Was it a rentacar I find them the most to commit silly offences with tourists in them.

Dublin Airport roundabout. I see near misses there almost daily. They get their car 100 yards up the road and for a lot of Americans its the first roundabout they've ever encountered.

You can usually spot them leading up to the roundabout. New car, going slow, unsure which lane to be in and often with two passengers in the front arguing, panicking and gesticulating over what to do. They invariably take the outside lane to go right for the M1 & almost collide with those on the inside going straight ahead.

And the petrol or diesel sticker above the filler cap. Give them space and get past asap

... Blanchardstown somewhere.

I think it rather illustrates why you don't attempt to overtake across a junction

Cool, so still leave anyway after having an accident, just cause you have the moral high ground.

The way I see it, you find yourself in the right or the wrong, you worry about that later, deal with the possible life or death situation created. Seriously, what ever you do, don't drive off!

I didn't say that at all. Just pointing out the dangers of proceeding as this guy did.

spoilt by clips submitted by people who think they have priority when approaching a roundabout even when they haven't reached the line
. The Chez78 clip for instance.

That's what you got from that video... You must be very happy

Even though there was a broken line, but bad visibility, rain, and of course, an oncoming traffic and no space to safely finish the manoeuvre, as there were few cars in front.
We were driving not far of the speed limit, pointless.

V8 Interceptor · 20-08-2018 11:06am

Yeah he cut that one a bit fine.

soups05 · 20-08-2018 12:13pm

When i see an overtake like that, am always tempted to stick the indicator just to see the driver sh!t himself. Sadly I know that if I did he would most likely slam on, lose control and wipe out some innocent driver/ped.

So I don't, still....temptation is there.

Speed limit was 100km/h, so he was at..., 150 or thereabouts ? Going really fast anyway, I wasnt first car he overtook as well.

Looked like a yellow reg and they tend to have a loose interpretation of the rules of the road when on the other side of the border!

Why?

If someone wants or is overtaking you just let them

That's Dundrum right? If it's the roundabout I think it is, it has always been woeful for grip, it's sloping down and slick. Which used to be great for going sideways around in the 3er when I was out that way!

Yep, spot on. Combination of speed, damp road and possibly crap tyres.

Nah no chance. I doubt anyone that drives one of them Notes has anything to look at on a phone, if they have a phone at all. They just had no idea they'd joined a two way road after being on a dual lane one way.

Feckers :eek:

Also, another day another idiot walking on the motorway. Idiot Monday!

Before anyone points it out, I'd just overtaken a van hence I'm in the overtaking lane

Yep, have found the same, brutal for grip there for whatever reason. Once it's wet it can be dangerous, as per the video. Combine that with ditch finders and it's brown trousers time.

There are 4 types of rats: regular rats, pigeons, seagulls, AND CYCLISTS!!!!!!!

:cool:

Ok joking aside, the amount of cyclists who actually ignore red lights and other general road rules is fast becoming far too common. FFS I had a whole bunch of cyclists today travelling the wrong way ON A ONE WAY ROAD. Idiots :mad::mad::mad:
