the amount of dangerous driving i see i ring Garda Traffic watch, which is embarrassing. they almost know me by name at this stage
how many times have they actually taken action? twitter and social media is full stories of cyclists getting a shrug of the shoulder and a 'ah sure, no harm, no foul' response from the gardai.

one of the lads on boards a few years ago caught a collision on dashcam; a motorist turned right straight into an oncoming cyclist. the garda allowed in court that she may have had the sun in her eyes, so it was taken as a mitigating factor, but two things stood out
a) [ALLCAPS] you don't turn right across traffic if you can't see if there's oncoming traffic[/ALLCAPS]
and
b) it was abundantly clear in the video that the motorist had the sun *behind* her.

They have recently phoned me to follow up and make a statement...... aboutreports I literally made 6 months ago.

which is useless - How could I possibly testify in court about one of many many hazey dangerous incidents?!

I suppose getting a dashcam might be the answer
 
I am not optimistic

I think it might be in China
 
we had a weirdly passive aggressive carol singer at the door earlier. just a woman on her own who launched into 'we wish you a merry christmas' with no preamble, looked a little pissed off when i said we'd no cash in the house and said 'but you have some sweets?' before leaving. i'm not sure if this is a thing now. like those people who used to insist on washing your windscreen at traffic lights.
 
carol singers. fucking hell. i mean i love christmas and everything that goes with it, but once, on a cold december night a few years back, the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and they (some local urchins out to make a quick buck) got as far as "🎵We wish you....🎵" before i said - and this is a direct quote - "No." and closed the door again, all in a swift single motion. Thankfully it's never happened since.

Did they have a mask on?
