He accelerates from 37 to 50 and then again from 50 to 54, all while behind a vehicle that he knows his only doing 40, the only reason he can accelerate at all is because of the van and Astra have over taken. Why is he in such a rush to get on to arse of the other truck? Honestly it looks deliberate to my eyes, better close this gap so no one else overtakes at best and I'll teach this Audi a lesson at worst.

And pray tell, what could you of done even if in did see him?...the pure luck of the timing and the constant position of the truck maybe allowed the other drivers to judge the space....and they had to be perfect Centurion07 said:

Given he says "he better get his foot down" I refer to what I said previously.And the 50 to 54 acceleration sounds exactly like an automatic truck changing in to top gear to me.Depending on weight and road layout, that 50 to 54 mph increase could have taken a couple of seconds, or, thirty seconds plus.Honestly it looks deliberate to my eyes, better close this gap so no one else overtakes at best and I'll teach this Audi a lesson at worst.

Stupid Audi driver KR54EZH overtakes (on the left) by breaking the 30 limit, then stops after the green lights (attempted insurance scam crash-for cash?) then drives on through the next red light.

ok a white can goes through as well, but I didn't get his number.
Did you gesticulate at him at all?https://youtu.be/_XmixFwUsAg

It looks to me like he knows the area and deliberately held you up so you would miss the lights as some sort of revenge.

Fair enough, I had missed the change in speed limit on first view, which does somewhat alter it and I know precisely dick about driving trucks so I will bow to your knowledge there. However, you should still always leave a space for those who want to overtake, especially if you're in a truck and he certainly fails to do that. All I can say for sure is that I'd be pretty annoyed with myself in the cammers position, I'm certain I've never blocked an overtake but then maybe that's just because I rarely get overtaken

I think it's more a case of not being aware of what's going on around him. The Audi may have been surprised about the speeding up.
Either way the trucks done what he shouldnt do

He's in a hgv and significantly closes the gap to the lorry in front. That's crap driving Audi or not.

It's a case of focusing all his attention on the dodgy overtake he has just seen in front of him.Follwing the van out, blind? Great move by the car.You also see the car cut back in front of the truck and apply his brakes, so again, my attention would 100% be on the situation ahead.As with the last clip, there are only two idiots in this video and they are both car drivers.I think it's more a case of not being aware of what's going on around him.

He begins accelerating hard when the truck in front is overtaken, yet I'd be holding back waiting to see what happens there. Why?
His words after 'Ive just been hit' sound as though he might be just playing to the microphone that he knows is recording. or maybe not
But whether its deliberate or not hes not looking whats around him and not allowing for the overtake

Given the car pulls in front of the truck ahead and hits the brakes, there's a good chance the truck in front lifted, slowed and possibly braked which contributed to the closing of said gap.The camera lorry would have been hoping for the truck in front to raise his speed at some point and he may well have been trying to do just that before he had to deal with the van and car.

Accelerating hard? It takes almost 14 seconds to increase his speed approx ten mph.saaby93 said:

He's looking ahead, exactly like I would be.Exactly as you would be expected to do on your test no doubt in that situation.Examiner: "Why did you hit the truck in front up the arse?"
Driver: "I didn't really care about the cars cutting in on the truck, him slowing as a result, or anything else going on up ahead, I was more interested in seeing if anyone may overtake"
FAIL.

That said, not really appropriate behaviour from the future leader of the Labour Party.
Its the calmness that gets me.That said, not really appropriate behaviour from the future leader of the Labour Party.
Those who get totally wound up, like the guy in the Pratfall video, can't be very calculating in what they do and are often easy enough to get away from. That guy's line, "Put your mouth shut," is typical mouth before brain nonsense.
Someone calm but malicious can potentially do more harm to you because he's thinking what he's doing.
