There is a few of these pages appearing on instagram recently, filled with idiots who think they're in Gran Turismo

Yeh ill just use this disappearing-slip lane over a blind crest and everything will be fine...

The driver ought to be locked up for good. They clearly have no regard for anyone else's safety.

I've got a mental image of what the occupants of the car would look like, and I bet it's fairly accurate.

Last clip is a scary one.

2.18, good reactions to say that's a learner.

That's the one that struck me too - and he/she got going again promptly- no panic or freezing up.

wonder what the story was?

earlier incident off camera and road rage gone OTT?

personal feud?

attempted theft of dashcam car? Golf R, RS Audi or similar?

but yeah, the 2 folk that got out of the focus certainly had intent.

Have to admit, if I was faced with the same situation (had I done nothing to antagonise or create said situation) I'd like to think I'd be able to drive at the people trying to attack me, hitting them if needed in order to get away if I had no other option.

In the real world though, not so sure I'd be able to do it....

Reversing only so I could get a run up...

Well at least the car drove around him after knocking him off I suppose

“Assault with a car” what a load of bks, he only lightly tapped him.

Of course it's assault , he deliberately drove at him and hit him , how could it be anything other than assault , though he'll probably just walk away with a fine

Very likely to be the instructor taking control there.

3:50 - could see it happening a mile off, just back off and let it go

3:20 - cyclist giving driver the finger when completely in the wrong... must be in training for moving to London!

8:35 - could see it happening a mile off, just back off and let it go

9:20 - could see it happening a mile off, just back off and let it go

IMHO a large proportion of the compilation footage appear easily avoidable.

Nonsense, always accelerate into an “incident” whilst making sure to use the horn..

And ensure you get footage !

Yep, the solid line is there for the two side roads, which the poster seems to have ignored as unworthy of consideration.

It's not - otherwise the other side of the road would have a solid line too which it doesn't.

Interesting scenario actually - clearly the Audi is wrong because the law is clear cut - you must not cross a solid white line.

But why is there a solid white line there? There are numerous examples of roads elsewhere without a solid white line at points closer to crests than that.

As I posted in the 'knob' thread yesterday...

Some Korean looking small SUV thing with BMW badges, which pulled out on me out of a side street. Even though I had to brake pretty heavily to avoid hitting him, I just let it go and carried on.

When we entered a more built up area I was still behind him, but noticed a lot of arm waving from the driver as he deliberately sped up and drove towards pretty much every hazard that presented itself which wouldn't have been an issue. Then leaning on the horn, arm waving and fumbling around his rear view mirror for his dash cam.

He didn't just do it a couple of times, but pretty much every car that was inching out of a side street, every oncoming car that was slightly crossing the white line to pass parked cars, etc, he'd accelerate towards it, hand on the horn, then fumble for his dash cam.

At a pelican crossing the lights were on red, but just as the lights started to flash amber a young woman started to run across. BMW deliberately set off towards her and slammed on right away, again, hand on the horn, arms waving, shouting out of the window, dash cam fumble.

Every single one of the issues he created wouldn't have been an issue at all if he didn't create them himself.

I'm sure he'll have gone home and mashed one out over his footage whilst emailing it off to every dash cam compilation channel he could find.

Dual controls more than likely as it's a learning school car

[anonymous-user]

So many of those clips are drivers either procuring a close shave or being oblivious to it's obvious development. Many of them are just You've Been Framed on wheels.

Certainly a possibility but I'd have thought it would probably take longer to recover and get going again if that was the case.

I beat my examiner to the brake when a car came flying along at 60 in a 30 as I was pulling out of a side street while on the test. He later said after it was all over that could have counted as an emergency stop if I hadn't already done one so not every L plate driver is clueless or just starting out.

If I was in a st car, I'd have at least taken that door with me!

We have no stand-your-ground law in this country. You have a little more flexibility when in your own home, but even then you may still have a duty to flee if it's possible, I believe.

Problem is if you're in the car, and they're out of theirs, and you don't have a clear path to drive away, then short of running them over or at least suggesting you might, you're at a huge disadvantage.

Fair play to the driver going backwards and avoiding the issue, I am not sure I could have resisted going forward in that situation when a load of geysers jump out of a car and run at me, not being a "badass" but quite happy to take a door or two off and take them for a short ride on the bonnet, use the car as a weapon when threatened like that, never at any other time but in that situation its all you have.

I had a guy have a Road Rage at me in a tuned RS Turbo years ago, i was going quickly and he made a rash overtake nearly having a head on, I backed off so he could complete without hitting the oncoming van, I beeped he brake tested me and we stopped, he got out, left his door open and started shouting the odds, I told him to get back in his car whilst it still had a drivers door Was quite prepared to carry it out as well .

Why would that be better than reversing? Looks there there are still two people in the Focus, including the driver. If you ran over the two rear-seat passengers the remaining occupants could easily chase you down and shoot you to death.
