Who was in the wrong here? Police or cam car?? Near miss UK North east - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB_MBna0irI
Police driver was wrong, he/she essentially overtook a car on the roundabout and didn't check it was clear before moving back to lane 1.DCW is brave to flash the police car though, I assume he felt the cam would protect him.
It was basically crap driving by the police that caused the almost incident

The comments confuse me with the dashcam videos. People manage to see things that didn't happen.

The police car didn't overtake the car. The police car was ahead the entire video.

You are right about the overtake, I watched it on a tiny screen, but I thought the police car was alongside at the entrance to the roundabout, actually he was slightly ahead.The comments confuse me with the dashcam videos. People manage to see things that didn't happen.
Still police drivers fault, he changed lanes without checking and it was clear that both lanes can be used for that exit

I agree in insurance terms, but most roundabout incidents are 50/50. Cam car didn't undertake though at the give way line he was about a bonnets length behind and stayed roughly in that position until the BiB changed lanes without checking his mirrors. BiB should know to make repeated checks of his blind spot, lets face it on PH the BiB repeatedly tell us about how highly trained they are as drivers
I bet the BiB view would be different if the police cars and cam cars were in each others positions.

Lanes aside, the police car is indicating right as he gets to, and enters, the roundabout. Might excuse the DCW speeding up the inside but from his reaction and subsequent overtake you get the feeling he might just drive like that all the time.

Jesus Christ. I've never see such a sorry bunch of videos before. What is with people blaring their horn for literally no reason?! Half of those could of been avoided easily by the cam drivers.imdeman87 said:

Unless the driver is blind, that might be a classic case of A pillar obstruction._dobbo_ said:
THat first one on exposed would be fun when talking to the insurers.
"I was illegally using the bus lane to skip a queue of traffic when someone else also illegally used the bus lane and we collided".
Presumably, the bus lane was not operational, which is why both drives went to use it. "I was illegally using the bus lane to skip a queue of traffic when someone else also illegally used the bus lane and we collided".

It is perfectly acceptable to exit a roundabout in to lane 1, yes plod should have indicated and checked both N/S mirror and shoulder check but still 90 % DCW fault, their subsequent attitude test failure could have resulted in a lengthy interview without coffee. As this is just a basic bib carrier the level of extra instruction is minimal and possibly driven by a plastic police person.

What a load of tosh, a) the road markings on the entry to the roundabout indicated one lane for going into first exit, two lanes for going straight on (i.e. 2nd exit). Meaning both the dashcam car and the police car used 2nd exit and if they wanted to change lanes should have made sure it's ok to do so and indicate. No wonder driving standards are sAs this is just a basic bib carrier the level of extra instruction is minimal and possibly driven by a plastic police person.
te if people go by what is perfectly acceptable in their heads not by the rules.Mandat said:

edit: saying that, a bus in a bus lane doesn't automatically mean it's operational of course.
Certainly around these parts bus lanes are a free for all when there is a queue. Which means if you actually stay out of the bus lane you'd better be careful moving left at the end because some t
t will be flying up the inside skipping the queue.Edited by _dobbo_ on Friday 28th April 16:27
Police car was indicating right, suggesting it's going to exit 3, but took 2 without indicating left.
The cam car (as would I) would be expecting them to go right in the right lane indicating right, would get a shock when they cut left pretty sharpish.
I wouldn't be on the horn giving it the full coffee beans to a police car though, that's for sure.
