Classic demonstration of why it is dangerous to ride/drive at speeds so high other drivers are likely to either not see you approach, or grossly underestimate your approach speed.

Seeing more of the DCW forcing there way through just to make a point. Third clip being an example.

Easiest and safest thing to do is allow the emerging to pull out but no, must swerve in to another lane and get back to my rightful place in front. tt.

Bizarre isn’t it. We all make mistakes and very few need result in a physical accident but the mighty DCW seems unwilling to give an inch in favour of potentially causing a very disruptive and expensive accident. Being right isn’t worth a damn when your car is in bits.

I love the videos, my particular favourite trait that they all share is hitting a round about at excessive speed and then getting lairy with the other drivers who are using/joining the roundabout.

I love the easily readable/avoidable ones, I chuckle thinking some camera totting motorist is getting irate when many of the 'offenders' have no clue what is going on!

Learn to drive. Overtaking a vehicle when you're immediately taking a slip road is a pointless overtake.

The van was travelling significantly more quickly than the car. Its initial move was halted when they saw the biker, but there was still plenty of time for the overtake, and to pull off at the exit without inconvenience to anyone. On that basis I don't see an issue.

Who took the slip?
The biker looked to have a crazy speed diffeential with other traffic

I've certainly seen a fair few of the clips in that one. In fact I think one of the clips is actually from a PHer. He got criticised by several on here as well (Clip at 3:30)

You're right - nobody did

Some speed by the looks of it, and bikes are small targets, yes think brain dead........

I know this is against the PH and DCW rules, but here is my own st driving. Really close to hitting the Honda, why I didn't just go round again I don't know. I think (happy to be corrected) though we were both in the wrong lane but it was me that did the stupid move.

The Honda was in the correct lane for the M62.

Looks like what I expect most roundabout DCW videos look like from the others' perspective

Looked again, so it was, was looking at the A650 on the road, I cringe watching it back, can't believe I was daft enough to try and still take the exit. I could see I was in the wrong lane but thought the Honda was going to take the exit, luckily I realized at the very last moment. Must have only been inches between us.

Also consider properly securing your load of drainpipes next time.

In a way this is admirable - you made a mistake, we all do, but you've had the stones to upload it and fess up to your error. I know what you mean about cringing after a mistake - horrible feeling!
