"Warwickshire Police has released footage from a dashboard camera of the moment a lorry ploughs into cars on the A46 in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Driver Martin Gibson, 54, of Bathurst Road, Gloucester, pleaded guilty to five counts of dangerous driving and was jailed for 15 months on Friday 20 May.
The other drivers in the six-vehicle crash in May 2015 were seriously hurt."

Think he got off lightly with that sentence. It looked like it should have been in Moscow with such a bad standard of driving

Not exactly dash cam, but a recording whilst driving like a cock....

"A boy racer filmed himself doing 108mph with one hand on the wheel while streaming the footage live on the internet."

and naturally...“I am really, really sorry but I still think I am a safe driver.”
"Mike Bristow, of road safety charity Brake, said: “It’s a miracle no one was hurt or killed."

Good job Brake exist otherwise we won't have anyone to deliver such insightful comments.

I'd swear those Russian drivers are playing a game of "close your eyes and see how far you can get before your crash". Mental.

Lots of unnecessary horn use, and anger at stuff that happens every day.

I particularly liked Steven Bagwell's clip at about 3.30. Bimbling along in lane 2 with lane 1 deserted, and going absolutely bat st mental when someone overtakes him: "pull over! Pull over!"

Bell end.
Where do I find this Bagwells YouTube channel?

Yeah I know, when I got one it was a bit of a novelty but if someone smashes into me (or I want PH to analyse my use of the horn) I'll save something. Otherwise I don't care if it gets overwritten or not.

When you start driving around looking for things to upload you end up driving into situations, like 50% of the UK driving compilations where these lemmings just totally drive blind into anything that comes into their path.
That's why mine's set to save by default using it's internal accelerometer to detect when there's an impact, I can't actually remember when I last pressed 'save', and the only piece of footage I've taken off it (A micra spinning off on a roundabout) was only still there as was almost home and as I use the internal memory it only stores about an hour

Exposed: UK Dash Cams #11

A couple of cammers causing the problems, some hair raisers and the lunatic Mr Bagwell makes an appearance. hehe
Jeez a lot of those incidents could've been avoided if the cammers didn't react or behave stupidly

Do iot, you might be lucky of a response if you politely point out he shouldn't be on the road.

The whole video is worth a watch, £££s of damage, but I wonder if this guy claimed on insurance to get his seat cleaned:

No footage, but a followup
http://www.thisiswiltshire.co.uk/news/14509329.Hus...

HAVING had his day in court facing a number of road rage incidents a man then took to social media to make offensive remarks about one of his victims.

Seeing the comments that Michael Crossley made about his wife, Dean Dixon of Mir Crescent took matters into his own hands and caused more than £1,000 of damage to the car that had been at the centre of the court proceedings.

Last month 31-year-old Crossley, of Deneb Drive, was convicted at trial for five offences, including throwing a fistful of coins at a woman's Kia Sportage when she refused to back up to let him pass and shunting his neighbour's car out of the way with his van. He denied any wrong-doing throughout.

Crossley was given a community order, told to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work, pay court costs of £775 and pay £575 compensation for the damage to the Kia.

In court on Wednesday District Judge Simon Cooper heard that none of the compensation had yet been paid, although he did point out that Crossley had until today to pay it.

Vyvyan Thatcher, prosecuting, told the court that in the early hours of the morning 37-year-old Dixon had gone to Crossley's address after he discovered comments had been made on social media by Crossley about his wife.

When he refused to come outside and speak to him Dixon broke both of the wing mirrors on his 14-plate BMW 335.

Defending Dixon, Wayne Hardy told the court that his client had bottled up his anger and unfortunately then gone out and had too much to drink.

District Judge Cooper imposed a restraining order against Dixon for a period of 12 months and described the incident as "a foolish and stupid thing to do".

He received a conditional discharge for 12 months and was ordered to pay compensation of £1,200 to Crossley for the damaged wing mirrors.

£600 per mirror?! Jesus, no wonder insurance premiums are so high.
