Bloody hell! That could have been a lot worse though, I thought he was going to roll back up onto the road at one point.Not bad driving as such but scary stuff, look how close he gets to the first telegraph pole...

Did anyone else read the thread in SP&L and think angrydashcamman has made an appearance on the forum?

A couple years ago, the day before xmas eve, my mate spent the evening at mine after visiting a back specialist I recommended, and by 1am, it was time to drive him back. I did this, and er indoors came along for the ride, lying in the back of the Range Rover for the journey. On the way back home, we were on the ring road, and came upon a roundabout, one of lots, where a traffic light is present before it, and then on it as well. As I've said before, I don't hang about, and it's a supercharged rangie, blacked out windows, etc etc. I waited for the red to join the roundabout, nothing around save an old fiesta waiting at the next entry into the roundabout, as I got the green. Immediately I pulled away, the lights started to change to red at the next set, so having looked once, I knew I'd beat the light and certainly the old banger waiting. As I went through, I noticed a riot van behind the fiesta! Duh!
Turned to the Mrs, told her to keep her mouth shut as the cops were bound to pull us at that time of night, and started down the dual carriageway, noting the limit change to 50. Once I saw the blue flashing lights come onto my route, I slowed and set the cruise to 50, letting them slowly catch up. To be funny, when they got behind me, I played the Good Samaritan for a bit and waved them past out the window to go on with their 'job' and then, when they declined, I pulled over opposite a pub on the DC. A lady cop came to my window, I asked if I could be of help to her, she said no, can we have a word.. Walked back with her to the Daf riot van, and sat on the edge of the seat so they couldn't shut the door.
Van was full of cops, and one really aggressive skinheaded driver, who immediately told me I knew what I had done, so come clean. I asked him what he meant, and he claimed I was doing 80 in a 50, and I would lose my licence. I laughed, and told him to check my telematics, I was doing 50, so he swore that he had to do 80 to catch me. I agreed, he must have had to exceed my speed to catch me from a standing start in such a decrepit old van, but that if we had both been doing 80, he could never have caught me. He then told me 'tough, I've got it on tape' and pointed to the centre console.
I think I may have annoyed him somewhat with my reply 'there's a video camera in the ashtray?' He said, it's a video, and I said, bull, there's no video in the ashtray. He immediately then told me 'you've clearly been drinking heavily, how much have you had?' Shocked as I was, I laughed, counted out, and replied 14 or 16.
Imagine his surprise when the little diddy breathalyser iPhone machine said zero. It was only after it did this that I advised him I thought by drink, he meant any drink, not alcoholic, and I had meant coffee! Being Sicilian, I drink ridiculous amounts of espresso, so who knew! Hahahahaha. The van was rocking. Trouble for him is, I NEVER drink and drive, and rarely have a drink even if I'm not, I just don't bother, especially since I get pulled over at least once every three times I go out at night given the cars I drive and hence, get so used to the bs they come out with sometimes.
I stepped down out the van, and walked back. Now usually, I always lock the car when I leave it, so they need a warrant to search it since im all legal, I'm not a drug dealer and I don't do prostitutes (honest guv), but this time as er indoors was in the back, I had left it unlocked. As I accelerated away like a b......d she told me that the cop lady had been trying to look inside, and opened the doors, to find her led on the back seat. My Mrs is 26, but looks about 15 without her makeup, so she asked her if she was okay, and when answered in the positive, the copper said 'better settle down, we will have your boyfriend for drink driving' to which my Mrs, in a rare state of quick witted humour, simply said 'good luck with that' and rolled over and went back to snoozing!

Ah the good old Segensworth roundabout, always good for plenty of lane wandering Best one are the drivers who suddenly need to get to the TGI Friday turn off but realising they need to get across the lane going all the way round towards Park Gate.
I've fallen foul of being in the wrong lane there a couple of times but nothing that wasn't sorted by taking the current exit then double backing onto the roundabout again. I don't know why people think using up another minute of their time is a big no no that they must drive around lanes like that!
Have we had this chap yet?
He's a driving instructor, seems a good one too, he posts a lot of minor and some major idiot behavior.
A lot to go through - videos from 1 to 26.

He posted a video of himself deliberately driving into the side of a Range Rover to stop it's driver merging into his lane in front of him at roadworks, then deleted the video after a few people advised him of the error of his ways.He's a driving instructor, seems a good one too, he posts a lot of minor and some major idiot behavior.

In that situation he could have hung back a little and dropped in behind the white Fiesta. Not like there was a lot of traffic.
Which would have held up the cam car and risked someone else coming up to his left.All the bloke's done is got off the line a bit sharpish to correct an earlier lane error. The Fiesta barely even notices. No, it won't get him very far on his test, but I don't think we need to be getting to excited.

The BMW driver was in the wrong here sadly, I cut the video to the important bit as at the time I didn't think it was relevant to include his driving behaviour leading up to the junction and roundabout beforehand. He was speeding in and out of lanes and the traffic was clear anyway so he had plenty of time to get into the correct lane.All the bloke's done is got off the line a bit sharpish to correct an earlier lane error. The Fiesta barely even notices. No, it won't get him very far on his test, but I don't think we need to be getting to excited.
In the video I say "I bet he accelerates fast" having clocked his driving style earlier. These drivers are pretty predictable.
He didn't need to do an unsafe manoeuvre like that and risk getting rear ended or clipping the other car's nose as it's a a roundabout, so could have just gone round it and been in the correct lane then. Would have cost him 30 seconds more time and nothing more.
He just seemed like he was in a hurry to get from A to B and didn't care about driving with care and attention.
Speaking of being in a hurry, this TT driver was pretty anxious to get home! https://youtu.be/23ZaY46xakw
Who would you guys say was at fault here? The 1 series was indicating and slowly making way to the intended exit far right, the TT was just hustling through lanes at speed toward the same exit and not indicating and clearly not paying attention to the 1 series in front. But the 1 series wasn't fully using his mirrors anyway. It could have ended up being a minor RTA.
