After 46 years of driving around 25,000 miles a year I’ve learned none of these idiots are worth it. I would have cursed under my breath when he pulled out, and smugly reminded myself how much better I am at driving than him. I never flash headlights or sound horn in these situations. I’ve found it keeps me calm, is much better for my blood pressure, and avoids incidents likely to lead to road rage and me breaking the law as you did!
Well put - no bozo is worth your time of the day. If you have a job to go to and a home to come back to - none of these bozos will ever enter into my mind and my conscience. Quite rightly said - you went around the roundabout and a junction the wrong way and incriminated yourself - and if the law saw this video and caught up with you - you would be in for a min of £60 fine and 3 penalty points for each offence. Not worth it my friend - be cool - let them cut you up - swallow hard and go your way in peace.
@@wulfhere83 The thinking is thus : If you are a busy man with work to go to and a home to come back to - you don’t have time for bozos. You got in your car to go somewhere and do something - not get a bozo picking punches at you. As mentioned by many on the subject - life is too short to get involved with the love. If for instance some maniac is coming down the path with a machete - you might as well cross the road and walk on the other side of the pavement. No need to get yourself beheaded because you happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In a strange and probably inappropriate way, I find this hilarious. How much rage can one harbour in order to continue a chase about something so trivial. You nicely outsmarted him every time though and kept your cool. Admirable.
And you say that from the comfort of your Ikea sofa and your Poundstretcher end table in your comfortable 2 up 2 down... Now try keeping calm when this happens to you, remember no SWEAAAAAAAAAAATING allowed....
Having been chased and asked for a fight myself I sympathise, although I have learned these days that it is not worth the risk of someone carrying a knife or something worse, so I just bite my tongue and smile when I (regularly) see shit driving that pisses me off. I've learned that any flash of the lights or honk on the horn can set off a psycho - it's just not worth it, especially if you have a family who depend on you. Annoying to let people get away with bad driving, but at the end of the day it's better than getting you and/or your motor damaged for the sake of giving someone the finger or a flash of the lights
dingbat19 - Sounds like perfectly good advice. Be the bigger man and not allow yourself to be pulled into some halfwits drama Llama hour. Get home safe to those important to you as you are to them.
Grrrr, I do agree with you all, but then we’re letting these halfwits get away with bad driving un-contested. One day their luck will run out and they’ll be in a smash. I guess dashcam and sending the footage to police is an option, but what would they do? Nothing probably, sadly.
I agree, the worst thing you can do is to antagonize an already unhinged driver. To 'give chase' or as this driver did at the start of the video 'keep tabs' with the BMW was silly, they were exceeding the speed limit and in following and keeping up you put yourself and others at risk. Just let them go, they'll make a mistake by themselves without your help but you can report them and give the footage as evidence, as it is this footage show that you effectively taunted them and it wasn't long before their fuse blew and they decided they'd follow you. Far easier to just back of than risk your own footage being used against you.
The sad reality is that there are some real psychos out there driving who would think nothing of stabbing you and leaving you to bleed out on the side of the road if you do nothing more than flash them honk the horn at them. It's just not worth it in my book, as I said, and it would be downright irresponsible of me, as the father of two young kids, to be a vigilante in these situations. Maybe it took me until my 40s to realise this, and I admit when I was in my 20s I might have been more up for a tussle, but older and maybe just a bit wiser, I think differently now. I've seen what losing a parent does to young kids and it just aint worth it. And this is coming from someone who served and is trained in hand-to-hand combat BTW. I still wouldn't take the risk.
I had a very similar series of events just a few weeks ago , was chased for about 4 miles by the driver of a white van , after I came round a bend on a narrow country road to be confronted by him and another car parked , gave a toot before passing and that set him off . On coming into a built up area I slowed to 30mph because of pedestrians and cyclists , was passed and like your guy , this one stopped in middle of road and when I went past he kicked my car , then pursued for another mile or so before turning off . I returned to find he had resumed his clandestine meeting with the same car . I called the police to report it as a road rage incident , an officer came round later to view my front & rear dash cam footage - outcome he is being charged with RTA S2 dangerous driving . Can't say much more as has not yet been to court . Nor can I publish my footage before then .
You were lucky you were able to summon police and they came. In my experience ,your on your own out there! Looks like having both rear and front cameras is paying off. Good job.
Since i started to watch this , i have started school , leftm got my first job ,spent 50 years with the same company , married , had 3 children , 4 grandchildren and 1 great grand child , retired from work and at 134 years old the oldest person ever to live .I just checked the video and it still has 3 minutes left to run .
