Yes the white insignia was in the RHS lane however the driver didn't get much time to move over after the black zafira had pulled back into the LHS before the tit in the gtr and then the tit in the audi tailgated and then break tested him.

Crikey, GTR looked proper close to the back of the insignia.

What a tit.

I don't condone the moronic behaviour there, but what the **** was that stupid imbecile doing in lane 3?

What exactly is the matter with these people?

Either they're dozing off, in which case they shouldn't be driving, or else they don't understand the basic rules of the road, in which case they shouldn't be on the road.

Shot on a mini 0805, it will play on you tube at 1440 so not bad for a £50 dash cam.

I've seen very similar on the M3, and just as the tt goes for the undertake, the stranded car moves across, pushing the undertaker into lane 1.

It looks more like the tit was in the Insignia. The GT-R was driving pretty aggressively, but if two cars can go up the inside of you, you're definitely in the wrong lane. All it would have taken is for the Insignia to indicate left, they werent overtaking anything at the point where both other cars went past them

Doesn't seem worth uploading to me - you see stuff like that all the time. Come to think of it, I suspect many of us might be guilty of getting a bit too close to someone who won't move over, and then passing on the inside - I know I've done it a few times, albeit not quite as aggressively as the cars in the video.

GTR driver was being a numpty - no need to drive that aggressively. Although what the video doesn't show is how long the Insignia had been in the 3rd lane.

watch the full video he'd just passed me in lane 2 and the black zafira had only just pulled back into lane 1 he had maybe 1-2 seconds to pull over before the gtr was on his arse.

There is no excuse for the actions of the GTR driver, end of story. Whilst outside lane man may be a bit of a tit he was not doing anything dangerous.

Insignia should have moved over. If he was using the motorway properly he would have been in lane 2, not to mention the fact he should have been checking his mirrors and seen the GTR coming from quite a way back!!

For anyone else thinking of watching - you can skip the first 40 out the 60 seconds.

No excuse for the GTR break[sic] testing - if it was so vital to get past, then just get on.

OTH Mr/Ms Insignia is a tool/ette.

Can't believe the amount of posters having a go at the Insignia.

The tits are clearly the two who seem to be racing, or at least driving dangerously.

Yeah this... these kind of views on a motoring enthusiast site are worrying.

The insignia driver was in the wrong lane for a few seconds max before the GTR was inches off his number plate. At this stage moving lanes or doing anything other than sitting tight would have been foolish and asking for a collision.

The guy in the GTR was/is a muppet, particularly for the brake test.

Anyone defending the GTR driver or slating the Insignia driver is a moron.

Imagine that you are in the Insignia. You complete the overtake. You are thinking about pulling back to the left. You see two cars racing with each other and approaching you at a speed differential of what, say, 50mph?

I expect that he thought that they were going to undertake him and did not want to move and risk them panicking, swerving around and causing an accident. If another car is driving very dangerously, it is understandable that sane drivers will think "I will just carry on as I am and let them go around me" rather than changing the situation.

So the Insignia is passing the Zafira, which moves into lane 1. As it completes the manoeuvre into lane 1 the Zafira puts its right indicator on. Insignia quite reasonably stays in lane 3 given the car in lane 1 is signalling to move out.

GTR driver is an utter impatient tt. He probably hasn't even noticed the Zafira indicating to move out (he's got that in common with many of the people who've commented, it seems).

Audi driver is also a tt, undertaking while the GTR is busy brake-testing the Insignia.

On what's actually shown in the video the Insignia has done absolutely nothing wrong. Of course he could have been hogging the outside lane for ten miles, we'll never know.

If you watch the video very closely you can see that the GTR driver has a tiny penis.

The zafira completes the move to L1 at 44 seconds and the GTR is already in the shot and closing fast, Mr Insignia is probably just playing it safe and sensible and leaving some margin for the zafira to complete what its doing before then moving to L2 but then the GTR arrives on the scene at a billion mph. I would imagine mr insignias thought process may have been something like "what the hell are you up to, give me a chance! He's probably going to undertake me in a sharp and unpredictable manner so I'd better stay where I am"

As soon as the insignia goes past the camera car I wouldn't have moved left either as it's dangerous to manoeuvre alongside another car doing a lane change. It would have been in his blind spot too.

Maybe he was about to move left afterwards but got distracted by the Nissan up his arse.
