The "Sh*t Driving Caught On Dashcam" Thread
Discussion
Nah. The lead car deliberately blocked the Fiesta. It's typical driving on our roads, and the guy should see serious jail time (but won't of course because he wasn't speeding). The fact that the Fiesta was being driven badly is no excuse for doing something aimed at causing a high speed incident and, as it turned out, serious accident.

I'd would have said panic last night but looking at this on a bigger screen and that looks like a deliberate and dangerous block to me.
The white car just drives through that zero visibility cloud of dust though having just seen a crash. Could have been bits of car everywhere.
I think you're right. On small tablet screen it looked completely innocent but on a big screen that looks a bit suspicious. At best he's inadvertently blocked the undertake and then driven off from the carnage behind but having watched it again I think he blocked the impatient Fiesta and drove off from the accident he caused.The white car just drives through that zero visibility cloud of dust though having just seen a crash.

White car is pure days of thunder!

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?
The brown car clip starts at 0:30 never mind 0:32 if you wan to be pedantic.Did you mean 0:36 where a brown car - whats it called - drives into a parked car?

He has a point, in a minor collision, the car is thrown onto it's side. Airbags/belts are mostly designed assuming the car stays upright which is should do unless it ends-up going down embankments or the like.
All the hubbub about the original SMART/A-Class 'elk-test' and it seems a Mokka falls-over in what amounts to a common incident of 'clipping another car' (see also cars pulling into your path/bollards/traffic islands etc.)
Someone should ask Vauxhall if they have a comment to make on their cars apparently quite scary lack of stability???

Actually if you look at it on full screen the leading car does actually start to pull over, Fiesta goes for the undertake just as he does this and hence ensuing carnage!
There's a tap of the brakes from the car ahead, and it moves back out to the outside lane as soon as it blocks the Fiesta. The Fiesta was being a t
t but the car ahead was by no means innocent.Fiesta hoons up to back of lead car
Lead car pulls out of way at same time Fiesta goes for undertake
Lead car thinks 's
t, he's coming on the inside' and moves back into lane 2Crash

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).
Did we ever get a video after this massive tease?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).

Funniest thing is the muppets get out and video the faces and number plates of all their racing mates.
Still my be too difficult for Plod round here, though I imagine a few parents getting surprise visits about letting their lads drive the family car

I saw it as:
Fiesta hoons up to back of lead car
Lead car pulls out of way at same time Fiesta goes for undertake
Lead car thinks 'st, he's coming on the inside' and moves back into lane 2
Crash
I think the Fiesta went for the inside because the car ahead was starting to brake (why?) and the second the Fiesta lost control the other car went back out to the outside lane (again, why?). Some dodgy driving there.Fiesta hoons up to back of lead car

See the quote below, the Mokka is no more unusual or likely to flip than any other car in that type of scenario, it's the laws of physics innit He has a point, in a minor collision, the car is thrown onto it's side.