So sad to see him go at the video end. I was really starting to get to know him. I truly felt a special bond forming. Perhaps one day, I too will enjoy sharing the road with him.
marshmelllhiepler.Yeh,i agree,he seems just the sort of bloke you'd have a beer with and discuss the meaning of life.(or,in his case ,death)What could be nicer,a civilised chap poodling along in his very smart and impressive 20 year old BMW shitter minding his own business,taking care over his driving and being considerate to other road users.I think he's probably short sighted and didn't realise how close the camera car was,or how close he was driving.He was trying to stop the camera car to just apologise for his out of character behaviour,I'm sure if there was sound we would have heard him sobbing.I'm sure it's a complete misunderstanding,he's a nice bloke and buys his good ol' mum flowers every week,before going to church.(like most of those nice gentlemen who drive BMWs) Or,he could be the cunt we all know him to be! Shame as we could all have bonded with him!
Man I know how terrible this is. Being someone who was chased down country roads in the middle of nowhere. You never know what they are carrying or their intentions.
@@youwot2430 correct, you never know whats going through a disturbed persons mind when they are picking background music, ive heard horrendous things, just keep the vol down and ignore them its often the best way. I once provoked a pianist at an airport, my god, a story for another day…
I was a bus driver in Chelmsford and various other regions between 1994 and 1996. Before that I drove buses in London including the night bus. Regardless of the motor the person is driving I always liked to keep an idiot in front of me. I had a promise to myself that if an idiot came to grief in front of me I would not stop to help them. If it was a genuine accident I would help. If it was a complete prat behind the wheel I would not.
Mate, it's the perfect contrast to the big fucker stalking you. Played it off like he was all calm and had it under control....instead of a thrilling type of tune which would signify pant shitting and cowering like a bitch.
You played along with his game though, infuriating him more. Just don't react in an aggressive manner like you did. He may have been sat there for 10 mins so took his opportunity where he could. Not condoning his behaviour either but be the bigger man and let it go. I do 40-50k miles per year and I see all sorts like this. Let them get on with it I say, It'll catch up to him eventually...
so what happened at 1:35 then? He seems to have parked on the pavement, so I can't see he wanted to block you, did you beep him or shout at him or something? Before that, he'd just disappeared as you said - did you somehow choose to reignite things there? Oh yeah, as well. Like many CAM drivers, you speed up when you deem that someone else has done wrong, for a bit of drama. Maybe he was being aggressive pulling out like that, but maybe he'd been stuck there for ages. It wasn't dangerous, and you would only ever have rear-ended him if you weren't looking, so he threw the responsibility to slow down onto you - he only delayed you reaching the end of a row of cars by 1 second. I'd have just let him merge in.
Yeah thank god someone pointed it out. Yeah, the guy in the beemer was clearly an unemployed knob with temper issues coupled with a few screws loose in his head. But in the case of where the merge started, the Beemer was already half way past the merge. If the self righteous cammer slowed down instead of speeding up a bit (Which was Stupid), the beemer could’ve just merged in happily. Also it dosent help that the cammer also Beeped and flashed the beemer which obviously caused the drama in the first place, knowing the cammer should’ve have anticipated the car coming in at first and slowed down.
The driver that pulled out it wasn’t worth honking and flashing he didn’t hinder you that much if your get upset every time somebody pulls out get a life
As a class 1 driver I examined the footage carefully. In this day and age we need only use the horn or lights to warn other road users that you are approaching and not as a rebuke. Clearly here the hazard was seen well in advance, giving time to brake as it was clear that this driver was about to emerge. To flash and use the horn afterwards, is a rebuke and can only do to anger the driver. Hopefully this will be a lesson to you for future driving experiences.
That was the purpose of it. The abuse of the horn was the first road-rage incident, which was then escalated into a hazardous situation for other road users.
Spot on. The person being "chased" even sped up when seeing the bmw pulling out. Amazes me how people can't just adjust their speed when they see a hazard. Makes me wonder if a child stepped out would they maintain their speed, increase it...or do the sensible thing and apply some brakes. Class 1 here also👋🏻
Ronnie Pickering Hey Ronnie do you remember me? You came to our motel and gave me some frogspawn when I was 10 years old and mother made you a cheese sandwich and a glass of milk 🍼🍼🍼🍼🍪🍔🍪🍪🍪🍪🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
First mistake and an understandable one was flashing and sounding your horn, much better to mutter 'wanker' under your breath like everybody else. Second mistake, annoying choice of accompanying music. It's truly disturbing that there are people like this on the roads. He was in such a rush he had to pull out on you in the first instance, then clearly had all the time in the world with which to follow you. Psychologically challenged me thinks.
