Arrogant tt at 4:50 keep beeping the P plate car, drive over a mini roundabout, did a U turn, always give a P plate a bit of room, we ae not all Fanzio's Fangio although some think they are.
Quite.

Imagine : you've just passed your test, you've made an effort to inform other drivers by affixing a "P" plate to your car, it's dark, you make a lane error, then you get some chasing you and flashing the high beams. That'll do wonders for the confidence.

Well done, "Kaz"

What a star.

What a little ray of sunshine.

If your on the motorway L1 and 2 is say doing 50, and L3 is clear, would you pass them at 70?, or 50?, just in case some plonker changes lanes.
The prudent option would be to split the difference (at a minimum.)

Barreling past a parallel lane of traffic with such an offset is asking for trouble.

With a 20mph difference, I just keep a close eye on whether they are about to realise I am there and that they are going too slowly in the wrong lane and try to make a quick lane correction. Worst case you have a bit of room on the hard shoulder if needed. However,99% of the time they are completely oblivious and don't drop down a lane even when I pass them.

Decent video for a change, one or two old ones but mostly all good

6:37 was he in the blind spot? Surely you check the mirror before changing lanes?

2m18s - does that look deliberate? Maybe some argy bargy between the van and the lorry beforehand but poor sod getting caught up on the barriers.

And also kudos to the driver that didn't have to stop but pulled up behind to help.

No, just looks like piss poor driving. The minibus seems to be indicating.

Nice that the other car stopped but you do have to be really careful in doing so as cars behind are doing 70mph and are not expecting to stop. A guy I heard about did this on the M1 and was killed in exactly this way.

Exactly. Terrible for the guy in the link having survived all that combat in the army only to suffer shocking injuries on the motorway.

Out of combat, losing a leg and being described as "in the army", I can guess which hurt the most. smile

I debated posting this link, simply because everything about it is dire and epitomises the self-centred "main character" trend these days.

The inevitable is at the very end if you want to skip the idiocy and "music."

tts, the lot of them. Why do these pricks always film their substandard driving? Surely makes it 'case closed' for the Police?

US police seem to have better things to do- see Max Wrist thread on BB.Ludicrous riding, all on YT, including what looked like deliberately causing a potentially fatal crash for dramatic purposes. In his case it has caught up with him and he is in prison.

I suppose it makes me a bad person, but with guys like this I am always half hoping for a substantial impact with a solid object. Like a bridge pier.
