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.
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?
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 🤣
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 !
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)
1:30 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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

#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.
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 😂
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.
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
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.
#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... 😉
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.
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!
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
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!
2:04 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..
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
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.
Your wrong mate. The red BMW driver is just jumping the queue. Should be in the correct lane by then. The signs usually start at least 800m out so plenty of time to get into the correct lane for the upcoming road works. He's just a chancer trying to get a little bit ahead of the queue.
@techheck3358 200 metres to go, and he hasn't joined the queue. Could have indicated to join the queue hundreds of yards back, but no etiquette shown, he is just a chancer who thinks he's more important than everyone else and tries to act tough when he's found out.
@@markhillier4256 going to the merge point with 2 lanes of traffic means traffic goes faster. you should learn the highway code Rule 134 You should follow the signs and road markings and get into the lane as directed. In congested road conditions do not change lanes unnecessarily. Merging in turn is recommended
@techheck3358 how is the traffic going to move faster when someone has to stop and let him in, when he could have joined further back and not create a bottle kneck. Who cares what the highway code says, which by the way doesn't give a definitive answer, it is down to individual interpretation, he's still a queue jumping idiot who thinks he's clever. I dont condone the blocking manoeuvre but that car was probably flying up the inside lane towards the merge point which is also reckless and classed as undertaking. Just have to agree to disagree on this.
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.
That video with the Range Rover in Liverpool that junction is a joe the amount of cars that go straight in the left turn only lane I am surprised there ain’t been an accident
I love the commentary on each clip and one of them gave me a question to ask: What is a pelican crossing? i've heard them called zebra crossings , is that the same thing?
@@projectbora ok well that makes no sense but thank you! What does that have to do with a pelican? lolz I really do appreciate you taking the time to answer my first question.
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!
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.
@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.
1:57, the driving skills shown by the Beemer driving God, are totally out of this world. I really do wish that other road users would realise that the BMW driver is not subject to the same rules and regulations as us mere humans. The other driver should be honoured that he was allowed to use the same part of the road as the Beemer.
The Beemer driver had the right-of-way. It's a merge-in-turn, and the other car pushed ahead to deliberately block the Beemer. That's what it says in the Highway Code.
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.
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.
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.
Why the fuck do people still not understand how merge lanes work. It's not queue jumping. It's faster for everyone if people use both lanes and merge 1in 1out.
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 agree on that last clip 8:08 that when I see someone that wants to change lane I help let them in. But there are times of course when there is traffic in one lane because of where it leads to and people think they can skip down a different lane and try force their way in at the last second. Those people do not get let in. Judging by the queue in this lane and not the other with other cars trying to get in further back I think that is the case here. So good on them for not letting the van bully its way through.
@ 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

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."

@@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.

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"
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.
#14 commentary i'm pleased to see! Ashley Neal would be proud. What a dangerous and disgraceful manoeuvre by the cammer.
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.
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.
totally agree. people shoul ding be checking for space then indicating and then manoeuvring . it’s so basic, how do people pass there driving tests?
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!
Get a life.
YEP ANOTHER ENTITLED PRATT IN A RANGE
You knew exactly what they were going to do as soon as they pulled up on the left in that clip. Do love a bit of karma 😂
#14 for once the BMW is right, it is illegal to straddle the white line at roadworks, read the Highway Code dash cam🙄🙄
I was gonna say this exact thing
Rare rare occurrence that a driver of such terrible car is right
2 lanes until the end where you merge
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.
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!
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.
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?
@@DraftySatyr That seems a bit of an over-reaction on your part.
@@Rroff2 The cammer looks like he is a professional truck driver so really ought to know the rules of the road.
@@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.
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
The cammer at #14 must have thought he was right which is so embarrassing 😂
Why would he have even submitted the clip - made any doubt he was in the wrong very clear.
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
@@quigglebert no you queue to the end in both lanes and merge in turn
@@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
@@quigglebert Would you do that if I was in a marked police car? Your causing an obstruction.
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.
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
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)
1:30 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.
Many thanks for posting. Good advice. Learnt again some stuff I’d forgotten.
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.
Great video clips, thanks for sharing 😁👍
2:52 cuts you off from wrong lane and then opens the door right as you pass by 🤦♂️
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.
7:15 : zipper merge = drive till the end and then zip , never block the road !
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.
Well done the ambulance driver at 5:40
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
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..
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.
Maybe the driver following the ambulance is a solicitor. 😄😄😄😄
And the ambulance driver just informed him that the patient was a homeless person.
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

