False complaint made about my driving, call from Garda

whereas I waited for the line to break so that I could get into the lane legally. As it happened, the first gap in the line of taxis/cars in the lane illegally early was in front of her car.

Any thoughts?

I cannot understand why drivers wait for the "line break". I have seen cars take an almost 90 degree turn from the inside lane of the N11, cutting across the bus lane to exit. If there are buses, taxis or other cars already in the bus lane then you have to wait until these pass you on the inside leaving you exposed to be rear ended.
This whole area needs to be looked at again because it is dangerous. Surely it is better to read the situation and switch lanes before waiting for the line break.

Having read his account, he was in the wrong for beeping because he was stuck on a luas line. He shouldn't have crossed the line until he was sure he would get across. He was obviously travelling too close to the car in front if he got stuck becuase the car in front stopped for whatever reason. He had no right to beep at her.

I talked to the Garda and she said that they weren't going to take any action as there was no incident, it was her word against mine etc.
