Apparently I was in the wrong?

[CallorFold]

Quick 20second clip of someone who pulled out across main road, went for the inside lane then changed back (no indication, anywhere) then slapped his brakes for a green light....

When we pulled up at the next set of lights he had the cheek to drop a window and proceed to ask me what I was doing!????

Safe to say words were exchanged, however i still fail to see what i did wrong....thoughts?

You hooned it onto his bumper and listen to st music?

[DoctorX]

Nothing much wrong there. Always keep a reasonable distance from Micra drivers though!

ETA had sound turned down, wouldn't have honked, just a tut tut and move on....

Have you been driving long?

I'd say not.

I'm not sure 25mph counts as hooning?

I should have apologised for Radio 1 :P

[73mark]

Beep and not drop back to give a safe gap. But what a knob he was

[raceboy]

What's wrong with Lane 1?

You were being an arse by accelarating close behind him, he was being an arse by brake testing you.

Like most of these incidents, both parties are being an arse but just only see one side of it.

You drove right on his bumper and honked your horn.

All you had to do was ease off the gas for a second and let him/her make their mind up.

Perhaps they didn't know the area/road?

The horn came after planting the brakes - i wouldn't say that's unreasonable use?

Was already a car along side me (the mini that passed in the video) and i was taking a right at the next lights

ETA - ignore the mini bit i cut the video before it passed

[backwoodsman]

1 idiot + 1 idiot= a pair of idiots.

You both did wrong.

[heners54]

They were never fully in the left hand lane so personally I wouldn't have been accelerating at the point you were. They were all over the place, but alarm bells should have been ringing at the sight of a micra stradling lanes.

This.

There are many, many impatient people who seem to think everyone are as familiar with the roads as what they are and try to bully them out of their way.

What is wrong with using lane 1 by the way?

Turning right at the next set of lights (by morrisons if you can make it out in the video)

ETA - I now see video quality is crap - about 50m in front there's a set of lights with 3 lanes (right lane right turn only)

[Toltec]

Crap driver pulls out.
OP decides that is an excuse to be one too.



Simple rule-
Don't allow idiots to pull you down to their level.

Surprisingly hard thing to do though.

[Terminator X]

Quite right to toot, where do I get one of them camera's?!

TX.

Yep, you were wrong.

You accelerated into the back of him, where was he supposed to vanish to?
