You're doing it wrong rolleyes .

You need to :

1. Drive over the centre of, or the wrong side of painted roundabouts, especially if you see other cars coming towards you and you'll be turning right then hold down your horn and fumble about trying to press the 'save clip' button on your dashcam.
2. Accelerate onto roundabouts like an F1 driver, especially if you see buses/artics waiting to emerge from the next road, then hold down your horn and fumble about trying to press the 'save clip' button on your dashcam.
3. Find roads where there are long lines of parked vehicles on the other side, wait until there is oncoming vehicle, then drive straight at them instead of waiting at a convenient gap, mouth "MY RIGHT OF WAY, GO BACK, GO BACK, YOU'RE ON CAMERA MATE!" then hold down your horn and fumble about trying to press the 'save clip' button on your dashcam.
4. Ensure you position yourself in the blind spot of any vehicle joining from a slip road so that you can get some footage of them driving into the side of you, then hold down your horn and fumble about trying to press the 'save clip' button on your dashcam.
You are quite right, following your advice, I’ve now got 34 clips to upload, and a very sore throat.
Here's a couple of examples from the infamous Stephen Bagwell on how to do it properly...

Bonus points if you upload lots of footage of your own bad driving that causes other motorists to react the way they do.

Don't forget doing a u-turn on a mini roundabout and being surprised when someone pull out into your path.

He must be trolling the viewer with all the hysterics? If he's not, his blood pressure must be off the scale!

You and me both. Scary thing is that on the odd occasion I've been within a few minutes of him on some of his recent 'issues' that've been uploaded.

I believe he used to drive a Corsa, going off some of his older videos. No idea if he still does though. I'm sure you'd be left in no doubt it was him though if you had the misfortune of passing him.

I got one a year or so ago. Nothing even slightly exciting has happened. I’m disappoint.
You're doing it wrong rolleyes .

You need to :

1. Drive over the centre of, or the wrong side of painted roundabouts, especially if you see other cars coming towards you and you'll be turning right then hold down your horn and fumble about trying to press the 'save clip' button on your dashcam.
2. Accelerate onto roundabouts like an F1 driver, especially if you see buses/artics waiting to emerge from the next road, then hold down your horn and fumble about trying to press the 'save clip' button on your dashcam.
3. Find roads where there are long lines of parked vehicles on the other side, wait until there is oncoming vehicle, then drive straight at them instead of waiting at a convenient gap, mouth "MY RIGHT OF WAY, GO BACK, GO BACK, YOU'RE ON CAMERA MATE!" then hold down your horn and fumble about trying to press the 'save clip' button on your dashcam.
4. Ensure you position yourself in the blind spot of any vehicle joining from a slip road so that you can get some footage of them driving into the side of you, then hold down your horn and fumble about trying to press the 'save clip' button on your dashcam.
Also, whilst you're at the fumble about trying to press the 'save clip' stage, make sure you are completely stopped, thus blocking the road for everyone else trying to drive around you and the complete none event/event you created.
Ah that's why after the tiniest of infraction the DCWs seem to sit there for ages rather than driving off... Makes sense now.

I sub to his channel just to see if I end up in any of his videos, I tend to be backwards and forwards on the M66/A56 a couple of times a month.

Here is a video from the same idiot whereby he tries to justify his lane-hogging. When confronted about it in the comments section, he insists that "lane hogging is an urban myth used by drivers who want to SPEED in the right hand lane".

There is some truth in that statement, but maybe it's not worded sensibly.

Some people want to exceed the speed limit, so complain if the driver in front is in the wrong lane.
Some people want to use the wrong lane but drive at the speed limit, and complain it the driver behind wants to speed.

They are both as bad as each other. You can't simply take the Highway Code and selectively ignore some of it, whilst complaining about others who are selectively ignoring a different part of it.

If the lane to the left is empty and the person behind you wants to pass whether he is speeding or not, you are a bellend to block that lane. It is not the job of dcw's or other drivers to police the roads

If someone comes barreling up behind me at 100+ on the motorway, the fact that they're speeding is irrelevant to me. I'll move to the left at the earliest opportunity to let them past and remain there until I want to overtake someone else. Hogging the outside lane and blocking them achieves nothing unless your aim is to act like a complete tit.

It's not my job to police the roads, and anyone who thinks it's theirs is either a police officer or a dhead (not that the two are mutually exclusive).

Doesn’t matter what speed you want to travel at, you keep left unless overtaking, it’s incredibly easy yet so many people can’t get their heads around it.
