Does make you wonder what you need to do to get locked up.
fkin hell our police are ste at pursuits
Indeed, that was shocking from both police cars.

Clearly the offender was driving dangerously and could have hurt someone at anytime, should have been taken out.
wasn't exactly a speedy car either, a primera!
The first clip was clearly an attempt to keep the car on the dual carriageway, probably with a view to having some kind of resolution. I didn't see any opportunities in the video to do anything remotely proportionate. High risk single vehicle contact at those speeds, needs lots of room for things to go wrong and or very high stakes.

I’ve been living in southern Spain for the past 2 months. The kind of stuff that gets DCW’s knickers in a twist in the UK wouldn’t raise an eyebrow here... all par for the course.

Want to take the 3rd exit off a roundabout? No problem, just drive all the way round the outside... which considering NO ONE EVER USES THEIR INDICATORS, EVER, makes them particularly lethal.

I’ve yet to see any road rage, or hear a horn sounded in anger.

I love driving in Spain. I remember picking up a hire car and asking the guy if he would take a note of the dents on the car before I drive it away and he laughed and said “you’re in Spain”. Didn’t even want to see the car when I brought it back.

Yeah, that’s true if you’re in a Spanish rental. But I’m in my UK lease car... which is due back in 6 weeks. Certainly made me adopt a more cautious approach to other road users laugh

similar in Russia , road rage is not the norm ....this English mentality ..of lane hogging doesn't happen out there , Russians will 3 lane it drive on your bumpers or push you out of the way ...try brake checking a Russian driver ..is not going to end well , I used to either go faster than them or get the hell out of the way , never any issues ....and Russia has more traf pol than any other nation ...

Dumbass biker.

Interesting the way the car driver checks his car first before going to check on the guy, wouldn't he surprised if the rest of the video was not shown as he is kicking the biker whilst down.

That's still one of my favourite dashcam clips of all time. I just love the sheer stupidity of it, it's like he forgot he was on a bike.

Two words.....

Outrage Culture


We're obsessed with finding reasons to play the victim, to the point where on the roads people are "creating" situations where they know the likely outcome will be them getting offended.

Two more.....

Self importance

For whatever reason people seem to really think they are better than others and think they have a right to do what they want and in doing so think they are in the right...

Usual pricks. At 1.06 there's one of those familiar roundabout issues, but which car is in the right/wrong?

The driver in the very first clip would have been fine if they were in an auto and covering the brake with their left foot.

Seriously, typical dcw - you could see the hazard a mile off and it clearly didn't register.

As for the roundabout, from what we see it didn't appear either driver was aware of the other so likely to be 50:50 even though the dcw will feel they are blameless.

Not by that point, there's very clearly only one way to go.
