A weak set of clips this week. I'm sure a few of them are also very old. Solocle said:
Overtaking past a junction is foolish. Overtaking in an unexpected manner, with a vehicle that is behaving in an unexpected manner, is utterly moronic.
As a police officer may have once said to someone I may have been on a course with many years ago 'I have seen Hedgehogs with more road sense than you.' Driver101 said:

My bike teacher used to make the point that the wheels give gyroscopic stability, and as soon as you lock the front one you will be going down.
Your bike teacher was wrong. The gyroscopic effect of the wheel accounts for very little. Your front tyre gives you directional grip. Steering into a 'fall' pushes you back upright due to the centrifugal force. You lock the front wheel you completely lost the ability to steer into the fall and you go down.Uncle Meat said:

Lol at the last clip. I always play 'spot the hazard' on these things but I didn't see that coming, should have expected an Aussie hazard!Haltamer said:
Robert U sums up a lot of the frustrations I feel about people. Make a choice, and tell me what you're doing by using the indicators. Don't just listlessly wander between the lanes!blueacid said:

1:29 was interesting, the blue car (Peugeot?) was riding his brakes for over 5 seconds, as the brake light was on and car was moving. So the car behind, distracted by mobile phone or whatever, didn't register the stop. Idiot driver but perhaps the victim could have helped the situation.
I assumed they were looking in their mirrors to try to change lanes, they started indicating right near the end.drjdog said:

Think it was the hazards automatically coming on as the driver brakes hard.I’m confused by the comment above about the Peugeot brake lights, he started braking to stop due to queuing traffic. So brake lights came on as the driver was braking. Don’t think Peugeot could’ve done anything else.

why did this BMW ride a red light?
Why did the BMW do what?Watch the clip
Is why, even in a faster car, I avoid upsetting German car drivers, because a good percentage of them behave like 2 year olds once their ego takes a hit.
