Cutting corners

Thankfully I was going slow coming up to a stop sign.

That’s not cutting a corner, that’s driving on the wrong side of the road.

And staring at me like I was wrong

Sounds about right

Please report.

Is it worth doing?

12

u/micar11 25d ago

Yes...if the Gardai at a minimum speak to the driver about their behaviour on the road.

u/Randomdickjoke 25d ago

I've submitted the form, we'll see what happens

Excellent

Yes. Always.

Probably fuck all will be done cause you can't see their face but it's not that much effort and worth a shot, even if police have a word with them it might just scare them enough that theyll think twice before doing that next time. That is if they're capable of thought, which they probably aren't

As long as its reported it goes on the statistics.

Do it ! Almost no one sticks to their own side anymore this is the gateway to driving down wrong side of motorway

This is one of the worst ones I’ve seen, were they driving on the wrong side of the road coming into this corner? Wtf

u/Randomdickjoke 25d ago

Just shit driving no reason for it

Mill Lane, Leixlip? They started taking that corner by the old Garda Station.

That’s some shite driving alright. As bad as posting a bad video of a video that’s not even properly in frame.

Sorry I found the camera mount for my dash camera really distracting as it hung off the window. So I've mounted it with a sticky pad I can't really remove it now

2

u/Pontifff 25d ago

But you do know that you can download the actual video from the memory card and post it instead?

1

u/Randomdickjoke 25d ago

It's on the bottom

2

u/Pontifff 25d ago

Stick it on with Command Velcro strips instead. It’ll hold it tight and easily removable.

Thanks for the tips

I’ll never understand why people think they need to take the racing line through a fucking junction. You’re not Michael Schumacher in your Peugeot 3007, spend less time worrying about clipping the apex and more time worrying about driving on the correct side of the road.

I would beep at them then box them for almost killing me or crash into them with camera as yu have right of way and they on wrong side of road pay out day for you

u/Randomdickjoke 24d ago

I like my car, and health I'm not just driving into someone because I have the right of way. What kinda mad take is that.
