I think everyone knew who they were, by the look of it.

I'm torn there, because the proximate cause of the accident was (arguably) the combination of him travelling with too high a closing/overtaking speed on the rest of the traffic and the muppet in the camera car just pulling out without indicating or looking.

...so on balance I really don't think this warranted a jail sentence. Yes I feel bad for his passenger, but given that there's a lot of other VERY antisocial and deliberately violent acts apparently don't warrant jail sentences in this country, it would have felt excessive.

What an absolute cretin to crash like that.

It's implied the cam knobber pulled out without signalling but it should have been very obvious to any driver who isn't a crayon chewer that the DCW was going to want to come out as he approached that lorry, and 90MPH on a wide motorway with light traffic is hardly pushing the edge of human achievement. Pathetic and a real example of the total lack of any roadcraft most people display.

Most of the time I think I've spotted when some mouthbreather I'm about to catch up with and overtake will need to come out to overtake or brake for a slower vehicle in their lane long before they do, and taken it into account. Crashing at a snails pace Volvo in this vid should have already moved into L4/3 before DCW makes his lane change.

And what a surprise: there seems to be more focus on his speed than the fact he was driving like a solid gold 24-karat .

His speed was inappropriate for his number of braincells.

Regardless of the camera car indicating, it was the most obvious, slow, deliberate lane change. Meatus mouth was just trying to prove a point, which endangered his mate and has left her with permanent damage.

Also he looks like Wayne Rooney and Jimmy Somerville had a child together.

He's clearly not right in the head. A 31 year old driving a Volvo - did he borrow his grandad's car for the trip?

Similarly, recently there was a head on collision near me, in which someone tragically died. The reporting, including the judges remarks (as reported at least) implied that the idiot lost control because he was driving at 90mph.

I know the road; it is straight and reasonably wide. You could not lose control merely by driving at 90mph. There must have been another critical factor. He must have also been impaired, or messing about, driving a defective vehicle, hit a huge pothole etc.

We don't make the roads safer by ignoring actual causes of accidents and pretending excessive speed is the major cause. It winds me up!

I was going to say 'blame the parents', but the way the perpetrator who climbs out of the passenger door pulls their hood up as soon as they've clambered out of the car so no one has to look at their f**k ugly face, cracking bit of self-awareness.

This a million times over. I have a big problem with people being jailed just for speeding, even big speeds when it has caused no issue to anyone or anything else bar triggered a camera. I wouldn't have a problem with this clown doing a few weeks inside followed by a driving course.

And so he should. The epitome of self-entitlement. Classic DCW in his first words 'I've got a camera'.

I'd have undertaken him ages ago.

And then be stuck behind the blue car for miles too which didn’t seem to want to move over either.

All of them are bell ends.
