Orange weather warning and this genius decides to overtake a motorcyclist without leaving the same lane so he can gain two spots on the slip road. 🤦♂️ It’s actually surprising there aren’t more incident on the m50 every week.

To be fair that bikes road position is pretty bad. Not that the car should have made that move but if the bike was owning the lane more it would be less likely for something like this to be attempted.
They do that a lot on the M7 & M9 too. It’s more common than you’d think.

Video definitely recorded by the driver while driving
The warning in Dublin is yellow, not orange.
There were some amount of arseholes on the M50 this morning.
The notion to reduce speed and leave a bit of a gap doesn’t occur to them. I saw so many near misses on the way in.
You know, when I first moved here I wondered why there were so many adverts from the Road Safety Authority.
I figured it out very quickly
Did he even indicate.
it’s amazing how a little rain changes traffic so much in the mornings
And this is way I refuse to learn to drive because of other assholes.
We need those graphic 90s RSA adverts back. Too many clowns on the road with no awareness
I’m I the only one in Ireland who has “only a fool breaks the two second rule” beaten into them?! Obvs this isn’t what is happening all around them but by Christ. Honestly when we’re jailing and criminalising people for weed and speeding whereas terrible terrible driving is hunky dory with a “a sure look it” attitude. THIS KILLS PEOPLE.
(But about the same amount of people who kill themselves, but we don’t get graphic adds about that now do we, no tax dollar dollar money in it)
The fucking SUV behaviour on M50 merges and exits is ridiculous!!
All that for barely any progress. Like all the fools who stand up and go for the door the second the seat belt signs go off. We’ll done. You got a whole 3ft before now having to stand around for 10 minutes.
Person in a BMW up my ass from J13 to J11 Northbound, started flashing me to get out of the way! I stood my ground and gave way to the lunatic when safe to do so.
Rain beating down visibility very bad as a result.
I was going steady at 100kph keeping a safe distance to the car in front. Once Mr BMW (Big Massive Wanker) had his chance he was putting the foot down to pressure the next car to move. Had to have sped up to at least 130kph to gain that ground so quickly!!
Idiots like this cause accidents and safer drivers pay the consequence!!
Got to avoid that toll, everyone else is just an NPC, waiting for me to go first, right?
If arseholes could fly that place would be an airport.
What do you mean more incidents? Every time I use the m50 there’s been a crash and backlogs.
Last time it was a car wedged between the meridian and another car. Given the debris left and the state of the car against the meridian I can only assume the other guy changed lanes without looking and instead of pulling away when he started scraping the other car he just drove on until friction stopped him.
My favourite thing on the motorway is to do the speed limit in the right lane.
People in this country can barely walk down the footpath without bumping into each other. Sure how was a motorway ever going to be better?
On a tangent, is anyone else annoyed that the M50 signs say Ó Thuaidh/Northbound and Ó Dheas/Southbound even though Ó Thuaidh and Ó Dheas mean “From the North” and “From the South”?
Never understood how one car makes a difference when you are all stuck going the same speed like once you skip those two cars the road doesn’t just magically open up fucking lemons
Yeah that’s cunty behavior, motorcyclists looks like the wasn’t in the middle of the lane though which is inviting cuntish overtakes
To be fair, there are an arse load of incidents on the M50. Every single day you hear about a collision on the radio. It’s actually ridiculous. Considering motorways are supposed to be ‘safer’ than the average road, I would bet that the M50 is criminally below par on its safety statistics. Needs to improve drastically, but doesn’t help that its constantly at or above capacity.
Moanyhole post – that was not abhorrent by any means. You’d see a lot worse on a normal stretch.
Need some serious fines for dangerous driving on the m50. Amount of times some clown crosses 3 lanes of traffic at the last minute to get their ‘exit’.
Likewise ppl on phones
People like him pass the driving test first time, its unfair
Our motorways have become lawless.
I pass tractors, learner drivers with nobody, you name it on a daily bases on the M1. There was a picture the other day of a lad on an E Scooter going down some slip road 🙃 never see the gaurds anywhere.
Some amount of dopes on the m50 that actually think gaining a couple of places in a line of cars is significant to their obviously very important busy day and don’t get me started on turning off last minute I’m surprised there isn’t more accidents
Yer man’s a dope for sure but the biker should be making better progress here.
How many cunts are there that speed along in the left lane ,and wait until the very last second to change lanes into the off ramp just so they can be a couple of cars ahead. I cannot wait for the installation of average speed cameras on the M50.
Ah he could of got another two cars there easy. He’s not even good at being a shit driver.
Not saying I’d do it, just that I saw it btw
So glad I don’t have to go on that road to get to work anymore. Pretty much every day there was a crash, Fridays were 3 hour find an alternate route adventures. 3 hours to do 25km.
Tbh that’s nothing, he’s going slow and gave the bike enough room, you’re too used to the softness of Ireland, go to NY drive through Manhattan during rush hour ( probably any major city really)
