The "Sh*t Driving Caught On Cam" Thread (Vol 4)
Discussion

It's primarily up to the car behind to not drive into the car in front,
Of course the driver behind has a duty not to drive into the car in front. No one suggests otherwise.mac96 said:
and that is why insurers have always (and sometimes unfairly) used a rule of thumb that says you are at fault if you drive into the back of someone else, unless there is real evidence to the contrary.
It's a long established position and I don't think anyone's trying to argue against it.mac96 said:
This question was originally about insurer's division of liability, not about advanced driving.
I stated early on in the first of the two clips under discussion that insurance liability would likely go 100% against the driver behind, that much was pretty clear cut. The discussion was about "s
t driving caught on cam" as per the thread title; some of us are arguing from a driver's perspective that it can apply to both the car ahead as well as the car behind, even when the insurance liability falls on just one driver.No one's stopping you posting any.

Can we have MORE videos please and cut out this tedious bickering over semantics. No-one cares.
This thread is dead mate, and I'm fairly sure there are one or two here starting arguments for the fun of it. I just check in now to see what level the moronic bickering has got to :-)

Looks like it. Hard to read the plate - someone parked their Jag in front of it

He even brake-tested a van earlier in the year, and seems unable to use his horn:

It was his brakes he needed, not his horn.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfUMGFWZDUs

WTF's with the first clip? Foreign lorry, car in his blindspot?There is also the small detail that the accident wouldn't have happened if the camera car wasn't driving so slowly to cause trucks limited to 56mph to overtake. By the speed the ISO tank truck went past he wasn't driving at more than 50mph.

Also....might you have been in a previous PH life, a poster with a music-related username (if you see what I mean)?
Previous PH life? WTF. My username is a reference to a PC game that I play.Lemming Train said:

Indeed, I always give it full beans overtaking any foreign registered wagon, for that very reason. You're asking for trouble sitting in their blind spot.
It's not just the foreigners. It's just the same for RHD trucks if you have traffic on your nearside (2 roads merging where a 'new' lane 1 is created, for example). Got to be really careful to check, double check and triple check there's nothing sat on your f/n/s corner before moving over into the lane. I got into the habit of having the passenger side window cranked open slightly so you can hear the road noise if something is there. Saved my bacon on a few occasions.Tankrizzo said:
Ok, no worries, my mistake. You probably play World of Tanks like me. Idiots following each other in a line.....and all that jazz.
It is WOT yes! I wondered after seeing your username if you might play it You probably play World of Tanks like me. Idiots following each other in a line.....and all that jazz. . I haven't played in a while as I lost my rag too many times being bottom tier and having useless top tier heavies. Mostly watch Circon's Twitch VOD downloads but after seeing him rage the MM looks to be worse than ever so I'm in no rush to go back to it. I must say the EBR 75 wheeled tank is looking like a lot of fun but I was useless in the ELC and E-25 so probably don't have quick enough reactions to be any good in it. 
Anyway moving swiftly on..

At 4.50 when the car rear ends the one in front its brake lights start flashing just before the impact. I guess it's possible the driver was pumping the brakes but is it a thing that when ABS kicks in it also makes the brake lights flash? A good idea if that is the case.jurbie said:

Very heavy braking makes the brake lights flash. Been a thing on cars for at least a decade.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
