So, hopefully not as controversial :P
Saw this a couple of weeks ago on my way home
Looks like she tried to pull a u-turn and ended up stuck perpendicular to the road, at night in a black car.:eek:
Was going to see if she needed help but she got the car in gear just as the video ended and went on her way
I am surprised the advert on the radio wasnt for Noyeks Newmans - Kitchen floors decks and doors
"Its almost 7 o'clock..." I hate those ads!!
Sorry for bumping an old video.0 -

I put a video with compilation from Poland few pages back, but now I found links for all individual videos from that compilation - some of them I though were quite interesting.
1. Bus driver strikes a tunnel, and then after reversing he damages traffic lights.
2. Tram is in blind spot of an artic truck.
3. Quite unusual fender-bender
4. Why it's always worth having a good look around before going on green light. Watch from about 0:50

Cinio, do you think it'd be just as safe to drive a 12 year old Corsa at 100mph as it would a new 5 series for example?
Does this question relate to any conversation recently, or is it just completely out of the blue???
Whatever...
IMO assuming the same road conditions, the same place, and the same driver with the same level of concentration, tiredness, etc, it will surely be safer in 5 series, just because it has better handling abilities, better braking, etc, and better crush zones and safety features in case accident happens.
On the other hand, safe speed will be different for everyone in every car and place.
It depends on circumstances, like type of car, driver and his abilities, skills, concentration, tiredness, road conditions, traffic amount, visibility, and million other factors.
It's very possible, that certain driver in certain road conditions will be perfectly safe in 12 year old corsa at 100mph, while for other driver, doing 40mph in new 5 series will be a big hazard.
It's all very relative.
PS - my dad had 00 Corsa 1.0 (14 year old) and fastest I managed to do with it was 155km/h (according to speedo so in reality if was even less). Not that easy to find a corsa which will do 100mph.0 -

Some craic if I appeared in a video on here, made a show of myself earlier when a car let me out of a side road, I waved, give it a little too much welly on the muddy road, arse spun out leaving me pointing at the kerb, then massive over correction the other way, then correcting the other direction, before wobbling up the road. Smoooooth!

No bother.Sorry CiniO, I've never gotten the hang of breaking up quotes like you can. You'll just have to pick your way through.
Just in the beginnin in relation to your all replay - you still seem to ignore the most important fact here - the video is from Poland and Polish traffic law applies. You seem to judge the situation by Irish traffic law, which just doesn't make sense.
No contradiction at all. I said in most cases wider road with greater traffic is major road, but it's not something you can assume automatically. It's the road signs which dictate it and you have to look at them. But that's not relevant to the video.Bit of a contradiction there, is there not?
How can traffic lights cancel relevancy? Very simple - because they do. That are the rules. As I pointed above - this is in Poland and Polish law applies, and this law (which I quoted to you earlier) says clearly that traffic lights cancel priority on junctions set by road signs. You have to understand that's really the case.How is this irrelevant? How can traffic lights cancel relevancy?
Same as above - no such clause as "if it's safe to do so" in Polish law in relation to green light. You can not drive through green light if there's no space to continue, and generally you have to be extra careful when driving through the junction, but no such clause in traffic law as " go if it's safe to do so".GO - provided it is safe to do so. The same applies to the stop light as well.
You are again mixing Irish law with Polish law.
Nice oneOn this we agree.
Exactly as you say. If there wasn't any road signs, traffic on the wider road would have to give way to traffic from the small road coming from the right. That's because of the rule I mentioned above of giving way of traffic coming from the right on the junctions. If that was the case, none of these roads would be major or minor. They would just be both of equal importance.By your definition, if a minor road was joining a major road on it's right (as in that clip), the traffic on the major road has to give way? There was a yield sign on the minor road that conflicts with that rule.
But exactly as you say - as we can see there are road signs (which have higher priority than general rules) so traffic from minor road has to give way to traffic on main road. Those signs cancel general rule of giving way to vehicles coming from the rights.
And again, as there are traffic lights, they go further, and cancel road signs, so there is no major and minor road anymore. There is just road with red and green signal where car on road with green signal are allowed to go, and the ones with red aren't.
Are you serious?The Clio running the red light did not cause the accident,
it's the cam-car pulling out (because he had absolute right of way) in front of the Clio.
If this was in Ireland, and there wasn't any road signs setting priority on junctions (as there isn't any in Ireland on traffic lights controlled junctions), and two cars collided as one run on red light and other on green, would you really say it wasn't fault of the one who run on red?
Are you saying it would be fault of driver who run on green?
Because that's exactly what you are saying above.
Agree.The accident wouldn't have happened I f(a) the Clio had stopped, or (b) if the cam-car driver had checked before proceeding.
Agree.Many a driver has been killed or injured because of the ''It's my right of way so everyone else back off'' attitude.
Back to the beginning - it isn't.Different angle, but still a minor road joining a major road.
If junction is controlled by traffic lights, there isn't such thing as major and minor roads on it.
That seem to be a thing which you can't really understand and I think that's what causing all your confusion.
To describe the situation from beginning. There was a junction controlled by traffic lights. Clio was on red, but ignored it and drove through.
Cam-car was on green, and went through without looking, probably because angle was bit tricky and it would be hard to see if someone isn't breaking red light. Unfortunately clio did, and that's why accident happend. There's nothing more to it.
100% fault of clio, and we are not just guessing, as author of the video said it in a comment what was Police's verdict on fault in this accident.0 -

There's no any conflicting traffic laws over there. I already explained how it works. Nothing conflicting about it.Having never driven in Poland, and judging by some of the conflicting traffic laws over there, I hope I never do -
And just to warn you, it's not only Poland but AFAIK most of continent that has such rules.
Generally traffic rules over continent are fairly unified, and very similar in all the countries.
And that's what you are doing, but that's wrong.I can only look at it from the Irish/UK traffic law angle.
You can't look at situation in other country with different law from point of view of other country and it's laws.
One only as I said several times.Two 'offences' were committed.
That's correct.The first was the Clio breaking a red light;
This wasn't an offence as it wasn't any "side road" as you call it.the second was the cam-car pulling out from a side road into the path of on-coming traffic.
It was a junction of two roads, where traffic on one had green light while traffic on other had red light. That's all it was.
Jeyses.The accident only happened when the cam-car driver pulled out without looking, as the Clio had already gone through the lights (albeit on red) without incident, and the point of impact was well beyond the lights.
Impact was in the middle of the junction between those two roads. Do you really think that if you cross red light, and accident doesn't happen by the signal, but in the middle of the junction instead, then you are in clear?
It might be wrong verdict from your angle of looking, but as I said above - you are looking from wrong angle. You are looking from traffic law you know which apply in Ireland, while you should look from angle of Polish laws which apply in Poland.''we are not just guessing, as author of the video said it in a comment what was Police's verdict on fault in this accident'' - Well, if that's what the Polish police's verdict, so be it.
But from my angle of looking at it, it was the wrong verdict.
Now again question to you, similar as last time, but you didn't really answer it clearly.
Assume there is a junction like that in Ireland. Wide road with few lanes, and little side road joining the main road. No road signs, and this is controlled by traffic lights. Assume there is a car A going on the wide road, and fails to stop on red light, but plunged through the junction on red light.
At the same time, there's another car B waiting from the side road, and when green light comes on for him, he moves ahead. Somehow he doesn't notice car A breaking a red light, and this ends up in collision.
All this in Ireland.
Whole fault will this be?
A) Car A driver?
Car B driver?
C) Both?
Please answer clearly if you don't mind - just option A, B or C.0 -
