No need to attack. I wasn't specifically talking about that roundabout. It was just a general comment about many road markings around the country.

I see more cases of markings being ignored every day than of markings worn out, where it would have mattered.

And this was about that specific video, where a comment about worn out markings was competely misplaced.

Trying to figure out who's at fault there! I assume it was the scooter as the bike had a green light.

Yeah the scooter definitely broke the light without a care in the world. Sucks for the biker. Hopefully neither were injured.

I love the Yaris breaking the red somewhere in the middle too.

The cycle lane is a two-way one that's controlled by lights and the scooter obviously just whizzed through them without thinking. The motorbike should have spotted it though, maybe 20% at fault. You can't just assume he's going to stop and plough on regardless.

Both were fine, anyway, they got up and shook hands and were on their way. First time I've driven in/out of town for work in 18 months, as I had to collect some heavy stuff from the office and I'll never do it again. Weather was atrocious, the driving was even worse. Took me two hrs to complete a journey from Merrion Sq to Dublin 5. I'd have been quicker cycling home and back in three times. That Yaris is indicative of the selfish wankery that was on display that day.

Are electric scooters still technically illegal for road use in Ireland or have they been recently legalised?

The lanes are extremely well marked on those roundabouts. 90% of people just choose to ignore them.

I drive them infrequently. Was doing a full u turn around one a couple months back and on the roundabout proper the markings' visibility were atrocious.

No excuse in the video though.

Nothing amazing, but a (not so) fine example of a merge onto the M50 at the Lucan road junction.
I'd say 'bloody insignia' but there was another one over my shoulder behaving perfectly well

Maybe but they didn't cause an emergency braking maneuver with the possibility of getting rear ended whilst preventing injury to a bloody cyclist!

You mean bloody cyclist ..... singular not plural.

But just ignore van parked on the footpath, the 4x4 reversing onto a main road, a passenger then opening a door into on coming traffic who had to cross a continuous white line to over take....

...but your focus is on the cyclist...... singular not plural

All the deflection aside, the cyclist was completely wrong.

That one is anyway. And if the car brakes hard and gets rear ended there's another accident caused by a cyclist that doesn't go down as one because they've rode off into the sunset.

I've no idea what the figures are but motorists cause the vast majority of accidents.......but sure why not gloss over that as well.

I never mentioned majority, but deflect on.

Hang on a sec watch that video again op goes around a car over a solid line into an oncoming turning lane and then moves over further whilst some clown opens his door into traffic. Then as it goes on an oncoming car drives over hatch marking to enter turning lane op is just leaving.

Yes the guy on the bike was a complete clown and won't be long for life cycling like that but to only see the cyclist when there were several motoring offences prior to the cyclists spectacular entrance.

Yes bloody cyclists indeed :rolleyes:

There was an ambulance behind the fire engine dealing with a separate incident and it looks to me like this guy came across the scene and started giving the Garda some lip. Whatever it was they seemed really pissed with him

Guy witht he dog ~1:40 - obv dog shouldn't be running about like that beside the road, but drier shoulda slowed down a bit (assuming he seen it).

But seems like he was deflecting responsibility, then uploads it.

That’s a ridiculously dangerous overtake. They need to be removed from the road. Blind hill, on a bend, no hard shoulder for escape by anyone either approaching or the bus.

All I'm hoping is that they realized what a stupid maneuver they did and will think twice next time. There are times when you misjudge the situation, but considering the person made the decision to cross the continuous white line (can't misjudge that), I doubt they learned anything.

McCrack · 22-11-2019 8:25am

Leaving aside crossing a continuous line it wouldn't have been a particularly dangerous move at all as it was coming out of a bend onto a straight if it were a better car that could accelerate quickly.

Lucky the bus had a hard verge and that gate opening ,otherwise there would have been serious trouble.

Even with the same car if they knew how gears worked!
But I guess they drive in blissful ignorance of mechanics, physics and the RoTR.
