I think this kid has been featured before. Seems to be a proper geeky car spotter who gets his kicks from getting driven about really badly by strangers in fast cars.

dangerous driving but the RS5 does sound nice with that exhaust and is much quicker than I thought

What an absolute tosser of a driver...

Most of the comments say something along the lines of "omg that guy can drive bruh", says something about his viewing demographic.

Must have been doing triple figures in some 30 zones in that.

This is how everybody drives in Blackburn. The ringroad is a racetrack for these "Blackburn Boyz" with their chavved up cars and there are crashes nearly everyday.

I know you were all thrilled with the excitement there. I caught up with the same Polo later. Brace yourselves for the sheer adrenaline ride.

The problem is, people quite rightly want to crack down on driving like this but the result tends to be ordinary people being prosecuted for driving a little over unnecessarily low speed limits.

If you carry on hanging in out in the left-hand side blind spot of MLMs, you'll collect one soon enough! Overtake or stay back.

And impatient knobs should be able to cause death by dangerous driving ?

Elephant racing hgv's are annoying but that was stupid

The car driver was a knob. But so were the HGV's for elephant racing, I don't blame the car driver but I'd never do it nor recommend it.

All 3 of them are knobs.

I would totally blame the car driver and ban him/her from driving for ever.

People die because of idiot, self entitled knobs who act out their childish anger with a dangerous weapon.

No amount of mitigation would be valid.

We've all missed a point with this one. We get to see that there is no traffic behind the hgv in lane 1, therefore there's no reason why he can't go down 2 clicks on the cruise control, as many/most do, to allow the overtake to take less time.

Thus the Corsa has brake tested completely the wrong vehicle.

Interesting.

It worked. Lorries shouldn't be allowed to do this.

Dangerous driving from the Corsa. Should have his licence pulled.

Inconsiderate driving and 3 points for the HGV overtaking at 1m per mile.

+1. You're making the problem worse, not better. If they've seen you, neither car is going to pull into L1 while you're undertaking them (hopefully), so you're vindicating their choice of lane.

Given I was doing a constant 60 on the cruise control, and I wasn't catching them when I moved into lane 1. Hence moving into lane 1. Who put who in who's blind spot?

If you're going to be a pedant about driving. Be accurate.

Moving all the way to lane 3 would have blocked faster traffic (see that white merc). We all know how PH thinks than faster cars have priority so that's also a big PH nono. Why not just use the capacity on the road? Plus I could have used the lane for the exit if I'd really needed space. Nobody was using it.

You put yourself in his blind spot by overtaking on his left.

You could have overtaken safely (on either side) without even breaking the speed limit.

I'll never understand why people think it's safe to pootle along in another driver's blind spot.

The police need to take a look at that.

The police are probably well up on what this lot get up to.

But they don't, just be patient, you will still get there. The Corsa is an idiot, would have been the first to moan if the truck hadn't stopped in time.

He's fine, belongs to the "Manouver, signal, mirror" brigade.

Oh, I agree. The corsa driver needs to be locked up (see above)

Inside truck could have been more helpful, outside truck could have not gone for a move that would gain him nothing but overall it was the car that drove dangerously and no amount of blame for that can be levelled at the hgv drivers.

Polo seems to be tailgated down the slip road by the Honda(?) then boxed in behind the lorry as ithe Honda overtakes, wonder if there was some fallout before or just an impatient driver.

Cam car does not anticipate well though, a small lift whe you see the polo indicating would have prevented any hardish braking.

Polo still pulls into faster moving traffic though.

Your right, these days I am very cautious when I see a car coming down the slip road. In that clip, always anticipate he will over take the truck, and if L3 is empty (which it wasn't in the clip taking into account how fast the vehicle in L3 passed), move into L3.
