Your ability to ignore cause and effect is astonishing even when admitting it impacts on your attention when driving as well.
Statistically you are 100% wrong.
I will ignore the blame them for all comment because that is b

The cause is his bad driving. The effect is his running into the car in front.Statistically you are 100% wrong.

ks and inserted to gain some bks reaction.The cause of his bad driving is debatable and irrelevant, but if you think the cause is the cyclist, what caused the cyclist to shout at him, if not his bad driving?

The effect was caused by bad driving.
I'm sure every single person that has ever run into the back of the car in front has a reason for doing so, but what we should all be doing is making sure we don't do it, and if we do, it's our fault. Whatever the reason is (I found myself mildly distracted by rather nice Porsche this morning. Often it takes a nice lady to distract me, especially if there's a bottom involved) it's usually largely irrelevant.
I know there are people on here wanting to blame cyclists for absolutely everything, but we really can't blame them for the bad driving of others.

Its obvious the car isnt sure whats it's supposed to be doing, theyve even highlighted it.
As far as the car is concerned it's stayed in lane with the hard shoulder to its left. It hasnt swerved into lane as the video suggests.
The thing is, it's bloody obvious what you're supposed to do when you're behind the wheel, those cats eye things they lay down in place of the lines are reasonably easy to spot (as was the sign) and if you fail to do that then they make a bloody great rumbling vibration when you drive on them.As far as the car is concerned it's stayed in lane with the hard shoulder to its left.

I still put that 90% down to an inept car driver, or perhaps 100% down to them if the truck driver didn't see what they were doing. All this stuff in the video pointing out the driver's lack of knowledge is only necessarily obvious with hindsight and a wide angle lens...

However the car with trailer in front has gone straight on, this car has gone straight on. If I was dictator and in charge of road markings, I'd be out there changing it until everyone stays in the lane I wanted
If youre doing percentages I'm 100% road markers for that one
You could give 10% to the professional truck driver who should have seen the car trailer ahead and guessed the car was going to do the same
I won't give any percentage to the car driver as they weren't made sufficiently aware, either by the markings or the traffic in front

I'm saying you should slow down where there is obviously a line of traffic and a gap by a sideroad or entrance. Immediately after replying to you I drove to work down this road and through this junction here.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.7445157,-2.48755...
I was in the inside lane, which was empty, and traffic was queuing in the outside lane. I slowed right down to 10mph on approaching the junction and there was a van driver nosing out who I couldn't immediately see until I got up to the junction. I know visibility pulling out of that junction is poor because of the high wall, so even if the road is clear and I want the outside lane I move well over to the left past that sideroad.
I stopped and let the van driver pull out. I didn't drive at him to make a point about how I had right of way and I didn't chase him down the street for a fight about it. We cooperated like friendly, civilised human beings and got on with our day, happy, alive, unhurt and with undamaged vehicles. That's what driving is about. It's a series of human interactions with other people who mostly just want to get somewhere safely and without hassle. The laws are there to keep us safe but observation, common sense and courtesy have to apply as well and sometimes you have to give up your right of way, or be prepared to, to fit in with everyone else. You don't have to drive everywhere bang on the speed limit, or make a point of exceeding it if it doesn't apply to you, and you don't have to force your right of way on other people. It's not safe, appropriate or courteous. It's what a lot of the idiots in these videos are doing while shouting at everyone just to create YouTube worthy stuff.
There is no point in citing completely different situations/scenarios. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.7445157,-2.48755...

Angry DashCamMan (ADCM) has delivered another compilation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8xleo1D3fs
Some bizarre supermarket car park rage at the start
A classic at the end when someone tries to overtake a bus, right into ADCM's face
The rest is just him getting overly angry about not very much

Blimey. Douche was driving too fast for the road but still not actually very fast. Has he pissed about with it or not looked after it mechanically, or was that car always that snappy?!http://jalopnik.com/magnus-walker-slid-his-911-int...

Well, on the upside there is the convenience in the crash - Just lower the ramp and take it away.
It's only old tin, but a snappy old thing never the less.
Just as well the ramp wasn't lower already otherwise he'd have been exchanging stories with Maria de VillotaIt's only old tin, but a snappy old thing never the less.
