    Hope the mods don't mind, it's a dash cam video.

    Dim driver driving without lights on a dark morning, it was only the lights of the car following that made him visible.

    I'm curious on what I should have done differently.
    Change lane earlier ?

    To Mod: should we start another thread for the comments ?

    This thread is for dashcam videos only. Not chat. I have cleaned up posts without videos.

    A bit hard to see from the video, best to watch in at least 720p and full screen.
    Watch the wine coloured Mercedes that goes by in the left lane.
    It switches to the right lane to undertake a few cars and then when it catches up with another car in that lane it uses the hard shoulder to undertake.
    It then gets stcuk and the driver seems to be on both brake and throttle permanently before diving into the left lane again, cutting up another car and causing it to come hard on the brakes.
    Would have liked to be closer, but couldn't match the Mercedes’ acceleration :)

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Saw this tulip today totally disregarding any rules at a roundabout.
    The car in front of him is as guilty as he is, but at least he had some sort of gap to go for, the guy in the white Auris, had no gap.

    The Audi driver was pretty pi$$ed off, and thy remonstrated with each other for a while.
    After I passed them, I saw the Audi driver almost cause a crash while he was waving his hands out the window while alongside the Auris.

    Poor lane discipline going through a junction,

    Reason I went for the undertake was the guy was slowing down coming up to a set of green lights, as evidenced by the fact the bus was pulling away from him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 248 ✭✭tmg




    Straight through a red light while I was crossing. on the phone too from what I could see.

    can anyone make out the number?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 385 ✭✭Lawless2k12


    Heading home in the wee hours of the morning from a poorly filled town on a friday night and came around the corner to meet a lost soul/ a drunk/ a chancer/ a sh1te driver. You be the judge :)

    Traffic lights are faulty, countdown to zero and then flash "--", cars in front drive on however as I get to the pedestrian crossing I can see the left/right lights are still green so stop, black van turning left obviously sees me and sounds his horn, nowhere I can go as car directly behind me, sound my horn as it's obvious he won't make the turn without hitting me however he accelerates presumably due to the oncoming car and clips my bumper. Assume he must have felt it and also assume the damage to his car must be more substantial than mine however he didn't stop. I got out and checked the damage and hung around for a few minutes however he didn't return and I didn't get his number. Chalk it up to experience.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,039 ✭✭✭✭AndyBoBandy


    Idiots like this really annoy me.

    Had he waited about 100 metres, he could have safely/legally changed lane.

    He also had plenty of time before the lanes were split with the hatchings to move into the lane he wanted.

    Cyclist has to swerve across the road to avoid getting hit by a car and a pedestrian runs directly into 3 lanes of moving traffic ...

    I'm going to put my hands up and say that i'm no angel in this one, but this guy made me feel like i was stopped. . . .
    (just to add,the outside lane is right turn only!)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,171 ✭✭✭finnharpsboy


    Thankfully nothing was coming the other way over the bridge



    Red Light



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,101 ✭✭✭dickwod1


    4 Clips from today, Hope nobody was hurt at the crash ...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,039 ✭✭✭✭AndyBoBandy


    2 catches today within the space of 5 minutes,

    First one was on East Wall Road, driving along and the taxi driver just pulls out into my lane, causing me to swerve around him! There was a Garda traffic car behind me who didn't really seem interested.



    Second one is a young guy in a Fiat Punto (with L plates) failing to stop at a set of lights turning red, he had plenty of time to stop on amber, but just didn't seem interested in stopping.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,064 ✭✭✭gutteruu
