several examples of near misses due to folk making up their own rules.For example stopping on the main road to let folk out from the side road.
I'm increasingly seeing this on my daily commute.

8:00 - jumping red lights to that extent seems to be becoming more common.

From the BBC website - looks like a Landrover Discovery overturning on the A11 today.
Worth a look despite the joke quality of the footage.

Am I the only one to be a little suspicious of the transit part in that? It is travelling equally as fast as the Discovery and 'makes off' pretty sharpish through the 50 zone. What is the betting one of them pulled out on the other from behind the dashcam vehicle?
Just wish I had a dash cam. Aberdeen today, for those of you who know the area, driving along Blackfriers St toward School hill, there are three single decca buses parked in a line waiting for school kids. I look, all clear pull out to pass.
I am past the second one when a bus turns into the road ahead of me and is coming my way, this is midday, I have dipped DRL'S on, he stops and I thought no worries I can fit through the gap. He realises that and moves 2 metres forward, blocking my exit.
Options, reverse back past three buses, no worries, or he can move back a bit, so I get out to chat to him. He said I should have looked ahead, when I explained the road was clear, he then said "You are on the wrong side of the road", well to pass three buses that blatently obvious I would be on the wrong side of the road, but he wasnt having any of that. So I reverse back, but a queu is forming behing the first bus so I have no where to go, so I drive back toward the bus, he then turns the wheel and moves over just a bit to the left to let me pass.
I wonder sometimes. Rant over.

The fact that I had driven past three buses to the cab of the end one, probably 50/60 metres, and he was about 3 metres from the front of the bus I was alongside shows that he wasnt there when I started driving past them, otherwise he would have driven toward me then, just couldnt believe it when he insisted I was on the wrong side of the road. The road is only a single carriageway, enough room for vehicles to pass one and other, to pass a stationary one you pull out into the oncoming carriageway, but I kept my cool, but was hard I tell you.
He probably was just got angry because he could sense you were the sort of person to post lengthy yarns to the dashcam thread instead of actual footage.jamei303 said:

Maybe time to get a dashcam.

? Looked perfectly fine to me, the cyclist is still cycling, if you don’t hit ‘em with the near side wing mirror then it’s a safe pass. Cycling is dangerous however.
How about I swing a baseball bat at your head, if it misses, that's fine then? Never mind if I get it wrong by an inch, or you move your head by an inch, you're suffering a major injury? Get back in your troll cave.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
