I did have quite a nice drive today from Monchengladbach back to the NL border. Free-flowing, fast and people behaved. I had a quick go at Vmax in the XC90 (125mph ish) and got passed by an RS4 followed by a GT3RS and felt like I was going backwards

A couple of years ago I was sitting on my M3's limiter and noticed something behind me. After I pulled into the centre lane, an Aventador flew past and I had the same feeling

Same here - 150mph in a (rented) TT and was left standing by some flavor of big Audi trying to do the Berliner Ring in less than 12 parsecs.

Bad driver overtakes just before a roundabout - I know, lets ride FULL PELT into the gap that wont be there when he arrives at the give way line - then ride off like a little baby

Then upload it to Youtube.

He does look like Nathan Barley...


To be fair to the cyclist it was a stty uneccesary overtake but did you really need to keep pedalling into that sitaution?

I remember that, I didn't see the actual incident but I was in the area at the time and watched the Police having a chat with both parties. The video ends before the Police had a chat with the cyclist and he starts waving his arms around at them in frustration.

(I know of the cyclist but don't know him personally and it is not the guy who uploaded it to Youtube).

PS,. some quality footage posted this week guys (I only come on here once week), do keep it up. The ranting cyclist vs the Volvo video and "sewer rats" comment made my day!

Cracking effort. Even more so if he had a washing machine in the back.

Soon after...

Are we all getting a bit too immune to all this
That was someone on a bike crashing into a car- ok it looks his fault but wheres our concern about whether or not he's ok

To be fair it does say in the article he was released from hospital later that day.

For clarity, I never said I was unsympathetic. But I struggle with full sympathy for people when they get into situations through their own rank stupidity. I should point out that walking from Farringdon station to my office on Clerkenwell road is like Death Race 2000 thanks to the cyclists round this way, so my view may be a tad tainted!

Video titled "How NOT to fit a wiper blade" when the reality is that the wiper is fitted correctly, but the mechanism appears to be somewhat broken..

Or perhaps the wiper arm is incorrectly fitted

How would that change the sweep?

Instead of sweeping from 9 -> 12 -> 3 it's sweeping 9 -> 6 -> 3 ('o clock)

And you wouldn't remove the arm to replace a wiper blade anyway?

Seriously? Loosen the nut and swing the wiper arm round 180 degrees...

That was mine, I caught that driving to work last Friday. A Viral Video company from the US has paid me money to allow them sell the clip to TV shows round the world...and I get 70% from whatever they make! Who would of thought you could make money from having a daschcam.....apart from that bell end Matt Stockdale.

Did anyone look at the comments section?

There's a couple from 'Lance Armstrong', who has a picture of Uphillfreewheeler as his avtar.

Has this one been posted? Few days old but basically footage from the cab of a lorry involved in a fatal on the M53.
Lorry driver gets 2.5 years inside. Pretty shocking incident to say the least.
