I like your channel. I like that there is commentary but it's not too invasive and I much prefer it without the voice. I also like that it's not over-dramatic, aggressive and hysterical like some of the Dashcam channels. I particularly like the motorbike clips but many channels are all about the drama and rev bombing and act like the biker can do no harm in the situation. Keep it up. I really like these (I may have some clips for you in 6 months once the police have taken the drivers to court).
Came here to say exactly this - and I love the fact the cammer sent that clip in thinking he was in the right. Hopefully the text on the video and these comments will make them realise their error!
I've seen on another dashcam compilation channel a cammer saying that they purposefully sit in the middle and block both lanes in a zipper merge to "prevent people cutting the queue."
@@farmersboy doesn’t matter how long the queue is as long people learn not to block junctions further back down the line. Ask an emergency service driver if he would rather get through a)One lane at 1km + an empty lane or b) 0.5 km of two free lanes followed by 0.5km totally filled with 2 lanes of traffic? The only argument I see here in support of the BMW guy is that we’re supposed to “fill the space “ right upto the merge point. Which quite rightly is what the HC seems to promote. However I think the emergency vehicle argument is a strong one for not doing this. Plus the bad manners one too.
@7:00 And the guy in the red BMW was right. The lane is open. You should not block it like that. At the point it is closed, then the traffic should zipper merge, as per the Highway Code.
Northampton uk transcend. #14 The bmw driver was in the right, the Highway Code says use both lanes and merge in turn. If they didn’t want cars in that lane the signs would have started 200 meters sooner wouldn’t they.
While in the wrong it's generally the convention you don't wait till the last second blasting through traffic if everyone is already queuing like civilised people. You'll find most people won't allow someone to merge past 200 yards if everyone is already queuing
@@FoookOff I'm aware of the highway code, I'm also aware when everyone is being civilised at 600 yards, you'll have to ram me out of the way if you zoom past traffic and try to pull in at the cones
5:10 - following an ambulance is against the law everywhere I know of, very dangerous for the crew as the care being provided may require them to be standing inside the unit and, if rear-ended, severe injuries may occur (we had a guy break his neck in a similar situation, paralyzed from the neck down) Please give emergency vehicles the space they need to operate safely!
Also, not sure why he was so petty as to overtake the ambulance when it's only going to have to go past him again when he catches up to the traffic. Some people are absolute self-centred morons.
The red BMW driver, although over aggresive, had a right to be pissed off with the van/wagon driver trying to block. It is illegal to do so, and the red BMW had every right to use that lane until the merge. Then it's "merge in turn". Using both lanes up to the cones is faster than everyone just using one. Blocking a lane just because you dont like peope doing the legal thing will get you a nice fine
It's strange... that BMW driver looked exactly like I thought he'd look. The UK needs to start using the same traffic sign as the US... "Merge like a zip"... It makes it completely clear how drivers should merge and would save drivers a lot of time every year.
@@mijimonmaster Merge in turn is a poor choice of grammar, given that "turn" can be confused with "left turn" etc. Merge like a zip (then a graphic of a zip) is much clearer. Clarity is king on the roads, where motorists must read and react to multiple signs quickly, as well as doing many other things simultaneously.
Although well intentioned your argument falls flat on its face with the use of the word it’s “faster” this way. Unfortunately that’s mathematically impossible. You need to recalibrate your thought process along with most people here that agree with the bmw driver. It is mathematically impossible to be any faster , 100 cars through one pinch point , theoretically takes exactly the same amount of “time” regardless of the number of lanes leading upto that pinch point. Your thought process is confused probably along with your driving style /technique.
I really don’t understand those who take it upon themselves to prevent cars merging farther up the road than they have. Used to work with two friends who took pride in it, one would drive by the side of the other until the very end of the merge then his mate would let him in. Experienced many times whilst on my motorbike drivers who deliberately close the gap between them when side by side in slow traffic to prevent motorcycles filtering up the middle. Some have lost wing mirrors as a result !
#14 6:42 The cammer is one of those idiotic self appointed lane police. USE ALL THE ROAD THEN FILTER IN TURN AT THE LANE CLOSURE. How hard can it be. These aren't queue jumpers, they are people who know their highway code and want to keep congestion to a minimum for everyone.
3:40 The road marking to indicate no overtaking/crossing the line is literally right there: a solid white line. Maybe the person who had written that piece of subtitling was being sarcastic, but there are so many drivers on the road who actually don't know it despite having passed their test. It's one of the first things people are taught on driving lessons.
That truck paying road sheriff. We had a driver at our place do that in a wagon blocking the lane with nearly 400 yards left The car he was blocking had a dashcam and they sent it into our works. He got a final written warning for that. He told us all, said he didn't deserve that 🤣 If anyone sees anyone doing this with a company logo on it just tag it onto a Facebook post within that companies page. It will start teaching these mongs a lesson
@ 5:58. The separation to of the camera vehicle to lorry in L1 is fractionally over 2 seconds. 2 seconds should be a minimum. At this point brake lights on the car in L2 come on followed almost immediately by those on the lorry ahead in L1. Yet the camcar driver closes on the lorry and pulls out into L2 when well within a safe following distance to the lorry. (This seems to be a classic case of the domino effect, which itself can cause major incidents.) in other words much too close to the lorry. (You don't want to be closer than the minimum braking distance for the speed (240ft for 60 and 315ft for 70) before pulling out; also as you get closer you lose view.) Again you don't want to change into another lane until you have a safe following distance to a vehicle in that lane. So the camcar driver pulls out too close to the van, not having observed the issues ahead and immediately gets into an emergency braking situation. He or she has nobody to blame but him (or her) self for a near crash situation. The other point is signals. They are not a right of passage but too many, mainly because they are not looking and thinking far enough ahead, put signals on as they are starting (or even after they have started) to manoeuvre which is a useless exercise. Signals perform two functions (1) they inform of intention and (2) they ask. To achieve those goals they have to be applied in sufficient time for other motorists to see and understand their meaning, check there is no conflict and THEN make the manoeuvre. From the evolution of this scenario the camcar driver (a) was following too closely (b) was not looking far enough ahead, (3) got caught out by the evolving situation resulting in (4) caught unawares by the lorry braking in L1 and given the short following distance was quickly right up behind the lorry resulting in the domino action into L2 close behind the van and the immediate emergency stop. If the camcar driver had been at 3-4 seconds and been looking an thinking ahead he or she could comfortably have pulled up behind the lorry and saved all the drama and potentially dangerous domino into L2. Dominos into L2 can often cause further dominos into L3 for similar reasons. . A classic mindset for a crash also with brain not fully engaged. Look ahead. Think ahead and remember that space and time are you greatest asset for safety. You quite literally lose them at your peril
Number 14 Not only is the one in the BMW an arse. But the camera vehicle is worse blocking 2 lanes because they don't like people following the highway code
At 7.00 the red bmw driver overreacted but he is correct. The merge is 200 yds away, heck that is 20 secs to Usain bolt. Too often a vehicle, often a lorry will block 1 lane 600 yds from the merge but they are only slowing traffic down. Tip use both lanes and merge in turn it will flow far more easily.
