Does anyone think if the Morgan hadn't fluffed the gear change he'd have escaped? Doesn't look like it to me. Also potentially had some wheel spin on the dusty hatched area as he's taking off. But regardless, he's in the wrong. Wonder if he never saw the pug or just misjudged it's speed.
If the Morgan driver thought he could 'beat' the Pug then he's delusional.J4CKO said:

Yep, the speed with which they press the save button on the dash cam is evidence of that. I'd imagine they punch the air with delight after someone's misjudged pulling out in front of them, or dared to overtake as they will be able to upload a clip to the internet. Pretty tragic. I had a dash cam for a year or two before it died, not once did I upload or save anything. If it hasn't resulted in injury or damage, and it's not genuine dangerous driving, who cares. I'd far rather they upload something like decent cars caught on cam, or hot girls crossing the road instead of someone cutting in at a roundabout heads looking for something to be angry about, like a footballer taking a dive, all the effing and blinding, horns, lights etc, just seems very aggressive, sometimes things will get in the way, someone will make a mistake but when its them, I guess they dont upload that, some right sad acts out there, some of the situations just seem so marginal, others completely beggar belief but I cant see the point of a good portion of them.
And I've just remembered I had one beep at me a couple of years ago for not overtaking a bus that had stopped (to do so would have required me going the wrong way round a keep left arrow on an island), he was waving and pointing at his cam. There were a few passengers getting on the bus, so I got out and went to speak to him to find out what the fuss was. A very different person when I got to his door, suddenly apologetic, 'sorry mate, just in a bit of a rush', reminiscent of Simon in the Inbetweeners with the 'sorry' scene. Pretty pathetic really. I suspect he didn't upload that particular video.

Jesus, the 106(?) must have been flying because that Morgan didn't hang about.https://.youtube.com/watch?v=lLBuedP9rQA
From memory a 50 zone at that point, as it's narrowed down from a dual carriageway to a single, and that is the junction with Hare's Lane.

They sound the horn for a good 4 or 5 seconds before the impact.

206 had enough time to react to sit on their horn for a good 3-4 seconds.....
I've just watched the video and timed it myself watching the video timestamp...horn sounds at approximately 10.5 seconds, impact is at 12 seconds.So at the very most, he sounded the horn for 2 seconds.
If you're going to try and make a case for it being the Peugeot's fault, please let's at least be accurate with the facts.

+1 Totally the Morgan driver's fault, but I do think the Peugeot driver could have done more to avoid the collision.......
Taking into account the average drivers skills, the distance you travel during the thinking distance and about 3 seconds between a car turning into your path, and your on top of it, not much else you can do. Easy us sitting watching it over and over again.The average driver will just anchor up.

Exactly. I just hope they are kids be smart asses not really on our roads.
It will get worse with the new driving test, how to use a sat nav, drive INTO a space and reverse out, arse about face me thinks.
Should teach how to use indicators and lane discipline, on the plus, there will be loads of dash cams to look forward to.
If the pug was travelling at around 70 mph then it's a stopping distance of around 106 metres (so the book says). It may be the Pug driver assumed that the silly old duffer was going straight over (still a risky move) or was going to wait for him to pass before joining and by the time he realised the Morgan was turning into his path it was too late.
70 mph is 31 metres a second, the Morgan turns right at 00:09 and the impact is at 00:11 so 2 seconds to react and brake was never going to be enough time if the pug was within 100 metres.
Of course one can argue about evasive manoeuvres, but from turning right into the carriageway to the point of impact was around two and a half seconds which is pretty tight.

Regarding the Peugeot - may be to do with this recognised phenomenon where drivers who ought to be performing an emergency stop don't press the brakes hard enough.
Yep either that or Peugeot brakes are just **** , at least we know who not to pull out on It has been explained in so many posts.
