Poor from the RX8 but you could see that coming............
Yep, the cammer is motoring and oblivious, not a good combination.

Can anybody make out the sign at 10s?

Harsh on the camera. The RX looks like he's stopping at 9 seconds and then the crash occurs at 11 seconds.
It's here, near Maltby.

Lesson for the day, keep quiet about dashcam until the Police arrive.
Yep - I've thought that a few times watching clips on PH. Don't mention the dashcam until it goes to court/police.
Yes. The culprits would have identified themselves in order to win the insurance jackpot they had sought.
Yep. Difficult to do in the adrenaline pumped great of the moment though, with recourse to thinking about it.

Lesson #2: If you ARE involved in a crash for cash but you don't have a camera, get out and point to your car and say "I have a dashcam, you know". Watch the scammers leg it.

It certainly appears to be. If you watch in HD you will note just in front the cam cars bonnet the flashing blue and red lights intersecting with his headlights from the grill.
If you also look they are approaching a road sign on the left and you can see the reflection of flashing lights on the sign as well.

They are his indicators, he signals left to move from lane 3 to lane 2.

Three distinct (amber) flashes.

Given the way he sits in the middle lane for ages, twice, with an empty left lane , then stays in the outer lane too long after passing that other car , i think we can fairly safely say the only reason he suddenly moves left is because he's watched the car behind him get annoyed and try to undertake, so he tries to block it.

He never shows any other inclination to move left at any point , despite huge empty areas of road to the left for most of the video. Strange then that he chooses that exact moment to change lines , and does so quite sharply.

Of course it's just possible that he didn't see that other car, but given the way most people seem to behave nowadays, and that he is obviously an MLM, I think not. He saw it, blocked it, screwed up.
I agree. Self centered, 'me first' attitude fail, he may think about his driving next time. If he'd kept left he would have got home on time along with the hundreds of other people he no doubt caused misery for, prize chump.

Definitely. Was the first thing I thought after watching that clip. Stay in the overtaking lane as long as possible, oh someone's trying to undertake me, better cut them off..

Biker at 2:30 - so those cars passing parked cars on their side of the road should just magically disappear then?

Looks like an OAP lost control of their battery powered buggy.

Some real tools in there. 4.34 - kids crossing the road - obvious for ages - drive at them anyway - bell end.

I'm confused by the cam car at 4:21 onward. Looks like it's filming from on top of a front splitter, but looks way too high up??

Quite clearly a bonnet to me. Flat looking screen, Defender? The cables are to stop branches hitting the screen I believe??

Ah, gotcha. Never seen those before and the weird checker plate didn't help.

I suspect it's more likely to be an attempt to get a video to go viral
