Would you of reported it without a dashcam? If not then it wasn't dangerous enough to bother.

Before dash cams if someone's driving was dangerous the plod would be told and just have a quiet word. Now everyone with a dashcam thinks all should be punished. Let's hope OP ever does a slightly risk move or doesn't signal and that person just reports it without asking a forum.
If you thought it dangerous enough to bother & didn't have a dashcam there'd be little point in reporting it.
The fact people have the dashcam means they'll bother reporting it now because they believe there is a point as something is more likely to be done about it.
This. If I didn't have a dashcam there would be no evidence and I sure as fk wouldn't remember the number plate.

Old Loon has been being a bit aggressive lately (mostly out of character I would add). Don't take it personally, I'm sure he'll get that sand out of his vagina soon.
Does have a point on this occasion though

What point does he have? I was asking for an opinion on whether to report it or not. I felt it was particularly dangerous, but have removed the footage from general viewing after taking peoples opinions into consideration.

Fair question methinks. Failed the police entry exam maybe ?
Did think about being a HATO at one point but had points on my licence.
Were you caught on camera?

You're making something out of not a lot and sticking your nose in.

You weren't even the victim of the lane changer. It didn't seem the RR driver made much of an issue and he got into lane and carried on.

On the other hand you chopped and changed lanes to speed up and catch the Bentley driver and took yourself away from where you were going.

Strange that you have more of an issue with the situation than the victim has.

When you make an error, are you going to run down the cop shop and hand yourself in?

Perhaps the RR didn't have a dashcam.

I was turning right at the roundabout and in no way "chopped and changed lanes" to catch up the BCGT driver. I don't know where you have got that impression from you weirdo.

You exited on the left lane, you then moved to the right lane, accelerated and overtook a couple of cars to get on the tail of the Bentley.

Once you got on the roundabout, you then moved back over to the left lane and joined the waiting traffic on the middle on the roundabout.

You very clearly changed your course of driving twice just to catch up.

Absolutely no need for the insults. I got the impression from your video you've have to remove as you didn't get the answers you wanted.

mighty fine actually.


Did you actually read the op? I was asking for opinions, not judgements. I will post up my undertake of someone doing 65 in the outside lane of the m25 not 5 minutes before if that makes you feel better. I havent reported this to the police, I was asking what other people would do. Now I know how many retards who are up their own rectums there are in this sub forum, I am gonna stay out of it and leave you all to your own jerkcircle.

He didn't like the answers he was getting so pulled it.

Usual scenario, post video and ask for opinions, don't get the answer you want, delete video, throw insults and then hide.

OP, be man enough to post it up again if you've nothing to hide. It's no big deal.
