Not sure the speed is an obvious factor since the blue fiat was joining a major road from a minor road and supposed to give way. If she'd looked properly she wouldn't have pulled out. Sure it's a mistake but don't take umbridge if you pull out without looking and then get beeped.

That maybe, but it doesn’t stop Phil from being a massive pipe.

Shout that be 5 years inside and 16 month ban when he gets out?

Something very wrong in this country

Good question. Because you cant drive in jail does that mean 5yr+16month ban?
Otherwise the ban is pointless

The dashcammer appears to be some sort of moron and actually cause most of the issues himself.

Could only watch a few seconds of the first clip. What a horrible accent! The fire engine was about half a mile away! The most typical of DCW’s. What an idiot

Yes definitely. Should just have carried on and he and the other cars would be miles clear of the junction.

Its great spotting emergency vehicles and reacting, but if you start pulling over like that you can't expect others to immediately understand .

The fire truck was waiting for the oncoming cars to clear to go the other side of the island, but the retards coming in the opposite direction decided to stop for no reason alongside the cam car, which meant that all the cars behind ended up blocking the junction . The Audi thought the fire truck wanted to be where s/he was, as it was sat behind them doing nothing, so obliged by moving over, without thinking that doesn't help matters. It was a total clusterfk by every driver in the video. As you said, if they'd all just kept going about their business instead of panicking and trying to be "helpful", it's likely that none of that would have happened. Meanwhile some poor fker's house burnt to the ground and the fire had gone out by the time the truck finally got there .

The fire engine wouldn't have turned it's blues off and used no siren if it was on the way to an urgent job. Probably on the way to a cat stuck up a tree.

I'm not sure that's correct, AIUI if balked by traffic that can't legally move turning sirens off is the normal procedure.

Yes, they turn sirens off once they've arrived at the junction and there's no way through. They certainly don't turn blue lights off 300 yards before the junction unless they're on a non-urgent trip. The fact the sirens weren't used at all also support the fact they weren't in a hurry.

Probably a light sentence really, not sure what went on before the footage, but from the report, and the video I'm guessing old man Kadjar driver took exception to biker filtering, words exchanged, then a "mirror slap", then this act of lunacy.

8 months it too short for someone who uses their car as a weapon, especially against a vulnerable road user.

Love this but heartbreaking that the tracky wearing parasite wasn’t badly injured. Hopefully his dirt bike provides him with a life changer in the future.

Given that the number plate is clearly visible, I suggest your assessment of the bike rider is badly flawed. If you'd seen what "life changing injuries" actually are, you wouldn't be wishing them others.

Pretty piss-poor post really.

Yeah I thought his driving was absolutely insane at the end where he manages to get the biker and then crashes through a hedge and fence etc. he could have killed the kid or anyone else in that vicinity. I’m quite sure we see car theif scrotes locked up for some of their dangerous antics for 18 months (I would put them away for 5 years) so why not this old giffer

6.23. He knew what the Audi was going to do and accelerated to make an incident.

8.40. Can see a car coming out of the junction and then accelerates way above the speed limit to make an incident.

How can someone become that enraged they behave like that?

8 months is lenient.

When you're pulling out of a junction with limited visibility, you're in the path of oncoming traffic by the time you've eased out enough to see it, so pulling out is better than faffing around waiting and getting grief from people who can't see the situation. The Fiat driver was well over the give way line before she came into view because that black Audi was between Phil and her. You also have to remember that people's eyes are in their heads, not on the ends of their bonnets. Just because you can see their cars, it doesn't mean they can see you.

If you're approaching a junction, you should be assessing how well you can check for traffic arriving at it to pull out and how well anyone pulling out can see you. If visibility is restricted, you should be anticipating people pulling out with a limited view of you approaching.

I recall reading they turn off sirens at junctions like that and the police advise motorists NOT to pass a red light for them, what you choose to do is your choice of course.

[carreauchompeur]

Yes definitely. People are a nightmare trying to be helpful, i always cringe seeing people bump up kerbs with nice alloys etc. We don't want or deman that.

Generally if its a no go, we'd tend to sit a good distance back waiting for the lights tp change but I often knock the lights off too since people still want to 'help'!

I very rarely visit this thread, but that ^ is fking disturbing.

The car driver in that clip needs psychiatric help.

Having been on the recieving end of a similar incident - I and my pedal cycle ended up on the bonnet of a car, the driver then got out and tried to also give me a good kicking, 8 months is in line with what my assailant got.
He actually got a 10 months, because he was already on a suspended sentence for another car related assault, and a line of warnings for other things.
He was out in 6 months - and back inside a week later after assaulting someone on his first night out...
