Fresh Exposed: UK Dashcams. Amazingly, the first two events actually are happenings rather than the usual fare of roundabouts being mishandled.

Local video at about 2.30 for my fellow Northern Irish posters! Looks to be at the Broadway roundabout as you can see the 'balls of the Falls'. Edit to add: Henry is a dick.

Clip starting at 7:47 - what a prize idiot the camera car driver is. Drive defensively and avoid a confrontation to keep traffic flowing? Nah, I'll zoom towards oncoming traffic, create a blockage and make the other driver reverse just to prove a point.

6:12 - what the hell was the cam car doing? They know full well there's a merge point!

That's Henry, the heart attack in a hatchback who I mentioned in my original post.

He has a few clips in that compilation and, as far as I recall, they're all either totally avoidable or blown out of proportion.

I don't have sound on, but I bet he's pointing at his dash cam, whilst screaming "DASH CAM". He probably screams that when he wks into his socks, too.

[Krikkit]

Agreed, what an absolute, prize plum.

Enjoy the new vid.

Wiccy.

Clip at 0:55 - this is where the A339 joins the A34 Northbound at Newbury. I've been working nearby sicne the start of July and I've lost count of the number of numpties I've seen drive across the solid white lines / chevrons as happens in the clip. The signs could not be clearer as to which lane to be in yet they still do it.

Either that or they get in the right hand land of the A339 miles before the a34 and sit there at 40mph

Really hope the driver of the Merc got jail time for that and a long ban.

Looks to me like he is expecting the black astra to merge, as it should do, but which then decides to stop and block all traffic.

Does dash cam car clip a car in the middle lane at the end? Looked like he had plenty of time to stop if he hadn't been directing a movie.

Rear ended, he wasn't far enough over to make contact with the car in the middle lane.

And someone suggested we retest "Older drivers", with loons like this loose on our roads.

I don't think he was, he was grabbing the camera to save the file. Obviously the first thing you do.

Nah, just pushing the save button on the camera, surely.

Had this one yet?

Discovery crash on the M4:

Looks like a failure on the car of some kind, pretty scary crash!

Indeed - Lane 3 to lane 1 and then landed up in lane 2 of the opposite carriageway!

Husband of the Disco driver on YT comments said:

Amazingly.. my Wife and Daughter walked away from this! They are shaken but fine. Discovery is totalled

To the best of our knowledge, overtightened wheel bolts.

Stud failure! The assessor also thinks there might have been an issue with the Watts Linkage, but deemed it a 'non fault' fault accident due to mechanical failure

One of the commenters says it was his wife driving (she's fine) and as far as they know it was down to over-tightened wheel bolts.

[GordonL]

You can see the left rear wheel part company and bounce away as the car rolls....

[_dobbo_]

Scary stuff. That Aston Martin on the other carriageway has a very very lucky escape.

[Flibble]

Those cable barriers do nothing to stop even a small vehicle like the Discovery. No wonder they're moving to the solid concrete type.
