Second clip must have been distraction, bet they were reading a text.The Mini at 2.20 is why you cant take a DVSA test in a convertible mini.

The one with the bikes and the merc was weird. I don't like it when Im at the front of a queue like that and a bike pulls in front after filtering and then proceeds to pull away slower than I was planning too. Whilst it looks like the Merc is chasing the bike the biker didn't move left when the lanes split anyway and then it all went silly.

That's Quarry Corner and the conditions at the weekend were far from ideal, it was heavy rain early on then damp with random patches of standing water for the bulk of the day. By 4pm when that Clio was out there was a defined dry line which if you strayed off then understeering into the barrier is the likely outcome. He was relatively lucky that Castle Combe have added an extra layer of GIANT bubble wrap in front of the tyre wall which hugely reduced the amount of damage sustained.
That Clio crash is standard issue at Combe an likely claims a hundred cars a year doing exactly that. It was NOTHING in comparison to the chap who absolutely destroyed in Subaru Impreza after aquaplaning off at Tower and flipping the car into the marshal's watch post!
They don't call the Castle Combe "Action Days" for nothing
I wonder how many drivers that crash at a track day push their car out to the main road and then claim on their insurance? That Clio crash is standard issue at Combe an likely claims a hundred cars a year doing exactly that. It was NOTHING in comparison to the chap who absolutely destroyed in Subaru Impreza after aquaplaning off at Tower and flipping the car into the marshal's watch post!

What, the Subaru crash 2 posts above the one you quoted? That Clio crash is standard issue at Combe an likely claims a hundred cars a year doing exactly that.

The crash at 6:00 really boils my blood. No doubt the Ford driver will be declared at fault, but I can't help but think that the SEAT driver really should have slowed down a bit and anticipated that other traffic may enter the roundabout before their arrival. I suspect also that the camera car was causing a blindspot between the Ford and SEAT, so the SEAT should have slowed anyway incase of traffic emerging that was hidden. You see it all the time at mini-roundabouts, one driver decides while on approach that they have priority, despite traffic actually already at or on the roundabout. Instead of slowing to aid the flow of traffic from ALL directions, they blast on through at twice the speed of anybody else, resorting to blasting the horn if anyone dares not clear the mini roundabout ahead of them in time. This sense of self importance and disregard for other drivers irritates me, at the end of the day the single goal of any journey should be to not cause a collision, so it only seems logical to take it steady when crossing mini roundabouts. Be looking to go, but plan to stop, and that includes if someone misjudged your excess speed and pulls out infront.
