Nah, that's a 40
Anyone driving a 44 tonne artic up someone's chuff for obeying the speed limit (especially when they're clearly attempting an overtake within the envelope of legality, but no excuses) is a prize w
ker, and should be charged with dangerous driving. Those things are lethal.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb60THThdQM&fe... seems fairly clear

the guy getting all upset at somebody parking in a car park...
these DCW's are getting beyond a joke.
Can we be more inclusive, please? DCWs and helmet/body-worn camera warriors. Of the latter, I give you Dave the bus driver from Channel 5's recent "Cyclists: Scourge of the Streets?" documentary.these DCW's are getting beyond a joke.
The answer to Channel 5's question is some are, but so are some motorists (of various vehicle types). However, Dave came across as a particularly rare variety of throbber.

Agreed. Had he followed the correct line the car he beeped at would have been well clear. https://youtu.be/h-Y9YO4-xA0?t=518

That first clip 
Wasn't expecting that, guess the driver had a medical issue.
Encountered this I presume stolen BMW at the weekend (police raced by half a minute later), approached the junction then look at me and pulled ou so I had to slam on the brakes and trigger the ABS to avoid then they overtook the traffic in a risky manner.

Car speedos generally over estimate so a car could be doing 45mph for an indicated 50mphkers a weaponThough I see tailgating trucks every day in the roadworks on the M6 , 50 limit, the trucks don't want to do 50 so intimidate people by driving 15ft behind them even when they can see there's hundreds of cars and trucks in front of them so they're going nowhere.
The truck may be trying to drive at 50mph.
Or they may have realised that 55mph is under many enforcement thresholds.
That's a 10mph speed difference for anyone good with sums

However, sabby is right to mention the speedo readings. Trucks have to get the tachometer calibrated every 2 years by law and are surprisingly accurate. There were many times I would pass cars like Citroen’s with a visible digital dash and the speed they had would be 4 or 5 mph out to mine. Of course that doesn’t excuse the truck driver being an idiot for tailgating but sitting and being a self righteous road captain doesn’t help either, deliberately slowing down and baiting should get a ban regardless.

Knowing quite a few of the roads he is often in the wrong lane and does seem to have a habit of accelerating to cause near misses.
Yes completely agree. Like the woman half across the road, why not slow down, keep well back, let her know he is no threat.. instead drives right up to her. The risk is it spooks her and she makes a run across the rest of the road when it may not be safe. It looks like he is trying to get dashcam footage so creates an incident when there should not be one for better drivers.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hRxOvDFwJ9I

Get this a lot now on the new m6 smart motorway j16-19, signs come on at 50 I set cruise to 50 and seem to flying past all the cars sat in lane 3 and 4 whilst I stay in lane 1 all to myself.
Worryingly from the article about Police prosecution from Dashcams .. Let's hope there are no Dash cam warriors on the M6."However, we know from our research that law-abiding drivers are becoming increasingly fed up with the illegal actions of a minority that get away with tailgating, undertaking, and using handheld mobile phones when driving.
