5:12 The way he keeps edging over, pretty sure he knew exactly what he was doing.
6:40 You don't want to do that!
7:40 Every time I see a Fiat 500, they are always being driven as ineptly as this one.
what happens to the clio driver then, lorry either didnt notice or care, left the scene, did someone stop to hand over the reg of lorry, did they chase him down?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRjCeEnGyF8

Police speeding in a residential area, in the wet...but its okay because they've got blue lights.
I hope I'm due a whoosh but are you serious? Turning right there is difficult at the best of times, its a steep uphill pull-away just before the crest of a hill meaning that you see nothing before it is on top of you and (for a FWD car) you can't get traction to pull away quickly.

That makes it even more stupid of the driver to pull out while their line of sight is blocked, rather than waiting literally moments for a clear line of sight.https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.3903335,0.099756...
There would still have been a collision if there was any vehicle behind the van.
Could have been really nasty, perhaps our HGV guys can explain if there is a way to handle this, get out of it. The road train driver doesn't seem to be going excessively quickly

"At the start of the video a Vauxhall Corsa and BMW vie for position". Well there's a surprise!I think the penalties for such aggressive and violent behaviour should be severe - perhaps take their car away and crush it, a fine of £1,000 and a 6-month suspended jail sentence.
On a kind of related note, there's been an alarming increase in some drivers carrying things like baseball bats in their cars. I've actually had one driver wave one at me a few years ago when he undertook me! It appears that having a baseball bat is standard equipment in some countries.

See this around London all the time - people driving vans like they're in a car, rather than adjust their driving to compensate for what they're actually in!TazLondon said:

It's not a new thing, many years ago I came face to face with a private hire driver at one of these, where I had priority.
He got out, walked to my drivers window and produced a stanley knife, so I produce my mobile phone, this was when these were still quite uncommon and made it clear I was about to call the Police. He scurried back to his car and pulled onto the pavement. There was a car(s) behind me otherwise I would still have called them, but to my shamed I bowed to social pressure and cleared the road and drove on.

Drive to the conditions, have decent tyres. Looks to me as if speed was the main cause, back started to overtake the front. Bit like a spin in a car?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AybNzLz4cxw

Few I hadn't seen here. Most of them I have. Supercars only. Schadenfreude.
