I agree. Too few videos, too much chat.

I have to assume the driver in the first clip was busy cursing at himself.

If he wasn't, he needed to be.

I was thinking that the car didn't come from around the roundabout but came from the lane to the right of the dcw thinking dcw would take 1st exit stay in lane one and vectra would have cut to lane 2 1st exit.

Bloke in second clip needs to calm down a bit. Delayed 10 seconds.

A couple I've been bothered to put on YouTube.

Some prat in a focus ST, when confronted he literally couldn't care less that he tried to drive across my bonnet.

The website in your profile sounds a bit, er, specialist. It wasn't the ST driver, was it...?
:lol: that's a looong! Story, it was intentional, I didn't even realise what you was on about until I went on my own profile :lol:

Hanger Lane is a horrible junction; people get confused and in the wrong lane. You need to make allowances!

White van man living up to stereotype though with unnecessary stop to make a point.
It is bad but if people can't understand the lanes properly then they should slow down, if you watch my video, I find my space that is adequate for me to fit in and hold my position as the two lanes head towards the slip road, I haven't rushed in front of everyone and pushed in, the van driver then drives along side me just before the merging point, hence why I wondered what he was doing, I can't understand what allowances I should of made? I basically got cut up, if I didn't stop I'd of just driven along side the van damaging my own car.

Regardless of what the OP did, that was some pretty ludicrous driving from that Focus there. Clearly no intention of properly merging.
It's getting really tiresome how desperate people are on this thread to criticise the video uploaders.
Bad observations often cause worse crashes than aggressive but controlled driving as shown by the Focus.

I don't know why I come back to this thread, I really don't. What is our country coming to ?

Anyway, moving on.........a lady driver sends off a clip of her mounting a kerb on a bend ?

The only reason she would do this is if -
A) She is stupid
B) She gets paid
C) Both A and B

I gave up after 3 1/2 minutes... it was depressing viewing the driving from the DCW's viewpoint.... so many of the incidents could have been avoided if the prat with camera read the road ahead and moderated their driving to suit the circumstance in front of them ....

Agreed.

These are starting to really scrape the barrel now.

So many of theses are either people accelerating into problems or people just not slowing for obvious issues ahead. The guy reversing out of his driveway being a prime example!

Where did the Vectra come from in the first clip? Lane 2 of the entry that the camera was using?

This might be the first video of its kind where the angry guy who stops gets shot down with such ruthless efficiency that he returns to his car without so much as a word in edgeways. Absolutely superb viewing.

I wasn't having a dig at your avoidance technique, I have had similar experiences at that junction! What I have seen there is people playing follow my leader, so if one is in the wrong lane, others seem to follow the same incorrect route around.

Whilst hardly the worst driving I see vehicles do this every so often (brake on an on slip). It seems there isn't really any need to do so, whats going on? do they brake because of the car behind them ? haven't looked to see whats in lane 1 so brake to give time to check ? I don't get it.

If the chap in the van had kept the speed up or even accelerated a little he'd have joined in front of the cam car and the other car, no problem.

I notice he's disabled the comments though since they didn't all go his way. Like a lot of dash cam wkers he can't take criticism of his own actions.