6:45 In a lot of European countries what the cammer guy is doing is actually ILLEGAL. The Merge lane is suppose to be used until it ends. By blocking it (in Poland we call it "Szeryfowanie" eng. sheriffing) you are more likely to cause bigger traffic jam than it needs to be. If everyone where driving and using the technice called "zipper merge" (when two lanes merge into one, each lane lets one car at time, one from left lane then right lane and again left lane) the traffic would move way faster, but of course there are idiots that often will not let other drivers merge with excuse "I was in this lane already so I don't let anyone in".
I'm staggered each time I watch these uploads at the poor standards of driving. 95% of incidents/accidents are from too much aggression, not leaving enough distance and driving too fast.
They're no longer called Road Traffic Accidents as there is always a cause - "accident" implies that there was nothing that could be done. In this case, more attention by the driver following would have avoifld3d the collision.
Tbf, at 1:40 the Renault driver pulled out on the BMW on the roundabout and then didn't give way to the BMW when it went from 2 lanes to 1. Although, why the BMW put themselves in that position in the first place is ridiculous 🙄 then to continue the conflict is just dangerous.
BMW driver is in the right but I think his problem is largely due to the fact that he's driving the cheapest BMW you can buy - a 116hp 316d. Debaged of course.
I think that around 30% of Drivers should just hand in their Licence. They probably did the bare minimum to get a Licence in a small sedan/suv then couldn't be bothered to learn ever again. When they migrate to large SUV's you really see how destructive they are. Road rules are a suggestion for them, engaging corners or just bends in the road requires them to take both sides of the road if needed even in a small car. They think Indicators are an Aftermarket Accessory. And Tunnel Vision is their Guide. They are usually oblivious to the Mayhem they cause as Better Drivers Brake/Swerve to avoid them. And they are offended when people point out their mistakes by horn/lights or telling them. Arrogance/Ignorance/Both?
1:56, the car on the right, is and has been for a while in front of the car on the left, in English speaking countries this gives HIM priority and it is up to the other car not to speed up as he did to try to get ahead. Perhaps he ( the leftie) should be made to do a "Barely Adequate Driver's Course", as it is obviously not advanced.
2:55 And to top it off, the moron decides to open their door as the cammer is passing them, creating another potentially dangerous situation 👏 3:41 Or maybe put up a sign to warn other drivers of imbeciles trying to overtake in poor visibility conditions.
I piss myself laughing when drivers say cyclists are the biggest menace on the roads and should have some sort of ID. Doesn't stop a lot of drivers being total dick heads. Go figure.
#13 bmw man had already made his point and should have sailed off smugly up to the merge ..instead we all now know what an ginormous prick he really is. Wonder what his pistonheads username is..
Whoever the cammer is at 6:40 is in the wrong. Not only obstructing traffic flow, but also causing an obstruction. There is a reason is a merge and the lane is open for another 200yds, its to help traffic flow you tool...
A lot of drivers don't know the updated version of Rule 134 - especially those over 50 or so who mostly learnt off their parents who learnt when the general guidance for driving was to form a nice orderly queue and that kind of thing and have never looked at the highway code since.
@@Rroff2 "... especially those over 50 ... " Really? Strange you don't mention the substantial number of drivers on UK roads who have never taken a UK test, theory, hazard perception or practical, let alone revisited the Highway Code afterwards. Or is ageism your speciality?
@@Rroff2 I'm well over 50 and have never heard of rule 134. It's just common sense to go turnabout, like the teeth on a zip. I've had to inform many younger drivers this is what they should be doing. I was coming to a merge tailback and in the left lane it straddled a traffic lighted junction on a 60mph road. Not a car in the right hand lane for more than 100 yards. Edit. Only did my test in 03. I'm a biker.
He was over the top aggressive, should've just sat behind calling the driver names and submitted a dash cam video of the dash cammers terrible driving and complete misunderstanding of how to help traffic flow. He let the truck past then blocked the car. Must have seen red 🤣
Doesn't have the right to jump out and flex his saggy man boobs though does he? Wasting whatever precious seconds he was going to gain. I think the guys a knobhead and I expect his kid will turn out to be another knobhead just like his father, so the cycle continues.
@@grahamtaylor6883 The highway code says to do exactly what he's doing - use both lanes until the merger and then merge in turn. The cammer has taken it upon themselves to block traffic in both lanes rather than let it flow correctly.
@@grahamtaylor6883 it’s not even a case that he is legally allowed to, it’s what you are supposed to do. It’s not queue jumping, if everyone was following the rules there would have been no way for him to “jump the queue” as both lanes would be full of cars. I suppose motorcyclists are arseholes for filtering through traffic too by that logic.
@@grahamtaylor6883 It's not queue jumping it's just using the shortest queue. You wouldn't join the longest queue while shopping so why do it while driving?
I loved the ranger rover at 2:50, after being pulled over, they open their door without checking for traffic and could have caused an accident; I hope the police picked on that one too!
Hate for bmws makes me laugh. They're always from people in lesser cars. Jealousy is a terrible thing. How small minded do you have to be to think that all people who own one type of car are bad drivers. It's hilarious. See a guy in a nice car he worked hard for....hate him.. lol
@@andyroche7713 Comments like yours make me laugh - you say that people work hard for them as though they have bought their BMW outright, when probably 90% of them are on big finance deals. 🤣🤣 You also falsely equate working hard with high salary, which again is wrong. Hilariously poor comment all round really...
@@fuzzluvver69 so bmws are only expensive when bought outright lol!!! £600 per month for the car before tax and all other running costs ha ha. Sounds like a another jelous man here.
Agreed, blocking the road just increases the length of the queue. I have seen this sort of behaviour result in static traffic on the main carriageway of a motorways and dual carriageways, and causing congestion on roundabouts.
well done on clarifying the incident at 6:40. In slow or stationary traffic fill up both lanes. Not sure it's worth the "come and have a go" rage, but still!
Not sure? Is that just understatement? The clown with the red BMW is a moron. Wild over reaction, and one that will land him in strife eventually. I bet it isn’t his first roadside meltdown, and one day he will pick on someone who does ‘have a go’.