You are right Joe, the light flashing/horn sounding could be deemed confrontational, also there was a game of cat and mouse on the public highway, what if an innocent person was caught up on this?
@@rjhodgen2380 no it was letting him know he did something dangerous as some people don't realise how much they are "pulling out" on you and once beeped a few times would start waiting for a bigger gap. I'm sorry but the bimmer was totally in the wrong and cam car did absolutely nothing wrong! What your saying is like saying "if somebody pushed in front of you in a queue you are wrong if you say something" which is totally stupid
@@robertowen8281 watch again, the camera car speeds up (bonnet lifts) BMW had a reasonable gap especially as this was 'going home time' and could be all day waiting for both directions to be clear. Camera car is then agressive by honking and flashing. Massive overreaction from the BMW driver but the camera guy is no saint.
Never understood why people buy a dashcam if your only going to get a front cam? always get both! you clearly caught a guy who was having a really bad day or off his nut on drugs etc but should of called the police a lot sooner than try and shake him off doing dangerous things yourself.
I look at my speed when somebody 'pulls out in front of me' and more often than not, I'm over the speed limit usually by about 5mph so I let it go. How fast were you going when he 'pulled out in front of you' ? If you'd had let it go, it would have saved you a lot of aggravation
Yeah the guy's a tool, but also this is a great example of failure to de-escalate a conflict. Increases the risk of harm and violence, increases the share of responsibility - the preventing-him-overtaking is dangerous driving! And extremely reckless in a residential area.
Got to say your driving, observation and planning skills looked on point with that unhinged looney chasing you. It's easy to see what you should have done watching a video but I think you made all the right calls in the moment.

knotty Moose I particularly liked it where the knobber in the bimmer overtook him and then he casually turned right and left the bmw fuming all on its impotent little own 😂
Got to agree, there was some driving there that's not "textbook" but given the circumstances I think it was reasonable enough. Certainly not your everyday occurrence.
I feel the guy who pulled out did so safely but the pissed of cam car unnecessarily tooted his horn because they are the retard as well. All the guy in the chasing car wanted to do was educate the other driver about unnecessary tooting of their horn. Short of this a good smack in the head to the tooter would be a good measure.
Yes but most people, I.e those of a stable mind would, at most, flip the bird and carry on with their day. Yoy can't blame the cammer for this bmw guy having the emotional development of a toddler and throwing a tantrum because someone dared beep at him.

I’ve stopped reacting to people who pull out on me or perform stupid acts because of situations like this happening. It’s just not worth it, some people are mentally unstable and will chase you down even if they were in the wrong to start with.
I spent 15 years driving around Chelmsford as a cab driver and a schools driver and I know what 'pricks' there are on those streets. Well done mate, if only I had had a dash cam at the time 👍ps that's Baddow not Chelmsford.
If you'd have pressed the brake pedal instead of the horn, this whole debacle would have been avoided. You felt personally disrespected when there was nothing personal about it - the guy was going to pull out on whoever happened to be coming, and one day it'll result in a collision. Don't let it be with you :)
Both at fault though. Yes, DC driver should’ve stepped on the brake but the BMW’s action isn’t justified either. Couldn’t wait until the road is clear before turning, got honked at and has time to brake check and follow the DC car everywhere
WTF ?? We have every write to use the horn when someone fucks up . It happens . Most people would wave an apology and all done . This psycho needs removing from the road and indeed from society . One day he will pick on someone who do the removing for him .
Someone did that to me. It was great to watch their reaction as i stepped out my car as well. 6 foot 4 inches and 22 stone and they got back in to their car.
1. Reoport him via online police portal for dash cam footage. 2 get a rear cam 3. Turn down as many side roads as you can once he has lost you. If you stay on a long straight road he will find you easily as he did. If he has a licence which i doubt he should ne banned for dangerous driving . Charged with threats and criminal dmg.
android u must be that kdi round the bend who cant deal with fact and truth HAHA educate yourself on the road n if you come across the wrong person yourself after giving cheek then i hope you get what you deserve aswell and anyone that agrees with your back word mindset need a good slap, thats probably what your short of cause when you get one you might think twice in future about been clever HAHAHA good luck soft boy
This makes you realise that being angry and impatient whilst driving isn't a good idea, there is always someone angrier and more impatient than you! Well handled by the cammer.
