So the Insignia is passing the Zafira, which moves into lane 1. As it completes the manoeuvre into lane 1 the Zafira puts its right indicator on. Insignia quite reasonably stays in lane 3 given the car in lane 1 is signalling to move out.
GTR driver is an utter impatient tt. He probably hasn't even noticed the Zafira indicating to move out (he's got that in common with many of the people who've commented, it seems).
Audi driver is also a tt, undertaking while the GTR is busy brake-testing the Insignia.
On what's actually shown in the video the Insignia has done absolutely nothing wrong. Of course he could have been hogging the outside lane for ten miles, we'll never know.
Saved me typing it out - I agree with this 100%GTR driver is an utter impatient tt. He probably hasn't even noticed the Zafira indicating to move out (he's got that in common with many of the people who've commented, it seems).

This stuff goes on daily, around the world, every minute of every day. Those with the capacity to see it coming or not react don't have problems, I just can't see why people feel the need to film it and then post it. Nothing happened.
If it were a cyclist filming something, they would be labelled 'militant' and 'on the lookout for trouble'.

Anyone remotely blaming the Insignia needs to look at how they go about their motorway driving.
If he pulled in before the GTR appeared, he'd have been well within 2 seconds of the camera car and placed himself into the blind spot of the Zafira which is indicating right ffs and has within a second completed it's own maneuver.
If you mongs are moving back into the left lanes this quickly after overtaking, then you are the tts, not the Insignia.
Back to the GTR tt, I think the tail gating is worse than the brake test, looks like he gets within a foot or 2. Hopefully he does it to a crash for cash scum bag one day.
Totally agree. The Nissan driver is a weapons grade bell end. If he pulled in before the GTR appeared, he'd have been well within 2 seconds of the camera car and placed himself into the blind spot of the Zafira which is indicating right ffs and has within a second completed it's own maneuver.

the insignia was driving correctly- I certainly wouldn't want to pull into the blindspot of the Vauxhall just as he was signalling to come out again.
The GTR driver need his license taking away and preferably a stay in prison.

"This is why I got a dash cam" . So you can self righteously put a clip of some body else's poor driving on Youtube? Why have we turned into a nation of small minded grasses?
90% sure the OP meant it in a "if I had been the insignia, I would have had evidence against the ahole in the GTR, had there been a collision" rather than so he can put the footage on youtube. Dave Hedgehog said:

What exactly is the matter with these people?
Either they're dozing off, in which case they shouldn't be driving, or else they don't understand the basic rules of the road, in which case they shouldn't be on the road.

"This is why I got a dash cam"... to post examples of other drivers' mistakes on the internet?! Really?!
And those placing blame with the Insignia driver need their heads examining.
This place gets worse and worse.

The GTR driver should be in jail. If you disagree with that, you haven't got any imagination or intelligence.
Try this - imagine the driver of the Insignia is your 17 year old daughter and is learning to use the motorway. Imagine she coughs or sneezes at the moment the GTR decides to anchor on in front of her. One dead young woman and probably serious injuries to plenty of others following behind.
Seriously, people, if you feel any urge to defend the GTR driver or wouldn't report him, you should get some advanced driv my training or hand in you licence. Criminal behaviour.

Shot on a mini 0805, it will play on you tube at 1440 so not bad for a £50 dash cam.
Excellent clarity - not so sure about the GPS and speed recording thing though...!WinstonWolf said:

Jesus talk about an over reaction bGet over yourself and get yourself a dash cam quick so you can add to this nation of curtain twitching freaks.
Anyone who uses to their car as a weapon or intentionally to create a potentially fatal incident should be locked up. You would be locked up if you waved a gun at someone, and threatening them with 2 tons of metal travelling at 80mph is no less morally indefensible.People who have that kind of attitude to driving are a danger that we don't have to tolerate. I imagine that cocks like him cause more than half of all fatal accidents.

So just harmless fun on the part of the GTR in your book?
Did anyone die? No.What we don't see is what happened before. Perhaps they brake tested? Perhaps they mooned the GTR? Perhaps the driver was having an affair with a stewardess?
Harmless yes as nobody was hurt. Fun- no.

How far back do we need to check the Insignia driver's behaviour to ensure he is completely blameless? I would suggest 1983. Unless he can provide countersigned photographic evidence of his good character he's partially or wholly to blame.LittleEnus said:
Harmless more due to luck than judgement. But GTR knob still behaving like a toilet.

yes no one was hurt THIS TIME. Lets be honest if that's the consistent driving habits of the GTR driver than its a matter of when not if. The problem isn't this occasion- its what happens in the future- that was very very close to being a fatal accident.
Look - it 's bad driving but nothing unusual. I doubt if it would have been posted at all if a GTR had not been involved . Did the OP experience the teeniest regret that there wasn't a shunt-nobody hurt , bent metal galore- so as to indulge himself even more , witness a drama unfolding before him sort of thing ? Dash cam is fine if you are crash for cashed etc but this sort of small minded holier than thou voyeurism speaks volumes more for the dash cammer than the drivers doesn't it ? All a bit Neighbourhood watch for me thanks - Sir sir look at what the bad boy did sir..
