Motor tax funds, the government. Who builds autobahns in Germany? The UK? Maybe motor tax money should be used to maintain the roads instead

The problem there is the U.K. (242,495 km2) is about 3.4 times bigger than the Republic of Ireland (70,273 km2), yet its population (65million) is almost 14 times more than us (4.7million). So you can imagine the ratio of tax intake to area is a lot larger.

The same for Germany (357,168 km2) is 5 times larger in area than Ireland, but it's population (82million) is 17 times more than Ireland, so again, an even higher ratio of tax intake per land area.

This thread need to be a "no-chat thread". We now have a poster bringing Irish water into it and claiming every manager is on 500k a year (not sure if it's Irish Water managers only or every manager in Ireland).

Obviously not every manager, why you have to act dumb? Just the gravy train brigade.

Nor do we.

But Germans do pay a vehicle tax, similar to our motor tax system.

Compare their tax rates to ours

Come back to me when you do and do the calculation and tell me by how many % we pay more for motor tax?

But how can I compare the 2 if Germans don't pay it at all?

They also pay additional tax on fuel, which is a better system than our own.

Compare their equilavent version or the closest thing to it.

Agree

6 mins in the driver almost knocks down someone on a pedestrian crossing yet calls him a “bellend”.

Scotland drivers are awful fir indicating and roundabouts though.

Cyclists are supposed to dismount and walk across a pedestrian crossing (Rule 79 UK Highway Code "Do not ride across equestrian crossings, as they are for horse riders only. Do not ride across a pelican, puffin or zebra crossing. Dismount and wheel your cycle across.").

He has a bit of an attitude about him allright, even to the point of stopping sharply on the amber light, when most motorists know that they can safely be through before the red.

You were in the wrong lane and then shot across¿¿ If there is a build up of traffic like that on a roundabout slow down and be careful.

I understand it doesn't take away the Dacia been partial at fault but they may well have seen you in lane 1 and car in lane 2 not close enough yet.

n1ck, can I ask... why did you have to "beat" the silver car? Why couldn't you have held the lane you were in, and taken your turn to get on to the roundabout?

I see that happen so many times along that stretch every evening (walk the dog along that route) - all just to race to a red light ahead, and you WILL get stopped at the turn signal.

It's so fustrating.


Report it.

He would have saw you in the left lane, the silver car in the right. Ahead of you were stopped traffic to let the cars through so normally he would have been in the clear. The issue arose because you put the boot down switching lanes in the process, bad idea with stopped traffic on a roundabout.

And for those already thinking about posting "no wonder nobody posts vids anymore, it's always the posters fault according to some people", go and ****e, the OP at least admitted to some of the blame.

Most of the stuff posted here isn't note worthy and is mostly posted by do-gooders accelerating into roundabouts to cut someone off to feel speciala bout themselves but this needs to be reported - what a tool.

n1ck

Well aware of the fact I was going a bit quick, I admitted I was partly at fault. People talking like they've never done anything wrong on the road.

He could just about seem me from his original position and doubt he could see the car to my right that I was looking to overtake. He definitely couldn't have seen someone coming around the roundabout from under the m50 either though and generally they'd be going at a quicker pace than I was.

Because I was being impatient, clearly. I admitted I was partly at fault already - i'm not excusing what I did but use your intuition rather than asking a question from your high horse.
