A very, very sad story.

A custodial sentence definitely in order for this utter tool. Bet he won't feel so big and powerful and protected by his super macho chintz mobile when he's making friends behind bars. Hopefully will also serve as a lesson to others, particularly those that behave in a similar fashion, driving in an aggressive, bullying way. We're all just trying to get around FFS. Don't be pr**ks.

Absolutely; he deserves to go away for a long time.

Horrible story and as a biker, its terrifying to watch the footage and realise that this could happen when you least expect it. Very sobering.

What on earth kind of manoeuvre was he trying to pull off? Looked like he was undertaking and turning across the road at the same time?!

Dreadful driving from that bell end in the Discovery, hopefully he'll receive a nice spell in jail.

I can't work out from the video if he lost control or just literally drove head on into the dash cam car?

Looked like a case of red mist to me, he was totally focused on chasing the other car.

I've watched a few times now and it seems fairly clear from the video and the witness testitomonies he made the turn on purpose as he was chasing down the Mazda that was trying to get away. The Mercedes had been in front, in between Discovery and Mazda, but he undertook the Mercedes and attempted the turn almost in the same manoeuvre.

So he could chase down a lone female to remonstrate with her about some perceived injustice.

What an utter lowlife.

I suspect the hunter will become the hunted in prison; enjoy the showers sweetheart.

Fairly typical (although obviously an extreme example) of the kind of behaviour drivers of cars like this often seem to think is ok. Tailgating their way around the country with their little fairy lights twinkling away assuming for some reason that everyone is meant to get out of their way, the roads belong to them, and rules, laws and general manners aren't important, so long as they can arrive as soon as physically possible. Utter brainless, selfish, arrogant tools the lot of them.

Edited to clarify that "tools the lot of them" refers to all those who drive like tools. Which should be obvious but clearly isn't to some. I don't think everyone driving a nice car is a tool so try not to get so upset over this and direct your anger to the driver.

He deserves jail for that, even without the terrible injuries to the poor family.

If you can't control your temper to the point that you just drive into a space without looking or knowing it is safe then you definitely shouldn't be anywhere near a car. I hope he gets some jail time to think about it, along with a VEEEERY long driving ban.

I guess he was from the Land Rover Exoerience place near Corby? Absolutely appalling story.

Very sad and terrible driving from the JLR Driver.

But no need for the OP to tar all SUV drivers with the same brush.

Agree. Normally it's just Q7 drivers that are a breed apart. Do they think they're invisible or something?

Utterly stupid and it'll live with him forever more. I guess it's a poke to all of us not to get carried away.

"kind of behaviour drivers of cars like this often seem to think is ok"

That's not "all" is it. I also didn't specify SUVs.

Edit to also add that, after re-reading my earlier post, and the offence it caused, I should clarify that "Utter brainless, selfish, arrogant tools the lot of them." was referring to the drivers that assume "for some reason that everyone is meant to get out of their way, the roads belong to them, and rules, laws and general manners aren't important, so long as they can arrive as soon as physically possible", and categorically not to all drivers of "cars like this".

But, I would maintain, that anecdotally, in my experience, drivers of "cars like this" (by which I meant expensive, powerful, prestige etc, and not necessarily SUVs) are more likely to be excessively aggressive in their driving manner. There is probably someone more intelligent than me that has carried out research into the types of personalities that 'typically' drive such cars, and/or the effect that driving such cars can have on the manner of driving.

Anyway, that is all very inconsequential in the scheme of things. As mentioned above, hopefully this sorry episode will make at least one silly little boy think twice before losing his cool and having a temper tantrum at the wheel.

That poor family never stood a chance.

Sadly I feel the punishment will not fit the crime.
