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 t
t.
Nothing on the gantry indicated a lane closure, just reduced to 40 mph
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.What ever it was the KIA has absolutely no right to do what he did, just being a t

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.
t, it isnt his job to bring a lane to a standstill when it is clear ahead.Edited by Vipers on Tuesday 16th January 08:14

The article to go along with this is quite scaryhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-42...
"Nicholas Walker, defending, said: "It is only good fortune no-one was very seriously hurt. It is every driver's nightmare to be on a road and see a HGV coming towards them."
He said Hughes has since been diagnosed with sleep apnoea and, when police spoke to him afterwards, he failed every driver awareness test."
"The court heard how Hughes had earlier started feeling sleepy but did not take the opportunity to take a break as he did not want to be late and get in trouble with his bosses." - I've read about this sort of thing a few times, particularly when an incident like this comes up. Is there much truth in it, and how is this allowed to continue?

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

I've often thought the same thing. Would be handy to have the dot matrix signs that are blank showing something like that or even just fixed signs intermittently saying the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vflGRYipxjo
Although that clip isn't that far out, it's indicative of a lot of drivers I see on my regular M25/M4 stints. Keep left and you end up sailing past at 70mph. Some drivers realise and move left, others just dawdle in the middle lane regardless. Morons.

Not going to argue with you, but the FACT is he is a tt, it isnt his job to bring a lane to a standstill when it is clear ahead.Tankrizzo said:
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.
Only to race up to the back of the next jam of course.Utterly pointless and dangerous overtake by an irrational and impatient yob behind a steering wheel.

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.
If you aren't a cyclist, why are you hanging around in the cycling threads? Do you have a lycra fetish? Or do you simply trawl through all the various forums trying to find peoples opinions that you disagree with?Mr2Mike said:

It's a forum Mike. Maybe you should examine how forums work. This might amaze you but thousands of people read all sorts of threads on PH.Why do lorry drivers ignore red lights? I caught this yesterday, shame there was no sign writing on the lorry to enable me to report him...

All this debate ignores the fact that at the start of the video the cars pass a gantry showing that all the lanes are OPEN with a 40mph limit.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.
So on that basis, the Kia driver has decided to appoint himself hato for the day and close an OPEN lane on the motorway. He's making things worse, not better.

Summed up perfectly.

You can laugh all you want, but as pointed out the fact remains that had the vehicles been the other way round you'd be the first one whinging about how hard done by the cyclist was being cut into by the evil motorist who had no right to do that just because his lane wasn't clear. You really need to get the fact that, by and large, cyclists need to obey the same rules as motorists, they don't get special rights just becuase they choose to ride rather than drive.
Don't come on here and argue with common sense and facts, you evil anti-cyclist bigot.Tankrizzo said:

Yes they do, normally things they have an interest in and enough knowledge to contribute to. I wouldn't start arguing with people in the scale models lounge because a) I have no interest them, I don't collect them or build them b) My lack of knowledge on the subject would make me look like a tt.Edited by Mr2Mike on Tuesday 16th January 14:24
