Wondered if this was a case of someone getting annoyed with dawdlers in a 50/NSL limit but it's a 30 zone from what I can see here: https://goo.gl/maps/cdCvXJust a stereotypical Vauxhall driver

Couldn't make out what set them off. Apart from being natural idiots.
Truck taking up two lanes on the approach to the roundabout. Says so beside the video.

You may feel its ok to pull out on folk but it really isn't, and I didn't speed up but slowed down to his speed.
If we are talking about the vid you posted back on page 67 - the speed indication on the camera showed that you accelerated from 38mph at 11 seconds in when the silver car was seen to begin their manoeuvre up to a speed of 44mph at 15 seconds in - just before you came up behind the vehicle that had pulled out.I wonder if you had continued at 38mph instead of accelerating, whether the vehicle that pulled out would have caused you quite so much of an issue.
Of course - we can't now verify that because the video has been mysteriously taken down.
Nothing says "confidence in my own driving" more than

Quite possibly the biggest prick I have ever seen in a video.How sad that he expects absolute perfection on every turn from such a large vehicle.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt619Pwaz3o

Oh, I'll post it back, I was sorting out older videos and must have cropped this. It isn't a really good view apart from folk pulling out into traffic, etc, but I'm pleased it's caused discussion.I wonder if you had continued at 38mph instead of accelerating, whether the vehicle that pulled out would have caused you quite so much of an issue.

Anyway, as you correctly observed, he pulled out as I was approaching. The rest is conjecture.

Please get some driving tuition. You will not only be a safer driver - you will find driving a lot more enjoyable. You are getting very stressed out by your own bad habits, bad attitude and lack of awareness.Anyway, as you correctly observed, he pulled out as I was approaching. The rest is conjecture.

Indeed. Could have been avoided but the usual 'I'm here, I'm not moving' attitude prevailed.
Deliberately crashing into another vehicle because you are 'in the right' is extremely bad driving and worthy of losing your licence, to my mind. The caravan idiot is obviously extremely incompetent, but the cammer decided to ram him to make a point and isn't fit to hold a licence.I see this stance rolled out frequently in this thread and on the most part, I totally agree. It's nearly always possible to avoid the crash in this instance, if you're the cam guy...isn't it?
The problem is, how many people do you let in? If someone tries to queue jump in the post office, do you just step aside and back down? Where do you draw the line?
Driving in England is actually quite a pleasure. Perhaps because we have these individuals who are willing to crash, at crawling speed, to prevent people from taking the piss? The more people who stand up to others with below par standards, the better. I'm just not brave enough to be one of them!
Yes, the cam driver could've let the caravan in, but it ultimately isn't his responsibility to disappear.
I wonder if he saw red? Certainly if he has a passenger then they probably were not too impressed. Maybe he will claim not to have seen the truck - no extra width mirrors fitted - and the truck didn't blast his horn to warn him.
Quite bizarre on many counts. Will it go 'knock for knock' on insurance?

I really suspect it will. Whilst I admit there is no audio to back up this contention, I believe that the truck driver deliberately crashed into him. Regardless of the rights and wrongs, it's surely never worth ending in a crash!
But that would only work if the other party is willing to (illegally) occupy the space the truck is moving into?I see what you mean, but, watching the whole 2 minutes+ the trucker is crawling along, trying to keep a steady rate despite the numpty Scenic driver continually braking in front of him. Must be frustrating.
Then watching the other carriageway it seems obvious the CRV has been tootling along without trying too hard to join the correct lane (conjecture I know).
Lastly when Mr. Caravan gets out he's chewing - perchance he'd had a snack en route and wasn't paying attention?
