Some brown trouser moments in this one!

Indeed.

Looks like that corner where the Jag went off is a troublesome one, the railing was ready bent and cones had been placed too.

1.36 why didn't the dcw bck off a tad?
6.45 Well held?
7.55 Comedy gold
9.07 ???
10.40 Karma
11.05 Tom Daly?
12.45 No sound on mine due to TV watches but was the DCW baking at all or just barreliing on?

The red Disco Sport joining the motorway, boils my piss. So often you see traffic joining from sliproads, often a stream of cars and inevitably one of them will try to go from the sliproad to L2 or L3 in one fell swoop, just shouts out selfishness, impatience and a disregard for anyone else. Not only do they "crowd" the car infront of them that's joining L1, they don't have the opportunity to look in the mirrors and adequately assess what's going on with traffic already established on the motorway. Even more selfish when they can't be bothered to move their head to check their blindspot, incase there's traffic in L3 which may be returning to L2, such as in the clip.

When I join a motorway, I join L1 and don't immediately push to move out into L2 or L3. I remain in L1 and allow myself a period of time to establish what traffic is around me, who's already established on the motorway I've just joined, what those that are established are doing and what they're likely to do next. Once I've anticipated the moves of all the other vehicles around me, only then do I start my planning for lane changes and such like. Not just gun it into an apparent gap in the outer lanes straight from the sliproad.

Absolutely spot on. I agree with everything you said there.

That is why people like you and me are Drivers ones like him are a frustrated missile launcher

So what you think applies to everyone else, hmm not sure on that.

Perhaps the guy only behaved like a total prick in that video, and he's fine the rest of the time. I doubt it though.

This view will be unpopular with some, but regardless of the knobbery from the land rover the white hatchback shares the blame on that particular clip... Changing from L3 to L2 without checking it was clear, especially after what looks like a major sliproad and before a speed limit increase where people are likely to be accelerating prematurely. Can't have done a lifesaver.

Quite a few in there, for once, that should actually have been sent off to the police. Starting with the white car nearly taking someone out on the zebra crossing.

Agree on both counts, and that driver needs a long-time ban.

The clip with the crumblies in the 1 series convertible is one of my favourites on any of these videos. Not only does the driver flick the most elegant V's I've ever seen, but the woman in the back who turned around and stared looks scarily like my mother-in-law... Spat out my coffee watching that

A fine selection of Chinese impatience, incompetence and simple idiocy. Remarkably, all from yesterday.

Sadly I think a ban would make no difference to somebody like that. Chopping off their arms is a better idea.

Can someone explain what the woman in the Peugeot did wrong at about 4 minutes? She was 1st in the line at the traffic lights, right up against the advanced stop line, there weren't any cyclists ahead of her in the box and when the lights went green she set off.

The motorcyclists seemed to try and squeeze into her lane and sit right at the side of her, is he suggesting she should have stayed put until he had made his manoeuvre despite her doing everything correctly. Why should she have to make any allowances for someone that got themselves into that sort of situation in the first place.

She overtook him at the start of the clip.

The video ought to be called: Massive overreactions to perceived slights

He filtered past at the lights at 4:16 in "her" lane. She was behind him at the lights at 4:30. He set off and she then squeezed up the inside of him. If he had moved left she would/could have knocked him off (as per his legal right). The previous part of the video confirms that based on her speeding she was perhaps impatient and an inexperienced driver.

No. If HE had moved left HE would have ridden into her car.

If SHE had moved right SHE would have knocked him off.

if another vehicle drives into you then they hit you, not the other way around.

What are you talking about? If i am in front of you in the same lane then i am legally in front of you. If you are behind then you give way.

It's a bit of a grey area - he's filtered and left plenty of room, but she then races away from the lights to deliberately try and stop him getting ahead, passing very close (the handlebar end is over the flank of the car), and cutting him off in the process. He's done the sensible thing checking everyone's stopped at the lights, and would have got away cleanly at normal traffic speed.

I would have done what he did, but wouldn't have bothered confronting her.