I did not think he pulled out right in front of you,but nevertheless,these sort of people who suffer from road rage and are aggressive,should not be on the road,unless they have counselling,as they are dangerous.There is no such thing as a perfect driver.
Flashing etc when not right on top of the car pulling out is asking these types of driver to instigate this behavior.This happens all the time drivers pushing in at roundabouts etc let them go. Drive to a Police station that is open or a busy garage forecourt where there is cctv and plenty of witnesses .
Yeah, I only flash from a distance if I was travelling, er, quickly. And usually if the road is clear and someone pulls out on me and slows down I just overtake. Turns their stupid driving back on them.
Always wondered whether there should be a mental health component to the driving test. And having had to outwit similar lunatics myself, I've become convinced that anyone wanting to be in control of something weighing an average of 2.5t, and capable of going over 100mph, should be compelled to pay for a mental health assessment as part of the driving test.
Honking your horn flashing lights is just to let you know your there. but you could have just eased off! avoid it. anyhow should not provoke this behaviour from either of you. It comes down to acceptance and moving on. The BMW driver following for all that time this is just crazy driving on public roads like that Some people get into a car and become very complacent would it have taken someone to have been killed in order for this to stop.
I once had 4 guys chase me for about 30 miles down country lanes in the dark. We got to my house and I pulled into the yard . They stared shouting that I had cut them up on the motorway and got really aggressive, luckily my wife came out to see what all the noise was about and I told her to fetch my shotgun and then call the police. It was a good job it was dark as the "shotgun" was a 19th century musket that was hanging on the wall and not capable of firing.. The sight of it made them do a runner though.
No One, checking MOT and SORN status is something anyone can do online using the .gov website with just a registration number. I’d welcome anyone to show us how using that service is illegal. The only rat here is the one mouthing off about nonsense. Thanks for playing.
Well why would you flash and honk for such small issue ? There is no thing such as a perfect driver and there was certainly no need for flashing or honking
If I was you I wouldn't have honked him unless there was no car in front of you , in this case there was so you didn't really get slowed down too much and the guy pulling out did it in half descent safety manner ( because of the car who just passed by him going slow already ) You buddy should be thankful you are alive. You don't know what kind of idiot is behind the wheel or what weapons they have. Have a good day 😊
That's it dash cam man speed up as he pulled out, look for trouble, play cat and mouse, get a good brake check - good enough for you, now go and get a life...
He made a mistake at the beginning, poor judgement and timing. Why even bother tooting and flashing when hes already on the road and driving? Most people would just sigh, back off to leave a safe gap and move on. You continued to catch up to him then made a whole video with edits. You sir are the unstable one. It’s not that deep haha 😂
I've had a similar situation with somebody pulling out in front of me though I didnt flash them. I just had to brake to avoid hitting them. From that point on they were swerving backwards and forwards in front of me and doing emergency stops for no reason. The first opportunity I turned right to get rid of them and they couldn't follow me. I waited about a minute a 100 yards from the turning and then drove back onto the road they were on. I could see there were now about 8 cars ahead of me and they suddenly turned right off the road, I think to try and find me. I went past the turning and never saw them again. Best advice is to turn off and try and lose them. Doubling back behind them worked for me.
They say that an idiot is born every 30 seconds, they must of made an exception with this "good old BMW driver" who was at fault from the start. Even though this was a few years ago, I hope you past this video to the police as they would have a field day with his driving licence.
Option 1: I thought I saw it brandish a knife at one point... (when it opened it's car door)....then it thought better of it.."?". Consider reporting that.. even if it turns out it wasn't a knife later, the fact you thought it was could be enough"?" You understandably panicked.. The mind can play tricks on us all when under extreme duress etc.. Then if, or when police search it's vehicle who knows what they will find...knife, gun, drugs, illegally on the road whatever..? Option 2: Couldn't you of stayed in town and pull up somewhere causing the most attention possible and blocking the road.....plenty of witnesses (shoppers about) and or maybe even police around or someone will call them.. ? Option 3: Go to them.. drive to nearest police station.. it takes the wind right out of their ego sails.. usually.. Option 4: If it is driving behind you really close, brake.. hitting your car from that distance (really near) won't cause any major damage and it may be enough to blip it back down to reality? Probably on drugs to be carrying it on this much? Just a few options...I would try 2, then 3 or 4 and 1 if no other choice.. 5 as a last resort.. it's about a month or two at most from prison I reckon.. if this clip is genuine? A lot of losers around (these days especially) trying anything to get back inside.. (Prisons I mean.) Option 5: Wait for them to strike first (if you got an independent witness there (pedestrian etc) then baseball bat comes out.. claret (blood) and aspirin city please nurse.. Oh Matron!! What an utter cock Womble (Mr BMW) .. I lost patience with it much nearer the beginning of the video... If you cannot handle yourself then maybe consider signing up for self defence classes for confidence? These type of incidents will probably only increase and that Khan prat is decimating police numbers and claims to be rolling out the welcome mate for millions more of his primitive chums / bums.. I always try to calm a situation down first and see if they are willing to talk and reason it out.. With this one it was probably very cheesed off that every time it threw rocks at the moon it missed and it's forehead wasn't keeping all it's face dry? I mention all the above while assuming the BMW knob wasn't known to you and this footage wasn't rigged? No offence meant..
