What's worst is that it would be quicker for them to go ahead being the only car crossing at the time... Happened to me all the time and never understand how they come up with this...

The OP was on a road where the silver Peugeot is not allowed to turn right. So in order to make the illegal right turn, the silver car must have thought it'd make more sense to let the OP through first, so he has the road to himself to make the awkward right turn.


I'm presuming, through all of this, he never at any time seen the other car on the road at all.


I often see accidents down there and wonder how there can be so many... then I see videos like this.. What completely odd behaviour altogether.

all they did wrong was not to use their mirrors when they came to make a turn that I'm not so sure is illegal. They confused the situation by flashing the OP , who sensibly stayed where he was, but then they made the turn without checking it was safe to do so. The road isn't designed to turn there, but I don't see it was prohibited to do so.

that's a ****e junction and very confusing for people new to it never mind experienced drivers.
i had a smash there before. Young lady coming from the direction you ere coming drove straight out in front of me.
Anyway that was an epic idiot move from that driver.

They never indicated they wanted to turn - no indicators on, and they were on the outside of the turn..

so anyone behind them rightly thought they are not going to make any sort of turn due to their atrocious road positioning. before their stupid maneuver there was enough room for a car to pass.

Quite right too, I wasn't inferring they were in the right, they most definitely were not. Had they used their mirror they wouldn't have made the move.

The road design in itself kinda tells you not to turn there. It's also omitted from the signage on the road leading to it, which would lead me to believe it's not a turn that should be made from that lane (Albeit, the left turn, which is allowed and generally accepted, is also missing from that sign).

That said, you seem to be right. There is no sign that actually says 'no right turn', so it may well be legal to do it. I shall feel less consicous of Gardai making that turn going forward. :pac:


EDIT:

Never mind, it's illegal.

looks like the "no U Turn" sign was there in 2014, but is not there now.
Pause video at 20 seconds (ish) & there is no sign visible on the traffic island. (& not there in the most recent (2017) google street view).

Still a stupid move for them to make!

Ah, but there's only a hole in 2017!.....

Another one of the do gooder brigade that has the right of way yet stops to let the one car out to feel good about themselves.

Because no one behind them matters it seems, they only see what's in front

I see this arseholery the whole time and it's getting more commonplace; one just has to be as alert as they can

Fair play to them

Sometimes ordinary people have to do the right thing and taking that car out any way possible would most likely save a life.

Well done to them.

No, a truck hit it and it was never replaced. Which I suppose makes it a legal turn again..?


Probably should put it back though in fairness.

If the sign is not there and there is no road marking to say otherwise then technically its a legal turn.

Fair enough the locals know but if I showed up in the morning how am I to know?

I agree. And with Drogheda having the Fleadh in a month, and as a result lots of people unfamiliar with the roads, i can predict that junction becoming a tad messy alright.

Very smoothly done. I'm wondering how they coordinated it.

Possible radio such as cb or just seen what the other was doing and thought the same.

Not drunk or under the influence of drugs but suffering from a "personal drama" whatever the hell that might have been.
