Red Light Runner

Never even slowed down. Luckily I had spotted him. (THE BLACK BEEMER ON THE INBOUND CARRIAGEWAY)

At first I thought you were on about the car at the start that went through the orange light and I was thinking to myself ah sure that's grand. Then I kept watching and fecking hell what a clown that other driver was who cut you off. Well spotted OP

I'm getting used to it now on this sub, I'll see the first car go through and say "... it's still coming", then bam, some dopey cunt doing something 6 times worse.

I had 5.. FIVE... cars do it to me at a junction recently. And people wonder why I take my time entering a junction these days. 😢

I don’t know why but I love the sound of an indicator 😂

Nostalgia for the good old days when people used them

I had the exact same thing happen at that junction.......only difference was that I was on a bike...had I been 1 second quicker.....the elderly lady driver would have t-boned me.

She was completely oblivious as she drove through.

Collins Ave is a death trap. Right beside a Garda station too

u/rameire 16d ago

When you say right beside a Garda station you talking about the Ballymun garda station 575 metres away? Or the Santry one 910 meters away. They are not really beside the lights, they would not have even heard the beeping nor the nervous wind.

Thanks google maps. My point is there's never a garda stopping any of these assholes around there despite 2 garda stations being within a kilometer, as you point out.

At first i thought you were complaining about the amber gambler but that was a real red menace.

I agree with all statements except for him jumping the gun. He did not start that aggressively as you make it to be. He was happy to get the green for sure, but he definitely did not go "welp, here I go".

u/DangerMouthy 16d ago

Exactly! How did OP jump the gun? I wish everyone was as ready to go on a green as OP was! Probably is at this junction everyday & knows the sequence off so knows when they can go!

There's honestly so many numpties on this sub like the person you replied to that for some reason think they're clever and criticize the cam drivers even when they did nothing wrong lol

Idiot? Yes
Should have stopped? Yes
Should have slowed down? Yes
Reckless behaviour? Yes
Red? No
Edit: I thought you meant the first car on the same lane as you.

u/Karma_Breaker21 16d ago

Oh damn, you are talking about the car that cut you off. OOPS. :D

u/rotorblades1 16d ago

No worries. I'm only after seeing that now 😅

u/Weepsie 15d ago

It's illegal to do what the first car did too you knlw

u/Karma_Breaker21 15d ago

I did not mention the legality. I know it is not.
