrong.

If that's the case, then you probably need to go on an anger management course, or stop driving.

IrishZeus · 24-05-2019 8:33am

Boards logic:

Cam car > speed limit: Slow down you reckless moron, you'll cause an accident.
50% Cam car = speed limit: Speed up you reckless moron, you'll cause an accident.
50 % Cam car = speed limit: Slow down you reckless moron, you'll cause an accident.
Cam car < speed limit: Speed up you reckless moron, you'll cause an accident.

You can't win - people are actually vilifying the op for traveling at the correct speed :pac:

The funny thing is, i do exaclty as the op here, go to 64 on the speedo on a 60 km\h road, 84 on an 80 et cetera.
First time i posted a clip here, a lot of the comments were exactly the opposite as what op here gets to swallow.
You cant win indeed.

Silent Running · 24-05-2019 9:13am

There are some terrible drivers here on Boards. Just a fact of life, and you can see them on the road every day. Inappropriate speed and passing, running red lights, tailgating, non indicating on a roundabout (my personal hate) and generally acting the sack. They probably think they're skilled drivers though. :rolleyes:

artanevilla · 24-05-2019 11:52am

If you are behind a car going 50kmph in a 100kmph zone, you don't cross a continuous white line to overtake. You sit and wait.

Isambard · 24-05-2019 1:13pm

you might not but most people would.

With you on this...a case of doing the right thing rather than doing things right.
I remember when I had my first driving lessons being told to follow the traffic speed (within reason) and you could be failed for sticking to the speed limit if cars were 'forced' to overtake you.

I think that would be the correct thing to do if the roads were fairly busy but the majority of the clip it was just him and the car overtaking on the road.
I'm not sure what he should be doing different if a car blasts past him at well above the speed limit.

I know the cam car had the right of way but life is too short to waste on people like that, pull in and move on.

They should hand in their drivers license for pulling over for that wench.

It's not unknown for some parents (the SUV driving ones) to "self impose" a one way system on some roads around schools, they will force others to comply, as demonstrated in that video.

Here you are blaming the safer driver instead of the idiot who dangerously overtakes.

If this is your attitude to driving I think we'd all be safer if you didn't drive...

If someone is getting over taken that much does it not make you think why it's happening?

It seems like he has changed job and now does most his driving at times when the roads are quiet. Since there are less Garda on the roads at this time it's up to him to police the roads(speed up, block ext.) when someone goes to overtake on a solid white line.

I didn't see anyone getting blocked but don't let that get in the way of a good fairytale.

Always wary of that cross at Beamore. I've seen a couple of accidents there over the years and fair few close calls.

Yep, it's a dodgy junction. I always slow down there now, you can't see much from the video but he looked, saw me coming, waited and then pulled out. Much closer than it looked on cam.
