I emailed Northants traffic police with the link earlier.
They might at least 'ave a word'.

Any vehicle reg that starts with a K was originally registered in the East midlands/Luton area.

K with an M-Y second letter is from Northants according to Wikipedia.

Of course it could have been sold on anywhere else since.

I've learned something about UK regs today

Yeah, Northants is part of the East Midlands, A to L would be the southern end of the area including Luton.

Worst part was indecision, whether to brake and pull back in
or floor it , but probably still in top gear so looks like did a bit of both.
Bus will have a cam as well so driver may have reported it.

He won't have. Drive a bus or truck on Irish roads everyday and incidents like this and worse are a very regular occurrence.

You quickly learn that reporting bad drivers, even the dangerous ones is just a waste of your own time and will also make you vey unpopular with supervisors and management due to creating extra work for them.

Something would have to be exceptionally bad to bother and as bad as that was it would only be a 5 or 6 on the crazy scale.

If it doesn't involve a collision, an insurance claim or a request from the Garda it's a fair bet it won't be downloaded.

I won't post the reg in searchable text, but here's a pic of confirmation.

Mods can delete the embed if not allowed, but since the reg is already visible in Youtube I doubt if there's an issue.

One from this morning. Had I been a couple of seconds ahead it could have been a very different video.

Bit of excitement on a bank holiday Saturday.

Always liked this guys videos, not the usual UK cam stuff where the car cam aggressively drives to help create a situation.

Keep an eye on the light blue almera parked in the disabled spot. Traffic warden wants a word, driver moves off and stops past red light. Traffic Warden walks up to car, and he drives off through the intersection while the light is still red.

I presume this driver will be receiving further correspondence?

The traffic warden walked up to the driver to talk to him, and the driver broke a red light to leave.

09-04-2021 4:49pm

I'm confused, what I see is a car that has passed the stop line and the wasp is buzzing around it before they continue to jump the red completely/

That car had already broken the red light by crossing the line.

TherapyBoy · 09-04-2021 4:57pm

The red light jumping Almera had just pulled out of a disabled parking space to (seemingly) avoid the pedestrian traffic warden/parking attendant guy. When the warden followed him up to the red light Mr. Almera put the foot down. What’s confusing?

fritzelly · 09-04-2021 4:59pm

You completely misdirected me to the wrong car - was looking at the car at the lights in the loading bay lmao

Yeah but the blue looks almost silver and it was like a few secs at the beginning

josip · 09-04-2021 6:34pm

Colours aside it's a bit disappointing when experienced thread members don't know their scala from their almera.

inforfun · 09-04-2021 8:59pm

That is where he is parked and the parking dude is walking to the car.

high horse · 09-04-2021 9:02pm

Now that is traffic enforcement!

I wish we had some of that where I live. Around here people park on the roundabout if they're going to mass or on double yellows outside the Garda station without any consequences

My old NCT disc showed expiry of September 2020, yet was extended to January 2021 due to the pandemic.....

Ridiculous overtake from the DPD driver - he squeezed that Nissan to the edge of the road.

Yes, and right around the time the NCT centres were running half arsed tests due to post lifts safety recall

So no one could get full test at that time

Edit:just realized it is now 2021 so it is pushing it a bit too far lol.

Cabaal · 04-05-2021 8:34am

This overtake was far closer then it seems in the video, he was about 2 feet away from hitting our car.
He overtook between 2-3 cars on the hatch markings so it wasn't a legal overtake..outside of him nearly hitting me

/QUOTE]

Not hatch markings he crossed, solid line for you with broken for them means you are not allowed to overtake but they were once it was safe to do so.

Mind you, slight bend and brow should mean no overtaking on either side.

04-05-2021 5:21pm

Yeah, not to say the driver was in any way right, but that’s extremely badly marked.

They started overtaking prior to the broken line though,
Anyway regardless, he's had a visit and points for his troubles

How does the points bit work?
I know the guards can suggest paying a visit to 'have a word', but I thought that any stronger action would require a case to be brought and you to appear in court to witness your vid?

Hurrache · 05-05-2021 11:18am

Only if the driver wants to contest it, otherwise there's no need to go as a witness.

Isambard · 05-05-2021 12:30pm

there's dangerous driving and then there's people making errors. I think this was just a misjudged overtake, seems to me it started more or less at the start of the broken line.

I think that's just plain dangerous, no problem with the lines or overtaking more than one other vehicle etc but the combination and on a curve/bend - it's borderline mistake/insanity.

chooseusername · 05-05-2021 3:58pm

Here's the road going North in 2009 ,only one solid white line.
O.P was just about at the point where the two signs are up ahead
travelling south.

https://www.google.com/maps/@52.5758157,-7.3290424,3a,75y,55.76h,85.55t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s6_8ZNq9bv1CvGuDF3pMKWA!2e0!5s20090401T000000!7i13312!8i6656

Some roadworks done in the meantime , but a broken line there
is stupid.

frozenfrozen · 05-05-2021 6:05pm

the markings are there could be fine. That road could handle a safe overtake there of a tractor or cyclist or a car

the guy went and overtook maybe 6 bunched up cars at the same time with no options in between them to abort. You can't judge road markings by stuff like that. He didn't have the view for a 6 car overtake.

broken lines are to allow you to cross into that lane not a license to overtake no matter what
