What a non event. I find it amazing that this sort of "st driving" gets posted on line, some people need to get a life.

You're new to this thread, aren't you?

Another driver who wants to passive aggressively police the roads by sitting in the right hand lane. Says he braked to avoid a collision.... bullst.

Ditto. Prat no doubt sitting there at 70 for miles knowing the Lambo was there.

Cam car was in the right hand lane too long.

I make the mistake of popping in now and again most days It makes you wonder what the lives of those posting this rubbish must be like.

Followed by pages and pages if inane arguments re who was right and who was wrong, complete with google earth maps, diagrams etc.

I love it

Edited to add, I have just seen somebody has posted the same thing re inane arguments of the knob thread

He wasn't really though, was he? There was a fairly consistent lane of traffic in the left hand lane and the camera car was doing a fair speed in excess of that lane - it's not like he was only gaining a miniscule amount on each vehicle in the left lane, nor were the gaps between (most) vehicles massive. The only gap that was really sensible for him to move into was the one after the van, after the Lambo had gone past. The Lambo driver wanted to press on, fair enough; he saw a gap and went for it, no drama, but the camera car was doing nothing wrong.

Difficult call, but I'd disagree. Wide-angle cameras make the distances seem a lot greater.

Also, Lambo went past at around 100MPH and was cutting into the cam cars line quite aggressively when the undertake was barely complete.

Knowing there was a faster car behind me, I would have pulled into the gap which he was passing when the Lambo passed him.

But that's just me...

I think cammers are at fault (wholly or partly) in at least 50% of the clips in those compilations. Worrying that they all think they are in the right.

Do we think they drove this badly before they had the camera or is it the camera that makes them create a problem? I wonder if they are justifying the cost.

I probably would have done the same as you in that situation.

ETA: watching it again, it's not clear whether the Lambo had only just encountered the camera car and took the opportunity available; there's nothing to suggest the Lambo had been waiting behind for any length of time.

I suspect the Lambo closed on him pretty fast. Unless his mirror checks were very frequent it could have "appeared out of nowhere".

If there's something closing that rapidly I'd be very reluctant to make a sudden lane change anyway, in case they are daft enough to undertake...

I agree. No hugely strong evidence of poor driving. Slightly unfortunate for the bloke. I'd have been irritated with myself if I'd been caught out by that. Impossible to judge without a rear view.

Firstly skip the first 90% of the clip as it's a non event

And what's with "The speed limit's 30mph so I accelerate to 38mph just to 'get up to speed'"

Perhaps, but the Lambo took the best part of 10 seconds to disappear from view ahead, so there's no reason to think that he would not have been visible behind for a similar amount of time.

Besides, unless he was fortunate enough to encounter that gap at exactly the right moment, chances are good that he would have had to have slowed down behind - possibly for quite a while.

[anonymous-user]

Most people have real trouble keeping to 30mph limits like both the Audi and biker. I regularly see a long line of cars behind me when I am going through a 30 as so many will do 40mph and reach the back of my 30mph road train

Good point - that raises the question of how often you should check your mirrors! Obviously it depends on what you see in them, but... The only figure I found was someone saying "every 5 to 8 seconds is ideal". On that basis he could been checking 'ideally' and gone from (T-10) no Lambo to (T-2) one that's two seconds away from undertaking him.
