The "Sh*t Driving Caught On Dashcam" Thread

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.

IIRC the blue pug one was a cash for crash scam that failed when the camera evidence was shown.

Pug stopped causing the camera vehicle to stop, second vehicle ploughed into the cammer shunting them into the pug and they all claimed the camera vehicle hit the pug first.

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.

Removing the plates and doing a runner shows what type of people they are. I always give cars with Eastern European plates on a wide birth, the 'I AM GOING TO DO THIS AND YOU ARE GOING TO GET OUT OF MY WAY' driving style is very popular with them.

My neighbour is Romanian and he's written off two cars, found grey paint on the the bumper of my dads blue focus and blue paint on the side of his silver Mercedes so he clipped it while reversing out and didn't notice and his latest VW Sharan had a scrape on one of the doors after a week of his ownership. They're either mental or can't drive, or both.

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

0:32 is exactly why I try to avoid street parking at all costs these days with the rise of texting behind the wheel - assuming that's why they've driven straight on. But then you also see idiots that can't grasp the width of the vehicle with the mentality of if it is clear directly in front of their position, the car will fit.

0:32 is the one with the canpervan not undersating teh por road markings
Did you mean 0:36 where a brown car - whats it called - drives into a parked car?
Help me with 7:35 Why did the Seat come out of lane?

If that's a Vauxhall Mokka, I think that's actually Orange Rock, not brown.

"Hey fk it, I'm stopping and getting out of this car - I've had enough!"

Is there a passenger?

Stolen car possibly? Maybe she noticed a car following her for a while with a camera in the windscreen and thought the police were onto her. Either that or she was simply a drugged up nut job.

Dashcams eh?

Someones been playing too much GTA

She just hit Y - really annoying but she's not going to admit defeat and get back in ;0

I'm guessing insurance scam - somewhat undermined by dashcam?

Yes - because getting out of the moving (automatic) car you're driving and causing a pile-up is totally normal behaviour! Surely she should be done for something else then if she wasn't pissed?

Your neighbour is a bad driver - they come in all nationalities - judging people on nationality, race, sex is ignorant - please don't do it.

Travel somewhere like India or Italy and tell me how good their driving standards are.

Stereotypes: sometimes they're true.

Why does the car roll over - is it a design feature? The VW it clips looks to be mildly affected, but the Poxy-Vauxy gets properly launched...inate top-heavy SUV design or is this one worse than others?

Physics of bigger wheel hitting an anchored smaller wheel bouncing it up and the impact pulling it left and chucking all the force over the right side.

Nah, it's fact. They all drive like tossers.

Can't post the video until tomorrow night, after I've given a statement, but if you were driving like an absolute cock-socket yesterday between Wilsden and Heaton in Bradford (cue: "say no more" replies), I hope they throw the book at you when they see my footage...

First time I've genuinely been truly amazed/appalled at a driver's sheer idiocy (in real life at least - this isn't Russia after all).
