The "Sh*t Driving Caught On Dashcam" Thread
Discussion

Mr Haycox exited the roundabout at speed into the right hand lane of the A452.
Mr Haycox then attempted to undertake the vehicle I was driving at speed, aiming for the small (less than 1 car length at the time of impact) gap between the red car in the left hand lane and the vehicle I am driving in the right hand lane.
Mr Haycox failed to execute this (illegal) manoeuvre. Having seen events unfold in my left hand mirror (and commented on them) it was clear that My Haycox had completely misjudged how quickly the gap between the red car and the vehicle I was driving was closing.
Mr Haycox realises this too late, is approaching too quickly, and is unable to slow down enough before hitting the rear wing of the vehicle I am driving at 13:41:33. Note: I am in the right hand lane, as is Mr Haycox.
With Mr Haycox braking to virtually a standstill and me maintaining a constant speed, the gap between BK56 NVL and my own vehicle opens up. I begin to pull over.
My Haycox then decides to deliberately crash his vehicle into the vehicle I am driving. Mr Haycox accelerates hard, mounts the kerb, then deliberately pulls across into the vehicle I am driving so that he can try to blame me for the incident. This can be heard - and seen - on the video.
My Haycox then tries to overtake the vehicle I am driving, aiming for the gap between the vehicle I am driving and the van in the right hand lane, but having either learned from his most recent accident, or struggling to think how he might explain damage to both sides of each vehicle being my fault, backs off again.
My Haycox drops back then goes for another undertake, cutting across the front of the vehicle I am driving (whilst indicating left) and leaving both vehicles stationary in the middle lane approaching a busy junction.

does the dashcam driver say something like 'he's trying to overtake on the left' so he moves over knowing the fiesta driver is there? Also continues coming over even after the horn is sounded.
Watching it again. Yes he does so why drift over? But knowing you are hit why keep driving? I admit it can be intimidating but that would be driving off after an accident?Morningside said:

If you regard the situation as an "attack" by a group like that....then yes, drive off and call police ASAPLazadude said:

Blimey! A load of "once a year" bad driving incidents all in 2 minutes, not to mention the weird "Crash van. Run away" incident!My thoughts exactly! I don't think I'd have pulled over either.

Here is an odd one. I cannot work out if the bang you hear before the horn is them hitting them or the dashcam driver did initially drift into them or was the other driving too fast on the inside?
But what I cannot understand is why the dashcammer carries on driving without pulling over. But then again I find it very odd the other driver is asking for money.
Scam or not?
(I have no connection to either driver).

does the dashcam driver say something like 'he's trying to overtake on the left' so he moves over knowing the fiesta driver is there? Also continues coming over even after the horn is sounded.
So IMO the dashcammer could/should have avoided it but chose not to.
Fiesta driver is a bit of a knob for the 'give us some money' and 'I should drag you out the car comments'
Interesting he states that the undertake was an illegal manoeuvre, then goes and does the same on the van he was following. He and the van were also in the wrong lane as they exited the island and I wonder if that was the start of it all.
The rover drivers story also seems to be a complete fabrication. Seems to claim that the impact when he changed lanes was because the fiesta mounted the kerb , drove up the inside then veered right to hit him when it's plainly obvious he squeezed him to stop the undertake and the fiesta driver was just as bloody minded and kept coming, mounted the kerb in an attempt to hold the lane and they then both hit each other.
Both as much to blame in my opinion.

Oh, the first noise was a pot hole, you can see the van hit it, followed by the rover.

What is going off here then? Any news? Looks like the Astra and 4x4 try and block the van in, van stacks it then all occupants leg it. 4x4 driver looks to be in a hurry to get something out the back, presumably a weapon? Van occupants see weapon and leg it?Not on dashcam but needed.

Dear Audi Drivers.
Okay so you're a
and you want the world to know it. Thanks for buying an Audi. What's that? You're in your fifties and want to think you still have some virality? Well step right forward and buying an Audi convertible. People will instantly recognise you as a grade A
But wait driving an Audi convertible isn't enough for you? Okay. I get it. You need a bit of a poke in the engine department. Then the RS5 convertible is the car for you and after a career in some dreadful job you can finally afford one.
Just to make sure everyone knows what a douchebag you are please ensure that you tailgate everyone even though they are making progress and cannot pull over due to over taking other motorists. I mean please what else could make you appear a bigger tool than that?
Oh yeah -
When you get to a roundabout realise that you're a mid fifties greying overweight idiot that has clearly had ZERO experience of car control. How we laughed as I left you for dead on the roundabout and then a mile down the road see you roaring up to sit on my tail again.
Just a small couple of lessons -
1) A big, overweight Audi, no much how powerful, will never compete with a sorted sports car if its driven by a big overweight elderly idiot
2) Any idiot can go fast in a straight line - however your is still likely going to be small like a button mushroom
Kind regards

We all know the kind of driver he is talking about. I had some douche in a fast saloon that overtook me between every roundabout on a stretch of road recently (really proud of himself) and then got in my way by taking each roundabout slowly and accelerating slowly off them. Grade A nobhead in a 6 cyl diesel because he cannot afford petrol.

What he said! People who accuse others of "tailgating" are usually holding them up. In 28 years of driving, hundreds of thousands of miles all over the world, I've honestly never been what I would consider "tailgated". I occasionally see someone come up behind faster, but I am moved out of their way before they are close enough to ever been seen as "tailgating".

It depends where you live and drive. It is the norm in some parts of the country.People who accuse others of "tailgating" are usually holding them up.

Far too many people jumping out of that car taking photos for it to be legitimate
to me its the usual scenario when 2 bellends meet.
The cammer saw the antics of the fiesta and still chose to put himself in harms way. And is now hiding behind the 'illegal move' and i've got a dashcam defence.
Any decent driver would have recognised the hazard and avoided the collision.
