That's absolutely disgraceful. Really makes my blood boil that does, absolute bellends of the highest order. I hope that makes its way to police who deal with them, you don't block a lane because you think it's closed, unfortunately this behaviour is often seen on approach to merge in turns. Knobs of the highest order, police marksmen on bridges would sort it out.

I’ll never understand the mentality of people like this. Get the fk out of the way.

What a that Kia driver was! I've had this before, once I did manage to squeeze on by. That pleased them!

I think you're all being taken in by the dashcam warrior. Notice the cut In the editing at the end where it tries to make it look like all the traffic on the left was stopped for no reason

We never did get to see why all the traffic was stationery because it was edited out.

Till I know I reserve judgement on whether the KIA was right or wrong to hold the traffic up.

I think it was a ghost hold up, where there is no incident, but for some reason people brake, the one behind does etc etc and you have the domino effect and it all comes to a grinding halt. Often come across them north of Brum on the M6, guess we have been caught in some.

What ever it was the KIA has absolutely no right to do what he did, just being a tt.

Nothing on the gantry indicated a lane closure, just reduced to 40 mph

Maybe the previous gantry had shown all vehicles to move in to the two left lanes, in which case of course he should have moved left himself.

Again its just people that cant handle being called a dhead after they have been a dhead, why is everyone such a soft arse nowadays, do they go home and cry to mummy that someone beeped them.

As for the cyclist in the 2nd clip, he is in the left lane and the ranger is in the right lane, the cyclists lane is closed off by roadworks, nothing in the rangers lane so the cyclist just pulls out and then blames the ranger driver for getting too close, are you not meant to check there is space to do so before changing lanes?

I disagree there tbh, very poor anticipation by the Ranger driver. Would have been very obvious that the cyclist would need to come out. The driver probably saw what was happening and tried to blast past before the cyclist pulled out as he knew he would have been forced to wait until the road widened out again.

Agreed on total lack of anticipation by the car driver, but that doesn't absolve the cyclist of the responsibility to make observations before changing lanes. Yet another display of a vulnerable road user relying purely on the actions of other road users for their safety, rather than riding defensively.

As with probably 90% of these clips, it's a meeting of two idiots that triggers the event.

It doesn't look like lack of anticipation, it looks looks like lack of consideration. If he can't consider all other road users then he shouldn't be among them. Of the two of them he was the one who could see that the cyclist needed to go first so he pushed through as though the cyclist wasn't there and he was in such a rush that he stopped afterwards for an argument..

Yes as all cyclists should be able to pull out with impunity as what's the worst that could happen? Obviously they are bound to come off better against a 1.5 tonne vehicle so no need for self preservation!

His lane was clear, the cyclist's lane wasn't. If had been the other way round you'd all be whinging at how bad the Ranger was for cutting into the cyclist's lane.

Even if that were the case (I highly doubt it by the way), as soon as you travel under the next gantry if it doesn't indicate a lane closure then that takes preference. As the gantry in the video was only stating '40' then all lanes are open.

Could be absolutely right there, the usual combination of busy motorway and driving to close resulting in a hold up.

As you say, the gantry showed 40mph not a closed lane so traffic should be allowed to simply continue in that lane. Talk about being a self righteous **** for thinking you can impede the flow of hundreds of other vehicles because you don't think they should pass.

You'll often see people queuing for miles in two lanes when a third is open but merges further along the road. People then get sh**ty about people who've used the entire road and then try and merge in. Lane closures are different but from that clip (that we can see at least) the KIA driver has no right to do that.

Same could be said about the cyclist.

Yes I'm not saying he was right just trying to suggest why he might think all cars should be in the left lanes. He signaled at one point for the camera car to move left so he obviously had some reason to think that's what everybody should have been doing.

He may have thought that, but that's irrelevant. It's not up to the guy to attempt to police the roads.

You're the anti-bike weirdo who sewages up the cyclist threads, aren't you. Not going to bother with you. I'm not even a cyclist.

Er, you just did! And no I'm not anti-bike, I ride a bike, I'm anti the certain type of cyclist who rides like a **** and there's lots of them in London!

Nah that's just guessing. I can do that. Just before dashcam warrior shows you the footage police guy in road is trying to push everyone left because of a hazard on the road. Some people obey. Some decide they know better and revert to the fast lane to make some ground up. When they reach the crash they push left thereby stopping everything that did pull over when told.

Truth is my version of events is no more valid that yours where the KIA driver appoints himself as hato for the day.

I just find it a little suspicious that dashcam worrior posts up footage which has been heavily edited and you lot swallow it as fact.

If the date and time on the video is correct then the M62 was fully closed in both directions a few miles up the road as someone had jumped off Scammonden bridge again. Again, if the date and times are correct I think that was roughly when it was re-opened hence why it may look like a ghost hold up.

Have to say the guy with the dash cam was very calm. I'd have been tempted to key crude drawings all over his car until he got out the fking way!

[MrGTI6]

A bit boring, but I was doing an indicated 75 in lane one approaching this pair of brain-dead morons in lane two. They can't have been doing any more than 60.

Once I had passed them the driver of the Transit flashed his lights at me, presumably unhappy with being undertaken, although he remained in lane two, continuing to overtake absolutely nothing.

I'd like to see some "KEEP LEFT UNLESS OVERTAKING" signs on the motorway, as these idiots actually think they're in the right!
