The people that complain about other drivers being slightly hesitant or lane indecisive or wrong, are inevitably the same people that complain about other drivers not making allowances for them when they are in a strange town with a messy road layout!

dodgy overtake especially as wifey moved over and left a big gap for the car to pull into.

Road Rage between BMW and Ambulance.

No idea, just saw it and it seems recent.

BMW guy is crazy for stopping dead in the motorway and then they were both daft weaving around. However, I'm astounded by the other drivers approaching at speed and just picking a lane either side of these weaving idiots. If there is a car stopped in the motorway in front of you, FFS slow down a lot please!

At least you were on your way to Waitrose and not Asda. You'd have had to edit out the end of the clip otherwise.

Why did you keep accelerating towards the idiot when he joined the roundabout? Classic cammer behaviour to make a close call out of a nothing incident.

A badly driven car pulled out in front of you and rather than just slowing down and getting on with your journey you drove at them and blew your horn? Two wrongs don't make a right.

Forgive me because I have only had around 4 hours sleep in the last 48 hours so my tolerance meter is about ready to fuse.

As I sat from the hours of 2am to 5am in the gloaming I decided to take a look at many dashcam inspired videos. They are usually entitled "Look at this utter idiot" or "BAD driving in Hampshire" which is amusing before you even start watching.

However onto my point. Invariably the drivers behind these dashcam videos are utter censored. Many seem angry with the world due to their own failings. Some seem to go all out to create an incident for the opportunity to post it on Youtube which makes you wonder if they were breastfed as babies. Others are just pillocks - the type that will speak loudly through the adenoids in the pub about some "hilarious" event in the dull, pitiful and ultimately pointless lives they lead.

My solution is simple - anyone with a dashcam that posts these types of videos should be shot. That may seem extreme so for balance I would also shoot the ever increasing number of bad drivers. This would obviously include anyone that drives an Audi.

Not only would the roads be safer but they would also be a damn sight emptier with me in charge.

But it's interesting watching! TBF a fair amount of the vids on here do involve totally unavoidable events from the pov of the camera car.

Absolutely. Saw that a mile off, no need to do the late brake and lean on the horn.

As mentioned above this is classic dashcam behaviour. I wonder how you'll react to these comments, hopefully you'll take the criticism on board and use it to moderate your driving behaviour.

To be fair, isn't it up to you to find something better to do with your life (or sleep?). Perhaps think of a less suitable user name? smile

Same. I drive now assuming everyone else is a blind , I don't get angry - I pity the fools. As a result I am much calmer, and have never had an accident since the big one, after which I attended a driver improvement course. It was actually rather good, and taught me a lot.

It wasn't that bad. Yes, saintly behaviour would have been to lift off and make nothing of it. The Rav4 driver deserved the honk and if we're lucky they'll stop dithering out on to roundabouts and expecting other people to accomodate them. Literally everyone here has at some point continued on their intended speed and course and braked late to make a point.

I was just about to post the same.

That's the thing with these dash cameras, people are trying to make more of an incident than it is.

Even of reflection of the video, they still can't see sense.

Someone putting me in that much danger in the middle of a motorway? I'd genuinely have rammed him and kept going. The risk of being hit there was horrendous and I hope the tt in the BMW gets a visit from the Police. What the fk is wrong with some people?
