South Wimbledon - calmest reaction from a dashcam driver I've ever seen - other driver is, for want of a better word, an absolute 'case.
it's an old video, been posted a few times before.However, it's a great example of why you should have a dashcam. Something as black and white as the other car blowing through a give way, yet the gobby entitled princess is instantly out the car ranting and raving.
Also the road she was driving into was a dead end so it would be more than likely that's where she lives. The poor dashcammer is probably just about to get surrounded by all her family.

25 seconds in, save yourself a bit of time if the embedded link doesn't behave!:
That was an impressive spin, seemed a bit odd for a low speed crash. I guess the driver hit the accelerator in a panic?25 seconds in, save yourself a bit of time if the embedded link doesn't behave!:
I’d like to see that mental girls face when she realises she’s at fault. Probably wouldn’t change her tune, she doesn’t appear the type to admit she’s wrong.
But yes, he definitely hits the accelerator in shock (absolutely fair) as the rate it slews around into that Vauxhall can't be a product of the momentum it had.
And yes I'd love to see the next 20 minutes or so to see if she actually admitted how much of a knob she was. Obviously a bad stress reaction to be angry at someone like that, presumably a deep-seated victim complex coming out.

I have seen that before but only up to the impact with the Zafira.
I wouldn't say the cammer is entirely blameless, maybe 90%/10%, but that kind of collision does make me think I need to get a cam again myself.
Absolutely crazy reaction, and I wouldn't be surprised if all of the witnesses took the woman's side at first.
Go on then. Where is the 10% the cammer is to blame?I wouldn't say the cammer is entirely blameless, maybe 90%/10%, but that kind of collision does make me think I need to get a cam again myself.

You're never going to change someone's ways, and in the worst case you could get hurt yourself, you only have to stand your ground with the wrong person.
For the one-way street example, I'm not saying you shouldn't point out that it's one-way, many people simply don't realise, but what I am saying is if you do point it out and they choose to ignore it, you're not helping anyone by playing the road warrior. They don't give a toss what you think.
I guess you've never dealt with a bully at school or in later life by punching their lights out and seeing, in most cases, a sharp change in their behaviour? not saying violence should be appropriate here but as a rule, i refuse to let bullys, be it face to face or in a car get away with thier behaviour. Letting them get away with it, because its easier, improves flow etc just reinforces their attitudes. They do it because people will allow themselves to be intimidated for an easier life or "because lifes too short" etc. For the one-way street example, I'm not saying you shouldn't point out that it's one-way, many people simply don't realise, but what I am saying is if you do point it out and they choose to ignore it, you're not helping anyone by playing the road warrior.

Question for Psycho Warren - if your journey to the hospital with your heavily bleeding passenger had involved a gridlocked motorway, would you have applauded a twunt blocking the hard shoulder?

I'm less than 10 stone, I couldn't intimidate anyone if I tried. Not that that has anything to do with it.

Popcorn anyone?
Is taking extra care at a straight crossroads (regardless of priority) not sensible driving, then? If it was a cyclist it could have been very different.
10% meaning slightly slower and better observation could have avoided the collision.
I'm not saying that it wouldn't have happened to me, or that I'm perfect, but I think 10% is fair.
And I'm the heretic...

ts who don't see you indicate to reverse park so brake up your chuff when you stop just past the space. I will NEVER lose the space for these people. If 20 cars had to back up so ttface could reverse, then so be it. I haven't been Kenny Noye'd yet.OllieJolly said:

Dashcam car was 7mph under the posted limit and is more than slightly slower than the posted speed limit on that road.
How can you tell that their observation was insufficient ?
Please explain what they were doing wrong according to the rules of our highway that makes you think they are 10% blame ?
A Winner Is You said:
In my experience once an HGV put their indicator on they're moving out, and it's your job to change lanes or slow down to accommodate them.
In practice that is what happens although it goes against pretty much every rule in the book for changing lanes. Taylor James said:

I was thinking the same. Unless he is implying you should always massively slow down before every side road just in case. However that is not practical nor reasonable. OllieJolly said:

Not that that has anything to do with it.
And I guess thats the difference in attitudes between you and I then. I imagine if you got bullied by someone stronger youd just take it rather than stand up for yourself? Your choice I guess but having been bullied and stopped it by fighting back I will never back down against a bully unless they are obviously heavily armed or built like arnie. Not that that has anything to do with it.

I've got a lot of sympathy with this view. Yes, there where will be situations where it's unwise and in most cases some kind of risk, but if we all adopted a turn the other cheek approach I think we would encourage these people. You have to pick your battles and decide when to act - a general approach of confronting every miscreant isn't conducive to a relaxed frame of mind. My own little favourite? Dozy tailgating tts who don't see you indicate to reverse park so brake up your chuff when you stop just past the space. I will NEVER lose the space for these people. If 20 cars had to back up so ttface could reverse, then so be it. I haven't been Kenny Noye'd yet.
lol I wont back down when they are obviously deliberately being bell ends. if its some dozy cow in a fiat 500 looking at me with a confused dazed look I would probably let it fly, but most other cases its obvious from thier aggressive road position, facial expressions, gesticulation etc that they knew EXACTLY what they were doing and EXPECTED with their entitled attitude to get away with it. Well not with me sunshine......ts who don't see you indicate to reverse park so brake up your chuff when you stop just past the space. I will NEVER lose the space for these people. If 20 cars had to back up so ttface could reverse, then so be it. I haven't been Kenny Noye'd yet.I once sat there for almost 5 minutes reading a car magazine when some private hire driver tried to dodge a que going wrong way down a one way.
And as you say, the reality is 99.9999% of the time you will come to no harm. I would say in the last 10 years or so where i've been deliberate assholes to people also being assholes, only a handful have properly road raged and got out the car and they all fled back to their vehicle when i got out too. When they are outside thier "metal cage" they suddenly loose their balls again.

Ah, apologies, I didn't realise BMW i3s have a minimum speed of 20 mph.In that case, I can apportion at least 5% of the blame to BMW...
