The "Sh*t Driving Caught On Cam" Thread Vol II
Discussion

I'm with Lunar One on this and I'm not sure what the rest of you are watching. All the poor sod has done is drive round a roundabout. He's accelerated to a perfectly reasonable 25mph or so by revving cleanly and briskly through second gear. All the while he's minding his own business when not one but two seemingly completely blind steering wheel operatives decide to pull out in front of him. He quite rightly issues an audible warning of his presence and carries on his merry way, grumpy at the knowledge that two idiots have relied on his skill/judgement/reactions rather than their own to prevent an accident.
What am I misinterpreting?
Thanks F50. You've eloquently expressed exactly how I felt about the situation. The wide angle of the camera lens makes them seem further away than they were in reality. I had to slow to a crawl behind the Nissan despite taking the roundabout at a measured pace. Had he not pulled out I could have continued on at 25mph or so. By Russian standards the other drivers weren't doing anything crazy but by British standards it was reckless enough that I thought it worth the upload. What am I misinterpreting?

Just the other night, Mercedes Taxi and Nissan Blob pull out right in front of me on a roundabout. Pretty normal stuff and I was going to let it go but the Nissan then proceeds to dawdle despite pulling out even later than the Merc so I give him a blast and he brake checks me.

I have a dashcam, I have never uploaded any of it to YouTube. I have recorded people doing the sort of stuff like this roundabout video, but I didn't even bother to get it off the memory card.
I've only had my dashcam for 4 months or so, and I only got one because of this thread. In fact I've only uploaded a couple of clips and then only to contribute something to the thread. I certainly don't drive round trying to make something out of nothing for the sake of the camera. On the rare occasion that I do upload something, it's not for the purpose of gaining notoriety or views and I certainly have no intention of making or contributing to any compilations. I have a busy home and work life and PH is the only place I publish anything on the internet.Here's one. Rider awarded $180,170 in damages...

Well that was completely over the top. Judging by his riding and reaction, he only realised there was a cop behind once he was in the town. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Uuo_CiiPk8

Just had to check I wasn't featured on Youtube.
Overtook a car in the middle lane on the M56 heading towards Chester, returned to middle lane as a line of lorries in left, steady 77 on the speedo, slowly caught up to Xtrail sitting in right lane doing around 70 at a guess.
Went past him. He started blowing his horn, flashing his lights, then speed up so he was sitting alongside me and pointing at a small device on his windscreen (guessing dashcam). He pissed off when I blew him a kiss.
Searched the rego of the car and "black BMW undertaking" and nothing found as yet.
Shame. Would have been amusing watching.

Run a search on your numberplate maybe? He could be a relative of the PH Hero Uphillsaladtosser and adds them to the video title/description.

I don't see anything wrong with what you did as I do this regularly. If he did upload then likely the online community would tell him he's a donut for sitting in the outside lane.Overtook a car in the middle lane on the M56 heading towards Chester, returned to middle lane as a line of lorries in left, steady 77 on the speedo, slowly caught up to Xtrail sitting in right lane doing around 70 at a guess.

Reminds me of this clip that came across my news feed yesterday (skip to 1.30 onwards). The guy goes from singing along to some sedate random music to screaming obscenities like he's about to burst an aneurysm all because of... well... not much? Some people really need to chill out more lol.
Huh?? He calls "t
t" twice. He was nowhere near screaming obscenities like he's about to burst an aneurysm and I reckon he dealt with it just fine.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=cb4_1453778421
Two police cars collide in Seattle.
Fast forward to 1.55 ish to see the action.

See how he's holding that weapon? That, right there, is everything that is wrong with America. They all think they're Bruce Willis storming the Nakatomi building. The reason there was no sound on that video is to prevent those of us in the civilised world hearing him shout, "Yippeekayay motherfker" as he dropkick the obviously compliant and obviously harmless motorcyclist.Take the hundred and eighty grand out of the copper's account and set him adrift at sea on a small raft. Do us all a favour. f
