Too many people react to prevent overtaking by closing gaps or not leaving gaps, but this one was a knob in the extreme.

Well when I first saw it I did wonder if the overtaking car was going to go for the second pass.....so, do you not thing the overtaking car "frightened" it into braking thinking it would speed up the process ? (as there was a car coming the other way)
Anyone who gets frightened in that situation should not be on the road. In uncertainty like that you maintain speed and heading, you do not start initiating your own uncertainty, that's how accident happen.

Last one - cash for crash OR wasn't concentrating and shat themselves, slammed on anchors as they didn't know if roundabout was safe to enter.
I'm going with the latter, it's Jct 9 of the M40 heading North on the A34. Used to be a roundabout but now has lights. Probably drove on and suddenly realised it's a roundabout although they had a green light.

Brave(?) police not to call it off.

Woman and dog must've st themselves here:

Bristol Police are a dedicated bunch! They did well as the area of the chase is a right old warren of narrow streets.

Amazing. The situation is caused by the Civic driver who could have caused a multiple vehicle pile-up but it's the zafira driver who's to blame....

I'd didn't want to watch that again, I agree with you.

Hopefully he gets the maximum sentence they can throw at him.

Zafira driver got spoked and in the fight or flight situation, braked and swerved. There is nothing else to it and I don't understand how anyone can come to any other conclusion. Driver thought he/she was about to get hit either by the civic, or the debris/cars from oncoming side in the event of a collision between civic and them so made a snap decision.

The dialogue from the camera car even points to this as those guys observed the behaviour in front of them.

Sometimes your brain makes a decision without a moment's notice when pressed with a situation, it just automatically happens and there's nothing you can do about it in that moment.

We can debate all we want on the internet, but in those situations out on the road, that is exactly what happens.
But if your in a zafira and make a decision like that (so awful!) you shouldn't be on the road. The first overtake was fine and back in and down to a near matching speed when the zafira anchors on

Then the actions of the Zafira would have been helpful, but since he didn't, they weren't, they were downright dangerous.

No one is saying the Civic's driving was 'safe', just that the first overtake was mostly alright and it was the crazy actions of the Zafira that turned the situation from, "that's not the best overtake I've seen this year, but it's certainly not the worst" into, "Christ on a bike, what's that fking cum-gargler playing at!"

Civic screams past and cuts up cam car all seen by Zafria, you can tell he has assumed the Civic will overtake him.

Zafira is watching the road/on-coming traffic AS WELL AS a cut up cam car and an aggressive nob who looked like he was going for take 2, remember the Zafria is not looking in his mirrors all the time. He made a bad choice but that was caused by aggression and anyway, Who.T.F. expects a Zafria to be sensible ?

I thought it was rather nice of the car driver to keep his interior lights on to make him more easily identifiable as the person attempting to kill someone by running them over.

The thing is the Zafira driving move was so erratic and incompetent, I'm genuinely surprised that the Zafira driver had the awareness an overtake had happened behind him. All very, very strange.
