Driving in the outside lane and filming at the same time? Hope whoever it was gets scooped and charged for dangerous driving.

What an odd video.....

You've assumed it's a right-hand drive car.

What an incredibly sad individual.

You know when you come to stop on the w/way because of an accident on the other carriageway, it's because of idiots like this slowing down for a good look.

indeed, ruddy frustrating!
I've always liked those venetian blind type vertical things the French have on some of their Autoroute central reservation barriers.... if you loook directly to the side you can see through....if you look ahead you can't.... simple genius.

Surely that would still have allowed sideways filming?
No problem with this really - at least it gives you a clue as to what the hold up is all about

Indeed they are clever...would be nice not to need them at all but still they are very good.

You'd have to know that there was an incident, and exactly where it was to get the shot....you wouldn't see that there was a hold up on the other side or if there had been an accident as the blinds block your view of whats ahead on the other side of the motorway...

The hold up is invariably due to slackjawed idiots slowing down for a goggle.

This it winds me the fk up, the amount of time I have been held up and thought, oh there must be an accident, only to then pass it on the other carriageway and realise its just fking rubberneckers slowing us down

Sad sad little pricks hoping to see some gore who would probably throw up if they saw a pot of blood

Fair assumpion to make in this country, don't you think?

I'm not sure it is. You only see people looking across the otherside when theyre trying to work out why their side has slowed up.
It's more likely to be due to a gap in the central reservation vortex when one side stops

Think 99% of the time it's what Flintstone said...
Some slow a little bit, others over compensate...job done...tailback.

Was it you who uploaded it?

[Pet Troll]

Whoa, didn't expect such a negative reaction to the Video!

For all of you who are making assumtions about any bad driving, I kept my eyes firmly on the suddenly braking cars in front of me so as not to cause an accident, I wouldn't risk gawping at an accident only to run into the back of someone else. One of my passengers filmed it and showed it to me and I just thought it might be of some interest to some of you, but you live and learn eh!
