The "S**t Driving Caught On Cam" Thread (Vol 6)

[scottyp123]

Not got a clue what the argument was about but this is for all the motorcyclists that smack a door mirror off and then cut and run.

I bet he'll think twice before doing that again.

More moneys worth of damage to his car than to the bike, so he probably will think twice.

Blue Fiesta gets clipped by white car turning right. The URL should start at 10:00 mins in

Ouch!!

Yikes!

Three morons in that clip.

Firstly the blue Fiesta for inappropriate speed.

Secondly the white Mondeo for failing to look properly.

Thirdly, the white Audi(?) driver right at the end who pulls up beside the Mondeo. They get out without applying the handbrake or putting it in park, then fail to stop it rolling into the wall

Its not everyday you see a toilet seat flying down the Mway @1.15
Some proper crashes there, not the near-miss horn bibbing we get nowadays

Almost looks as though the car in front of the caravan driver was crash for cash type person nothing in front so why slam on the brakes?

Oh I dunno. He probably had at least a minute of feeling good before the dawning of regret (and prospect of significant expense).

9:36 That had to be fatal, surely

Depends where the fire spread to - looks like the truck impressively avoided a complete head-on, so if it was a driver on their own in the car they'd very likely have survived the initial crash.

That and the night-time motorway one were both worrying in how easily/quickly the fire erupted though...

The 9.36 one, is the fire from the car ripping through the artics fuel tank ? Maybe they carried on further and not affected by the fire.

The Mway one pretty terrifying too, though msg afterwards implying driver recovering was some assurance.

I was wondering about that...surprised diesel fuel (vapours?) ignited that easily and that much.

Yeah I'm not convinced he avoided the car; not head on but a solid glancing blow.... in a mk3 Fiesta, which would fold up around/on you, game over. Wouldn't be surprised if it was petrol shooting out the car, as I also wouldn't have thought diesel would ignite that easily - you can put a match out dropping one in it!

How the hell can you tell what car that was?

I think the car hit the fuel tank?

Looks like pickup-man managed to take out his own radiator, from the water on the ground.

I don't think I've ever seen a biker deliberately smash a mirror in real life (I once grazed one when filtering but no damage, just an apology to the driver who was cool about it) but when I see vids of someone doing that then riding off it really annoys me. It's usually due to some minor incident anyway, and you're turning someone who is a bit of a crap driver into someone who wants to actively make life difficult for every other biker. Yeah well done, you've screwed over every other biker by showing off like that.

So, I lol'd at the initial knock. But I think taking multiple run-ups was going a bit far and driving at the chap himself was far beyond the pale.

Remember this one?

5:10 - I drove this last night, god knows why anyone would think it'd be a good idea to try and go side by side on this roundabout, its very narrow and easy to see how narrow it is before entering. Entirely avoidable if the DCW had been sensible.

Isn't any kind of fine for the cause, not the effect? £267 for an unsecure load, ban for tipping your lorry over on a roundabout.

Although if the unsecure load had killed someone it might have been different.
