Many of these seem to be on roundabouts, where I was taught never to go alongside another vehicle. Same for slip roads, don't assume the other driver has seen you.
Overtaking on a roundabout is just asking for trouble, with or without a camera.
Agree with this. It was reinforced on my bike training as well - in fact, there's a whole load of defensive stuff in there that many of these DCWs could benefit from. Never assume anyone has seen you, or even if they have, that they will then do the 'correct' thing.Overtaking on a roundabout is just asking for trouble, with or without a camera.
Based on my experience, I reckon sitting on, or driving around the inside of someone on a roundabout gives you about a 50/50 chance of having to then take action to avoid a collision. An alarming number of people going straight across a roundabout from the left hand lane will 'straight-line' the roundabout without even checking the mirrors. If you're on their inside, you're toast. Best to just hang back and give people space.
Looking at these videos, a lot of these DCWs seem to choose to have a crash, and be 'in the right', rather than easing back and avoiding the incident in the first place.

It's not just their lousy driving- so many of them get so angry that it must affect their driving after the incident. Like those bikers with helmet cams, whose film shows how, after a near miss, they stop looking where they are going altogether, in order to look round and make threatening gestures at the now irrelevant (from a safety point of view)offender.
Not forgetting the mandatory over the top head shake. Krikkit said:

2.06. Plenty of time to brake when he lorry pulled out and it still ended up with a near miss. Krikkit said:

Driving is a competitive sport for huge numbers of drivers, even those with no real interest in driving per se. Hence you see just about every type of driver in every form of transport involved in trying to get one car or two cars in front.
I drive for a living and see this every day , usually at a merge point, M5 TO M6J1 SB is a good one, it clearly says stay in lane , merge in turn yet the morons form a mile long queue in the RH lane leaving the LH lane empty so I drive right up to the front and merge as indicated by the many signs but they bunch up and call you a w

I am starting to think this way as well, although perhaps a nice wafty barge rather than a 1.0! One of my colleagues has just bought a diesel S90. It's not fast, but feels just like being wafted around in your favourite armchair, with a rather lovely 19 speaker Bowers & Wilkins hi-fi to keep you entertained. It covers ground smoothly and effortlessly and with minimal stress or effort. You're never going to feel any urge to smoke away from traffic lights or sling it around the lanes, so it changes your whole approach to driving. kers putting you on youtube for a fast but perfectly safe overtake and we all might as well all drive 1.0 cars It's not really about fun any more, particularly in the SE. I would add to your very valid list, the appalling (and still deteriorating) condition of the roads. There are at least two within a mile radius of my house that you cannot drive along in the correct position at anything close to the speed limit without risking a bent wheel rim or suspension damage. Sunken manhole covers everywhere, and the usual patchwork of botched repairs that are sinking and breaking up. Another road has been "resurfaced" recently by throwing chippings down, but bizarrely they've left the last 200 yds of it alone, which was just as bad as the rest of it, but the powers that be have decided for whatever reason that it's fine as it is. So you get to be pebbledashed by chippings from oncoming cars for 3/4 mile or so, and then crash and bump over the last few hundred yards.
Moan over!

In her defence she only started lying on the floor after having her face smashed into the seat in front of her as a result of the tram's sudden halt. She may also be drunk, but hard to tell.
Maybe I missed something but she was on the floor before the crash.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
