then what is that in L3 @2:10 ....a pink elephant ?
2:10! laugh



Should be moving to L3 at 2:02 really. At that time there is almost no closing speed and it's 50+ metres behind.

It's sad that there's so many inconsiderate incompetent drivers posting on this thread.

Talking CRAP Sir:

2:04, estate at end of hatchings

2:05/6 Estate moves into L1.....car in L3 is IN vision (on a little camera) & closing fast, it would have to of braked sharply if L2 pulls out into L3.
2:10. L3 car fully PAST L2 car

Laugh all you like but I would not of jumped into L3 as it would of endangered me and the closing car.

lanes 2/3 are OVERTAKING lanes, joining a motorway you merge and do not cut across two lanes you chump

Why the fk would you move to lane 3 when someone is joining the motorway?

If we're talking about what people should be doing, the Insignia should have been patient.

I agree, closing speed of the car in lane 3 would have kept me in lane 2 however you can see whats about to occur so perhaps the camcar should have lifted off the throttle and let the chap drift across. Crap driving, merge with traffic then overtake when safe to do so, he just failed his driving test (had he been taking one...) I'm guessing something was distracting him like the twt on my side of the road today driving towards me and as he passes I see he's grinning into his phone, fking cook sooker

I am pretty sure this was an example of good driving as the bad guy was probably a cop too. We get lots of plod training around J6 of the A1, this seemed to be an exercise. Just up the road the traffic car holding us in a rolling roadblock picked up someone with a deployed fake stinger, leaving me at the head of the queue of traffic with 3 miles of police clear motorway in an....electric car. I managed 89.9 leptons.

The car they were chasing was an Octavia so almost defo a plod car. Sounds pretty standard, stop traffic to make a sterile area to attempt TPAC

The driver in lane 3 maybe saw what was coming and held back to allow the camera car driver to move out. The camera car driver either didn't see it coming, did see it coming and preferred to create a conflict for the camera or was aware of traffic coming up behind him in the outside lane and wasn't sure in the heat of the moment if he could safely pull out in front of it.

Either way, the Insignia driver had already joined the motorway and had no need to move out in that moment except he was too impatient to just slow behind the lorry and wait to overtake safely.

On the subject of roundabouts, got behind a bloke driving up Anderson Drive in Aberdeen, numerous roundabouts, all with 4 junctions, he was going from 6 to 12 same as me.

On every fekking roundabout he approached with right indicator on, and as he passed 9 changed to a left indicator.

And I hate a newish trend I have noticed as you are about to enter the roundabout, some fekker comes around at maximum leptons which means you have literally no warning a car is coming your way.

Aberdeen and you've just noticed this? I had to totally recalibrate my driving expectations the first few times in Aberdeen - I think folk just drive 50% quicker and accelerate a fair amount harder driving

Aberdeen is the worst place to drive.

Cars travel the full length on Anderson Drive on the outside lane and are continously in the wrong lane at roundabouts. What you seen is standard practice.

However using the roundabout at the bottom of Wellington Road over the bridge they all use the left lane to turn right.

It's something else how they all follow each other like sheep. smile

Simiod, No, I haven't just noticed this, been driving up here for over 30 years.

Driver101, are you saying drivers shouldn't be using L2 for going straight over, I do hope not.

I put that across badly. It's not the wrong lane, but it's the fact they feel they must be in lane 2. They won't return to the left hand lane when the road is empty.

That is true, I often pass those in L2 and that's at 40. What bugs me when you come cross the bridge at Bridge of Dee heading north and intend turning left towards Sainsbury's, some buggers come around from Anderson drive also going to Sainsbury's and change lanes half way round from preventing you making your turn into an empty lane. Oh well. That's Aberdeen for you.

I worked in Aberdeen in the late 90s and it was the first time I'd regularly see people indicating right as they left a r'about.

One of the lads I worked with said they were the worst drivers in Britain, he was a local!

Can't make out the first one, (0.24) guy in a lane with a white arrow for straight on, as he crosses the junction, the lane he is heading to has an arrow coming his way?
