Video: Luas releases footage of near misses with cyclists

The Luas operator said, “The trams are very much a part of Dublin’s transport infrastructure and this type of cyclist behaviour is irresponsible.”

VIDEO FOOTAGE FROM CCTV cameras on the front of Luas trams shows collisions and near misses between cyclists and trams.

The Luas operator Transdev released the video as part of its campaign #BeTramAware.

It says the campaign focuses on showing cyclists how close they can come to being seriously injured when breaking red lights.

This video shows some of the irresponsible cyclist behaviour that Luas drivers see on a daily basis and which puts both cyclists and Luas passengers in danger.

Luas are encouraging the public, including cyclists, to share the video on social media.

Transdev added, “The trams are very much a part of Dublin’s transport infrastructure and this type of cyclist behaviour is irresponsible.”

    looks like utter crap. its still got a controller so it’s like wearing a phonescreen on your face while still carrying the phone around in your hand. also if that’s the font color they go with, they might wanna rethink it. couldnt make out some of the letters at times.

    I remember about 20 years back the small town I lived in did not want cctv installed in the town as it’s too invasive. These days you can’t pick your nose without someone filming it

    Google Glass is not gone, they’re moving it from their experimental division to their production division. How have the media got this so wrong?

    If they’re anything like Sony Phones the glass will break if you drop them onto anything harder than a pillow.
