Nothing of note really, Urbanracer is a cocksmith but there is a lovely old Volvo at the start
The little pest at the end needed squashing between the 2 vehicles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H7DoscPbEg

The RR was in the wrong lane, mistakes happen, yes it was probably on purpose to get a jump on the line of cars, but that is all that I can see that was wrong, is it really necessary for it to be pulled over!That to me looked like a deliberately aggressive move on the part of the RR driver to force his way through. If he'd made a mistake he should have indicated and moved out safely if possible or made the left turn and turned around later.
It wouldn't be a one off either, it would be part of a habit of aggressive and selfish driving of the sort that eventually leads to accidents. More so than things like lane hogging which we complain about on here but are really little more than an inconvenience. If he gets away with that today, tomorrow he'll probably be overtaking into oncoming traffic while going round the wrong side of a traffic island. We can't complain about a lack of police on the roads and then expect police officers to turn a blind eye to aggressive driving when they see it.
Someone driving like that I would say is more likely to have something wrong with his car or drugs on him or be under the influence of alcohol than someone just driving along normally.

We don't know that he was pulled over for being in the wrong lane. Could have been wanted for any number of reasons.
Exactly. I don't think he was pulled over for some minor traffic issue- he was probably in that lane to avoid the old bill seeing him as they drive past on the other side.They are probably known to the police and they wanted a chat!

Or they're limited to 56mph and the average speed cameras will not nab you at 56mph
"The cameras won't nab you at 56" isn't much of a defence when the limit is 50 for a reason, usually temporarily narrowed lanes, no hard shoulder or people working in the area. I don't mind pushing on when appropriate but have made it a rule to not get aggressive around people who are driving at the legal limit. eatontrifles said:
Or when your speedometer says 56mph, you're actually doing less. In average speed zones I turn on the GPS speed display in my dash and set cruise to 56 on the speedometer which is actually 50mph by GPS. The truckers know this, they all have GPS navigation devices so they just keep their foot buried.
This clip is totally the truckers fault by the way - and you can see that as soon as the wagon clips the car he moves back to L2 so he's aware of the incident.
When my speedometer is stating 50 I'm actually doing around 53mph. No idea why but may have something to do with the aftermarket wheels/tyres a previous owner has fitted. This clip is totally the truckers fault by the way - and you can see that as soon as the wagon clips the car he moves back to L2 so he's aware of the incident.
Still end up getting practically pushed along the road by artics in average 50 zones.
The fact remains it's a needlessly poor attitude to other motorists because apparently the pressure to save a couple of minutes a day is greater than the risk of wiping someone else out on the motorway.

I'm fairly sure that's a Construction & Use offence. Not that it would necessarily get picked up during the normal course of things, but it's not going to help if caught speeding.NorfolkInClue1 said:
With the greatest of respect HTP99, I called you out for even thinking of an excuse
What you did is respond with a protracted personal rant and call someone a t
t for the crime of holding an opinion you disagree with about an internet video. If you want to show respect, disagree like an adult, explain your position and leave the personal insults out of it."I called you out for even thinking of an excuse" - unbelievable BS that you think you have the right launch a totally unprovoked personal attack because they dared to even think something that you disagree with.

to be fair the vast majority of that is chavs who don't have a license riding bikes (and quad bikes) that are not even road legal, and also unkilled people on L-plates.SpeedMattersNot said:
I am a lecturer of some very needy 16-18 year old's. I try to be as lenient as possible so that they can enjoy the freedom of college as school didn't suit them. However, I have 10 rules and rule #10 is that students are not allowed to wear caps, hats or have their hoods up in any of my lessons. This week I have asked a student to leave my lesson twice, as he refused to take his cap off. The reason being, if I let rule #10 go and become 'chilled' they will just want to break rule #9.. and so on.
Whilst I will not use my vehicle as a weapon to keep other drivers in check, I will safely create a situation where they can't just simply get their own way. If we just let everyone get away with dropping standards, the UK driving compilations will very quickly look like Russian driving compilations.
However, it's still not worth getting angry over.
Except that what you decide may not be acceptable on the road is not what someone else may consider unacceptable.Whilst I will not use my vehicle as a weapon to keep other drivers in check, I will safely create a situation where they can't just simply get their own way.

Many of the uk driving compilations are full of idiots getting involved in a situation which would have arisen had they not rose to the challenge.
You may well be part of the problem.
