For the first clip, form an image in your mind of the kind of driver that would behave like that. Then, compare your mental image with the person that gets out of the car.

Is this dangerous or am I being a snowflake?
DCW in the wrong lane for first half of clip- inconsiderate, not dangerous.
DCW then gets upset when as a result of being in the wrong lane someone passes him on the left and flashes lights- stupid, but not in itself dangerous.
DCW Accelerates when he sees the Civic indicating - Now that is dangerous
Other guy brake tests DCW- now that IS dangerous, regardless of obvious provocation.

So- two plonkers met. Howzat?
Edited that for you
Normally find it a bit irritating when posters edit others' posts for comic effect etc- but in this case you are spot on, I did not originally notice the 'let's deliberately make it a close call to give him a fright ' acceleration.cool
Fast lane hogging - check
Speeds up - check


Just compounds what I think about dashcam types. Self ritgheous and think everyone else is wrong.

I noticed on another compalation drivers are either dawdling or going to fast.

What do they expect?

Yeah Shane is a bit of a plonker. Don’t have any sympathy for the moped who turned out the road then got stty with the van driver who was already indicating to pull in.

Anyone got any more dashcam shootouts ?

Shocking/horrific but also greatly entertaining, especially if you’ve spent the week / good Friday stuck in traffic !

The Russians I’m told are particularly susceptible...

Have asked this before about this clip but don't think I've had an answer...

What should Cam Car have done differently? (Apart from trying to prevent the undertake)

He was leaving about 1 second gap between him and the car in front.

He wanted to overtake the traffic in L2 but couldn't go any faster because there's a car in front.

If he'd pulled into L2 then he'd simply lose his place in the overtaking "queue".

What exactly is one supposed to do when you're held up from going any faster in L3 by the cars in front?

That first clip 100% fault of the cam car for that accident he sped up to tailgate the Clio and got found out when the traffic stopped.

"It's all on dashcam" yeah showing you 100% at fault the Muppet.

Stolen was my first thought. Hits the barrier and then carries on, you'd at least stop to take a look at any damage not f.off at speed.

or maybe no or invalid insurance?
Embarrassment was my first thought. I've seen people crash having done silly things and then limped on - perhaps to find a quiet spot to view the damage.
Yep, years ago when I worked elsewhere, we were shutting up for the night and pulled up the posts to shut off the car park but left a couple down so a car could still get through as we were still 15 minutes away from actually closing.

In drives a Rover 75, there is a crunch and he's ripped off his rear bumper, it is only being held on by the O/S, the rest is dragging behind, he just drives on and out the other side of the car park, never to be seen again, as if nothing had happened, probably too embarrassed to stop in front of us to check it out.

Relax, and move over to L2 or L1 as appropriate.

L3 isn't travelling any faster than L2. Moving to L2 would give you the necessary 2 second gap rather than being in a queue of impatient muppets all driving too close to each other.

If he is in lane 3 and someone undertakes in future might I suggest some defensive driving, i.e. ease off and drop back a bit rather than accelerating into the gap ?

Proving a point and possibly ending up in an accident is not worth it in my view... doesn’t matter who’s “right” there are plenty of idiots out there if you do want to write your car off...

Agreed. However the preceding merge by the Clio driver was cretinous.

Why should he have to do that? He's driving perfectly legally (apart from the ill advised speeding up at the end, as I've already said), and making as much progress as he can, yet on PH he is viewed as lane hogging and should move over... confused

I'll be doing a 6 hour motorway trip next week, if I followed your advice I'd end up in L1 with the lorries for most of the way and end up taking another hour or so to get there...

L3 clearly is moving slightly quicker as evidenced by the fact that the car in front in L3 was passing the car in L2, in these scenarios once the dawdler at the front of the queue gets out of the way L3 can sometimes speed up quite noticeably.

Absolutely was a scum bag move.

DCW got wrong footed thinking the 4x4 was going to take that exit and that gave Clio wker enough space to cut him up like that shame dcw didn't hit him then tbh.

Whole situation looked like chaos.
