Assuming my screen is right, the van was signalling for quite a while waiting for the white car to clearWouldnt most people in the DCW position allow the van out maybe with a flash of the lights?

It certainly looks like it needs a lot of work. But surely the driver/attendant has to carry responsibility too. I don't think Tesla promote it as something that allows you remove all attention from whats going on.
Maybe but the brand it as auto pilot. The defination as such, ''An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft without constant 'hands-on' control by a human operator being required.''
And system that requires hands on shouldnt be called AP, it should be called driver assit, but that just wouldnt sell.

With driver assistance technology being made compulsory on all cars, we could see a lot more of people trusting their cars to do more on their own to avoid hazards than they can and even more blaming of cars and their automated functions when things go wrong. The EU is only really mandating automated braking, lane keeping and speed limit assist programmes because manufacturers have trumped up their capabilities to make even EU bureaucrats think they can do more than they really can.

I am struggling to see any safety benefit in the camera car getting so close to the white Skoda in front of it. It was to encourage the Skoda driver to move over, something the Skoda driver couldn't reasonably be expected to do if they were aware that the van in lane two was catching up with the vehicle in front of it in lane two?
Perhaps that whole situation could've been avoided and inconvenienced the driver of the camera car less if the driver of the white Skoda had put their foot down so they could have moved over to lane two sooner?
Perhaps the driver of the camera car was late for an important appointment, a flight or a ferry?
It's the Skoda drivers fault.
Dash cam driver had an inkling the van was going to pull in front of him so closed the gap to the Skoda because he didn’t want to let the van in. Van came across anyway doing what many van drivers do.

I’m mostly in agreement except this van driver had an indicator going so was slightly better than the usual affair.

This citroen Van idiot almost too the wife and myself out of it on the M4 yesterday, was lucky I did not smash into the central barrier. I got my car checked over and it looks ok, which is good news for that driver.

It wasn't 'going' really. He indicated and manoeuvred at almost the same time.No idea why the poster is copping so much flak. Yes they closed the gap on the white car as it was traveling slowly, however the van is the vehicle in the wrong not checking mirrors or blind spot.

The MLM shouldn't have been in L2.
The camera car could have displayed better anticipation and allowed space for the van to move to L3.
The van shouldn't have moved to L3 given lack of space to do so safely.
All of the above mean incident. Take away any 1 of the 3 and no incident, seems to me.

You know who I blame in this st van clip? Middle lane camping bds.
Amen. I think Boris should send his 20,000 out in a swarm to target the motorway network for a week. He’d pay for their salaries with the fines they issued if they targeted MLM’s, tailgaters, phone users etc.saaby93 said:

The Citroen van driver isn't a MLM. He/she had someone 2 seconds in front of them, so they had every right to stay on the middle ......... but not to move to L3.The camera car could have displayed better anticipation and allowed space for the van to move to L3.

Your screen is wrong. The van only started signalling when the DCW was starting to come along side him.

It continues to amaze me that people post these dashcam videos in the genuine belief that they've done nothing wrong. Put bluntly, both of you were driving without due care here.

Their miserable, boring, nasal conversation could easily cause an accident too.... Could put an insomniac to sleep. 10 seconds later a 1.0 fiesta comes past fairly slowly