To be fair, the cammer kept pulling further and further out and the BMW wasn't far from the kerb when it stopped. A few hundred quid to repair scraped wheel vs the fine. I'd be pretty mad if someone tried taking that money out of my pocket for doing exactly I was supposed to.
@@thesmallerhalf1968 although the driver of the red BMW over reacted, the cammer is in the wrong in the first place. The offence he is committing is 'obstructing the Queen's highway'. There is no reason for him to be straddling two lanes at once other than being an idiot.
1:30 Clio definitely in the wrong by not letting the BMW merge. However, looking at the cammer's footage several times, I believe the BMW was not on the roundabout but in the right lane next to the cammer. Google maps show no markings and in my opinion, the BMW drove perfectly safely by entering the roundabout in the right lane and exiting in the right lane, albeit, a left turn. His manoeuvre may have been cheeky, at worst.
Agree so far, the Clio driver failed to let the BMW merge in turn. But the BMW driver's behaviour after that was despicable, and any sympathy I might have had went out the window.
Quite correct ive answered it above. Council force stupidly on the A460 to take the right lane to go straight on or turn right. But retain original 1985 road markings. Clio would have seen BMW in right lane for max 4 seconds before it may have intended to veer in to left original lane fine, hence why he is half way over when seen. Clio closed the gap but also pulled out making BMW take right lane entering.
I suspect it's not the following the ambulance as such, but that by doing that you're possibly/probably breaking all kinds of other rules: speeding, running red lights, tailgating, dangerous and/or inconsiderate driving, and more. It's also more dangerous for the ambulance and slows them down if they're being tailgated, as the driver has to worry about the tailgater going into his back if he has to break suddenly.
People who block lanes in the build up to roadworks / zip merges should be beaten and banned from driving. Just because some people like queuing and don't understand the highway code doesn't mean the rest of us have to suffer.
#14 The cammer is a tool, Fill both lanes and zipper merge one after the other. It's not hard. The BMW driver on the other hand, typical BMW driver... 😉
Yeah, I see this regulary that foreign truck driver block the ending lane hundreds of yards before it ends here in Germany. But drivers just not have the right to use the ending lane until it ends, it´s even a law in Germany to use it and change over right before the blockage. PS: cammer is an idiot, sorry, need to say this.
Merge in turn police. Frustrating to watch. There was a clip a while back of a car that held up miles of traffic in the right hand lane of three lanes, whereas the right hand lane meged off to another road and had no bearing on the stopped traffic in the other 2 lanes. The car driver had multiple people pleading with him to see sense and move over. How no one used force in that situation, I'm surprised.
I seen people quing in the "open lane" when the lane that had the closed sign wasn't actually closed (see this often with 2 hour bus lanes, personally I am fine with it as it becomes my own personal lane because people can't read)
1:37 - I understand the issues with the merge, but is nobody acknowledging that the Renault pulled out on this guy on the roundabout and then proceeded to close the gap to prevent the BMW from safely merging? Clio is a prick in my eyes
The Clio driver contravened the Highway Code, it's a merge-in-turn and the BMW had the right-of-way. Of course then the BMW driver had to be a dick about it to prove a point... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Both as bad as each other.
Here's my take... Traffic on the roundabout has priority, yes, so there's that. There's also the black van that uses lane 2 to turn left in the direction that they're going, so perhaps Renault driver saw the BMW in lane 2 and thought they'd stay there and pulled out? However, the BMW driver didn't make use of the extra power their vehicle has to get in front, whilst they could and then still wanted to "push in front" and then "cause drama". The road markings are faint, but the BMW driver missed the merge markings at 1:45 and then drives onto the (again, faint) hatched markings, before yet again failing to merge with the new markings at 1:50 onwards... A reminder that good drivers have the ability to fix the problems caused by other drivers, so that they don't become an eventful issue. Neither the BMW driver or the Renault driver are good here.
@GaffaTV I was thinking, on the point about the BMW not accelerating; You can see they're entering a 30 and there are signs for speed cameras; my take is that the BMW didn't want to exceed that limit - the Clio on the other hand accelerated quite harshly (to the point where they had to brake, so likely exceeded speed limit just to close the gap and block the BMW. Yes, the BMW clearly noticed this and decided to take the stubborn route, but frankly I would've done the same if someone pulled out in front of me on a roundabout and then blocked me from merging. The brake checking and swerving however, a little childish.
7:26 your words are so true, I’m fed up with people thinking they’re the highway traffic control. 200 yards ahead to the merging point. People need to read the Highway Code.
Wow - the “Highway traffic control” not sure who they are? , are you sure you learnt to drive in the U.K. as this organisation doesn’t get a mention in the HC😂.
@@duncanmacleod7283 it's closed 200 yards up the road. It's not closed yet. HC advises to use all available lanes. You can see from the clip that there are two lanes available. Instead of having 1 mile of queues covering 2 lanes, everybody going early means 2 miles of queue in 1 lane, and 2 miles of wasted, empty lane.
In the very first clip the driver needs to learn that the horn is meant to be used to give advance warning of approach ; not as a rebuke after an event
You're 100% right about the people who seem to think that once they put their indicator on that it's suddenly their right of way. I've seen so many near misses by people basically using it as an excuse to cut someone up.

Imo they caused it even earlier than that. To me it looks like the BMW driver wanted to exit the roundabout on the left lane but the Clio driver pulled out preventing them from doing so.
I agree, the clio was also tailgating to close the gap on the BMW way before the merge, then tailgated the BMW afterwards. However, the BMW shouldn't brake check.
Clio driver initially at fault, but no excuse for the BMW driver's behaviour afterwards. If both pulled over by the Police, I'd say the Clio driver would have had a verbal warning, BMW driver could be looking at points on their license because their driving was verging on if not actually dangerous.
Regardless of " ... life's too short to ...", I don't feel that careless driving and bad manners shouldn't be rewarded. It only serves to add to their already overinflated sense of self importance!
2:55 - Glad the bully got pulled over. The caption was right - people should be pulled over for the minor things - they obviously did this purposely. They're so dumb they even open their door without checking their mirrors ... shame they didn't lose a door too.
6:50 this boils my piss, I've been in the BMWs position and a big jag tried to police both lane preventing me from passing. I don't know why people thinks its against the code to use both lanes, maybe its just our queuing culture
@@grahamtaylor6883 no, it's called not understanding the rules. A merge in turn is designed for two parallel lanes to fill up equally and orderly merging in a zipper fashion, one left one right. What's so difficult about it? Using only one lane makes the queue twice as long and the journey longer for everyone, which is poor manners
@@grahamtaylor6883 it's not manners. There are usually big signs saying 'use both lanes when queuing' and they're there for a reason. Extending the queue unnecessarily can cause junctions to be blocked and hold up people who don't even want to use the road with the queue. If people did the sensible thing and used both lanes, then no-one would be able to cut the queue anyway, would they?