Rather a strange and long winded comment but yours is the first I've seen that recommends driving to the police station which I think would be the best course of action in a scenario like this so props for that
If you flash and horn someone over their driving, and they pull over, you should have the mettle to approach and communicate your criticism to them verbally.
The initial flashed lights and beep wasn’t necessary, just ease off and let him go, who hasn’t made an error of judgement whilst driving? Whilst I don’t condone the bmw drivers actions it’s seems completely disproportionate to what we see, leading me to believe that there’s more to this footage than meets the eye.
He drives a BMW. That isn't an error of judgement, albeit petty from the dashcammer, the BMW driver has the famous arrogance and twatyness which comes with a BMW. Despite them being one of the most overpriced and overrated car brands in the World.... He didn't expect to be flashed and have the horn pipped at him. His bmw ego couldn't take it. He thinks he's above other drivers doing that to him in his BMW and had to prove a point. Then ended up proving that he's actually a bit of a prat with anger problems driving round in his mid life crisis 2nd hand car.
@@jackd9928 I doubt a £500 3 series is over priced and certainly an old 318 really is not a midlife crisis car. . Newer cars can go to some peoples heads but my BM doesn't but I do drive a VW Golf half the time.

@@LiamBere I agree it's the driver not the car. But what a coincidence it is that every BMW driver seems to have this arrogance about them on the road. Yet you rarely see that with drivers of other cars. Audi drivers can be a similar type. I say a bmw is overrated because everyone who drives one seems to take on this rich man mentality when it actual fact...you can pick up a second hand BMW on virtually any budget. Unless it's a brand now top of the range very expensive BMW....there's a million BMWs on our roads that don't fall into that section. They may well be good reliable cars but...each to their own. The drivers just all seem to share a certain personality though. I'm sure they don't...thats just how it seems.
I hope he’s seen this and seen what bellend he is 😂 great driving by you every opportunity you managed to duck him. Which probably made him even angrier 😂
I can't be toying with immature IDIOT'S I have come to realise they aren't worth my time or raising my blood pressure,let them stroll on by like they are in their baby strollers. 👋🤟🤗
Not likely to, OP has enough on his dashcam to show 'exigent flight'...he also got a great shot of the licence plate, allowing the Police to charge the registered owner with reckless and dangerous driving, under the amended Road Traffic Act. The car could be impounded until the driver at the time comes forward and is identified. There is also a possible criminal charge that could be laid, but an 'ASBO' would definitely be applied in an effort to prevent future such lunacy!
I suggest you take the Institute of Motorists Advanced Driving Test. As part of the pre-test instruction, you would be advised not to honk your horn or flash your lights unless it was to warn other road users of your presence (i.e. never to 'tell someone off'). And as far as 'not letting him overtake' by driving all over the road, not only would that fail you on the test, it is probably illegal too. Calm down, drive gently, and when you see other drivers 'doing wrong' (pulling out of sideroads without much thought), simply shrug your shoulders, ease off the throttle, and smile. Too much tension, my friend, not good for you.
All the dash-cam guy had to do was slow down a little, and did not really need to honk or flash. He could see clearly from some distance what the other car was doing, if he was actually watching the road. You don't just drive blithely along a road, you anticipate what other motorists are doing, or might do, and make the necessary allowances/adjustments.
I pulled out on a roundabout once, I do make errors and I allow others to make them. The guy from the right accelerated so hard to try and get close instead of slowing down. I had a good car and easily made it, he nearly hit the kerb as he was trying so hard to just to miss me and make something of it. People seem to like agro? Happens when you overtake or pull out on junctions people try and accelerate so they can flash, beep and make hand gestures.
