I watched the latest UK Dash Cams vid the other night. No idea why I bother as it just proves how many utter morons there are on the roads and most of them have dash cams and send in their footage to show other road users who are in the wrong when in actual fact, its the twit with the dash cam speeding up towards a car pulling out and going from zero to level 11 mental in the space of a second.

Not all people who have dashcams go hunting for footage to upload to YouTube. In fact, I’d hazard a guess that only a small fraction of those that own them do this. In addition, there are plenty of morons who don’t have dashcams. I’d even say there are more morons without dashcams than with.TL;DR the roads are full of morons. Some have dashcams. Some of them upload footage.
The criteria to make it in to a dashcam compilation these days is extremely low.
I had someone cut me up on a roundabout the other night, one I drive on every day and which people have a habit of straight lining it due to the road layout. I gave them a quick blast of my horn and went on my merry way. To my surprise, at the next set of lights I noticed someone had pulled up next to me waving trying to get my attention. I wound down my window and they asked was I okay and told me they had caught it all on their dashcam and would I like a copy. I politely declined and said don't worry there wasn't any contact it happens all the time....''I realise that but don't you want it for your records anyway'' was the response.
I spent the last few minutes of my journey thinking how many clips of complete non events I would have collected if I thought the same way they did

In days gone by you'd wait for an actual, well, incident to happen, stop, and offer your phone number to the (for example) bloke lying on the tarmac. Halcyon days indeed

That is utterly appalling. Not surprised the driver got jail time for that.eldar said:

There are two main causes of aforementioned "standstill", the first is BMWs ploughing through and sucking in water via the air intake mount below the bumper line, the second is folks in shiny new Chelsea tractors, who drive too slowly, stopping half way through to show off, take a selfie etc, and cause the poor sod behind to get water up into the exhaust and stall their car.
What stops the water getting into the exhaust when you are slowly moving forward with the engine running, compared to stopped with the engine running?LimSlip said:

I guess the water can flow up the pipe more easily if its stationary but not when the pipe is moving forward as it'd have to have the momentum to flow up a pipe moving away from it, so to speak, as well as overpower the gases coming out, which would build in pressure too, the more the water restricted it.UK Dash Cams - Poor Drivers, Road Rage + Crash Compilation #157