@@Jaccayumitty Correct and I agree with you on that one. But the case in the video wasn't that. In an ideal world there'd be equal traffic in both lanes, but that's not what happens in reality. Anyone can see that in this example, it's just queue jumping. It's not illegal, it's just bad manners. So it should come as no surprise when people who are queuing get p'd off. Which is what happened. Plus the traffic moves faster as a single lane as there's no stop/starting to keep letting people in.
@@grahamtaylor6883 beginning to think you might be the cammer 🤣. I don't think anyone who's actually read the highway code has this kind of attitude. Please retake your test until you know what a zipper merge is and more importantly WHY we have them. Your attitude will cause delays to countless peoples journeys and it doesn't have to be like that. You could be a decent person instead, learn the rules, and follow them!
2:04 you're completely wrong with this comment. The Clio was at fault throughout. He pulled in front of the BMW and then didn't let him merge either. What happened after was childish, both idiots at that stage..
You judged the disabled man legally crossing at the corner, and not the jerk motorist trying to cheat their way past traffic on the curb lane? Many of your comments show a lack of understanding of pedestrian and cyclist right-of-way, and your dismissing of dangerous driver behaviors. It may be best to just let us watch the video, and save yourself the trouble of posting your commentary that NOBODY watches these videos for.
At 3:43, I hope you were being sarcastic; that solid white line down the middle of the road means just that. If the registration of that idiot car can be read, that's one to hand to the police.
Not only Is the BMW (for once) doing the correct thing, but it is not anyones job to start enforcing the law regardless, don’t cause accidents / crashes for no reason. Saw a guy yesterday block someone who was flying up the hard shoulder. Yes they were in the wrong but don’t cause an accident by trying to enforce laws
3:40 Marking the road? Umm - there are re-merge and "no overtaking this direction" marks in the centre of the road! Besides that there is a blind bend approaching. No sane person overtakes on or just before a blind bend. Thats suicide.
Annoys the f##k outta me when people take the action the cammer did in #14. Happens so often and not only is it stupid and dangerous but the reaction is against driver doing the right thing. Just because you've decided to sit in a queue and do the "polite" thing, doesn't mean everyone else has to. Also queueing early at a merge causes more jams than if both lanes are used fully to the merge. Similar things happen at 2 lane merges after traffic lights, always see queues of cars in the left hand lane and a few in the outside. Causes so many traffic issues that could be avoided if both lanes were fully utilised
In my experience it could equally have been a large Audi, BMW, Mercedes, or the latest 'entitled driver who likes to intimidate other road users' vehicle, a Ford Ranger. And the last in that list is by far the worst.
@4:37 you can clearly see the guy who rear ended the cammer has his phone in his hand and appears to be looking at it against his steering wheel. I would have reported him to the Police and showed them this footage.
Not sure what black magic you used to come up with that. Looks to me like his head is up with his right hand on the top-centre of the wheel gripping on and his left hand is on the gearstick. The fact that he instantly ripped the handbrake after the hit also suggest his hand was down there in the gearstick/handbrake area. This is exactly what the car that got hit thought aswell after watching the footage.
Some good advice on driving here just calm down from an experienced road rage person on both sides I was attacked when young and became very aggressive learnt to chill now much happier in life
The Liverpool one was brilliant as the police saw it and stopped the thicko Range Rover lol. I live where that incident was in hunts cross Mackets lane junction.
8:42 The whole situation could have been avoided if the Suzuki held back instead of closing the gap. Whether or not the van is in the right the Suzuki could have made it a non issue.
OR the van driver could have avoided the whole situation by merging behind, rather than deciding he has to go in front. Not sure why it's up to the car with priority to make things a non-issue...the van made things an issue
The music they’ve got playing on their radios just makes it more funny, because it contrasts with the mood of the angry drivers and the situation as a whole 😂
Think you've slightly misread situation there. At 1:41, the Renault pulled a move that was rather debatable on the BMW, so I'm not surprised that BMW was keen to redress the balance. Renault driver was clearly "up for it", and tried to fend BMW off. What we are witnessing is two egos determined to have the last word on the matter at whatever cost.
I saw a mobility buggy cross two sets of traffic lights shewing green for fast traffic and then he proceeded down the main road despite a very wide pavement on his left. I had the dashcam unconnected...shucks! He got loudly hooted. My town must be mobility city...so many everywhere.
seems like "Yielding" or "giving way"....or "courtesy" don't play much of a role on britains streets and roads.....but plenty of "Don't EVER tell ME what to do"....yep....brits... i know...i'm married to one....🙂
Dear #14. Go read the highway code. It says use all lanes. Traffic enforcement is not your job, and you are doing it at wrong time, in wrong place. Using both lanes, and doing a proper merge in turn halves the queue length, and is both quicker and safer for all. Numpty!

I like your channel. I like that there is commentary but it's not too invasive and I much prefer it without the voice. I also like that it's not over-dramatic, aggressive and hysterical like some of the Dashcam channels. I particularly like the motorbike clips but many channels are all about the drama and rev bombing and act like the biker can do no harm in the situation.
Keep it up. I really like these (I may have some clips for you in 6 months once the police have taken the drivers to court).
I really don't understand how people STILL don't know how a merge works. Use the full length of the road. That's why it's there.
That's why we get longer queues, because some tosser has decided to block the other lane. I don't blame the BMW driver for being angry.
Came here to say exactly this - and I love the fact the cammer sent that clip in thinking he was in the right. Hopefully the text on the video and these comments will make them realise their error!
I've seen on another dashcam compilation channel a cammer saying that they purposefully sit in the middle and block both lanes in a zipper merge to "prevent people cutting the queue."
#14 Literally sat by a sign that tells you the lane ends in 200 yards
@@farmersboy doesn’t matter how long the queue is as long people learn not to block junctions further back down the line. Ask an emergency service driver if he would rather get through a)One lane at 1km + an empty lane or b) 0.5 km of two free lanes followed by 0.5km totally filled with 2 lanes of traffic? The only argument I see here in support of the BMW guy is that we’re supposed to “fill the space “ right upto the merge point. Which quite rightly is what the HC seems to promote. However I think the emergency vehicle argument is a strong one for not doing this. Plus the bad manners one too.
