I love seeing trucks/buses really going for it - such a rare sight nowadays. On trips to Ireland when I was young we'd often get overtaken by old Irish registered Scanias doing 80+ to catch the ferry, was quite a spectacle.

Why would you call him that? He made an error and crashed. Very strange comment.
What, you mean nearly mowing down a pedestrian for his actions?

Righto.

There does appear to be cars in lane 1 & 2 ahead of him, so not lane hogging.

No, I mean that he made a mistake when he came around the corner.

I watched a section of the Finland WRC last night and one of the drivers crashed quite near to some spectators.

What a W.....r, I screamed at the TV.

Sorry it's upside down. Note truck is in lane 3 and doing over 70mph!
If Lane 1 is not continuing on the m'way then the hgv is in the right.

I can categorically state the truck was never doing over 70 mph, as your speedo seems to confirm.

Odd red light jumper, clearly if you shampoo dogs you can't keep them or their owners waiting, for red lights!

If you watch carefully they flash their lights and decide they aren't waiting any longer only to meet head on traffic.

Don't know why you would do this when advertising your business.

Julies mobile dog wash, taunton somerset.

What is "anouther", I see no reason to go they saved about 30secs, flashing lights clearly Can't be bothered to wait.

Why sign write and drive like a twunt.

I am sure you don't mind red light jumpers the Dave? No danger jumping red lights?

Some douchebag driving from 'murica.

(NSFW as a bit sweary at times. Unfortunately the swearing doesn't sound as funny as the Aussie videos).

Looked to me like those lights were bust or incorrectly set up. Loooong wait, car in front finally flashes oncoming traffic saying "come on, then". Oncoming car doesn't move, so he makes a perfectly reasonable decision to go through the red.

And why did you then flash your lights at the waiting car just before the lights changed? Trying to encourage them to go through the red for a bit more footage?

Just a genuine question, how do you know it's not a motorway?

Do the speed cameras give it away, or you know where it is?

No my understanding was flashing of the lights can sometimes help the sensor on the lights in front of me detect a car. It may be an old wives tale I don't know. I don't think the cars that far away would act on a light flash. Changed when I moved up, may of been the offending cars position was not close enough to trip the sensor. Certainly I pulled up and it went no issue, I accept the tm is baldy set up but it's a narrow lane and used by local police to access station.

No reason to jump the lights.

Old wives tale about flashing lights. Having been on a signing, lighting and guarding course a couple of years ago (essentially how to put up temporary lights) the sensor box on the top responds to movement not light, that's why it's often better to approach the lights quickly then brake, than to roll up at walking pace.
