    Wow, that's the worse bit of downright dangerous driving I've seen in a while.





    Might be worth going via traffic watch. I imagine each station has a garda assigned to looking after this stuff that comes through traffic watch, you could be taking your chances with whoever you deal with at the public desk at the station. I guess it'll be either Tallaght or Rathfarnham station dealing with that area?

    Incident reported to Traffic Watch!

    They'll contact the local Garda station.

    Driving ban, and also needs his/her PSV licence revoked indefinitely.

    Behaviour from some taxis out there is unbelievable. And the Gardai are the ones granting them PSV licences!

    Am I just unlucky or does anyone else find most drivers give too little passing distance? (IE, less than 150 cm)
    Is everyone else just more thick skinned.

    More thick skinned, I am just happy enough when I can't touch them, as they pass by. That is learned though and not acceptable. This said I have driven this week and the behaviour by some seems to be not specifically against cyclists. I have cars drifting across lanes on the M50 and N11, switching lanes as you are in the lane beside them. Red light running, well as a co worer said to me as i left, be careful driving today, red lights apparently mean nothing anymore. They were right. If car drivers don't notice other car drivers running lights, there is something wrong with their observation skills.

    Usual pinch at a small roundabout,
    Thought I was in luck , when I saw the 3rd Vehicle, but it was not to be.

    Ignore the VIRB - I just use it for editing - easier than the apple video editing, and the date.

    That's why I head out and take the whole lane at those roundabouts.

    They didn't even stop pulling in on top of you once you shouted at them! That's bad.

    Brutal lack of observation from the driver there.

    If I was in the same position as yourself, I'd have moved out in advance of the cross hatching to take the lane. The driver is probably only looking to their right to see if they have to yield, and when you're on their right it's easy (but wrong) for them to ignore you. Not so much if you're in front of them.

    And the guard?

    I wouldn't entirely blame the driver for that. The road markings clearly indicate solid white stripes so there should not be any vehicles (or bikes) crossing them. It's a failure in the temporary design. If it was me I would go into the car lane before the white stripes for my own safety.

    I reported bring clipped two days ago to traffic watch.

    What's the difference between calling traffic watch and just popping into your local Garda station?

    When should I call back again if I don't hear back?

    It took over 3 months for me to hear from the local station before :mad:

    AFAIK once TW log it in Pulse, it gets assigned to the local station then the Super will assign it to a Garda who'll contact you directly.
    It can happen pretty quickly or it can take a long time as per above...

    Had a close one with a junkie looking dude on North King Street.
    He stepped out onto the road, then started looking left and right. I assumed he had clocked me, but after looking left, then right, then left again, he just started running. I'd left enough room based on him possibly walking out. Almost ran straight into me.

    had a chap in a black BMW close pass me at speed on the malahide road, blaring his horn at me because i was in the bus lane and not the cycle lane. funny thing was, it was before 7pm, so he was not allowed in the bus lane.

    Did you report it?

    I made a report recently where a driver made contact with my handlebars he was driving at about 30 km/h through traffic.

    In hindsight I was probably being petty and shouldn't be wasting time over that

    For more serious ones, I wish you could receive the pulse ID there and then over the phone when you make a report and you could check the status of it online so you're not left hanging.

    First day back to the office and I've had the worst overtake since I started cycling again this year. Not particularly bad, just very impatient and indecisive.

    Not sure what to make of that tbh - the cyclist went for a bit of a dangerous overtake themselves. In this case I can see where the Lorry driver/ Gardai are coming from..

    Edit - first camera looks worse, second you can see more clearly. Neither road user comes off well.

    I didn't see anything wrong with the cyclist's overtake. He checked behind, before overtaking and was back in his lane well before the lorry arrived.

    I agree. No way would I overtake after seeing a truck that close behind me. Not worth the risk.

    I dont see it as a punishment pass - the HGV stays in line with he centre line - the verge/Kerb moves in - making it a bit of a pinch point.

    I wouldn't overtake the cyclist there, not that close to a HGV that's about to pass, (and I wouldn't pass the other cyclist that close either). Yes the cyclist looked behind, but then moved into the path of a lorry (at 80 on that stretch?) as he is about to hit the end of cycle lane/ pinch.

    HGV was irresponsible blaring the horn. That winds people up at best / startles them at worse.

    Like I say - neither come off too well in that clip and there are far worse incidents to get outraged over.

    Exactly - as a vulnerable road user - you need a bit more cop on. The reality is, the lorry may have shown all that exemplary anticipation that you outlined, but was probably was not going to.

    It sounds like I am 'victim blaming' here - but to cry outrage without taking the smallest amount of responsibility is also wrong.

    Distance from the rider is shocking but also what you can't see from a video is the draft you can get off a truck passing you and possibly cause you to wobble.

    She saw you for sure because of the hesitation shown in turning in. She's 100% in the wrong there but my self-preservation instinct would not have allowed me to proceed there.

    Jeez. Traffic Watch for that IMO. Basic enough knowledge of the rules of the road, and just common sense, would tell her to wait for you to pass. She approached you from behind so clearly saw you. Unless her eyes were focused on a screen or something...

