The "Sh*t Driving Caught On Cam" Thread (Vol 4)
Discussion
I may be making an appearance soon!
M25 ACW. pootling along at 70 ( sat nav) in L1 There is a RED instructor a good distance ahead in L2 wirh absolutely nothing for half an mile ( may be less) on his inside and him keeping up with the traffic on the two outer lanes
So i just breeze by in L1, catch up with the inside traffic and indicate for L2 to pass them and get back in L1
So If the is a Blue Volvo V70 doing a quick show, May i remind the driver of said RED xxx9 Ujs ( i think) how decent driver use the matorway. Had another in a Range Rover who woke up after i did the same to him and decided to keep level with me..OK by me my freind. i jsut overtook youL1-2-3-2-1 and you were still sitting in in L2 in the far distance in my rear mirror.

Had a close call on the way home from work, and upon watching the footage it was even closer than I thought. Was doing 70 and prepared to move back into lane 1 after the junction, checked my mirror to see only the lorry I'd passed, a car behind me and an empty slip road, signalled then started to move. But in that time a biker had already gone into lane 1 and was undertaking (which given the speed differential, I feel is fair to say). Very hard to see in the footage, but he does then go across to lane 3, back to lane 2 to undertake someone, then into lane 4, so pretty poor riding. But even then, I feel I should definitely have done better and watched the mirror as I was changing lanes.

Close but not unheard of. I'm sure that many bike riders have no grasp of fear or reality in these circumstances until they are involved in an accident; at which point they move to a car as a form of transport.https://youtu.be/eoFxQXq0WTU
What bugs me here is that they are automatically given the benefit of doubt due to being 'vulnerable' .. well if they are that vulnerable then maybe exercise a soupçon of self preservation and stop riding like bellends overtaking cars on both sides when the mood takes them.
I think also that the whole filtering thing needs to be controlled a bit more - having multiple bikes of al kinds passing (or trying to) on both sides of a car is quite scary and bloody dangerous in some cases.

I believe filtering should only be between the outer 2 lanes of a road and not with such a great speed differential. Trying to get people to stick to it however is never easy!

RE the Police Golf chase. I wondered, aren't we now at a point with tech that traffic lights could feature something to sense flashing blue lights, and accordingly change red lights to green, and vice versa on the opposite ones? Massive penalties would have to be in place for misuse by the public of course.
They have that here. Works really well.Monkeylegend said:
He undertook a driving instructor....................................I think.
Wrong . I passed him on the inside Never moved into L1 from L2 to do it as i i had been in L! for at least 3mins catching the moving block of L2/3/4 numpties up. IF i had been in L2 i would have 'requested' him to get into L1 ( L3/4 full of the driver who think that being there is going faster) so i could make progress at the posted limit.

Another cyclist bellend demonstrating why we need some sort of bike registration scheme do we can identity the tossers
How might the cyclist have been identified in that circumstance, I wonder?blueg33 said:

"Some sort" is a utopian ideal. I live in Cambridge, and I cannot see any way in which a registration scheme would work. Very many students, very many language students, very many workers from overseas who may or may not be transient, many fixed term contractors....Edited by Europa1 on Sunday 15th September 20:31
