The video wasn't poor quality that I watched. It was HD. As I said from the start, I guessed that the people who were struggling to see the later acceleration were watching in low quality.

All you've done through this thread is be awkward and dish out childish insults.

There's countless people, including professionals who call the incident the same as me.

It could be everyone else seeing something that isn't there, or maybe the case is you might not have the judgement you think you have. I'm very much in belief of the second option.

For the last fking time, I'm not fking biased. You can say it 1 million times, you're still wrong. Jesus fking christ. I have no reason to be biased. I've watched the video and listened to the OP. On that basis I don't believe him. That is not a bias for the umpteenth time.

I have given my opinion on what I seen. I've explained over and over why I have that opinion. Why you just want to niggle on and on asking the same things I don't know.

Go pick an argument with someone else who can't see it from your side. I won't respond to you again.

I think previously you stated you had been hung out to dry in your boxster by a zafira when doing a last minute over take on a merge lane. Or was that someone else?


Your comments their suggest maybe a slight basis as this situation is uncanny in the similarities. You have accused the zafira driver i.e. me of hanging the audi out to dry but a last minute nose rise on my zafira and turn of speed in your opinion as the home office and IPCC lead expert of vehicle collisions.

Lysander Road in Yeovil, site of some of the most atrocious driving I have ever had the misfortune to witness.

OP you were in the wrong, anything more than 30 along that piece of road is idiotic, however the guy driving the Q5 is a complete cock not just on your video either, that is how he always drives.

I not sure why this got missed by so many or whether its been ignored as it didn't suit the arguments and berating of me.

A person familiar with the road and has previous experience of the audi and states they always drive like a but case.

Let's put ourselves in the Audi drivers seat...

The road signs indicate that the lanes are merging.

Q1. Would you drop behind the Zafira or would you overtake?
Q2. Would you then carry out a second, even riskier, overtake?

I honestly can't tell whether the OP "booted" it or not. If he was genuinely inclined on causing the Audi problems he could theoretically have closed the door on him. But (IMHO) the Audi driver is going to end up seriously injuirng/killing somebody if he continues to drives like that.

I honestly can't say what I would do as I do not know what the Audi drivers situation was. Had he just had a call from his mums nursing home saying "this is your last chance to see your mum she is going down hill fast get here quick", or was he just in a hurry for some other possibly important reason and he or she would not normally drive like that?

Or was he just driving a like a bit of an idiot?

We don't know and probably never will.

Standing on it's own it's idiotic or not.
Even a dying relative doesn't suddenly make an idiotic overtake an OK overtake.
You can argue it's mitigation for making a poor decision, but it doesn't make it any less a poor decision.

"Yes, because I drive an Audi!"

OP: If you want to join the Stasi generation of motorists, spying on other motorists and grassing them up to the authorities for every single indiscretion they make then just go ahead and do it! - You don't need to ask the PH-massive first if you should.

(And let's be honest, the Audi driver in the footage is driving like a complete (and dangerous) twt!)

I would say though that you'd better be careful not to make any mistakes or errors ever when you're out and about driving, because one day a Stasi motorist might record your indiscretion and decide to report you to the police!

Personally, I find it quite sad that we now live in a World where people are so eager to act as stooges for the authorities in this way, but that's just the way the World is going!

I would say to your reply I have had a dash cam my main car for going on 9 months. This is the first clip I have posted and reported to the police after adding one to my family bus.

I agree i like many make mistakes and to post/report every minor driving faux par is not correct.

However in this case the audi choose the most dangerous and crazy course and continued to drive like this into the foreground. My concern is its not just bad driving errors in judgement. It is in fact a wilful arrogance that causes them to drive in such a manor that they risk the lives all all road users in their path. this is further backed up by someone on this thread who says this driver is known to them and has past history of always driving like a nut case Is not a case of duty to point a person this reckless out to the authorities or do you think he should be left until such time they kill someone?

If you watch the fiesta overtake he came close to oncoming cars and a cyclist?

Amazing that so much can be said, for so long, over such a fking triviality.

If you loved ones had been in a car in his path and had a head on would that be trivial?

maybe your right i have heard nothing form the avon & somerset police however they maybe busy stopping their chief harassing the local woman

[Centurion07]

I wonder how trivial you'd consider it if Audi-dhead crashed into YOU while driving like a cock?

Excuse me? I've agreed with you if you look back at my replies.

So go look at someone elses profile that hasnt been updated for about 6 years, then look at who I was quoting and calm yourself down.

Doesn't change people's opinion of your driving though.

You are clearly mixing me up with someone else. I've never owned a Boxter and I don't think I've ever had an issue with a Zafira either. You're either mixed up, or making it up.

In an effort to show I've got a biased opinion, there isn't half some things being invented.

Agreed, it may change the perception of the driver as to what risks they deem acceptable that is all.

Lots of people saying that if they were in the drivers seat or various other ways of putting them in that situation but I was more pointing out that because no one can say what pressures were on the driver or indeed their mental state it is pointless trying to do that, you can't.

The end really is the question of the rules of the road, broken or not, yes or no?

In this case yes.

You did suggest a guy who drives an Aston might not like owners with expensive cars. I found that funny.

If the OP did accelerate, its so bleedin marginal that half of us can't see it and half of us think they can, as a result its hardly material to what happened.
