Really does bring home how distracting phone use can be

Touchscreen in car entertainment should be banned too, I have it in my car and I refuse to use it as it's far too distracting. Anything that takes your eyes of the road is a no no

I don't think the Range Rover was pulled for pulling out tbh as they did so with plenty of time and space without making the other vehicles already on the roundabout slow.

No, when you consider lens distortion, that was a VERY close pull out.

When you crop to imitate a 35mm lens (which is widely considered to be the closest to the human eye) and remove the lens distortion (so that the lamp posts aren't bending anymore), you get something far worse.

Something a little different.

The Russian ones are a bit weird, most drivers OK, but a small number of total idiots, like at 4:02 deliberately blocking and two motorcades given priority over an ambulance.

Seems alright considering how slowly the traffic was moving at that point, the HGV wouldn't have to have slowed at all for him.

I agree with untakenname, I think he was pulled for something different; perhaps being on the phone or maybe he gestured at the unmarked car?

Police car crash in Cleethorpes

https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/grimsby-ne...

Even with a siren, how on earth can a police driver think they can negotiate a cross roads at that speed. Surely resulted in a prosecution.

Really bad driving. If the silver car was a fraction of a second earlier they'd have hit the driver's door likely resulting in death.

If you go a few second before that, the Cop car looks to be moving towards the lefthand lane, but moves out as the Range Rover starts to emerge @20s

Don't he was pulled for the pull out either, didnt cause anyone to slow down etc.

Before the Civic driver got out of the car I imagined he'd be some mad beefy chap, not a dork. What an idiot, he's lucky the driver behind was placid and didn't smash his phone and take the Civic keys and lob them.

Maybe the police car could have indicated ?
Not sure I saw him bother when leaving the roundabout.

And yet you don't hear the HGV driver backing off at all, so couldn't have been that close.

Yet HGV driver is hugely pleased when it's pulled. Odd.

The RR driver wasn't pulled for that, it was a complete non event, perhaps if there was a lean on the horn and an obvious slamming on of the brakes by the lorry which was witnessed by the driver of the police car in his rear view mirrors then yes it may have resulted in a tug.

I can only think that the RR driver was on his phone or wasn't wearing his seat belt.

[DoubleByte]

Complete non event. I'll need the offence explaining if there was one!
Annoying the police by being in their blind spot isn't an offence afaik.

Latest Exposed: UK Dash Cam Compilation

https://youtu.be/vX6aVh4JLUQ?t=425

Civic driver doesn't like being overtaken and speeds up.

Dashcammer then attempts to block Civic overtake.

Both start squabbling for road position.

Civic driver created the situation, but both end up being as bad as each other.

Notice how the old couple almost end up being hit as well. Just ridiculous.

100% the Civic 's fault. The DCW was going a bit quick yes, but didn't do anything apart from simply overtake. The Civic twunt then goes mental deliberately brake checking and very nearly causing a big crash. It's the classic self-appointed road Police wker stuff. Look how he walks out with his phone like he's a member of the Police with their notebooks.

Civic driver takes offense at another driver overtaking and 'speeding'.......and decides to educate him by......erm.....overtaking at an even higher speed. Knob logic

Civic driver needs taking of the road.

Civic driver drove, looked and behaved like an utter rocket, they walk amongst us.

Camera car could have been overtaking / speeding for all manner of reasons, e.g injured / sick child in the car and rushing to hospital etc. The Civic driver has no business in Policing the road like that and in such a dangerous fashion, that elderly couple on the pavement could easily have been wiped out. I’m guessing it’s probably not the first time he’s acted like a complete tt. Needs reporting to Police and hopefully a ban will teach him a lesson.

Injured/sick child is no excuse to speed to the hospital.

Not odd at all, why wouldn't he be pleased that someone driving badly gets pulled?
