You should write for the Daily Mail. ZERO evidence available on that video for you to make any estimate of rate of change of acceleration.
You really can't see the change in speed? Is the fact the white lines start moving much faster and the closing speed on the van suddenly increase not a clear indication?

k me there are some total fking lunatics on this forum - basically every poster suggesting the OP was in any way whatsoever to blame for the dangerous driving of the utter khunt in the white Audi.
OP pulls away from lights, pulls over into the left lane before the merge arrow appears, with plenty of space for a psycopath to pull into.
Hopefully all you guys live down south and so aren't a danger to me or my family.
What a distasteful thread. A real eye opener.

It's not my proudest driving moment and maybe I should of braked earlier however there was a large gap for the Audi to occupy his very last minute overtake considering he clearly has the power if I wanted to block him I would of struggled when he has 300bhp on kick down and I have half that and manual and I didn't shift down or boot it.
i think some people give slack on here if you have a car that's a bit quick or special. If that had been Ronnie Pickering in his Citroen I doubt so many would of accused me of shutting him down.

I pulled away from lights in lane 2 briskly.
when I saw I was closing on the slow moving fiesta I started slowing down. If I didn't want the audi to overtake i could of stayed over and controlled the road space. I can see the are some judge, jurors and executioners on this site who have decided and dapped the throttle to close the gap but I was acceralting from the lights all the time.
I got it though no more overtakes for me will just poodle and if I see an audi 's' car closing on me i will slam the brakes as if its an ambulance and need to make room for the to pass safely otherwise they may pass like this. He/she carried on driving like and did an overtake approaching a roundabout when he was 9 cars ahead.
Nope the video doesn't show that at all.when I saw I was closing on the slow moving fiesta I started slowing down.

As soon as you've completed your lane change (around 3 sec) you realise the Audi driver is going to overtake and you accelerate hard, probably WOT in whichever gear you were in. If you had just maintained your original speed the Audi driver would have had plenty of room to move into in front of you with enough time to do a crossword or maybe even a spot of embroidery in the process.

Is it? I must be missing something. Without sound, we cannot hear the engine load and revs increase, and there are no obvious signs of the OP having floored it.
Count the dashed line separating the lanes. Seventeen dashes. I count them passing under the OP's car fairly evenly up to about 8/9, then they seem to pick up in frequency. Driver101 said:

Quite a different thing.

How anybody could defend the Aud driving and turn this into some anti-dashcam thread speaks volumes - the wannabe street racers who can't afford trackdays and racing come out in droves.

Mate - this is the problem with a forum with no mouth breathing filters on membership. You get a full cross section of the bell curve. The biggest surprise is those with more than 3 braincells making assumptions from very very limited evidence. Really should know better.

Dashcams should be used for accident proof only,not so everyone can turn vigilante,sad times,whats next,people forwarding footage of drivers parking on yellow lines?How anybody could defend the Aud driving and turn this into some anti-dashcam thread speaks volumes - the wannabe street racers who can't afford trackdays and racing come out in droves.

They now exist. If their existence reduces the inclination for pretend racing drivers to use public roads as if no other road users exist that's a good thing.
I do not want people driving on the roads that I use driving like pretend racing drivers. That is far far more dangerous than 'speeding'.

Eyesight not your problem. Gross assumption making seems to be your forte.

There is ZERO evidence available to corroborate your claim of a step change in acceleration after the lane change (compared to the rate of acceleration from his setting off). None.

You have merely asserted your opinion as if it is fact.

I could just as easily say there is ZERO evidence of the acceleration staying constant.You have merely asserted your opinion as if it is fact.
I gave my interpretation of the video just like you've given yours, seems plenty of people agree with me.
Next week, the OP goes to his local supermarket... And behaves quite differently once he isn't in a metal cage with doors and glass 
.
I am reminded of the chap in the Audi who 'blocked' an overtaking Mokka on the A44(?) and posted his dashcam video up for us to critique in an almost identical original post on here; that thread didn't go well either

Hint: if one uses a dashcam, be fully aware that it can be used to incriminate one's self as the driver as well as drivers of other vehicles .