@7:00 And the guy in the red BMW was right. The lane is open. You should not block it like that. At the point it is closed, then the traffic should zipper merge, as per the Highway Code.
Northampton uk transcend. #14 The bmw driver was in the right, the Highway Code says use both lanes and merge in turn. If they didn’t want cars in that lane the signs would have started 200 meters sooner wouldn’t they.

5:10 - following an ambulance is against the law everywhere I know of, very dangerous for the crew as the care being provided may require them to be standing inside the unit and, if rear-ended, severe injuries may occur (we had a guy break his neck in a similar situation, paralyzed from the neck down) Please give emergency vehicles the space they need to operate safely!
Also, not sure why he was so petty as to overtake the ambulance when it's only going to have to go past him again when he catches up to the traffic. Some people are absolute self-centred morons.
this comment should be pinned to the top, as well!
The red BMW driver, although over aggresive, had a right to be pissed off with the van/wagon driver trying to block. It is illegal to do so, and the red BMW had every right to use that lane until the merge. Then it's "merge in turn". Using both lanes up to the cones is faster than everyone just using one. Blocking a lane just because you dont like peope doing the legal thing will get you a nice fine
Same with filtering on motorbikes. It's happened to me a few times.
It's strange... that BMW driver looked exactly like I thought he'd look.
The UK needs to start using the same traffic sign as the US... "Merge like a zip"... It makes it completely clear how drivers should merge and would save drivers a lot of time every year.
@@Zerobob26 We now have "merge in turn" signs, but morons just dont/wont see them
@@mijimonmaster Merge in turn is a poor choice of grammar, given that "turn" can be confused with "left turn" etc. Merge like a zip (then a graphic of a zip) is much clearer. Clarity is king on the roads, where motorists must read and react to multiple signs quickly, as well as doing many other things simultaneously.
Although well intentioned your argument falls flat on its face with the use of the word it’s “faster” this way. Unfortunately that’s mathematically impossible. You need to recalibrate your thought process along with most people here that agree with the bmw driver. It is mathematically impossible to be any faster , 100 cars through one pinch point , theoretically takes exactly the same amount of “time” regardless of the number of lanes leading upto that pinch point. Your thought process is confused probably along with your driving style /technique.
7:20 that BMW drives the right to be fumming at the lorry driver, what a prick, why block the lane when it says merge in 200 metres
I really don’t understand those who take it upon themselves to prevent cars merging farther up the road than they have. Used to work with two friends who took pride in it, one would drive by the side of the other until the very end of the merge then his mate would let him in. Experienced many times whilst on my motorbike drivers who deliberately close the gap between them when side by side in slow traffic to prevent motorcycles filtering up the middle. Some have lost wing mirrors as a result !
It comes to something when you actually avoid following the highway code because of cretins like this. Wing mirror slaps are WELL deserved.
Because it's a competition and they want to win at any cost. Those motorbikes are cheating!
Willfully commiting criminal damage may very well result in a furious squeeze with biker horrifically crushed potentially losing a leg in the process.
It's crazy, I've never seen videos that put the commentary in text at the bottom of the screen, it works surprisingly well.
Damn you driver of the cam vehicle in clip 14. You've created a new monster; a BMW twit who's in the right. God only knows what he'll do next.
Decided to get out of bed late? Yeah that's everyone else's problem!
#14 6:42 The cammer is one of those idiotic self appointed lane police. USE ALL THE ROAD THEN FILTER IN TURN AT THE LANE CLOSURE. How hard can it be. These aren't queue jumpers, they are people who know their highway code and want to keep congestion to a minimum for everyone.
It’s called Filter in turn.. read the Highway Code, use the filter lanes that’s why they are there.
Don’t sit in between the two lanes that’s wrong..
3:40 - the road IS marked to tell the driver - it’s just that they have ignored it and tried to pass anyway !
Tell me you don't understand sarcasm...
Blocking a lane that is still open is illegal, the guy has 200 yards before he needs to filter into the traffic
that old boy on the scooter shows they are made different lol
#14 People like the cammer should automatically lose their licence for 6 months for this.
Where is the place at the end of the video, and what is the song? It is very beautiful, and the song makes it so much more beautiful.
6:47. Hopefully the cammer has learnt his lesson.
3:40 The road marking to indicate no overtaking/crossing the line is literally right there: a solid white line. Maybe the person who had written that piece of subtitling was being sarcastic, but there are so many drivers on the road who actually don't know it despite having passed their test. It's one of the first things people are taught on driving lessons.
That truck paying road sheriff.
We had a driver at our place do that in a wagon blocking the lane with nearly 400 yards left
The car he was blocking had a dashcam and they sent it into our works.
He got a final written warning for that.
He told us all, said he didn't deserve that 🤣

@ 5:58. The separation to of the camera vehicle to lorry in L1 is fractionally over 2 seconds. 2 seconds should be a minimum. At this point brake lights on the car in L2 come on followed almost immediately by those on the lorry ahead in L1. Yet the camcar driver closes on the lorry and pulls out into L2 when well within a safe following distance to the lorry. (This seems to be a classic case of the domino effect, which itself can cause major incidents.) in other words much too close to the lorry. (You don't want to be closer than the minimum braking distance for the speed (240ft for 60 and 315ft for 70) before pulling out; also as you get closer you lose view.) Again you don't want to change into another lane until you have a safe following distance to a vehicle in that lane. So the camcar driver pulls out too close to the van, not having observed the issues ahead and immediately gets into an emergency braking situation. He or she has nobody to blame but him (or her) self for a near crash situation. The other point is signals. They are not a right of passage but too many, mainly because they are not looking and thinking far enough ahead, put signals on as they are starting (or even after they have started) to manoeuvre which is a useless exercise. Signals perform two functions (1) they inform of intention and (2) they ask. To achieve those goals they have to be applied in sufficient time for other motorists to see and understand their meaning, check there is no conflict and THEN make the manoeuvre. From the evolution of this scenario the camcar driver (a) was following too closely (b) was not looking far enough ahead, (3) got caught out by the evolving situation resulting in (4) caught unawares by the lorry braking in L1 and given the short following distance was quickly right up behind the lorry resulting in the domino action into L2 close behind the van and the immediate emergency stop. If the camcar driver had been at 3-4 seconds and been looking an thinking ahead he or she could comfortably have pulled up behind the lorry and saved all the drama and potentially dangerous domino into L2. Dominos into L2 can often cause further dominos into L3 for similar reasons. . A classic mindset for a crash also with brain not fully engaged. Look ahead. Think ahead and remember that space and time are you greatest asset for safety. You quite literally lose them at your peril
Number 14
Not only is the one in the BMW an arse. But the camera vehicle is worse blocking 2 lanes because they don't like people following the highway code
At 7.00 the red bmw driver overreacted but he is correct. The merge is 200 yds away, heck that is 20 secs to Usain bolt. Too often a vehicle, often a lorry will block 1 lane 600 yds from the merge but they are only slowing traffic down. Tip use both lanes and merge in turn it will flow far more easily.
