    Beeping was a dick move.

    I guess every driver should be equipped with at least 2 extra pair of eyes, looking out for d1ck cyclists appearing out of nowhere. Like there is not enough sh1t going on the roads already.

    Most probably mistaken the lights, but still, I wouldnt risk it to go ahead, when the cars are still going at you.
    From RSA book :
    Traffic Lights
    A red light means “stop”. If the light is red as you approach
    it, you must not go beyond the stop line at the light or,
    if there is no stop line, beyond the light.

    A green light means you may go on if the way is clear. Take
    special care if you intend to turn left or right and give way
    to pedestrians who are crossing.

    Travelling through a small village, stayed at the 50 then 60 then 80km/hr limits out of the village and at all times the 10 DL 520d was literally inches behind my car. Blew my horn as he blew past me than he slammed on just as we hit the 100km/h zone on a bend and brow of a hill. Unfortunatley did not get the reg.

    What an absolute moron! I like to tip along myself. If someone in front of me is doing the speed limit I will never drive on their bumper because the are obeying the rules. If someone is going exceptionally slow it really bugs me, but I never break check them or beep the horn. I will wait for my chance to over take and leave them to it.

    Fair play to you , that was the number kind of in my head allright. Just seen it on cartell. There is not a lot I can do apart from put it up here. I'm sure Garda would not entertain it anyway.

    You could call Traffic Watch on 1890 205 805 - that's what they're there for. I know people who've been talked to about their driving, although I don't know if anything came of it.

    As always, I'm amazed that these drivers are in such a rush when behind, yet magically have the time to slam on their brakes once they get in front.

    Same as the people who pull out in front of you at the last minute in a mad rush and then drive at 45kph.

    No , I drove like a normal person. I live in this village. I had pulled out from a side road onto the 50 km/h road and he was at least 1/2k away and was up behind me in a matter of seconds. I am not trying to be smart but by you asking that question you are trying to justify in some way what he had done?

    Where did I say that? No justification for what he did going by what you say. Some drivers are just knobs, you did nothing wrong and he'll get his dues some day.

    The amount of times I was driving in the Mrs' Ibiza with the L plates up (my L plates) and someone would pull out in front of me when they saw I was a learner, only to then drive slower than I was travelling in the first place.......At least you're not stuck behind a learner, though pal, eh?

    Definitely report it, Carlow Gardai are actually not to bad on following up on dangerous driving reports.

    I called traffic watch, Garda rang me a few days later to set up appointment at the station responsible for that area. Brought them in the video on a USB stick, Gard copied it onto the computer in the station, but I let them keep the stick anyway. Also took a statement on what happened which I signed.
