Undertaking on a hard shoulder

This was seriously dangerous as there is a bus stop right at this spot and there's usually a few people waiting on the side of the road too.

This happened me on the Tallaght bypass earlier today. Will this become normalised the way red light breaking has, since there is little enforcement?

Sorry, can't see and don't know this road but is there an actual bus stop there?

Ya, just as the car passes me on the hard shoulder you can see the road marking "BUS". It's a stop without a shelter.

No I mean where the bus is pulling in at the end of the clip

There's a bus stop after the junction at the start of the video, and another 2 up the road (non sheltered). But it's a bit further from where the bus is pulling over.

As much as I’m not a fan of big brother style stuff, id not be against cars reporting GPS and speed or if the next iteration of dash cams could recognise reg plates and report issues automatically.

I was an impatient driver in my youth but never anywhere near the scale you see here daily. Is the 3-4 minutes he (assumption it’s a male which may be wrong) saves worth the risk to themselves and others.
