9/10. It's just lacking a taser to the face for the perfect score.Laurel Green said:

Excellent I had an idiot in one of the huge recovery trucks try this with me but I just drove around him due to no barriers. He then decided he had to show me how loud his ridiculous chrome horns were, pillock.

Cue the side of a Brian James bouncing up the side of her "Brabus" E-class estate.

In the second clip, what did DCW really think was going to happen ? a bus stop is not a extra lane, in any case with a car slowing in front of him he knew the car was likely to be turning. Granted the mini could have indicated earlier. Looked to me like DCW was late braking and trying to get ahead of the mini rather than being unaware where it was going.Seems most of the clips are down to impatience - passing slow moving traffic, pulling on to roundabouts when not clear, being in the wrong lane for exits etc is all about "must get 2 cars in front" mentality. In reality I doubt if it makes any difference to journey time - a minute or two at the most.

Mike R (DCW) is at fault here. Using the bus stop to drive at / into a vehicle taking the exit at the correct position (see road markings) is a stupid move.
And had the DCW set his DC a minute in advance (perhaps in anticipation) of this manoeuvre? (Cf timings at bottom and top of screen image respectively).

Never certain with these 'camers' whether they completely lack situational awareness, or they are just going for the YT clip.
7.00. I had really similar recently, except the right lane I was in was straight on and right. A Halfords van tore up the inside of me, only avoiding a collision as I slammed on the brakes. He got a blast of the horn, I got flicked a middle finger. Down the road, presumably remembering he was in his employees van, he stuck his head out the window protesting I was in a right only lane, it wasn't, as he well knew. Halfords got the dashcam clip, little tt.

Watched up to the TNT lorry, can't watch any more, just all so very predictable.
Shame there is no earlier footage, did he get caught out by a road layout ? or was he being a tt by trying to get as far as he could and then push in ? Either way DCW could have let him in, lorry driver shouldn't have squeezed, let DCW go and wait for someone to let him in.
Whilst I don't think the DCWs are all out to try and create footage it is worrying the number of them that drive around seemingly oblivious to other road users and what daft things they might or might not do.
Another phenomenon I've noticed that has popped up in the last few years is people driving up slip roads and then stopping dead when they can't join the motorway due to traffic. WTF is that all about ?
At one junction on my commute the motorway is raised and in clear sight, so you can see traffic moving slowly or stopped. Slip road has two lanes, again, you can clearly see the traffic. Cars drive up the outside lane, passing cars on the inside. They get to the point where the chevrons stop and stick their right indicator on and stop dead, someone lets them in. Someones there can be two or three queued waiting to join, sometimes they'll drive right across the chevrons to join.
Meantime the slip road merges in to one and creates a single lane for over 1/4 mile to the next junction, stacks of space and time to sync your speed and safely join.
I just don't get what the rush is to join a queue of traffic.
I have also seen a vehicle on a motorway cross chevrons and both lanes of an on slip, on to the hard shoulder to drive around cars and then rejoin. He probably got a whole four cars in front. I just don't get it.
