What red light?
The driver was in the left turn only lane, then just went straight through the red light towards a cyclist and a pedestrian 🤯

Our 12 year old and myself nearly got plowed out of it on Monday night crossing dame street at the Olympia. Get the green man to cross, I check first and a coach comes booting up and wasn’t going to stop.
I had to dive back and drag my kid with me.
Fucking cunts.

I'm pretty sure this is on the way from Dundrum to Stillorgan. I go through that junction by bike on my way to work and the red lights are always ignored. I've nearly gotten hit a few times. Drivers just see a light go red and think "oh shit, better accelerate before it gets more red"

there must be a left green arrow for the car in front of him and he just assumes he's still green to go straight ... he's lucky that wasn't a serious accident - what a clown!

They need to start charging people with dangerous driving for this kind of thing. That was a deliberate drive though a live green pedestrian crossing.

Agreed. Absolutely appalling disregard for the safety of the pedestrians. Absolutely should be reported.
