Cut up tonight by BMW on M25

[calibrax]

It's moves like this that give BMW drivers a bad name. Not going to rant... just hope the owner of RO60FSU sees this and realises what a prick he was.

He will be the one that is late and his time is very, very important. What ever you do, do not get in his way.

[Presuming Ed]

Is that a 318d?

Oh the indignity

If you get upset about being cut up by BMW's you must spend a lot of the time being upset...........

See worse most days..

Those photocopiers won't sell themselves you know

To be fair, you could see he was aiming for that from the moment he moved from L3. Not defending him at all, but you could have either backed off a little or closed the door a little earlier to pin him in L2 if you were so inclined. As it was, he went for a gap that was far too small, but still do-able (if you're an arrogant little rep).

Hanging is too good blah blah....

Btw I'd like my 0:25 back please

[Bushi]

Was it just a trick of the camera? seems like you really sped up when you saw him coming.

[hornbaek]

Well - you are actually undertaking in the slow lane.

Pretty tame to be honest, you could anticipate what he was going to do in advance. Still a tt though

No I'm not, I'm keeping left as I'm coming off at J6. Look at the motorway gantry signs at the start of the video.

Ok do I don't genuinely understand this but why do people have cameras in their cars filming stuff ?

Is it for insurance ? Or is it like the cyclists who run red lights cut you up and then film you ?

I am confused ( it doesn't take much though to be honest !!)

I actually slowed slightly as I kinda anticipated his move. The video is slightly deceptive because I accidentally applied YouTube's "steadycam" to the video, which screwed it up... it's being undone, but seems to be taking a while.

This is one reason.

You should not have to do this. Wait in turn like everyone else.

I can just about understand having a camera and using it to catch out fraudsters, but using it to post up every example of bad driving you see is going to get pretty boring for the rest of us.

I don't get this craze for shaming people on the internet. Suck it up and move on.

I see this pretty much every day to be fair. Usually happens where the M42 and the M6 toll merge

It's one video. If I posted EVERY example of bad driving I see, then I'd spend more time uploading than driving!
