The two most dangerous road users: Prius drivers and helmet cam cyclists

#1 · 31-05-2017 10:38AM #1

The two most dangerous road users on Irish roads at the moment are: Prius drivers and helmet cam cyclists.

The Prius drivers believe that just because they drive a battery-powered "eco-friendly" car they are absolved from any motoring misdemeanors and can do what they like on the road.

Meanwhile, cyclists who have a silly little camera mounted on their helmets think that they have license to zip in and out of urban traffic at speed. I mean do they want to have an accident or something?

People who generalise are far more dangerous.

There are genuine people and knob heads in every catagory of person.

RayM · 31-05-2017 10:44AM

The most dangerous drivers I see on the roads are usually driving Audis.

dangerously shite attempt at trolling

angryIreGamer · 31-05-2017 11:48AM

thread is daft. The single most dangerous road user is humans - doesnt matter if your in a car, on a motorbike, on a bike, skateboard, walking.

We are all to blame. Take some personal responsibility

Shenshen · 31-05-2017 12:05PM

Well, if Prius drivers are so dangerous because battery I must be an outright menace in my Zoe...

Oh look, a cyclist bashing thread...again...how exciting...

Can we have these threads banned from After Hours, it only turns into one thing, a car crash crapfest with each faction pedalling their agenda and painting the other as the enemy in an ad nauseam "Them vs. Us" tyreade.

Indeed thus. Quite the microcosm of the human condition. :pac:

Prius is not just battery powered. It has a petrol engine that does most of the work. Maybe we should change the word "dangerous" in the thread title to "ignorant" and then you have a better chance of winning than any Prius driver of cyclist?

And car, but the cyclist must not have seen it in their rush to be outraged.

BTW it's neither a car or cyclist bashing thread. It's a smug bashing thread.

Did you know that potholes were named after the Cambodian tyrant - Pol Pot?

Either did I until I made it up.

No, but it's where illegal Pot as in drugs came from.

TIL.

I may also have made that up.

You wouldn't happen to have any evidence (non anecdotal) to back up your claims, would you?

In Dublin recently; shocked at how many Prius cars are used as Taxis

Nissan Micra drivers, closely followed by Yaris drivers, are the work of the devil on the roads.

Ishmael · 31-05-2017 01:31PM

Correction:

The worst road users are people who have little or no respect for others on the road. It isn't limited by the class or model of vehicle they use. The only limiting factor seems to be that they are ****! :pac:

To be clear, one side is responsible for the car crashes, and the other side is much better at the pedalling bit.....

I'm a Prius driver. I'm about as dangerous as any other driver on the road.

I can't wait for the day when diesel drivers get shafted for car tax and VRT.

It's coming very soon. Bend over and take it.

You think I'm smug now? Wait till I buy an electric car. You'll be able to roast marshmallows on my smugness then.

As long as they are paying road tax and they stay out of the fast lane, sure, i don't care!

Saw 5/6 absolutely shocking driving maneuvers in the past few days, the common denominator was Audis.

Leaf drivers are the most dangerous motorway drivers with their 90-100 kmph conserve batteries toddling along style.

Instant dislike for helmet Cam cyclists. Just incase the chance arises, they've got it recorded

StinkyMunkey · 31-05-2017 08:11PM

I cycle, drive a car and a motorbike. I find the most annoying twats on the road are numpties who obviously go out of their way to be offended, people with no manners and militant cyclist/bikers/drivers.

I obey the rules of the road no matter my mode of transport, anyone who doesn't is a total tard. And yes I've made mistakes.

The whole point of motorways is that you can overtake. If the said Leaf driver is sitting in the fast lane doing less than the speed limit then they are numpty drivers, which is nothing to do with the kind of car they are driving.
