The first video with the welsh kid is truly scary, and to me underlines why its *not* a good idea to get peoples backs up and attempt to police the roads.
That 'old guy' very calmly, without raising his voice, changing pitch or even breaking a sweat tells him he will hurt him bad - theyre the people you need to be very careful of. Joe Q public can say the same thing but will be sweating and shaking, and their voice goes....

He just tells you.

You need to be careful who you mess with. Not all hardmen are 6 foot roid heads with tribal tattoos... just sayin'....

Seriously? I can't say I would have been scared of that fairly frail middle class old man with pathetic hard man talk.

That said, not really appropriate behaviour from the future leader of the Labour Party.

You can see this kind of stuff a hundred times a day in London.It spices up the rather boring congestion! I would have just laughed had I been on the bike - although I wouldn't have cared he cut the corner anyway.

Indeed, telling him it's all on camera is only going to alert him to the need for it's disposal along with his body.

How does the law work with regards to this type of footage? I can understand it is useful as evidence for criminal investigations but are the police bothered for a slightly dodgy overtake, or someone driving too close?

Or is this mostly used by people to stick on the internet to so how good they are at policing our roads or how good they are at driving?

Most accurate response?

"You're a gobby dhead and I would have thought you would have learned your lesson from the other fella you gobbed off at, but you'll get your comeuppance one day as they all do....face smashed in, lying in the gutter mumbling "but it's all on camera...sob sob"

You see a lot of this on cyclist videos. Cyclist could very easily allow the car to pass (like all good drivers do with faster moving traffic), but they deliberately block the overtake so that they can then say it was unsafe and have a little fit about it. It's pathetic.

Or the camera. He won't be such a warrior then.

The police won't be anyway interested in 99% of the utter ste that these tossers put on YT. The videos only serve for the uploader to sit there fondling themselves down below as they watch themselves shout car registrations in a smug, haltingly nasal voice..."ABC..1..2..3..4...speeding...you're on camera giggle snort chortle"

[i] The 49-year-old lawyer said: "We were coming through a south-east London suburb when a car tried to overtake whilst we were going past a traffic island which significantly narrowed the road. We remonstrated with the driver, shouting.

"The car stopped and the driver and passenger got out and started using very threatening language and their body language was highly aggressive.

"They saw me reading the number plate and said ‘we see you have our number, now we’re effing gonna run you over'. When they drove off they clipped my right hand with a wing mirror. They stopped again, but this time the driver came over and punched me to the ground." [/i]

To sum it up...
A car came close, I screamed and swore calling him a car driver, I cried out his number, he got out and gave me a thump in my gobby mouth and I cried a lot, then took him to court....I feel bigger now. (My wife thinks I am a total wimp but she needs the money)

If the camper driver had been far enough ahead of the HGV to pull in safely, his swerve to avoid the Zafira driver wouldn't have caused the HGV driver to have to take evasive action. I've no time for genuine lane hoggers but a few people around here are so obsessed with it they're always making silly accusations of it.

Agreed. If the HGV was happy with the gap he wouldn't have felt the need to swerve. They also nearly always flash bigger vehicles back in. I get it in Disco. Also the dept of field in dashcam makes the gap look bigger than it was IRL.

Is this the next Angry Dashcam Man?
Ridiculous overreactions to minor incidents? check
Complete failure to anticipate, well, anything? Check
Drives dangerously to show his displeasure? check
Plenty of colourful, if repetitive, language? check
Lightening quick on the horn? check
Equally foul mouthed and angry mrs? check

Loses points for individual clips rather than compilations
Bonus point - is Scottish

So is punching someone to the ground your normal reaction to someone saying some naughty words and reading your numberplate?

You missed off spelling mistakes such as when he had to "break" to avoid a collision...

Hilarious! Such a terrible driver. He tries to block overtakes and then goes mental when that fails. He should be off the road, to be honest, but I doubt the police would do a thing about his driving because he is slow.

Is he in a different time zone to her? His "fking ahole" routine is so late after the "incident" it's hilarious.

Until he said "don't let him in" about the Discovery that was overtaking them. Then I wanted him to die.

I think the point where he says "in my gobby mouth" pretty much demonstrates he's talking about being the victim here ...

He looked terrified when he was just driving along, even before it all kicked off!

No excuse for the RR chavs, but the instructor handled that pretty badly as well.
