You should have read what was coming in plenty of time and moved to the middle lane. A near miss for absolutely no reason.

You didn't read it at the time and obviously can't see the obvious in the video either. That's even more concerning.

Surely that's posted as a wind up. Terrible display of driving and should be charged as a dangerous driving offence.

Yup. Terrible anticipation and forward planning

Why oh why would you post up a video highlighting just how poor a driver you are? You should be cringing with embarrassment at that. You had loads of time to see what was going to happen and to move into the middle lane...

[FreeLitres]

I'm calling Troll or wind-up.

A seasoned PH'er surely wouldn't admit to that poor level of driving.

(This is your get out - take it!)

[scenario8]

Just to add for anyone who travels North on the A3 at Wisley; please, if you can, stay out of lane 1 until passing that slip entry even if you want L1 shortly after for the M25. It really is a tricky entry slip even for a powerful car and a press on driver. For the majority of traffic leaving RHS Wisley, for a variety of predictable reasons, that entry is dangerous. Plain and simple. Especially if encountering passive aggressive nobbers.

DCW - please drive better. Thanks.

Congrats....you get a "I am a tt" award

Holy fk, what was in lane 2 or 3 to prevent you from moving over? Secondly, I'm not surprised the blue car slowed, he saw you bearing down on him and hoped you'd pass, instead you sit in lane 1. Had the blue car completed his merge with you going at that speed, he would have clipped your nearside rear wing as you passed, putting you in a spin.

After spinning a 360, your tyres would have regained traction with you pointing towards the barrier, still doing 90mph as you won't have the sense to take your foot off the accelerator, and propelled you head first at 90mph in to the crash barrier.

I haven't picked 90mph as an arbitrary figure, either. 90mph was the speed you were doing. I know that because I counted the centre line markings over the course of 5 seconds and ascertained the speed from the distance you travelled divided by the time. I double checked on google earth (this is northbound A3 by J10 of the M25)

I can only assume your complete fkwittery was as a result of another car on your offside, and you'd have taken them out too during your pirouette in to the crash barrier.

Your continued existence is an affront to the principles of Darwinism, so fk off and die. Meanwhile your driving standards fall well below what is expected on these forums. Don't let the door smack you on your arrogant ass on the way out.

Wow! Awesome comments guys. PH is ace.

Your pass was disgracefully dangerous. Have a word with yourself.

I'd happily see you banned for that. What did you want them to do? Slam their brakes on at the end of the slip road? Show some fking common sense and co-operation. Time to grow up.

[VGTICE]

Wooooah, calm down everybody. Although not the smartest move from driving etiquette point of view it's the car that joins the motorway that needs to make sure that it's ok to go beyond the yield line.

6 of one etc. At those speeds some consideration and fore thought goes a long way to making everyone's journey safer. Ignoring the technicalities of road markings.

Which comments do you think are unfair/unjustified given the clip?

Why didn't you move into Lane 2?

At the end of the day, this was almost a significant incident that would have otherwise been a non issue with 3 second manoeuvre from yourself.

I can understand if there was a car passing you in 2 (and as such forced your hand), but the clip doesn't demonstrate this.

Events were clearly unfolding and you either 1) didn't spot them and as such found yourself surprised or 2) saw events unfolding but barrelled into them anyway.

They should slam their brakes on at the end of the slip road if their entry isn't clear, according the the HC. Everyone knows the HC is ignored, so sensible would be move to middle lane.

Beat them both with a wet lettuce.

Whereas the advanced driver would adopt slip lane discipline and move in to lane 2 as standard driving practice.

• looks at profile, assuming this guy is a windup*

• blinks*

• checks a few posts*

Seriously, you do work with/work for Peter Morgan? Does he let you near customer cars?

Oh no, video removed

Shock horror shock.

[LarJammer]

I removed it incase someone blew an artery, then id be a murderer too.
Here are the facts - op travelling at c.70mph in lane 1 of a major A road. Large gap to the car in front. Blue car on slip road ahead slows right down & joins A road at c.30mph about 2 car lengths ahead of op. Op swerves around blue car and gives him some horn. Everyone lives and gets on with their day. Internet goes mad.

[scenario8]

As someone who uses the A3 (which isn't a motorway, by the way (although some treat that section as a stretch of Autobahn)) and who uses that slip road frequently and who shares the roads with all manner of drivers every day I'd suggest your driving was terrible. Your attitude wasn't any good either. It doesn't appear to have improved either if you continue to believe your own analysis.

As before, can everyone please grant a bit more respect to traffic emerging from that slip road? The design is unhelpful and the nature of the traffic using that service road, specifically using L1 of the A3 at that point and the demographics and nature of traffic emerging from that slip road (it is the exit of a major national horticultural gardens) makes the junction a bit of a dangerous section of tarmac.

Oh, and when travelling at circa 70mph (cough cough) please don't try to teach others lessons by giving them very deliberate Red Arrows style near misses. Thanks.

If there was a car in 2 he'd have nowhere to go. Would that still be his fault and how does that add or remove fault from the other party who didn't make sure 1 is clear before pulling out?

It's similar to typical PH outrage i.e. lorries barging their way out of 1 into 2 without giving a single fk if they block/bump into anyone.
