    This car originally went from the left lane straight to the far right lane right behind me at and was driving at speed swapping lanes.
    I caught up with him here.

    I've heard this was a thing to avoid the toll?

    Yes but they fitted rear facing cameras to catch exactly the likes of him.

    Dangerous thing to do for the sake of a few euro but why then move away, think he was going for crash for cash but not happening
    Seriously think about reporting it to the garda, number plate nice and clear

    I would be stunned if the gardai could be arsed doing anything about that. Call them and expect the usual "you know you will have to go to court".

    Can they not enter it on pulse as a report then if something happens involving the car it flags that up - dunno how the pulse system works but thought it kinda worked like that. Not that they log a charge for dangerous driving this time round.

    Pat I'd say you could definitely reposition your camera better.

    the top 60% of your screen is just the sky, the lower 40% is on the road (where all the action happens), and even at that, some of it is blocked with the rear view mirror mount as well as another suction mount.

    Too much sky on screen on a bright day tends to darken the rest of the image, although in fairness the Yi does a good job of balancing the light.

    100% agree. It will mean it shows more of the inside of the car, but it will give a better image for what matters, especially when facing the sun.

    It appears to me that the road has a wide median with no barriers, it looks like the car lost control on the opposite carriageway and crossed over.

    Queues off the motorway are lethal anyway. It's far too easy to both get locked out by morons going bumper to bumper, or end up going into the back of someone who swung into the gap at the tail of the queue to avoid having to deal with the morons going bumper to bumper.

    I'm looking at it on the phone but he is very straight and looks to be booting it along, quite possible lost bearings. 1st car clips and Carnage after that.

    I would guess some deaths....

    There does indeed look like there is a kerb of some type of at least a good few inches on the other side but the car itself was on the wrong side only seconds into the video so impossible to say when he happened to be on the wrong side

    Potato-quality dashcam from the famous Bargain Alerts thread, but this morning made me decide to get a better quality one. Fairly woke me up!

    Mix of dash cam and body cams from Dutch police in pursuit of a stolen van.
    Ended up in Germany in the end.

    Had a right laugh between minute 2 and 3. Was so obvious what was going to happen....
