Again not me, just found on Reddit this morning.

I'd be willing to bet there was an exchange between the two drivers for the Merc to act like that. While I don't condone their behaviour, I rather think there is more to this story than meets the eye.
My sympathy lies with the camera car on this one.
Had this a couple of days ago on my dashcam, how the Seat didn't bin it I have no idea

Gotta be ESC, hasn't it? Hard to see how he doesn't get into a slide from over-correction otherwise. Or maybe he is one of these fabled driving gods https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDiSO53k4Dw

He was probably so shocked that a BMW driver indicated he presumed he was hallucinating.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDiSO53k4Dw

apparently it was his truck, so...It's only old tin, but a snappy old thing never the less.

Would an old SEAT like that have ESP?
My 17yr old 328i has ESP...I'd like to here some views on this guy:

The eagle eyed will have noticed that the date stamp is incorrect. My fault.
He's getting some pretty good speed out of it. Too fast for the footpath I would say. Where I live there's a guy everyone calls Crazy Pete who used to push himself along backwards in a wheelchair with one leg. Now he goes up and down on an electric scooter causing chaos. He once came head to head with a girl in a Mini and kicked her headlights out.

Am I the only thinking that the truck driver drove pretty badly until the moment of impact? He left the car no room at all at the transition point, did not brake when he saw it was weaving a bit, and just hung around alongside it...perfectly placed for an accident.Another example of dashcamer blaming somebody else for his own cock up.
He is approaching the junction too fast, has to swing out to avoid rear ending another truck, right onto the tail of Fiesta already braking for junction (brake lights are already on as it comes into frame).

I've watched that bit several times now and had the Focus braked at the same pace as the cars in front the driver wouldn't have ended up so close, but tbh it seems more like the usual 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.He is approaching the junction too fast, has to swing out to avoid rear ending another truck, right onto the tail of Fiesta already braking for junction (brake lights are already on as it comes into frame).

Truck driver should plan lane changes better and not change into gaps too close behind vehicles in other lanes and the Focus driver, who given he looks and acts like a stereotypical angry old man driver should chill the f out and not (I'm presuming) intentionally brake test multi-ton trucks!

Though I do agree with that , he should have seen that miles off and just let him in.Edited by GrumpyTwig on Saturday 29th August 12:56

Not exemplary, but he's definitely in the right,
Afraid not - someone needs to quote the piece from the front of the HC about avoiding a collisionHe's supposed to be professional so should have seen what was happening and 'avoid'
By creeping forward he's also placed the car in his blindspot and was still half a car behind when it happened
