    2 mins 55 seconds, the guy accelerated when he saw the Merc entering the roundabout (Sums up about 85% of the videos we see on that channel, folks looking for their youtube hit. Prats.)

    Yup, gave up watching that channel - cammers forcing a near hit for the sake of an upload, they've forgotten any sense of decency towards other road users

    He was holding the child with his left arm, and steering with his right. And I'm pretty sure the right hand brake is for the front wheel, so should be need to stop suddenly, he'll most likely go over the handlebars. The child won't stand a chance :mad:

    Credit where credits due though, he stopped at the red light, therefore he’s probably still safer than a lot of cyclists!!!

    I've seen videos of bikes and cars doing 300kph who have to hammer the brakes what seems like a mile away because someone pulls out. It's almost not worth it unless the road is completely empty. Seems like the Autobahn has the same issue of morons pulling out like Ireland does. It's almost like they do it on purpose.

    Slam the brakes and you're still moving at 150kph or something.

    They should exclude the round about ones. Half the time it's at least partly the dashcammers fault. Either the other car was on the roundabout first or the dashcammer accelerates.

    I've unsubscribed to one of their channels, can't remember which one. Too often they're clicking the save button on their dash cam half way through the 'incident' or they're leaning on the horn and stop accelerating because they can't seem to multitask or they beep because someone else got cut off or something cringey.

    One of the frequent lads in a Merc I think drives like an absolute wanker and has an anger problem. He drives shockingly aggressive, beyond speeding up on roundabouts. If someone veers on a double lane he speeds up to try get around them when it's obvious they're going to cross the lanes. Why would you speed up to something like that?

    Red Cow Interchange, woman walking from the direction of the Luas Park-n-Ride, with no pedestrian-friendly facilities there whatsoever.
    I don't know how the hell she even got this far, as it's the last thing I think drivers would be expecting there - she's walking in the direction of the M50....was thinking she might be following google maps directions on her phone as she was sort of half looking down at it as she was casually strolling along, shopping in hand, head in the phone, suitcase in tow:




    - yes I know I went over the limit there. Guilty, should've been paying more attention no matter what :o wasn't intentional but that's no excuse :o

    It seems common enough on the Autobahn.

    It's kinda like out motorways. The right hand lane is for trucks and people restiricted to 100. The middle is for the majority happy to sit between 120 and 160, the outer lane is for the rest. 180 to infinity.

    I've been overtaking on the outer lane at 180. Look in the mirror and there's no one behind. Look 10 secs later and there's a porche right up my hole doing God knows what.

    Sure I move back to the middle and he rockets on... The difference between us and them.is courtesy and knowing which lane is right for you

    300 at night, on an unlit road that's open to the public?

    I know who I think the moron is.

    Second digit is a 6, if you are doing it. I thought it was a 5 initially.

    Streamable brings down the resolution. The original is crystal clear 4k..

    Tweet them? Or do they have an email? All i can find is a phone number..

    "Live" carjacking via dashcam.

    Kind of long but worth it as long as you can watch with sound.
    Without sound it is boring apart from the end.
