It often seems to be assumed that 'it's fine, it's their lives' but at those speeds a head on could be fatal for the occupants of the oncoming car. Totally selfish behaviour.
Or indeed other road users not in cars.One from a bicycle ride, and it certainly was nothing like as bad as what was displayed above. If I had to guess panic braking causing a loss of control?
Whereas this... No crash, but no consideration.

Driver got lucky here, if the bollard hit the front not the back of the car(if this Ami counts as a car), I'm not sure it would have been survivable. Strong bollards though!
So, driver keeps going round a corner trying to get it onto 2 wheels, then eventually tips it. What a knob!Saleen836 said:

So, driver keeps going round a corner trying to get it onto 2 wheels, then eventually tips it. What a knob!Bit of a guilty pleasure of mine watching these dashcam videos on Youtube. However, I've spotted quite a few common trends:
1) Any form of overtaking is seen as wreckless even though I've seen numerous examples of the camera car being overtaken in a safe manor and then hammering the overtaker with abuse. I guess looking at the 'why does nobody overtake' thread explains a lot of this.
2) About 80% of the accidents / incidents shown could have been avoided by taking evasive action. I understand that it can be annoying if someone is trying to force into your space but my primary focus when driving is making sure I get wherever I'm going safely and without incident. It seems a lot of people are that struck on 'being right' they're prepared to put themselves in a dangerous position to prove a point. Odd!
3) People stopping for ages after a near miss. So a car pulls across your path causing you to stop, said car moves away but the camera car sits there whinging and moaning for 30 seconds in a vulnerable position irritating everyone around them until they pluck up the courage to move away. Again, very odd.
I find myself quite often thinking "that could have easily been avoided". I'm by no means a perfect driver and therefore make mistakes now and then but a lot of these cammers seem to drive around seeking out trouble. Seems a bit strange to say the least.
