Cyclists

There is no ambiguity here, the driver is 100% wrong - he is crossing a lane by making a left hand turn across it, he also needs to indicate to signal that he is going to turn and then make sure the lane is clear, same as if it were a driving lane.

A few here could do with brushing up on the rules of the road ?

And the overall trend is more than a halving of road deaths over a 20 year period.

All with an additional 1.3 million cars on the road in the same period.


Your hysterical guff bears no scrutiny or relation to reality ?

i wonder is it a case of less deaths but more injuries like... modern cars have lots of features to protect in the event of a collision making it harder to be killed ...our ambulance s are also much better than twenty years ago with the paramedics having better training and equipment. i dont know , i'm just wondering.

Roads in Ireland are massively better than they were 20 years ago too. In 2004, you had to go through the centre of a rake of towns and villages to get to Dublin. Getting out to Macroom involved a lovely jaunt through the sights and sounds of downtown Ballincollig. The South Ring was just a series of accidents at badly designed, over capacity roundabouts.
I recall breaking the axle on my bike slightly before that on the Model Farm road hitting a particularly nasty pothole, used to regularly have punctures as the roads were so awful.

It'd be a little surprising if the massive investments in the road network over the past 20 years didn't result in at least some safety improvement...

Also drink driving was very common back then. Lost a couple of good friends back then to it.

Because the truck is indicating to the left, how did you get a licence.
Hilarious that you are now checking the content that he is creating for his "fans"

I don't see an issue?
He left room and was safe overtake on otherside of road.
Just cause it looks strange and an unorthodox maneuver doesn't mean it's illegal.

Driver uses hazards to acknowledge then but plenty of room as I say

That's not how I see it, the cyclist had the right of way, the van would not have pulled out if it had been a car instead of a chap on a bike.

I've been the victim of that move more than once, when the driver acts as though the cyclist is invisible.