I've only has a similar thing happen once on the motorway, guy raging at me (can't remember why or who's fault) then about 5 minutes after it had ended I happened to drive into the same services he had gone to to fuel up he clocked me but didn't look twice once we were both in striking distance. I always remember that now when I feel myself getting wound up just needs a set of lights or standing traffic and you could be sat right next to each other dangerous at worst highly embarrassing at best😄
@@geofflindridge8113 You are the moron here. Getting angry so easily? I guess you're one of those who get involved in road rage on every occasion, right? And by your logic, you can kill someone during any overtaking, simply because you're driving on the other side of the road. No matter if it's totally empty or not.. huh?
The real villain here is the cammer who caught this on camera and apparently just fucking drove off without going after them and offering the footage to the car driver.
It's amazing how these nut cases are always in a rgeat hurry until they start brake checking and chasing people around so they suddenly have lots of time they didn't have before. get brush bars or nudge bars on your car. When they race past and stop in front of you so they can get out and have go, lock your doors, ease up to their car and pour on the power to push their car away in front of you. They'll soon get the message they need to get into their car before you wear out the brake pads on them or their car gets pushed out of the way.
It's hard to outrun anything but a pedestrian with a broken leg if you stay within the speed limit in an urban area. However, it's interesting how the BMW driver was in a hurry until he got angry, then he had all the time in the world.
From that footage all I can see is the dash cam driver driving down the middle of the road swerving in and out, taking junctions on the wrong side, running along a pavement with a pedestrian near by, Going round a roundabout the wrong way ie doing a u turn on it. Yes he did try and cut you up at a junction but by then it could be said by a half decent lawyer that your driving drove him to it. And there's no excuse for that sound track whatsoever.
Without even looking at the comments, I already know what most will be saying… That guy was a dick *but* you shouldn’t bother beeping or flashing your lights. Gotta agree with them 😂 Let Karma deal with bad drivers. They’ll get their comeuppance eventually.
Nothing wrong with him pulling out of the garage, you sped up! We can see the front of your bonnet lift. He’s a huge prick, without doubt, but you’re not blameless.
Could all have been avoided by letting off the accelerator, and applying the break. Your as at much fault as he is. As you were easily able to slow down.
I'd bet he has a whole string of driving violations and aggravated assault charges to his name. Always report them to the police - you might save someones life.
I feel for you. Glad you came out of it physically unscathed. Same thing happened to me in NYC area, on a Saturday or Sunday late morning, it was a long clear open stretch of country road He was in a canvas covered Suzuki type jeep doing about 20 in a 30, don’t think there was any over taking gaps on road but well in advance I signalled to let him know of my intention to pass. As I came along side him me on the opposite lane he yanked the swerved the jeep at me and also was hanging out of the open door for the next 40 minutes it was just like your video I blocked him from getting in front going through a large town and then when I got on to a major interstate Hiway he was trying to run me into ditch the only thing I could do was get right behind some poor woman who was up ahead of me and cling to her rear bumper to stop him getting at me , I scoured see her face in her rear view mirror he kept swerving at me The woman slowed down and of course I had to as well, all of the traffic was staying well back from the obviously dangerous situation, I made sure I never looked in his direction ( no eye contact). But he didn’t give up, I had to switch lanes to enter Connecticut ann n d had to break away from the cover of the lady in front…….. to be continued .

I remember the Jeep driver kept trying to get in front of me but settled once again to my side braking and accelerating, finally after catching eye contact he disappeared a bit anti climatic thank god. Going back to the beginning of the encounter, in my opinion he was out looking trouble, doing about 15( mph in a 30 on an open road, I gave him a long signal we’ll before I reached his jeep, this is one out of about four bad experiences, another one was a young MAN In a BMW once again on I 84 Connecticut, just the two of us in the road at that time and he was driving around me in left right back and front I was in a little Geo metro, anyway must like being a pedestrian gets mugged, shoved, abused and extorted, these things can randomly occur while driving, only see m s to happen when I’m alone, must happen a lot more to women and seniors ?
@@thenewertruth5745 : Fucking hell mate, you could've added a little bit more excitement into this.

@@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM 😂your right, there appeared to be some large pods in the back of the jeep, the driver didn’t seem to have any facial features, i could hear a woman whispering in an unknown language, then everything went into slow motion and these large black birds started circling the car and blocking out the light tapping their red beaks on the windows, everything came to a grinding 🛑
I had same thing happen to me some bloke in Green BMW chasing me. But being a cab driver i took him for a ride through 2 bus lane cameras lol...... A few days later a nice surprise on his doormat 😂😂😂
A good driver would’ve seen he was waiting to pull out, anticipated it, slowed down and hey maybe even been curtious and let them out rather than speeding up once you realise he’s coming across and start flashing/honking the horn giving it the big I am. He shouldn’t have retaliated and followed but you swerving all over the road and mounting pavements is by no means any less unnecessary and dangerous than anything the other driver did. Ever heard the saying people that live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones? Maybe take heed next time.

