Oh god this guy. I love the fact he bhes and complains all through the video about people running yellow lights (which you are meant to do...) then he slams on the anchors needlessly at a yellow light at the end and causes a minor accident.

No you're not.

You are, if you're so close to it that to stop might cause an accident like dashcam boy was when he decided to slam his brakes on. Still the fault of the person behind really, you should always leave distance to be able to stop but still the point stands that he could have quite legitimately gone through on that amber. I certainly wouldn't have stopped for it if there had been traffic behind me.

Only a couple of minor things; a car cuts across three lanes on a roundabout, then a car totally blocks me trying to carry on round the roundabout, (and the cheeky tt to the side of her tries the same), but this type of thing happens every single day on this roundabout, (the Redbridge roundabout on the A12 if you know it). The standard of driving in London is abysmal and most of the many traffic holdups are because of twunts like these. Get rid of the crappy drivers and traffic flow would improve hugely.

After driving down from Sheffield, that roundabout was the first one I used when I drove in London for the first time; the perfect eye-opener for a novice who'd never experienced London traffic before.

A real one
The blue car was alrady established so no problem with easing off for it vs driving into the side
The black car was half way out so probably let that go too. Only takes a few seconds and the rest of the day it's good to feel youve done someone a favour, if it's even memorable.

Probably why everyone else is sticking to lane 2 for the A12 then (in spite of both lanes 1 and 2 being labelled A12).

So is this going to turn in to a dashcam wker thread ?

If so, I have a nomination: https://youtu.be/_0iODbJik3E

Be warned, language is absolutely terrible, so definitely NSFW or if little people are around.

Oh and wait for the end

^that guy is hilarious, think he might actually be the biggest wker of all the youtube dashcam brigade.

Some people seriously need to sit back and take a look at themselves and become a little less angry, that guy and his wife were the biggest nobbers of the lot; fancy getting that angry about people jumping reds, people making mistakes and people being in the wrong lane, chill out you "s"!

Well here is my contribution caught on camera tonight. The Clio driver blatantly knew what he was doing, tried to ram me off the road and block an overtake after I wanted out.
All because he cut me up, I never even gave him the horn(no inuendo intended)
The Clio comes into play at the roundabout but I started the video before to show there was no previous provocation. I let him overtake because I thought he was on some power trip and that he would f**k off. I was wrong.

The guy in the Clio is clearly a cretinous . After the first incident I would've taken a different exit to him and avoided all of what came after. I'd also be reporting him to the Police for dangerous driving.

In hindsight I agree. It just isn't worth it.
After I overtook him the first time I saw him racing up behind straddling both lanes so I knew he was going for an overtake. I lifted off, he went past and I thought that was the end of it. How wrong was I.

What were you driving Barker?

[SeeFive]

Given the potential offences evidenced in your driving after you got past the idiot, you may want to remove video 2 from the Internet pdq, or at least remove the portion of it after you passed the Clio.

I am not having a go, just trying to stop you from getting nicked by some jobsworth who will not appreciate that you felt your safety was in doubt, and would feel that you could have taken alternative approach rather than driving away the way you did.

Clio driver needs removing from the road at least. Totally uncalled for.

A clio 182, so I had the power there, just the wrong gear at one point!
A car that likes high revs, as you can see it take off once it gets going.

Video removed by the user?

[coppice]

So...our unpaid vigilante people's army think that person A should report person B because person B drove badly. Person A also drove illegally and the advice is that the self incriminating footage which person A's dashcam showed should be removed . You really couldn't make this crap up. I ask again- why are we obsessed with filming each other and showing the results in public ? What strange need is driving this- 5 minutes of 'fame' ? Self righteousness?

Just stop it - you are turning UK into North Korea- the only country with more CCTV that we have.

Yes, he did say that. Not sure what point you're making here?

I think the comments *were* actually the truck driver although he says not

You created the situation by not reading the road. It was clear to you (although not so much so for us viewing what that potato has recorded... ) that he was gaining on the truck quite fast and he was clearly signalling his desire to overtake it. You could've easily backed off and let him go as the speed differential between them would see him past in 5 seconds as per the film, but instead you decided to argue with something many sizes bigger and heavier and it didn't end well for you. Of course he shouldn't have pulled out anyway but you deliberately put yourself in that position knowing what might happen. Not much sympathy here I'm afraid.
