Why the fk should everyone else on the road have to adjust and take action because of his driving?

People who flash overtakers are beyond stupid.

Oh, you're performing a manoeuvre that requires extra concentration / awareness / skill? Let me blind and distract you, that'll help.

On some occasions that is correct. However on some other occasions it can be viewed that if a driver overtaking has not noticed an oncoming car and it is feared that if nothing is done (ie. flashing lights), then a head on collision may occur. Short of having flashing yellow beacons on all cars, a flash of the lights to say "look you dumb f##er there's traffic in this lane", can go a long way to get the blind idiot to move over.

A flick of the hazards and / or liberal use of the brake pedal would be better suited.

I'd almost excuse it if it were an oncoming bike as they are harder to spot, but can you really miss a car coming straight towards you?

I point you towards the Porsche driver in the vid.

I'd argue he was well aware of the car, just misjudged distance / speed. Flashing him mid manoeuvre had zero benefit, it was too late - if you're gonna flash, do it before they commit or all you are doing is making an already dangerous situation more dangerous.

Not really a time to assume that someone has seen you. Better to assume not, shirley?

This. I did wonder if the video would be online if the Porsche driver was in a diesel Seat Ibiza...

I suspect he'd be dead if he'd been driving a diesel Seat Ibiza, as might the flashing on-comer. I would think judging from that video that he had to hit the brakes quite in that instance

Nothing wrong with performing well-judged overtaking manoeuvres, but that 911 driver is a bit of a gambler IMO. Assuming it wasn't just a bad day for him, his luck will probably run out after a while

For all of you that think this was ok according to the HC, can I ask you, if the camera car was a police car, would you have driven like that?

If not, then sit down.

Wouldn't it be ironic if the Porsche owner posted on the thread, 'it WAS a test drive, and he was scaring the crap outta me!'

[lord trumpton]

I wonder if since the video went live, the driver/seller has had his orders from his wife hence the sale?

[AmosMoses]

1st overtake was fine, he did come in a little hot but no harm done. As for the rest... very poor.

In this circumstance, no, considering he was already in the process of pulling in when he got flashed.

He'd be sure about that, you think?

[Stick Legs]

Regardless of the whys wherefores rights and wrongs of the driving I am duty bound to take the side of the Porsche driver because the outrage was directed by the Daily Mail.

Okay, so if a car pulls out of a junction in front of me I should flash them mid manoeuvre too?

The quickest way for them to get out of your way is to just continue what they were doing. Flashing them will only slow that down and increase the chance of errors. Just give them as much space as possible then upload the footage and we will all call them a knob.