As a Briton, I can confirm that’s true.
After 46 years of driving around 25,000 miles a year I’ve learned none of these idiots are worth it. I would have cursed under my breath when he pulled out, and smugly reminded myself how much better I am at driving than him. I never flash headlights or sound horn in these situations. I’ve found it keeps me calm, is much better for my blood pressure, and avoids incidents likely to lead to road rage and me breaking the law as you did!
Well put - no bozo is worth your time of the day. If you have a job to go to and a home to come back to - none of these bozos will ever enter into my mind and my conscience. Quite rightly said - you went around the roundabout and a junction the wrong way and incriminated yourself - and if the law saw this video and caught up with you - you would be in for a min of £60 fine and 3 penalty points for each offence. Not worth it my friend - be cool - let them cut you up - swallow hard and go your way in peace.
True
An experienced man you are sir. Also, never make eye contact
I’ve only been driving for 5 years and I have enough sense to just let shit like this go and not escalate by using the horn etc
@@wulfhere83 The thinking is thus : If you are a busy man with work to go to and a home to come back to - you don’t have time for bozos. You got in your car to go somewhere and do something - not get a bozo picking punches at you. As mentioned by many on the subject - life is too short to get involved with the love. If for instance some maniac is coming down the path with a machete - you might as well cross the road and walk on the other side of the pavement. No need to get yourself beheaded because you happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Did you send this to police?
Having been chased and asked for a fight myself I sympathise, although I have learned these days that it is not worth the risk of someone carrying a knife or something worse, so I just bite my tongue and smile when I (regularly) see shit driving that pisses me off. I've learned that any flash of the lights or honk on the horn can set off a psycho - it's just not worth it, especially if you have a family who depend on you. Annoying to let people get away with bad driving, but at the end of the day it's better than getting you and/or your motor damaged for the sake of giving someone the finger or a flash of the lights
dingbat19 - Sounds like perfectly good advice. Be the bigger man and not allow yourself to be pulled into some halfwits drama Llama hour. Get home safe to those important to you as you are to them.
Completely agree a quick dab on the brakes no lights flashed , no horn pressed no drama
Grrrr, I do agree with you all, but then we’re letting these halfwits get away with bad driving un-contested. One day their luck will run out and they’ll be in a smash. I guess dashcam and sending the footage to police is an option, but what would they do? Nothing probably, sadly.
I agree, the worst thing you can do is to antagonize an already unhinged driver. To 'give chase' or as this driver did at the start of the video 'keep tabs' with the BMW was silly, they were exceeding the speed limit and in following and keeping up you put yourself and others at risk. Just let them go, they'll make a mistake by themselves without your help but you can report them and give the footage as evidence, as it is this footage show that you effectively taunted them and it wasn't long before their fuse blew and they decided they'd follow you.
Far easier to just back of than risk your own footage being used against you.
The sad reality is that there are some real psychos out there driving who would think nothing of stabbing you and leaving you to bleed out on the side of the road if you do nothing more than flash them honk the horn at them. It's just not worth it in my book, as I said, and it would be downright irresponsible of me, as the father of two young kids, to be a vigilante in these situations. Maybe it took me until my 40s to realise this, and I admit when I was in my 20s I might have been more up for a tussle, but older and maybe just a bit wiser, I think differently now. I've seen what losing a parent does to young kids and it just aint worth it. And this is coming from someone who served and is trained in hand-to-hand combat BTW. I still wouldn't take the risk.
I had a very similar series of events just a few weeks ago , was chased for about 4 miles by the driver of a white van , after I came round a bend on a narrow country road to be confronted by him and another car parked , gave a toot before passing and that set him off . On coming into a built up area I slowed to 30mph because of pedestrians and cyclists , was passed and like your guy , this one stopped in middle of road and when I went past he kicked my car , then pursued for another mile or so before turning off . I returned to find he had resumed his clandestine meeting with the same car .
I called the police to report it as a road rage incident , an officer came round later to view my front & rear dash cam footage - outcome he is being charged with RTA S2 dangerous driving . Can't say much more as has not yet been to court . Nor can I publish my footage before then .
