This guy can't be for real?!? All I see is bad driving from the DCW. Lane 2 overtaking something miles away, switching lanes at random on the roundabout and beeping at nothing?? I read some of his responses to comments though and he seems to think he's doing nothing wrong?!??

Quite, and we have to share the roads with him and people like him who have no awareness of themselves...

5:22 - the camera car themselves (and the white van two ahead) are the ones in the wrong surely?
The 'featured' car (Black toyota) didn't do anything wrong and was adhering to the line markings...

Other than not giving way to traffic on a roundabout wink

confused

The road markings for both lanes say A4232 which is where both of the exit lanes go. How you've both come to conclusion that the van and the cam car were in the wrong, I have no idea.

Looks like good use of the available road space to me smile. If the other 90% of the drivers moved over when they've clearly no intention of actually making any progress and just want to sit alongside stuff doing the same speed, then he wouldn't need to get creative with his lane use. You see those lemming trains in lane 3 on pretty much every motorway these days with no-one making any progress.

It's a head band camera I think. Can see it moving as he turns his head to look in his mirrors.

I'm sure someone will be quick to point out he doesn't appear to be wearing a seat belt from the dash warning light. No idea what the yellow one is.

I expect there'll be outrage to come later today for his temerity for not forming an orderly queue in the outside lane in true British style hehe .

There were a few dhead manouvres, but much of it is passing on the left because idiots won't use lanes correctly. A406, pretty standard stuff really.

I've just realised those roads are local to me, and therefore I have a reasonable chance of running into this clown.... I really hope I do, I'll happily post make/model (and DC footage*) for all to be aware of if it happens laugh

  • Yes, I have a dashcam, and it feels like I'm in the vast minority in that I don't go hunting for near misses or pretend incidents. Am I doing it wrong??

There was no 'way to give' in this instance. The 'way' for the Toyota was clear (LH lane of the roundabout)
Both the van and the car were in the right hand lane which is the positioning to continue round the roundabout (and not to be taking the exit they did - they crossed the white line).



The van and camera car were in the [b]wrong[b] lane of the roundabout prior to the Toyota entering the roundabout, and if they'd both stayed in their lane there would have been no incident.

The van and camera car were in the correct lane to take that exit. It's clearly marked that both lanes can be used to take the A4232 into Cardiff. The Toyota had just come off the M4, j33, eastbound, and should have given way to the traffic already on the roundabout.
