The "Sh*t Driving Caught On Cam" Thread (Vol 4)

[Krikkit]

Not sure why this is such a crucifixion, the blue car is clearly driving like a knob, cutting across the lane, trying to go round the outside, I'd have been tempted to do the same as the cam car and just get on with it.

If you look you can see the car cut across the lane, there are merge turn arrows further. The blue car basically didn't see me, I didn't expect them to cut straight across, it is 2 lanes for about 20 metres.

They were ahead of you. Why didn't you simply ease off and let them go first? Interesting there is no sound, how long were you on your horn?

Strange that you've clipped the incident so close to the near miss.

It was pretty clear what was happening from the start of the video. Rather than avoiding an incident you've pushed through increasing the risk of a crash.

I wonder if a few seconds previous tells even more of a story?

Yes but even though they cut across you was speeding up to undertake them so would have hung them out to dry anyway. Its suicide going up the incident when drivers are pulling that manoeuvre.

Apologies didn't know it was actually you driving thought it was a generic dcw but that's a poor show mate.

The incident was, at best, very poor anticipation on your part. And at worst, a deliberate block because you knew what was going to happen and wanted to teach them a lesson.

I've got a great driving tip ; if someone drives like a bit of a nob, don't drive like a bigger nob in retaliation.

The blue car is ahead already.

Literally every single dcw compliation has that event in it but instead of what the blue car did they actually cut the whole corner and dcw either crashes or hits the kurb.

Me personally (in b4 driving god) will never go up the inside in the goose's situation as I won't take the risk of them cutting straight across my bow.

Secondly if you do get infront you then have the behind you driving an inch from your bumper as in this case. Then he ended up stopping at the lights anyway and run the risk of confrontation or damage (inb4 pussy) but the way this country is some people will not think twice about fking you up for the most minor indiscretion I just haven't got the time for it.

@ the replies since you posted this . I can see now why you didn't want to post it for fear of being "vilified" . Presumably they were in the outside lane having come from one of the other ends of the A516 on the rbt and you decided to boot it up their inside for reasons yet to be established ? ? ?

Had a minor road rage incident, a car seemed to think merging into my lane when I'm there already there is my fault. Much fashing, horns filming with mobile over something pretty trivial, I guess I was in the wrong.

The video tells a different story.

Aren't you also a copper, so should be setting an example of good driving standards?

You can clearly see she indicates then moves straight away. I did nothing wrong, yes they were ahead but like I said the merge point is not where they want to merge. I didn't beep etc they got angry because I was there when I shouldn't have been. In real life this stuff happens, I wasn't really watching them. It is a funny roundabout o usually go in lane 2 as always check before merging. It is always mirror then signal. There driving was poor, I just should have stayed a bit back, that is all I am guilty of.

[numtumfutunch]

I wouldn't overtake on a roundabout or its exit let alone pull an undertake with even less chance of the other driver seeing me

But respect for posting the video

There we are then, and I’d agree with that, not everyone will wait until the merge point and if another car is ahead approaching it I’d generally give them room and let them stay ahead. Asking for trouble going up the inside there.

But much respect for posting it up and then admitting the mistake. We are all still leaning eh.

I cut off the start but they started over the white line and towards the middle so expected them to go at next turning after the one. They were driving very quickly so should have stayed back really in hindsight. I don't usually post much up.

You're thinking in terms of "rules" and who's right/wrong.

Think in terms of avoiding such situations, irrespective of who caused them in the first place.

You admit they were "driving very quickly" and clearly faster than you seeing as they were ahead of you, yet you then decided to start a race with them, nearly collide in the process and then get all butt-hurt when they retaliate to your nobbery . If you truly believe you've "done nothing wrong" as you keep protesting in every post, then perhaps you should stop driving for a while and take some refresher lessons. The only mistake the other driver made was slightly traversing the lane divider on the exit, which wouldn't have caused you or anyone else any issue whatsoever if you hadn't decided to start some dumb race with them.

Yep, the blue car was technically over your lane and had to merge into yours but it was ahead and was moving over and the lanes merged very soon after. Plus those types of drivers don't expect someone to barge through on their inside - of course they should but if you take that attitude.... All you need is for them to fail to see you and you've had a crash that, again, technically was their fault but was really just as much yours.

no footage but makes me think about the dangers of driving something like a Zenos in a world of SUV's etc

Ok, didn't happen as I'd imagined, so i'll hold my hands up there....... But I wouldn't have tried to undertake that car, first because i'd know there's a merge point ahead, and secondly because i'd be expecting them to do something stupid like cutting lanes as they exit.

As the video is cut tight, I'm sort of assuming they did something stupid (or multiple things) before hand too, which may have aggravated things.

Looking at the speed, probably coming onto the roundabout much quicker than the blue car hence the try for the undertake.
