^^ Aside from the dumbass driver crashing the £215k lambo.... did they block the traffic in the other lane for their stupid drag race?

The driving from the cam cars is fairly abismal in a good deal of those clips - 'I've got a camera so am going to go out and catch 'em at it, and if I cannot find them, will create them'.

Massive smash at 5.10ish. Stopped on a slip road when there was a gap to merge too. Idiots.

Guessing thats the end of that Lambo, the rear end has a bit of a height difference side to side.

You cant really unleash cars like that in confined spaces, rev it up a bit but it never ends well if you go for it.

Does make you wonder though, smash up a Lambo, if you get the video and monetise it on Youtube, eventually could you pay for the repairs or even make money ?

Only if you got more views than Pewdiepie. Hopefully they had a fine to pay off on top of that as well.

One that appeared in my suggestions. It's something I see happening more and more, I stopped for an ambulance a few months ago, signalled left, and pulled in, Jazz behind positions to overtake so I beep and tap my mirror, he still overtakes gets a loud foghorn by the ambulance then the driver of the Jazz stuck his middle finger up at me. The lorry driver in this clip even having passed the car seems to be completely unaware of the ambulance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTKkz0PcHfg

A real idiot, has to be said in four years doing 20k miles a year driving I've never had to stop on a slip road, sometimes I've had to brake, sometimes I've had to accelerate harder but never had to stop. The van obviously should have realised the car was stopped but I can sympathise as he was probably looking over his shoulder.

I have. More than once - and I'd kinda expect someone behind to manage not to run up the arse end of me as a minumum.

I've seen that smash elsewhere but from an overhead cam. There is a vehicle in front of the one the van crashes into stopped at the end of the slip with an obstruction in front (shredded tyre, ratchet strap?????). A few vehicles on the slip road are looking far enough ahead they got from the outer lane of the slip road with the obstruction to the inner lane to pass it.

Guess DCW and van were both the "look one car ahead types".

With the number of drivers completely oblivious even to what is happening in front of them it is no surprise that this happens so often these days.

Hard to find much sympathy for that

Good no innocents were hurt and hope the tree is OK

Yep and the van in that clip was paying absolutely no attention whatsoever to the car in front.I'm not going to debate whether the car should have stopped or not in that instance, but as there are several other legitimate reasons why it may have had to stop and the least they can expect is that the vehicles behind are paying attention.

I had similar but the police car coming through had to mount the pavement to avoid the car that swung around me as I pulled in. Mad.

I think this proves the old saying "those who can afford them, usually cannot drive them", the sort of people who buy cars to show off wealth, rather than because they're petrol heads.

Surely these guys have seen the hundreds of similar videos, being filmed by a load of phones and it goes tits up you are on every YouTube Supercar fail video for the rest of eternity.

Love how the number plate is removed, like the C63 crash at the Trafford centre, sorry but you are an numerous videos showing the plate, removing it is pointless and just makes you look shifty.

That is a hell of a car to unleash on a narrow, bumpy street, so easy for it to end badly.

Limited sympathy, but only for being a plank and could have hurt someone, and removing the plates but whoever it is must be smarting today, am sure there will be a Daily Mail article with gleeful comments by people who have a similar outlook to Harry Enfields Old Gits characters.