6:25 you spelled METRE wrongly !
6:45 In a lot of European countries what the cammer guy is doing is actually ILLEGAL. The Merge lane is suppose to be used until it ends. By blocking it (in Poland we call it "Szeryfowanie" eng. sheriffing) you are more likely to cause bigger traffic jam than it needs to be. If everyone where driving and using the technice called "zipper merge" (when two lanes merge into one, each lane lets one car at time, one from left lane then right lane and again left lane) the traffic would move way faster, but of course there are idiots that often will not let other drivers merge with excuse "I was in this lane already so I don't let anyone in".
The cam driver in the first clip either wasn't paying attention or decided to plough on in order to get the clip.
I'm staggered each time I watch these uploads at the poor standards of driving. 95% of incidents/accidents are from too much aggression, not leaving enough distance and driving too fast.
I’m with you 100% mate. Unfortunately a lot of people won’t agree.
Not sure when it was filmed but are you not supposed to let people cross at crossings now.
They're no longer called Road Traffic Accidents as there is always a cause - "accident" implies that there was nothing that could be done.
In this case, more attention by the driver following would have avoifld3d the collision.
Clip 4 : do not overtake through junctions
3:41 There is. You can't overtake on a solid white line.
Tbf, at 1:40 the Renault driver pulled out on the BMW on the roundabout and then didn't give way to the BMW when it went from 2 lanes to 1. Although, why the BMW put themselves in that position in the first place is ridiculous 🙄 then to continue the conflict is just dangerous.
Then the BMW failed to stop after an accident.
am I the only one who cracked up at 4:00? "ready for my cUm, my cUM-"
6:54 you need your licence removed
BMW driver is in the right but I think his problem is largely due to the fact that he's driving the cheapest BMW you can buy - a 116hp 316d. Debaged of course.
I think that around 30% of Drivers should just hand in their Licence. They probably did the bare minimum to get a Licence in a small sedan/suv then couldn't be bothered to learn ever again. When they migrate to large SUV's you really see how destructive they are. Road rules are a suggestion for them, engaging corners or just bends in the road requires them to take both sides of the road if needed even in a small car. They think Indicators are an Aftermarket Accessory. And Tunnel Vision is their Guide. They are usually oblivious to the Mayhem they cause as Better Drivers Brake/Swerve to avoid them. And they are offended when people point out their mistakes by horn/lights or telling them. Arrogance/Ignorance/Both?
Thank God I'm a perfect driver
1:56, the car on the right, is and has been for a while in front of the car on the left, in English speaking countries this gives HIM priority and it is up to the other car not to speed up as he did to try to get ahead. Perhaps he ( the leftie) should be made to do a "Barely Adequate Driver's Course", as it is obviously not advanced.
2:55 And to top it off, the moron decides to open their door as the cammer is passing them, creating another potentially dangerous situation 👏
3:41 Or maybe put up a sign to warn other drivers of imbeciles trying to overtake in poor visibility conditions.
Wonder if #14 was a truck funny how he let another truck pass
I hope that #14 has handed the footage to the Police if he’s so proud, the cam car is a complete cretin in this case.
Exactly what I was going to write. Presumably he has a camera on the front also so he’ll have got the reg of the van
Hopefully the bad drivers got fired
I piss myself laughing when drivers say cyclists are the biggest menace on the roads and should have some sort of ID. Doesn't stop a lot of drivers being total dick heads. Go figure.

Whoever the cammer is at 6:40 is in the wrong. Not only obstructing traffic flow, but also causing an obstruction. There is a reason is a merge and the lane is open for another 200yds, its to help traffic flow you tool...
A lot of drivers don't know the updated version of Rule 134 - especially those over 50 or so who mostly learnt off their parents who learnt when the general guidance for driving was to form a nice orderly queue and that kind of thing and have never looked at the highway code since.

Yes, before a lane closure use all lanes and then merge in turn - not that everyone seems to understand the merge in turn concept, but hey.
Go to Poland or Germany - you will either learn quickly, or you will lose license xD
Agreed, blocking the road just increases the length of the queue. I have seen this sort of behaviour result in static traffic on the main carriageway of a motorways and dual carriageways, and causing congestion on roundabouts.
"I'm an idiot who queued all this way so I'm going to make you do the same"
well done on clarifying the incident at 6:40. In slow or stationary traffic fill up both lanes. Not sure it's worth the "come and have a go" rage, but still!
Not sure? Is that just understatement? The clown with the red BMW is a moron. Wild over reaction, and one that will land him in strife eventually. I bet it isn’t his first roadside meltdown, and one day he will pick on someone who does ‘have a go’.
To be fair, the cammer kept pulling further and further out and the BMW wasn't far from the kerb when it stopped. A few hundred quid to repair scraped wheel vs the fine. I'd be pretty mad if someone tried taking that money out of my pocket for doing exactly I was supposed to.
@@thesmallerhalf1968 Yes, the BMW driver is a prize dick. Needs sorting out by Gangster Lee (in Manchester)
@@thesmallerhalf1968 although the driver of the red BMW over reacted, the cammer is in the wrong in the first place. The offence he is committing is 'obstructing the Queen's highway'. There is no reason for him to be straddling two lanes at once other than being an idiot.
@@thesmallerhalf1968 Wouldn't have happened if the Cammer had any knowledge or skill. Reaction was over the top but Cammer caused it.
1:30 Clio definitely in the wrong by not letting the BMW merge. However, looking at the cammer's footage several times, I believe the BMW was not on the roundabout but in the right lane next to the cammer. Google maps show no markings and in my opinion, the BMW drove perfectly safely by entering the roundabout in the right lane and exiting in the right lane, albeit, a left turn. His manoeuvre may have been cheeky, at worst.
Agree so far, the Clio driver failed to let the BMW merge in turn. But the BMW driver's behaviour after that was despicable, and any sympathy I might have had went out the window.
Quite correct ive answered it above.
Council force stupidly on the A460 to take the right lane to go straight on or turn right. But retain original 1985 road markings. Clio would have seen BMW in right lane for max 4 seconds before it may have intended to veer in to left original lane fine, hence why he is half way over when seen.
