@1.20. How fast do we reckon? SmoothCriminal said:
That first one! 
Quite obvious the cam car goaded the Audi into an overtake by driving very slowly and then speeding up to block it, as speed when video started was just 15 mph, then suddenly starts speeding up to 40 by the time the Audi comes into view, then you can see the flashing of the cam car's headlights reflected off the Audi, and this seems to be what caused the Audi driver to stop, presumably so they could 'have a word' with cam car driver, who then proceeds to crash into him despite having plenty of time to brake, and even having an exit to the right that they could pull into to avoid the stationary Audi 
I do wonder who the insurance companies would decide is at fault there.

Lower than that - 12mph, which makes me think that they've possibly been indulging in a bit of brake-testing of their own. They then went on to pile into the back of the car in front @ 48mph, with no apparent effort to stop.That clip certainly doesn't make them look like the innocent party. Much more of a "when t
ts collide".shtu said:

There is still no excuse for hitting the back of the Merc. He had plenty of time to react and stop. He choose to have that accident.
If he didn't have the dashcam to prove he has right(which he actually isn't) he would have stopped. Another driver having a needless accident or near miss thinking the dashcam would prove they were wronged.

this is the road, no reason to slow down. The brake checked stopped in the middle to stop him getting round, there is clearly more to it.

Yep, hopefully their insurance companies will reject both claims based on his footage.k it', just before steering into the Audi rather than the empty space to the left adds tt points. You can see him get off the brakes as he says "f
k it"... Have we hit peak dashcam wker?SmoothCriminal said:
6.10. The DCW can see for ages there is a car on the wrong side of the road. He doesn't even flinch and ends up having a near miss. He nearly played his part in a very serious incident for no reason. Hopefully the overtaking car didn't hit the other car inside who also looks as if they didn't slow down either.

The worst part is he's sharing that video not realising he's part of the problem. The same for the first clip here too.
I genuinely believe it's time to ban dashcams from the road. They make people do stupid stuff like this.

A few tts on YouTube I'd say. The majority would be like me and just want extra backup if needed should an accident happen.It's not a small problem. It's a serious problem. At the very least making the clips public should be banned even though i do actually enjoy watching them.
