One of the sttiest collections yet. Not one of those deserved a clip, and the majority were caused or exaggerated by the dcw...

I think we've passed peak dashcam...

Agree - so many are the DCW either unable to read traffic, or just engineering the near miss. Utter bellwipes.

It was obvious the blue Toyota thingy at 1.12 was going to cut the corner and move lanes.

Some sympathy with the one at 4:30 and the island where you have no chance of getting going

7.30, not bothered by 30 limits then?

Perhaps the cam car was unmarked police and the car that pulled out was exactly the one they were looking for, which is why they followed it.

Looks like the 30 sign here - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.2855209,-2.27343...
and the junction here - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.2855057,-2.27511...

A distance of 118m. For the benefit of the doubt, he takes 5 seconds to travel this distance. This gives a speed of 23.6 m/s, 53 mph.

Fairly obvious it was coming, but if you had a snotter you gave 0 care to would you always get out the way of that moron? Can't help feeling that's a valuable lesson learnt.

I have to agree. Also why is it always tiny cars that cut corners? He should have seen it coming and it was easily avoidable, but it was fairly satisfying to see.

Correct

Has been a fair amount of accidents at that junction and the 'T' junction just ahead of where both cars stop over the years

As it was so obvious and theres a duty to avoid a collision in the HC that makes it the cam cars 100% fault
Surely there's a bit more respect for people making mistakes in PH?
Otherwise we're all going to end up running snotters

Plausible deniability.

Blyat is the Russian equivalent of our "fk!" when used as an expletive.

You can translate 'pizdez' (пиздез) yourself, it too upsets the swear filter.

That is immense! I might start using these insults myself. 'I'll do a rough opening of your faceplate now!, You are not a good person in the form of a condemned condom.'

I'd have no issues putting the blame 50/50 in that incident.

You've no issue with being completely wrong then?

It's no wonder driving is so poor in the UK if this is the level of understanding of a simple clear cut incident.

This. How anyone can see it otherwise is beyond me.

My point is, that if drivers don't allow for errors of judgement in others then they're going to find themselves in more accidents than drivers that do. Yes, the DCW should have been paying attention, should have been driving slower, etc etc but if the lead car hadn't driven in an unexpected manner and had checked their mirrors before and during their manoeuvre then the accident likely wouldn't have happened. Ergo both parties are to blame for that since either driver could've avoided it occurring through their own actions.

Too many drivers can't see beyond "I'm in the right" and fail to account for their own part in events; they mistake being technically correct for good driving. Accident numbers would reduce significantly if people took a slightly more defensive attitude and accounted for the fact that people do make mistakes, lose concentration, misjudge appropriate speeds, etc.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. We all make mistakes when driving. Usually those mistakes have no consequences, but sometimes it's only through the actions of other drivers around us that there aren't any. Be proactive in avoiding mistakes from others rather than just waiting for something to happen and then put your hands up and claim that there was nothing that you could have done.

Would you sit in the blind spot of another car on the motorway and claim to be the innocent party when the other driver drifts into you? Would you enter a roundabout at an unusually high speed and then shout "idiot" at drivers who misjudge your speed? Would you give only a glance to the left when turning left from a junction and then wonder why the driver that hit you was overtaking at that point? Or would you mitigate against those circumstances by making slight changes to your own driving?

Going back to the video clip: the driver in front showed a distinct lack of situational awareness; there was no forward planning to their driving; they failed to check their mirrors before, during or after stopping; they invented their own system of priorities by giving way to drivers entering from a side road. Is there anything at all that they could have done differently that would have proactively avoided the accident happening or were they completely innocent bystanders in the wrong place at the wrong time?