Clio closed the gap but also pulled out making BMW take right lane entering.
5:55 what the guy did following the ambulance is illegal in the uk and is a minimum of 6 points and 2k fine
I never knew that, what Section of the RTA would this be?
@@danmcadie2515 fk knows it was about 10 years ago I was charged for it 🤣
@@jamesearljohns548 what was the actual charge?
I suspect it's not the following the ambulance as such, but that by doing that you're possibly/probably breaking all kinds of other rules: speeding, running red lights, tailgating, dangerous and/or inconsiderate driving, and more. It's also more dangerous for the ambulance and slows them down if they're being tailgated, as the driver has to worry about the tailgater going into his back if he has to break suddenly.
No it isn’t, you’re either lying or you were prosecuted for something completely different
People who block lanes in the build up to roadworks / zip merges should be beaten and banned from driving. Just because some people like queuing and don't understand the highway code doesn't mean the rest of us have to suffer.
its a 30 pound fine for that, but other rules maybe broken like careless or dangerous and both big points and fine, and 40% extra for insurance
Assaulting someone because they blocked a lane? Seek help immediately, you are mentally insane.
#14 The cammer is a tool, Fill both lanes and zipper merge one after the other. It's not hard. The BMW driver on the other hand, typical BMW driver... 😉
#14 commentary i'm pleased to see! Ashley Neal would be proud. What a dangerous and disgraceful manoeuvre by the cammer.
Shame the bmw driver didn't follow through with the road rage. Folk who block lanes need slapped
5:11 Ashley Neal has a video of another idiot trying that stunt and running into the back of the ambulance when it brakes hard.
6:45 blocking merge lane is common in Poland, we call them sheriffs of the road
Yeah, I see this regulary that foreign truck driver block the ending lane hundreds of yards before it ends here in Germany. But drivers just not have the right to use the ending lane until it ends, it´s even a law in Germany to use it and change over right before the blockage. PS: cammer is an idiot, sorry, need to say this.
Merge in turn police. Frustrating to watch. There was a clip a while back of a car that held up miles of traffic in the right hand lane of three lanes, whereas the right hand lane meged off to another road and had no bearing on the stopped traffic in the other 2 lanes. The car driver had multiple people pleading with him to see sense and move over. How no one used force in that situation, I'm surprised.
I seen people quing in the "open lane" when the lane that had the closed sign wasn't actually closed (see this often with 2 hour bus lanes, personally I am fine with it as it becomes my own personal lane because people can't read)
1:37 - I understand the issues with the merge, but is nobody acknowledging that the Renault pulled out on this guy on the roundabout and then proceeded to close the gap to prevent the BMW from safely merging? Clio is a prick in my eyes
The Clio driver knew exactly what he was doing and is just as bad.
Im not completely sure, but it looked like the BM was turning left from the right hand lane next to the cammer.
The Clio driver contravened the Highway Code, it's a merge-in-turn and the BMW had the right-of-way. Of course then the BMW driver had to be a dick about it to prove a point... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Both as bad as each other.
Here's my take... Traffic on the roundabout has priority, yes, so there's that. There's also the black van that uses lane 2 to turn left in the direction that they're going, so perhaps Renault driver saw the BMW in lane 2 and thought they'd stay there and pulled out?
However, the BMW driver didn't make use of the extra power their vehicle has to get in front, whilst they could and then still wanted to "push in front" and then "cause drama".
The road markings are faint, but the BMW driver missed the merge markings at 1:45 and then drives onto the (again, faint) hatched markings, before yet again failing to merge with the new markings at 1:50 onwards...
A reminder that good drivers have the ability to fix the problems caused by other drivers, so that they don't become an eventful issue. Neither the BMW driver or the Renault driver are good here.
@GaffaTV I was thinking, on the point about the BMW not accelerating; You can see they're entering a 30 and there are signs for speed cameras; my take is that the BMW didn't want to exceed that limit - the Clio on the other hand accelerated quite harshly (to the point where they had to brake, so likely exceeded speed limit just to close the gap and block the BMW.
Yes, the BMW clearly noticed this and decided to take the stubborn route, but frankly I would've done the same if someone pulled out in front of me on a roundabout and then blocked me from merging.
The brake checking and swerving however, a little childish.
2:52 cuts you off from wrong lane and then opens the door right as you pass by 🤦♂️
7:26 your words are so true, I’m fed up with people thinking they’re the highway traffic control. 200 yards ahead to the merging point. People need to read the Highway Code.
And if everyone goes into one lane in turn everyone is happy just like pulling up a zip 🙂
Wow - the “Highway traffic control” not sure who they are? , are you sure you learnt to drive in the U.K. as this organisation doesn’t get a mention in the HC😂.
It's not a merging point. It's a closed lane.
@@duncanmacleod7283 and what are the vehicles doing in that area??
@@duncanmacleod7283 it's closed 200 yards up the road. It's not closed yet. HC advises to use all available lanes. You can see from the clip that there are two lanes available. Instead of having 1 mile of queues covering 2 lanes, everybody going early means 2 miles of queue in 1 lane, and 2 miles of wasted, empty lane.
Maybe the driver following the ambulance is a solicitor. 😄😄😄😄
And the ambulance driver just informed him that the patient was a homeless person.
7:15 : zipper merge = drive till the end and then zip , never block the road !
In the very first clip the driver needs to learn that the horn is meant to be used to give advance warning of approach ; not as a rebuke after an event
This not last weeks clips?
You're 100% right about the people who seem to think that once they put their indicator on that it's suddenly their right of way. I've seen so many near misses by people basically using it as an excuse to cut someone up.

01:45 Renault Clio driver caused that issue by deciding to accelerate instead of easing up and letting bmw merge safely.
Imo they caused it even earlier than that. To me it looks like the BMW driver wanted to exit the roundabout on the left lane but the Clio driver pulled out preventing them from doing so.
I agree, the clio was also tailgating to close the gap on the BMW way before the merge, then tailgated the BMW afterwards. However, the BMW shouldn't brake check.
Agreed, should never have pulled out.
Bit of give and take. There were no issues there, the merge arrows were clear. Clio driver was being quite petty.
Clio driver initially at fault, but no excuse for the BMW driver's behaviour afterwards. If both pulled over by the Police, I'd say the Clio driver would have had a verbal warning, BMW driver could be looking at points on their license because their driving was verging on if not actually dangerous.
Regardless of " ... life's too short to ...", I don't feel that careless driving and bad manners shouldn't be rewarded. It only serves to add to their already overinflated sense of self importance!
