If I remember rightly the motorway was shut with the signs saying lanes 2/3/4 closed hence the que, but then the motorway reopened so people like the camera car using all lanes but the road captain morons haven’t reached the next gantry saying it’s back open so assume it’s still closed.

When they passed the first gantry, they were all showing 40, so don't understand your comment, did I miss something? Or are you saying they changed after Mr Police the motorways chap passed them, which may have been showing shut? Guess thats it?

a) they dont have eyes in the back of their heads so they dont know the gantry behind them says all 4 lanes open
b) they dont trust one gantry if all the ones previous have been saying lane closed, until theyve seen a few ( the matrix board dould be used usefully)
c) theyre all trying to exit at the next junction for some event or other

Exactly that, m62 was closed bringing people off at that junction so people queuing to come off. Motorway then reopens but the people already queuing ahead of the gantry don’t know it’s reopened.
Blocking the lanes is still the work of morons though.

I've gone down a weird YouTube rabbit hole of crappy bad driving videos, and I've found Sweden's answer for Stephen Bagwell. I can't understand what he's saying, but there's a lot of shouting, unnecessary beeping, headlight flashing and lane hogging, it must be his Swedish cousin. There's even a bonus shot of the cammer at about the 1 minute mark, kinda how you'd expect him to look...

I probably wouldn't bother watching it, it's not great, but for some overreactions, in a language you can't (or can) understand, give it a go. About 5:40 is when he goes full Bagwell, with the white Volvo overtaking I wonder if the words after "idiot" translate to "you're getting a visit"?

Other than those 'brave' chaps who deliberately goad the police while racing through the streets at 2:00am I fancifully imagined the Swedes to be a nation of clinically competent drivers who follow the rules at all times. Didn't watch it all but with the volume off there was hardly an incident worth raising an eyebrow over. Strangely relaxing... compared to here.

Why do people feel the need to post footage of themselves driving like tts?

The clip of Simone speeding through a town and the plonker doing the overtake and losing control after pulling back in.

I'd include the guy who crashed / nearly crashed after losing visibility in rain, then stopping where the next person without visibility would clout them...

They clearly don’t understand aquaplaning. I think there was a guy on here who stacked his Boxster into the central reservation, why they don’t just slow down is beyond me. Hopefully lesson learnt… (with no fatalities!)

Wizards of OZ indeed. Quite how they manage to maintain such an 'exemplary' standard of driving week after week beggars belief.

The last clip, it was satisfying to see a blatant red light jumper not getting away with it, thankfully without serious injury though.
I bet she still argued that her light was green.

IIRC he actually aquaplaned not one but two Boxsters in similar circumstances….

I never understand why people speed in the rain, it seems driving to the conditions is some sort of secret.
He was going 75 on the dashcam, which would probably be 80 on his speedo, which is just stupid in that weather. It really does annoy me people not driving to conditions, a pet hate of mine.

I nearly aquaplaned (felt it going but regained control, it was luck not skill) at 60 on a motorway, even at that speed everyone was passing me.

Dodgy Drivers. Not very much except several minutes of "Vito" weaving through traffic to chase down some guy in a Vectra who cut him up.

Presumably the reason his car conked out was because he forced water into the air intake... The fact that no-one else stacked into him whilst he was merrily parked up there would indicate that he was indeed the stupidest driver around there at that time, as everyone else managed to avoid it/him.

I've always thought the French system of different speed limits, weather-depending, is pretty decent even if common sense would make it redundant. The only problem I think we'd have with it in the UK is that we struggle with the notion of rain as a binary condition - is it raining, or is it actually light drizzle? In East Anglia the traditional dialect even has a word for "there's a sort of dampness in the air that will wet you through, but it's not quite raining"... That word is "bange", should anyone feel a pressing need to describe such a weather condition in future.

That wasn't the case unfortunately; 'Roid Boy was the one talking aggressively to the dashcammer he pulled out in front of.

And the German system as well - now we have smart motorways we should have the same. Minimum 90mph limit on all motorways then flip the limit for rain back to 70.

Minimum 90 limit sounds great

The Bentley driver got the exact reaction he was after pulling out in front of the dash cammer which then gave him the opportunity to vent some aggression!