    Not getting on a high horse but I am surprised anyone would give the truck a pass he should have the law thrown at him. If you are in charge of a truck you are the largest and most dangerous road user. The onus should be 100% on you to keep others safe but unfortunately in Ireland we avoisd this and you can see it even running through the DNA of this "hardcore cyclist forum". It doesn't matter what the cyclist did, it doesn't matter if it was not ideal, what is important is that the truck driver should be held to account for what he did and banned. He was driving aggressively and carried out a dangerous and close pass well within 1 meter, that blaring of the horn combined with the close pass could easily have killed an inexperienced cyclist that misjudged the overtake of another bike.

    Safety is the onus of all of us - whether or not you subscribe to the concept of a "hardcore cyclist". By pointing out the cyclist could have done better wouldn't detract from any infraction from the HGV driver.

    The HGV driver should have slowed down, and certainly not had a go on the horn (but that's the Irish way these days..). Slowed down because he just seen someone pull out into his path and an obviously dodgy bit of road.

    I don't believe they performed a punishment pass, and basically continued on his/her intended course (but at the regular speed unfortunately).

    Sh!t that's a close call alright - went over the handlebars once with that carry on (before cameras!). Definitely a report there - need to have a word with that driver!


    Also - probably didn't see you because of the massive air/freshner/ WTF thing hanging from the rear view mirror - how can anyone see round that!

    would never have assumed the driver has seen me or will let me pass until i either get eye contact with the driver (difficult here) or see that the car stopped long enough so that it's waiting for me to pass. I would have braked earlier. Safety before being right. The cyclist is always the loser when it gets to damage time. Road conditions are horrible. look at all the water draining too slow into the metal drains. Those drains stick out way too much anyway. Anyway glad nobody got injured.

    ye fair enough - I meant it in terms of actively moving toward the cyclist - such as many examples we see here.


    As I say - I don't think either of them done well in this situation. HGV should have at least slowed in anticipation of something going wrong. Cyclist shouldn't have attempted an overtake that would put them in danger. Both should have shown better skills when approaching the pinch point (Which they may or may not have been able to see.. as it looks a really sh!te bit of road).

    EDIT - looking at it on google maps - it really is a crappy bit of road - how is anyone supposed to navigate that safely on a bike..

    Sorry, but how does it not matter what the cyclist did? Sure the truck driver was in the wrong, but does that automatically give the cyclist a free pass?

    How is that not a punishment pass? Sounds the horn so clearly sees the cyclist ahead, but continues on their intended course - i.e. doesn't move out to perform a safe overtake - as punishment for the cyclist's presence. That's textbook punishment pass to me.

    Its also the speed, no mitigation for the cyclist whatsoever. He could have easily taken his foot off the gas when he seen the cyclist overtaking (which was started when the truck was very far back), and completed just before the truck got there. That is good driving, that is risk mitigation. Also seeing two cyclists, hang out a bit anyway, it's a dual carriageway and easily done considering the traffic levels at the time. Also, despite the road closing a bit, you can see really clearly that he merges in a bit, not turns, but merges. It was the definition of a punishment pass. It actually looks like he speeds up to make the pass and slow a bit as he merges.

    "I would ask you or your friend to remove this from your social media circle immediately"

    He took someones word over a video of the incident? Clown.

    I would have replied back that if he wanted it taken down he should call the Gardaí :pac:

    Only part of your post that was relevant to my question! I would not see that as sufficient time. If that was me driving along and saw that cyclist overtake like that, I would have to put on my brakes as the truck driver should have done. If you're causing vehicles to brake you shouldn't be overtaking.

    Yes, all drivers should allow sufficient space in the event that a cyclist has to swerve, but this was an unnecessary movement and he should have waited a few more seconds to overtake for his own safety.

    First time in over 25 years cycling on the old airport road after someone knocked me down. Within the space of ten minutes, I had a van driver close pass me at traffic lights (MGIF @ jcn with Collins Ave) only to stop at the next set of lights on the exit towards Santry. He then threatened to knock me down next time because "youse cyclists think you're God when you put all that gear on". :rolleyes:
    Then I met this dozy cow who seemed completely oblivious to what I was talking about when I approached her about this left hook (bear in mind that I had a luminous green bag on my back, two bright flashing rear lights (and a front flashing light) and a feckin bright orange bike - not sure how I can become more obvious to a driver)...

    While watching them build that apple green knew it would turn into a problem, had a few instances just like yours.
    On a slightly more positive note there is a very nice spacious cafe in the petrol station that opens early till late, a good spot to wait out bad weather...or steady your nerves after a close call:)

    So does that mean you drive even closer to them?

    I often overtake cyclists that aren't in full control, and make sure to give them a wider berth than ones that are in control.

    One or two of the comments make good points about what would happen to that guys insurance had the cyclist been injured or worse. I wonder if that was put to him would it soften his cough and have some strong words with the people he has driving vans with his name on them.

    It wouldn't. There is a video, and he still doesn't see it. If thats his response, I imagine he would double down. Which is a shame after a positive initial response. Poor management and backbone at the wrong time, he'd not care and sadly, would probably be right not too waste time in regards insurance and cost.