Sometimes making them work for it is an enjoyable pastime on an otherwise boring journey ;)
Well done the ambulance driver at 5:40
2:55 - Glad the bully got pulled over. The caption was right - people should be pulled over for the minor things - they obviously did this purposely. They're so dumb they even open their door without checking their mirrors ... shame they didn't lose a door too.
#14 don’t you just love these self appointed traffic police, who think they know better than the Highway Code.
6:50 this boils my piss, I've been in the BMWs position and a big jag tried to police both lane preventing me from passing. I don't know why people thinks its against the code to use both lanes, maybe its just our queuing culture
It's called manners.
@@grahamtaylor6883 no, it's called not understanding the rules. A merge in turn is designed for two parallel lanes to fill up equally and orderly merging in a zipper fashion, one left one right. What's so difficult about it? Using only one lane makes the queue twice as long and the journey longer for everyone, which is poor manners
@@grahamtaylor6883 it's not manners. There are usually big signs saying 'use both lanes when queuing' and they're there for a reason. Extending the queue unnecessarily can cause junctions to be blocked and hold up people who don't even want to use the road with the queue. If people did the sensible thing and used both lanes, then no-one would be able to cut the queue anyway, would they?
@@Jaccayumitty Correct and I agree with you on that one. But the case in the video wasn't that. In an ideal world there'd be equal traffic in both lanes, but that's not what happens in reality. Anyone can see that in this example, it's just queue jumping. It's not illegal, it's just bad manners. So it should come as no surprise when people who are queuing get p'd off. Which is what happened. Plus the traffic moves faster as a single lane as there's no stop/starting to keep letting people in.
@@grahamtaylor6883 beginning to think you might be the cammer 🤣. I don't think anyone who's actually read the highway code has this kind of attitude. Please retake your test until you know what a zipper merge is and more importantly WHY we have them. Your attitude will cause delays to countless peoples journeys and it doesn't have to be like that. You could be a decent person instead, learn the rules, and follow them!
2:04 you're completely wrong with this comment. The Clio was at fault throughout. He pulled in front of the BMW and then didn't let him merge either. What happened after was childish, both idiots at that stage..
#8 is marked for no overtakes!
You judged the disabled man legally crossing at the corner, and not the jerk motorist trying to cheat their way past traffic on the curb lane? Many of your comments show a lack of understanding of pedestrian and cyclist right-of-way, and your dismissing of dangerous driver behaviors. It may be best to just let us watch the video, and save yourself the trouble of posting your commentary that NOBODY watches these videos for.
Stop cutting audio u can't monetize the clips anyway
At 3:43, I hope you were being sarcastic; that solid white line down the middle of the road means just that. If the registration of that idiot car can be read, that's one to hand to the police.
Not only Is the BMW (for once) doing the correct thing, but it is not anyones job to start enforcing the law regardless, don’t cause accidents / crashes for no reason. Saw a guy yesterday block someone who was flying up the hard shoulder. Yes they were in the wrong but don’t cause an accident by trying to enforce laws
3:40 Marking the road? Umm - there are re-merge and "no overtaking this direction" marks in the centre of the road! Besides that there is a blind bend approaching. No sane person overtakes on or just before a blind bend. Thats suicide.
whoosh
Annoys the f##k outta me when people take the action the cammer did in #14. Happens so often and not only is it stupid and dangerous but the reaction is against driver doing the right thing. Just because you've decided to sit in a queue and do the "polite" thing, doesn't mean everyone else has to. Also queueing early at a merge causes more jams than if both lanes are used fully to the merge.
Similar things happen at 2 lane merges after traffic lights, always see queues of cars in the left hand lane and a few in the outside. Causes so many traffic issues that could be avoided if both lanes were fully utilised
Hate to fall in to car stereotyping but as soon as I saw the Range Rover in Clip #6 I knew it was going to be the 'offender' in an incident.
In my experience it could equally have been a large Audi, BMW, Mercedes, or the latest 'entitled driver who likes to intimidate other road users' vehicle, a Ford Ranger. And the last in that list is by far the worst.
In the UK you 'Give Way' yielding is a wrong term to use, even in the USA.
@4:37 you can clearly see the guy who rear ended the cammer has his phone in his hand and appears to be looking at it against his steering wheel. I would have reported him to the Police and showed them this footage.
Not sure what black magic you used to come up with that. Looks to me like his head is up with his right hand on the top-centre of the wheel gripping on and his left hand is on the gearstick. The fact that he instantly ripped the handbrake after the hit also suggest his hand was down there in the gearstick/handbrake area. This is exactly what the car that got hit thought aswell after watching the footage.
Some good advice on driving here just calm down from an experienced road rage person on both sides I was attacked when young and became very aggressive learnt to chill now much happier in life
The Liverpool one was brilliant as the police saw it and stopped the thicko Range Rover lol. I live where that incident was in hunts cross Mackets lane junction.
#6 as someone who drives down here most days this happens a lot!
8:42 The whole situation could have been avoided if the Suzuki held back instead of closing the gap. Whether or not the van is in the right the Suzuki could have made it a non issue.
OR the van driver could have avoided the whole situation by merging behind, rather than deciding he has to go in front. Not sure why it's up to the car with priority to make things a non-issue...the van made things an issue
The music they’ve got playing on their radios just makes it more funny, because it contrasts with the mood of the angry drivers and the situation as a whole 😂
The guy in the mobile scooter probably said to his wife when he got home - "there is no traffic on the road today"!
Think you've slightly misread situation there. At 1:41, the Renault pulled a move that was rather debatable on the BMW, so I'm not surprised that BMW was keen to redress the balance. Renault driver was clearly "up for it", and tried to fend BMW off. What we are witnessing is two egos determined to have the last word on the matter at whatever cost.
I saw a mobility buggy cross two sets of traffic lights shewing green for fast traffic and then he proceeded down the main road despite a very wide pavement on his left. I had the dashcam unconnected...shucks! He got loudly hooted. My town must be mobility city...so many everywhere.
“Cretin”
“So sorry mate, my foot got stuck under the brake”
Don’t judge people.
Not sure if I'm missing a joke here... I'd say someone who gets their feet stuck under the brake is a cretin and his judgement was right.
@@doctorsatansrobot 😂
seems like "Yielding" or "giving way"....or "courtesy" don't play much of a role on britains streets and roads.....but plenty of "Don't EVER tell ME what to do"....yep....brits...
i know...i'm married to one....🙂
Dear #14. Go read the highway code. It says use all lanes. Traffic enforcement is not your job, and you are doing it at wrong time, in wrong place. Using both lanes, and doing a proper merge in turn halves the queue length, and is both quicker and safer for all. Numpty!
