Is it just me, or have mk1 Focuses become the current car to give a wide berth to?

Unreal. Hope the driver was on the phone to the cops. Didn't look like he was for stopping though!

[carreauchompeur]

Already lost a mirror as well. Scary

[TheGreatSoprendo]

Nice of the cammer to stop and help!

[liner33]

At least two people were already stopped no need for anymore to stop imo , I wouldnt have , far better to call the police etc from the nearest phone

Probably not with 7 minutes of evidence in their pockets. Only saving grace is that he / she didn't take anyone else out.

1. don't film it, call the police. that should have been stopped asap before possibly letting someone die!!
2. pull over, stop, provide video evidence!!
3. film in the correct orientation. my TV isn't on its side!!

clearly drunk

or maybe the sat nav "head up display" was obstructing the view too much

When are 'drivers' going to learn to not cruise alongside other vehicles, particularly HGVs (and LHD ones at that!!!) on motorways?

[problemchild1976]

agreed - or any vehicle

never hang in anyones blind spot

just dab the throttle for a few seconds and get past

even in an average speed camera section its not going to make a difference doing 55 for a few seconds

At 5:10 the yellow Ford crash - another reason to only use the outside lane for overtaking. She had no hard shoulder to escape to and couldn't even move left because she wasn't doing any overtaking and so probably wasn't aware of the speed differential with vehicles in lane 1.

Again at 6:53. If you're in the outside lane you really need to know what's going on ahead of the vehicle immediately in front of you, especially if you can't easily see past it.

Not quite dashcam but close enough and it's amazing she's able to drive the car at all looking at the state it's in!

A few really odd things about that film.

Why does it take so long for a roadworthy car to catch a completely trashed one, surely it's not capable of going very quickly?
Why wait so long to call 911, would that not be the first thing you did?
Why does the 911 call not get answered?

I got flamed for saying the same a few pages back. With my Dad being a HGV driver, we were always told not to hang around beside lorries, not just to avoid a blind spot swipe but also incase a tyre blows, which the first clip illustrates well.


Also the Audi/CRV & whatever hit the Micra could both have been avoided if each DCW was paying attention or not looking for video coverage, yes other drivers in the wrong but both avoidable by a competent driver.

Considering the elephant racing going on in lane 2 and several cars passing in lane 3, what would the Mercedes realistically be expected to do?

Woman on bike at beginning- unbelievable. Her kid could have been badly hurt, especially as not wearing a helmet, but she barely looked at him- much more interested in having a row with the driver than checking.
Not saying the accident was altogether her fault though.