#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.
In the UK you 'Give Way' yielding is a wrong term to use, even in the USA.
#6 as someone who drives down here most days this happens a lot!
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 😂
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.
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.
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
This not last weeks clips?
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.
Decided to get out of bed late? Yeah that's everyone else's problem!
#8 is marked for no overtakes!
Blocking a lane that is still open is illegal, the guy has 200 yards before he needs to filter into the traffic
#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... 😉
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.
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!
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
Shame the bmw driver didn't follow through with the road rage. Folk who block lanes need slapped
6:47. Hopefully the cammer has learnt his lesson.
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 ;)
I love the handy little expert hints after each clip….”this is why you should look before crossing the road.” Do you mind if I make a note of them?
Stop cutting audio u can't monetize the clips anyway
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...
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..
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
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.
4:03 love that sentiment. Will be using it next time
The guy in the mobile scooter probably said to his wife when he got home - "there is no traffic on the road today"!
4:58 the irony. That pedestrian got lucky!
Your wrong mate. The red BMW driver is just jumping the queue. Should be in the correct lane by then. The signs usually start at least 800m out so plenty of time to get into the correct lane for the upcoming road works. He's just a chancer trying to get a little bit ahead of the queue.
For high speed traffic. For slow moving traffic you should merge in turn at the point of constriction
@techheck3358 200 metres to go, and he hasn't joined the queue. Could have indicated to join the queue hundreds of yards back, but no etiquette shown, he is just a chancer who thinks he's more important than everyone else and tries to act tough when he's found out.
@@markhillier4256 going to the merge point with 2 lanes of traffic means traffic goes faster. you should learn the highway code
Rule 134
You should follow the signs and road markings and get into the lane as directed. In congested road conditions do not change lanes unnecessarily. Merging in turn is recommended
@techheck3358 how is the traffic going to move faster when someone has to stop and let him in, when he could have joined further back and not create a bottle kneck. Who cares what the highway code says, which by the way doesn't give a definitive answer, it is down to individual interpretation, he's still a queue jumping idiot who thinks he's clever. I dont condone the blocking manoeuvre but that car was probably flying up the inside lane towards the merge point which is also reckless and classed as undertaking. Just have to agree to disagree on this.
@4:32 "Shitting Peugeot!" 😆
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.

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!
BT10 OKV is a dangerous driver!
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.
@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.
1:57, the driving skills shown by the Beemer driving God, are totally out of this world. I really do wish that other road users would realise that the BMW driver is not subject to the same rules and regulations as us mere humans. The other driver should be honoured that he was allowed to use the same part of the road as the Beemer.
The Beemer driver had the right-of-way. It's a merge-in-turn, and the other car pushed ahead to deliberately block the Beemer. That's what it says in the Highway Code.
@@fredmercury1314 True but still no excuse for the subsequent behaviour
@@simonavarne9635 I agree totally.
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.
Wow Now That’s How I call Anger Management Issues, 😦😟
02:20 when you know which driver is about to do something stupid
Still waiting for the rage? At what point in the vid does them start?
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.
@4:55 That person definitely 'Got lucky'

#14 don’t you just love these self appointed traffic police, who think they know better than the Highway Code.
#14 People like the cammer should automatically lose their licence for 6 months for this.
Number #14 🤣🤣🤣
#14 - why is the camera blocking both lanes. If the cars queued in both lanes the queue would be shorter and people couldn't queue jump.
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.
The driver of BMW LD12RMV is a sad little inadequate with anger management issues.
Why the fuck do people still not understand how merge lanes work. It's not queue jumping. It's faster for everyone if people use both lanes and merge 1in 1out.
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".
Ahhhh.....little Britain, too many people, too little real estate.
I agree on that last clip 8:08 that when I see someone that wants to change lane I help let them in. But there are times of course when there is traffic in one lane because of where it leads to and people think they can skip down a different lane and try force their way in at the last second. Those people do not get let in. Judging by the queue in this lane and not the other with other cars trying to get in further back I think that is the case here. So good on them for not letting the van bully its way through.
@ 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
