The first clip; is the driver of the dashcam car swearing and losing it because of what the VW Camper has done because as as far as I can tell the Camper was totally in the right as it was ahead and in its lane, the dashcam car hadn't read the signs and road properly, or is he moaning about the cones suddenly being there?

It was on a few pages back, the lanes move over due to the road works, watch the studs in the road.

0:32 total moron, but 0:46 is something else!! Hope the merc driver got the book thrown at him.

Just saying to someone I'm not sure I'd have kept my hands to myself after that... utter prat who shouldn't be on the roads.

All three lanes moved over to use the shoulder as lane one camper in lane one did it correctly vw camper did not follow the markings as he should watch it again and watch the camper in lane 1.

Terrible driving from both. The cammer had no clue what was going on and was hanging out in the camper's blind spot. If you drive alongside another car at a transition point, you're asking for an incident.

That Merc driver shows the utmost arrogance by just standing there and not even bothering to make sure the other person is ok. How good anyone cause an accident like that and then just stand around as though it wasn't their fault?

Simple. The kind of people who drive like that don't give a st about anyone else; if they did, they wouldn't drive like that. Self-selected to then deny responsibility and act like a when the inevitable happens.

I was expecting the merc driver to be in a police chase. But no, he had his kids in the car! I like the bloke that at least said to him "you fking pratt; you're an idiot - stupid. You've got kids in the car..."

wonder if the kid was strapped in. My guess (judging by the speed and ease he lifted him out the back).....no.

That took a few goes for me, if you look closely there are temporary lane markers. Keep an eye on what the mobile home thing does in the left lane as that then moves over into what would usually be the hard shoulder. Camper just blindly stayed in the lane ignoring the temporary markers.
It looks like a bad merge on the camera cars part but really the camper is drifting into another lane.

Yep, seen it now; thanks.

I take it you missed the sign showing the lanes moving over the left and the temporary lane markings?

I think it was posted on here a little while back. The whole video shows the passenger get out, pull the number plates off and disappear. Think both driver and passenger were foreign.

0:32 total moron...

Something like that happened outside my next-door neighbour's house.

Usually, any cars are parked on the opposite side of the road, where there are no houses, but on this occasion my neighbour had builders in and they had parked their van on the "wrong" side of the road while unloading (nothing was parked on the other side of the road, so there was plenty of room to pass). A bloke who lives further into the estate, on his way to work, just drove smack into the front of the van. He didn't brake, or attempt to avoid the collision in any way.

He looked very confused when he stepped out of his Corsa.

I remember the one in the video happening - it's on Salterton Road in Exmouth and there are always cars parked there, not quite sure how they didn't notice them!

Silver Merc overtaking round a bend AND a traffic island is an ahole.

Blue Pug 308 is an even bigger ahole for stopping in the outside lane. Sure he was perhaps a bit close but that's no excuse for stopping dead in his tracks. No doubt he would have got away scott free with a hefty whiplash payout without the camera.

If her message was that she didn't want to get hit from behind, it kind of backfired on her.

Weve seen some of those before, I had to run it at 0.25 speed
Can somebody say what happened at 7:35?

I had just about the same today but luckily managed to avoid - just

Driving along minding my own business with a car ( didnt notice what type) and a range rover behind it coming the other way
As I approach the range rover begins to move out , I think to perform an overtake after I'm out of the way.
It doesn't wait though
I suddenly realise it's out half way across my side the road

Nothing for it but to put two wheels on the verge (just like an earlier video with a truck here)

I was certain it was going hit my back end as it continued to pull out as it went past but it must have missed by millimetres
In my mirror I see it pull back in behind the car I thought it was trying to overtake (or was it)

So what did happen at 7:35 - was it an overtake or playing with phone / bag of sweets?

It's cultural. Eastern Europeans can be the nicest people in the world to people they know. To strangers they are nonchalant about life. In a crash like that he would be more shocked about his precious car, even though it was his fault, than the poor lady he hit.

I was asked to do holiday cover for another manager at a different business division. 85% of the workers are Poles and 10% were other EE. The disregard for others is staggering and I've refused to go back there.
