He’s not dead so it’s OK to post up a video of this absolute head the ball almost killing himself.
Stupid young fella obviously but the comments there are disgusting, I assume he’s fucked up from it?
Comments indicate he ran away from the scene. Which will probably only embolden the cunt until he does kill someone or himself.
I didn’t see those comments,
How’d he walk away from that? Terminator stuff
There was a message from Conor McGregor at the funeral of the driver in the crash in Clonmel.
It’s an appalling tragedy and my heart goes out to all affected by it, but I think the bare fact that there was a message from McGregor played at the driver’s funeral gives some insight into why the single vehicle crash may have happened and been so catastrophic.
No it doesnt.

Come on Sidney. That’s an awful comment.
Catastrophic crashes usually happen for a reason.
I saw a tweet yesterday (I can’t find it) where a coach bus had a dash camera and a car bombs up the outside and overtakes the bus on a solid white line where overtaking is banned, in wet conditions, and escapes crashing into a car coming the other way by the skin of its teeth. I think it was on the Athlone-Ballymahon road. I’d wager anything it was a man driving that car.
I was out walking last night on an urban road - Siobhan McKenna Road in Galway where the speed limit is 50kph which is 31 miles an hour - and a car came out from the turn near the back of Westside shopping centre and proceeded to bomb past me at at least 80 miles an hour. I’d regularly see people bombing up Newcastle Road at at least 60 or 70 miles an hour.
There’s an incredible amount of bad driving on Irish roads. Men and particularly young men are responsible for the vast majority of it and therefore the vast majority of deaths because they’re drunk on a perception of their own power and invincibility and prone to showing off. These are the things that cause deaths on roads.
I don’t know how it’s inappropriate to say that.
Sometimes it’s just best not to comment on some things.
There’s something in the air at the moment. There’s been a crash on 4 of the last 5 days on the N11 Northbound between South Wicklow and Dublin including today about 2 hours ago. No bad injuries thankfully but an abnormal amount.
There’s roadworks just outside Gorey at the moment. Yesterday mid morning some hero in a go faster car decides he can’t wait at the temporary traffic lights and tears off into a bunch of cars coming towards him like a big game of chicken. Bizarrely the oncoming traffic managed to get out of his way due to the layout. Was reported to Gardai but I’d doubt much will happen.

Wow,even for you that’s cuntish.Nobody knows what happened in that crash yet.
How so? How is it cuntish to point out that bad driving is to blame for road deaths? The vast majority of bad driving is irresponsible driving.
The majority of irresponsible driving is done by men and especially young men.
Why should we be politically correct about it?
The vast majority of fatal crashes don’t just happen, like freak weather events. They’re the product of human choices, of taking chances you shouldn’t take.
It is blindingly obvious that that car was going much faster than it should have been going. Even a cursory look at the wreckage from the picture on the ITV News website tells you that. The car is snapped in on itself from the bottom, overturned and facing the way it came. That simply doesn’t happen without excessive speed.
Those 4 souls were a few feet one way or another from walking away from the incident is what I heard.
Just desperately unlucky.
1/3 of road deaths are causes by speed
I was on the M50 today. People are fucking nuts. Some lad was running around it with 2 Gardai trying to catch him so everyone had to slow down. Back to the normal chaos after it.
What are the other 2/3s caused by and where did you get that stat?

I went into the RSAs website to see if I could find the 33% figure that was mentioned on Newstalk. I looked at their annual reports on fatalities and could find no part of the report, which listed the cause of death. Presumably, these figures would have to come from the Coroners inquests on fatalities in road traffic accidents. Are these figures collated on an an annual basis, broken down by cause of death?
I would have thought speeding was responsible for a much higher percentage of fatalities than the figure you mentioned.
