PH thoughts on this 'Advanced' driver's dashcam vids?
Discussion
Just been on an Advanced driving forum looking around and found some links to a drivers' videos in which he is supposedly 'outing' bad driving.
In the first link we see a Range Rover driver suposedly making a mistake:

And in this link, a BM driver supposedly making the same error:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQVWI_bfuks&ind...
Now IMO it's the 'Advanced' driver who is at fault, and quite badly.
IMO he should be stopping a car length BEFORE his driveway, causing the following driver to stop at that point, then moving towards the centre line to make his intentions clear before beginning the reversing manouvre, instead of going past the driveway and expecting the follower to know that his intention is to reverse into the driveway behind.
First he exhibits very bad form then posts these videos on YT to make out the other driver is at fault.

I reverse on to my drive. I am firmly of the opinion that the traffic moving along the main road in both directions has priority over my manoeuvre, so I pull in with a left indicator just past my driveway, wait until the following traffic has passed me and its clear in both directions and then back on to the drive.
This clown seems to be expecting following drivers to be reading his mind and then acting nobbish when they misunderstand his signal and position.
OP, do you have a link to the forum / thread where this was posted?

Third post in.
Even although the others may make mistakes, he seems to be deliberately making a point of not making allowances for others mistakes.
Surely part of being an advanced driver is to anticipate the errors of others? There's nothing in his videos which you couldn't see coming, nor have avoided imho

Noticeable that in the first one the recorder has muted the sound until he is reversing, so you can't tell when he starts to indicate either.
Presumably he indicated in plenty of time to pull in to the left, but I have no idea how he expected the person behind to know he was going to reverse up into the driveway rather than just stop where he was.I also reverse into my drive and wouldn't dream of just stopping then starting to reverse with someone there.

Cheers. Goes to find something more interesting to do.
There's very little advanced about what he's doing there. There's no way that the rangey could have anticipated that move. And you can hear him getting agitated which is the last thing any advanced driver should do. I'm not a huge fan of the holier than thou attitude of some (not all) IAM people but I think this should be played at his local group. They'd him to shreds.

That's not gonna happen, the guy's the chairman!I'm not a huge fan of the holier than thou attitude of some (not all) IAM people but I think this should be played at his local group.
Funny that this didn't get picked up on the forum where he advertises his videos, but then it doesn't surprise me, they only pat each other on the back and tell each other how great they are.
