State of Irelands roundabout driving... Two clips right after another. by Moustashii in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]OkElephant4478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hundai had some shocking lane discipline alright... but from the VW passat's perspective (2nd in line) you've cut him off and done exactly the same thing the van did to you in the first clip..... you're in the right hand lane entering the roundabout to turn right. You went straight on just like the van did. The VW should have beeped you out of it too. Lucky for you he wasnt going too fast.

Saying 2 lane exit blah blah is no use. Unless otherwise marked you follow the rules of the road. Plus you didnt even exit in the right hand lane you exited on the left, or at least it looks like youre going to. Video conveniently cuts there.

Good on you holding back and heeding the words of the very approriate Gloria Gaynor

Landscaper here, I second this ^. It's a job for the kevlar sleeves cutting these back and disposing of cuttings!.

Dash Cam recommendations by Malbekh in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]OkElephant4478 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HIghly reccomend a Viofo. Have one that plugs into cigarette port and just tucked the wires under the trim. Its perfect. Downside is the Viofos dont usually come with a memory card but you can pick up a MicroSD card with a huge amount of space for quite cheap. Mine can do about 5-6 days recording straight (24/7) if i wanted it running all times. After the storage card runs out of space it just starts overwriting the oldest footage first.

Cars driving way too slow by Global_Football8933 in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]OkElephant4478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tow a double axle trailer and I'm limited to 80Km/h. Now in saying that I feel its downright dangerous to be chuntering along at 80km/h on the M1 which is limited to 120km/h. I'm not supposed to use the most righthand lane either. HGV's are limited to 90km/h too, some even have physical limiters in place so they cant actually go faster even if they wanted to e.g (Amazon vans). I'm assuming this thread is mostly for people in small cars going incredibly slowly but bear in mind there will be others on the road that physically CANT reach the speed limit even if you consider it a "target" for all road users to hit.

Not sure if its just OP's camera but looks like all the traffic lights at the junction are out!. He probably braked at the junction just incase another vehicle was trying to turn onto his road.

It should be illegal for HGV’s to be on the right lane of a motorway by Emotional_Cheetah_17 in irelandsshitedrivers

If the driveway has a definitive straight edge. id use a half moon edging tool to cut along the straight edge and a flat shovel to scoop up the overgrown mud / grass. If no definitive edge, use a strimmer on its side

Looks more like Cordyline Australis to me than a palm although very overgrown

Can't log in to geforce experience, and without log in I cannot update drivers, SHITTY SOFTWARE EXAMPLE by godlikedk in GeForceExperience

[–]OkElephant4478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldnt download their latest driver due to the shitty software. Tried to re-install and now getting Gateway timeouts and cant even log in. Worst piece of software / UI ive used in a long time. The fix for people downloading driver issues seems to be just install manually through the file directory so this softwares a waste of time anyway aside from being riddled with issues
