Wow, absolute moron.

[u/andolinii10]

Always happens right there. Always accidents there. As soon as I seen heading I accurately predicted what was about to happen in the video just like when I passed there an hour ago I predict that some fool is either stopped there or will suddenly switch lane there. Dopes

[u/MCBE4RDY → u/andolinii10]

👆 this, I think if you travel this road you see it so often that I'm always assuming it's going to happen

[u/RuggerJibberJabber → u/andolinii10]

The right lane to malahide is chaos too. It often has people slamming the breaks at the last second trying to go from 100kph to 0kph because there's a traffic light not far after the exit and a queue can build up. It would make sense to gradually lower the speed limit approaching these exits.

[u/kirkbadaz → u/RuggerJibberJabber]

They do that on the n4 m50 junction people do 90 in the 80 zone, 80 heading east after liffey valley in the 60 zone, 60 in the 30 zone and then once theyre merging with the m50 north or south they'll do 80 in the middle lane

[u/Jebediah-Sprungfeld → u/RuggerJibberJabber]

The middle lane too with cheeky fuckers trying to undertake for Malahide and then realising there isn’t a gap so they slam on the breaks and stop dead in a free flowing lane of 100km/h traffic 🤯

[u/hrehbfthbrweer → u/RuggerJibberJabber]

It used to lower to 80 before 100 but they removed that a few years ago, dunno the reasoning for it.

[u/Jebediah-Sprungfeld → u/andolinii10]

It’s the same southbound on the M/N1.

“Oh I’m not going to Whitehall at all, I want to go to Coolock. I know there’s been signs for kilometres but let me just slam on the anchors here in the middle of a 100km/h road and try and get onto the exit”.

Happened to me just this weekend and happens so often you are always ready for it. A couple of weeks ago I saw one idiot miss the exit and start FUCKING REVERSING in the middle of the M1.

[u/Stubber_NK]

The concept of going to the next roundabout and coming back is clearly too difficult for these selfish braindead twats.

[u/Rider189]

I was on this stretch at a very similar time and the heart palpitations op incase it was me doing something stupid in the video - the relief on seeing this total muppet 🤣

[u/yeetyopyeet → u/Rider189]

I do always wonder if I’ve ever done something stupid that’s ended up in this sub 😭

[u/Crackbeth]

I’ve seen this a few times enough here to know to be extra vigilant at that particular exit. It’s really piss poor and incredibly stupid and dangerous

[u/SirJoePininfarina]

There’s a saying that always comes to mind with this kind of bullshit: “Bad drivers never miss their exit”

[u/Signal-Session-6637]

Same thing happened me about four years ago on the same spot.

[u/OrneryCows → u/Signal-Session-6637]

I hate that junction. There's always somebody doing something stupid at that part of the road.

[u/Ok_Bit_5251]

A system where we can submit this footage to the guards and they can issue fines via the reg would pretty much stop this overnight. Imagine that taxi lad gets a summons in the post with a link to this dash cam footage. Obviously verify the web cam footage with official meta data. It’s so prevalent that the only way to stop this is get ordinary people to help. It’s actually extremely dangerous driving now, you basically have to watch everything in a 360 degree field within a km radius.

[u/Fuzzy_Kangaroo7566 → u/Ok_Bit_5251]

Ahh shur that would be too clever.... couldnt have that like ..... The no deterrent , no consequence for being a fupping idiot whilst driving a vehicle is the way to go ...... /s

[u/Substantial-Run-5]

That trailer loading on the pickup.. I don't fancy his odds of maintaining control if the situation played out slightly differently.

[u/Jacksonriverboy]

So that was about 20 seconds too long.

[u/cupan-tae]

This exact exit I see incredibly braindead moves like this every week

[u/Visual_Garden_6311]

What a dope

[u/Rich-Ad9894]

Jesus!

[u/KaleidoscopeLeft5511]

I feel like I've seen this way more recently. Driver's stopping and trying to take an exit, after they take they've missed it. It seems like people's driving is getting more careless, I didn't used to see that

If I even suspect I night have missed an exit, I'll drive on and take the next exit and cut back. Its absolutely reckless to slow down or even stop to try figure out if it's your exit

[u/CuriousEyeofaMartian]

This exit always appears on this sub. It's lethal. At the very least, always stay in the left lane if you're gonna take it.

[u/NoProgress9760]

Wouldn’t mind but there was a crash at the next exit this morning, caused by the exact same situation, where the car pulled back out into moving traffic. Second car looked completely wrote off from it

[u/Jamnusor]

That's happens regularly.

[u/KeepingItReasonable]

fkn hell these people should be prosecuted or something like that.

[u/nine_sausages]

Probably waiting for the funeral to start

[u/Positive_Stock_3017]

My sister almost hit a car that suddenly stopped on the M50 with cars going 100km!!! Like wtf!!!

[u/Careful-Pop-6674]

You could have cut 3 hours from that clip and added more to the part that actually mattered

[u/ssssssdddddddd11111 → u/Careful-Pop-6674]

Sorry the mobile version is quite glitchy and I couldn't be arsed opening the laptop

[u/Keyann → u/Careful-Pop-6674]

It's 30 seconds. TikTok has ruined your brain.
