    To be fair, that would be a difficult task for her seeing as though it appears her head is in fact well up her own butt-hole :rolleyes:

    I just felt it was such a stupid comment I didn't entertain it.

    I would never wish that on anyone but as this has already happened it may make him think twice before trying to complete such a stupid maneuver in future.

    Some people just need to learn the hard way

    It was an honest comment.... Not a stupid one. The only stupid thing was how the biker was driving.

    I don't think the OP wished anything bad on the biker, or else you see something I don't. He just pointed out his lack of sympathy for someone who drives carelessly and dangerously. I feel the same, drive like a moron, your day will eventually come when you get caught out and a mistake will happen. I don't wish those drivers will crash or injured themselves, I wish they would cop on and driver safely.

    Ohh spot the biker!

    Maybe he shouldn't have acted the tool and he wouldn't have crashed.

    Ok admittedly it may seem I held my rd, and it's certainly obvious he held his rd..
    I only held my rd because I had read the rd as I approached you, I certainly did NOT expect you to continue holding your rd as I passed(not far from your pedal)yet you had ample space to tip in even 12" to the exit of estate as I passed, but yet you let me pass you at considerable speed bearing in mind I had an oncoming car leaving me with sfa clearance and I still had to contend with you 'holding your rd' and not taking advantage of the HUGE clearance to your left!?






    PS:Please ignore rear view date and time

    Given your rationale behind your actions, I fear that you are far too self righteous to take on board other posters comments on your shockingly poor driving. The guy on the bike was very justified in reacting in the way he did after you had passed him dangerously. How would you feel if someone had driven as recklessly close to one of your loved ones cycling a bike?

    Now this definitely isn't my fault!

    Had the exact same thing happen to me at that junction a few years back, except I was hit side on, while (dare I say it in this current climate) cycling. :o

    The most remarkable thing about that biker/bus video is that the woman who got out her phone was using it to phone someone useful rather than start taking useless videos for later!

    She had a fierce affiliation with the solid white line of the bus lane though.

    That is just frightening.
    I wonder did she have any idea?
    Probably thought the beep was for someone else!
    I'd love to know was she on her handsfree at the time or just totally distracted by something else.

    Well done for being alert to brake when you did.
    It's clips like this that I drive with the assumption that every driver will risk that turn / every pedestrian will cross in front etc...
    You just have to be clued in 100%.

    Day in day out I see cars jumping red lights,. But this could've been a bad one!?

    Unless I'm missing something, it looks like you broke a red light as well! Why did you wait for the light to turn red before turning?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,964 ✭✭✭✭GBX


    Go on green no .. ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,590 ✭✭✭tossy


    Are you not also in the wrong lane for turning right ?


  • Posts: 31,118 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    That was a very short green, did you stop close enough to the line for the sensor to pick you up, that other car obviously didn't expect such a short green.

    Change of plan,. I was originally going to Lidl but then decided I'd go to Aldi..:D
    Thank God.

    Surely for their own safety, the cars turning right should have seen the car coming up behind them at speed and just pulled into the right hand lane as the car passed it? :rolleyes:

    Runaway diesel today. Which one was it?

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,163 ✭✭✭ZENER

    Right hand side of the screen, car or truck is in the wrong lane for their exit.

    Cars and trucks both in wrong lanes. I use that exit everyday coming off the M1 to go to Malahide road. I always queue in the left lane to go left. But theres always those who wont queue and go up the right hand lane to turn left, but the right hand lane is straight/right turn only.

    Everytime that happens I wonder who would be at fault if someone in the left lane goes straight and crashed into someone turning left from the right hand lane.

    The inductive loop at those lights is well back from the road/line markings.

    Yep, that's a dangerous turn alright. Going up the right hand lane now, I think the lines on the road do direct you to the exit to Malahide as well. I might be wrong on that.

    I really hate that junction as you should only be turning left there. If you are going back on to the M1 or to the M50, you have done something wrong to be there.

    Especially annoying when you are approaching from the N32 side. (Not sure what the road is called now). The traffic lights go red and there should be no traffic coming from the right. Emphasis on the "should" there.

    Think the lines are only there to seperate the 2 lanes for traffic coming from M50 onto Malahide exit.
    It would be fine if they designated the right hand lane for left turn also, but as it is now is an accident waiting to happen.
