    Did anybody just catch the 6 O'Clock News. Did you see that fecking idiot in the red car overtaking all the other cars on a continous white line in the extreme weather conditions report. I hope to feck that idiot gets pulled over after the guards see the news report.

    It was unreal! I thought he/she was intending to make a right turn. Wasn't it a VW Jetta?

    It's not speeding, therefore the safety boffins and Gay Byrne will that this kind of behaviour is perfectly all right:rolleyes:!

    If we all slow down, that's all we need to do, sure there's nothing wrong with acting the lunatic as long as you don't speed:rolleyes:!

    They should pass that clip to the Garda.

    They would easily get a reg from the hi-def footage.

    I don't think it is a coincidence that this footage was used in the news item. There was probably a lot more footage filmed today. I think some people in RTE have the same ideas as us and have intentionally put this out there to give the Guards no choice but to act on it.

    Is there any way a member of the public could make a complaint to the Gardaí about this guy? RTÉ have the location and time. Surely they would have to action the complaint?

    What he needs:
    1) Get Book
    2) Throw it him hard (at his / her head preferably)

    On any long journey I always meet one knob who thinks their time is worth more then the other road users lives.

    We should all have paint ball guns strapped to our cars to "mark" cars that are dangerous. Sure i'd have to swerve to get a good lock on, but it would be worth it. ;)

    He's probably in the pub now boasting to all his mates that he showed those other muppets how to drive in the snow!

    (I think the clip was recorded in Claregalway).

    I have Noel Brett's (CEO of the Road Safety Authority) secretarys email address from a previous encounter. I sent her an email with a link to the news clip, so hopefully this will get to the top on Monday.
