Pulls out right in the path of a car. But not to blame.

See how long this comment on there lasts:

Apparently it wasn't actually clear to the right.

But I'm sure you'll delete this comment just like all the others you delete that point out when YOU'RE in the wrong or trangress the Highway Code.

Coward.

Comment(s) gone.

In any case, since when does one determine (and commit) that the road is clear 10 - 15ft *before* the junction?

People drive their cars like that too. Terrible. At 15 seconds the red car can be seen, and he can easily stop.

Did the red car which drove past the horses do anything wrong? Looked like a NSL so 60mph was appropriate and it seemed to give them plenty of room. Surely if the horse would have got spooked at that, it shouldn't have been on the road.

"Looked like a NSL so 60mph was appropriate"

You sir, need to hang up your keys, lock yourself away and have a damn good think about your attitude towards driving. Because currently your attitude is the exact reason why horses and their riders get killed by ignorant and selfish drivers.

I'm not going to argue the toss whether horses should or shouldn't be out on the public roads, what I will say though is that if you think 60mph past a pair of horses is an acceptable way in which to pilot a motor car, you seriously need a wake up call mate.

This is over the top. Ignorance, yes, but not selfish. What can a horse cope with? 50? 40? 30? Crawl past it at 10mph? Now that I think about it I honestly do not know. And faced unexpectedly with that situation, would I necessarily have made the right decision there and then? Not sure. Do I need to give up driving too?

Sitting here at my desk, and now that you've pointed it out, 60 sounds stupid, yes. But when you're there and then in the situation, and if you never come accross horses on the road or considered that they might freak out, I can easily imagine passing at a speed that I now realise someone else might tell me I need to give up driving for.

So thanks for the wake up call. Hopefully, if I ever come accross a horse, I'll remember it.

I pass horses frequently (my route to work passes 2 or 3 stables), around 20-30 is generally fine on a two-lane road. Slower on single track, usually more like 10-15 (and you have to wait for them to find a place to stop to let you pass).

and often a Milf with great legs, a nice smile and a hit of hay !

[All that jazz]

Horses should be in fields or race tracks, not roads, so passing them at 60mph seems perfectly fine to me as hopefully the rider will st themself that much that they'll stick to riding them in fields where they belong.

I'm sure there are exceptions but I find horse riders to be generally cheery and accommodating people who appreciate courtesy and do their best to stay out of other people's way.

If you go to Middleham in Yorkshire there are a few racehorse stables in the village and every morning the horses are ridden up the road past the castle to the gallops on the hill to be exercised. I've seen some numpties there such as two guys in an Astra van accelerate hard past a whole group of horses and riders. Hit one of those horses and, aside from the animal welfare issue, it'll be costing you quite a few thousand pounds.

People taking horses onto the road are a fking menace. If they can't handle traffic driving along at a completely appropriate speed for the road they are travelling on then they should fk right off into a field somewhere where they can impersonate a Police officer and lay massive piles of steaming ste well out of every other s way.

Likewise Smog-Monkeys should stay off country roads as they have no clue how to even go round a blind corner in their st box company car : or, that not all of us in the UK are aggressive wkers who think life is a fking rush with everybody and every thing getting in their way....

Was just about to post that and see what the thoughts of PH are. Whilst the HGV driver's actions are utterly moronic and an advert for dash cams (convenient given the gentleman's line of business ) I do wonder what happened leading up to the footage we saw.

[Oldandslow]

Thinking likewise. We're not seeing the real start of this. What we do see is a middle lane hogger not overtaking anything with his hazard lights on. Not condoning a HGV going to lane 3 and clouting him but on balance I'd bet he did his utmost to provoke a reaction and wet himself when he got it.

Uhoh. It's him again.

for the first 5 seconds of the video when seeing the rear view, you can see the dashcammers hazard lights reflecting in the front body work of the lorry when it beeps him.
I would be interested to see the video running up to this point, I think the dashcammer has left something out,the lorry in lane 1 is gaining on him - proper MLM

All the typical signs of another dashcam wk3r
- Edited footage - what happened before this, he obviously did something to ps off the lorry driver?
- Why is he doing less than 50mph (lorry sailed past him) in lane 2 when lane 1 is clear?
- Why is he not in lane 1 where he should have been all along?
- If an articulated lorry is swerving at you at 50mph would you not get the fu(k out of the way for your own safety especially when lane 1 is and had been clear for a long time,
- Re his claim for whiplash, it should be thrown out for not mitigation (and lorry driver should also be put off the road).
- Take the dashcam away and he would have acted very difficult

Mr Stockdale, who runs a dashcam company, followed the lorry to a depot in Dunstable where an ambulance took him to hospital with neck and shoulder pain.

How convenient!
