The "Sh*t Driving Caught On Cam" Thread Vol 3
Discussion

I dare say they'd make a lot more money if they fined everyone spotted lane hogging than setting up speed traps.
Yep. I'd also go as far as saying most people who lane hog will also be guilty of being a member of the 40 everywhere club, or those people who you'll see behind you, far in the distance who will creep up on you and sit on your bumper even though you've been doing the limit and they shouldn't have been able to close the gap until you slowed. At least people who use lanes properly will most probably be the ones who rarely speed or if they do will only do so when 'safe'.

Civic 100% in the wrong for me.

hole decides to undertake and cut into his braking gap.For those that think the cam car contributed, exactly how close to the car in front should he have been driving for the undertake to be inappropriate, in your eyes?

Agreed, cam car was leaving less than 2 seconds gap to the car in front in the overtaking lane, he couldn't overtake any quicker than he was, yet some ahole decides to undertake and cut into his braking gap.

It’s not about how close they were - up to the point of the civic indicating, bad lane discipline aside (from many cars not just the cam car), the cam car was ok.hole decides to undertake and cut into his braking gap.For those that think the cam car contributed, exactly how close to the car in front should he have been driving for the undertake to be inappropriate, in your eyes?
But as soon as the civic indicates you see the cam car accelerate to close the gap and put his lights on full whack. That directly contributed to the brake check.
Had the cam car not closed the gap, or more likely had he not flashed too, then the civic would have gone about its undertaking business and likely be out of the cam cars way when it does it to the next bunch of cars.
Cam car didn’t need to get involved. Civic made a stupid manouveur, cam car gained nothing but a stain on the drivers seat by his response.

Surely if the cam car moves out of the outside lane, any car/s behind them will just take their place? It seems a bit pointless to move over, because everyone in that lane wants to be going faster.
But if EVERYONE got out of L3, then everyone would make better progress. It is the fear of "losing your place in the queue" that leads to this in the first place, coupled with one moron who is in "I'm doing 70mph, so I don't need to get out of the way of anyone" mode.The Germans have a far better lane discipline. It you are in L3, whatever speed you are doing, you are impeding someone's legal progress. And they will tell you - flashing, horn, even (and I've seen it) physical bumping. There is zero tolerance for this type of behaviour - lead, follow or get out the way.

So in Germany, should the cam car be bumping the car in front (rather than keeping a safe distance), or being bumped from behind?

ou can clearly see that cars are also queuing in all 3 lanes, except for two cars. How can you expect the cars in lane 3 to move into lane 2, if there is no space?

In Germany, that wouldn't have happened. The cars queuing in L3 would be long gone. The car in the far distance in L3 would be flashing his lights and the car ahead of him in L2 would get out of his way. Everyone makes better progress and there is far less bunching in this manner.So in Germany, should the cam car be bumping the car in front (rather than keeping a safe distance), or being bumped from behind?
Also, when did it become unacceptable to flash one's lights to tell the person ahead to get the feck out of your way?
30 years ago, it was perfectly acceptable to use a flash of the lights to 'warn another road user of your presence'. Said road user would realise that he was causing an impedance and glide out of one's way.
Now it is seen as a declaration of war. Coffee bean gestures are used. A brake test may ensue. Everyone gets held up. It's pointless.

Could see a mile off that civic was going to undertake.
If DCW was so bothered Rather than flash lights etc etc after the event
DCW should have been awake and accelerated hard to close the gap as he saw the civic passing him on the left
What gap? He was trying to overtake the cars in L2, was blocked by the cars in front of him, and was leaving about a 1 second gap to the car in front. How close should he get?If DCW was so bothered Rather than flash lights etc etc after the event
DCW should have been awake and accelerated hard to close the gap as he saw the civic passing him on the left

Shocking conduct. Get yourself some advanced driver training. That entire situation was predictable and avoidable. What did you gain by closing the gap and flashing your headlights? The benefit to you was? What did it achieve?
The Motorway isn't your private playground for messing around with cr&p like that.
Think about the other people on that stretch of road and what they were trying to achieve with their lives and journeys.
Your driving reminds me of that Dashcam purveying philanthropist Matthew Stockdale who engineered a confrontation with a truck on the M1 to get some sensational footage to help peddle his wares.

what do you expect him to do when idiots wont pull over no matter how empty lane 2 and lane 1 are
I could understand it if the car in outside lane was the leading car as this would then be making a statement. But to do it to further back in the chain is just being a nob.Brake tested by a bike, probably 100x more stupid than doing so in a car. I mean, who shall end up dead if it goes wrong?!

I presume it's a retort to the car driver either giving him the coffee beans or a blast of the horn?
