Some might say those three cars were parked illegally and should have had the Guards called on them...

Or keep a door out for him and give him something to crow about.

Based only on the video in the thread, the guy was correct to call the merc driver on their actions.
As someone who cycles, the amount of dickhead drivers out there that just don't care about or are oblivious to other road users is unreal.
I've had a driver slow down and give out to me for cycling on the road (on the left 1/3 of the lane; not taking up the full lane) and not on the adjacent cycle track (that has plenty of glass on it). He didn't like my response and actually tried to channel me towards the kerb with his car.
Unless you cycle, you don't know how vulnerable you can feel from some motorists!

Special Circumstances

Black 05 730d on dark alloys -yum

Matt black 2nd gen avensis - yuck. Wrap? Plastidip? A barrel of melty plastic left after extracting the copper wire? Who knows. Haven't seen a pimped avensis since the passat became their weapon of choice round here.

Couldn't agree more. Taxis busses and motorist regularly get much to close for comfort.My route isn't to bad for glass but some if the road surface could be better.

@Roland nice find but as I told you on fb it's a V8 it's CL63 AMG not an CL65 AMG... Just see the 6.3 kompressor on the side of it what mean it's 63, exhaust says it's 63 but those wheels.. horrible they from the cheapest AMG package - they in the most of CL500 those days.

Here is how proper exhaust on CL65 AMG look like:

My photo from 2007. Then never saw a CL65 AMG In Ireland again.

btw there was a white Aventador driving in city centre yesterday. Hope to see it next week.

I cycle to work daily in Dublin. While the driver should have been aware of the bike, I still think he took his reaction to far. If I was driving around shouting at everyone else who did something wrong I'd be accused of road rage.

Can we stop talking about cyclists now? I'm sure over in the cycling forum there is a thread called "Here's the motorist that nearly killed me today" go post there

Terrible photo as the "boot" was open and it was on display but it's the new Tesla.

Nah, it was in New York.

I saw quite a few nice cars, Lambos, a few A8s, Ferrari 458s to name a few but they were passing in the street so I couldn't get a picture.

Unsure if this is one I've seen before...

You should never be on the road when there's a cycle lane available. You sure there was any more glass on it than on the road you were blocking?