Toot toot is too much hassle
You were lucky you were able to summon police and they came. In my experience

I was a bus driver in Chelmsford and various other regions between 1994 and 1996. Before that I drove buses in London including the night bus. Regardless of the motor the person is driving I always liked to keep an idiot in front of me. I had a promise to myself that if an idiot came to grief in front of me I would not stop to help them. If it was a genuine accident I would help. If it was a complete prat behind the wheel I would not.

Or on speed,like the Beemer bruiser.🤔
That’s why I never flash headlights or beep at idiot in such situations. He cut you off. Damage done. Don’t let it go further.
You played along with his game though, infuriating him more. Just don't react in an aggressive manner like you did. He may have been sat there for 10 mins so took his opportunity where he could. Not condoning his behaviour either but be the bigger man and let it go. I do 40-50k miles per year and I see all sorts like this. Let them get on with it I say, It'll catch up to him eventually...

He only wanted to alert you that your fog lights were on and to warn you there was no fog forecasted in the weather news.
Clearly that chap is a very busy hard-working man and an upstanding member of the community. A great and valued addition to Essex life
so what happened at 1:35 then? He seems to have parked on the pavement, so I can't see he wanted to block you, did you beep him or shout at him or something? Before that, he'd just disappeared as you said - did you somehow choose to reignite things there?
Oh yeah, as well. Like many CAM drivers, you speed up when you deem that someone else has done wrong, for a bit of drama. Maybe he was being aggressive pulling out like that, but maybe he'd been stuck there for ages. It wasn't dangerous, and you would only ever have rear-ended him if you weren't looking, so he threw the responsibility to slow down onto you - he only delayed you reaching the end of a row of cars by 1 second. I'd have just let him merge in.
Yeah thank god someone pointed it out.
Yeah, the guy in the beemer was clearly an unemployed knob with temper issues coupled with a few screws loose in his head. But in the case of where the merge started, the Beemer was already half way past the merge. If the self righteous cammer slowed down instead of speeding up a bit (Which was Stupid), the beemer could’ve just merged in happily. Also it dosent help that the cammer also Beeped and flashed the beemer which obviously caused the drama in the first place, knowing the cammer should’ve have anticipated the car coming in at first and slowed down.
The driver that pulled out it wasn’t worth honking and flashing he didn’t hinder you that much if your get upset every time somebody pulls out get a life
As a class 1 driver I examined the footage carefully. In this day and age we need only use the horn or lights to warn other road users that you are approaching and not as a rebuke. Clearly here the hazard was seen well in advance, giving time to brake as it was clear that this driver was about to emerge. To flash and use the horn afterwards, is a rebuke and can only do to anger the driver. Hopefully this will be a lesson to you for future driving experiences.
That was the purpose of it.
The abuse of the horn was the first road-rage incident, which was then escalated into a hazardous situation for other road users.
Spot on.
The person being "chased" even sped up when seeing the bmw pulling out.
Amazes me how people can't just adjust their speed when they see a hazard.
Makes me wonder if a child stepped out would they maintain their speed, increase it...or do the sensible thing and apply some brakes.
Class 1 here also👋🏻

First mistake and an understandable one was flashing and sounding your horn, much better to mutter 'wanker' under your breath like everybody else. Second mistake, annoying choice of accompanying music.
It's truly disturbing that there are people like this on the roads. He was in such a rush he had to pull out on you in the first instance, then clearly had all the time in the world with which to follow you. Psychologically challenged me thinks.
For some reason this comment has stuck in my mind while I'm driving..... I totally agree with you. Good advice.
You are right Joe, the light flashing/horn sounding could be deemed confrontational, also there was a game of cat and mouse on the public highway, what if an innocent person was caught up on this?
Exactly, the flash/horn was a rebuke, it's nobodys right to rebuke anyone on the road. The Beemer dude just reverted to type.
@@rjhodgen2380 no it was letting him know he did something dangerous as some people don't realise how much they are "pulling out" on you and once beeped a few times would start waiting for a bigger gap. I'm sorry but the bimmer was totally in the wrong and cam car did absolutely nothing wrong! What your saying is like saying "if somebody pushed in front of you in a queue you are wrong if you say something" which is totally stupid
@@robertowen8281 watch again, the camera car speeds up (bonnet lifts) BMW had a reasonable gap especially as this was 'going home time' and could be all day waiting for both directions to be clear. Camera car is then agressive by honking and flashing. Massive overreaction from the BMW driver but the camera guy is no saint.
Never understood why people buy a dashcam if your only going to get a front cam? always get both! you clearly caught a guy who was having a really bad day or off his nut on drugs etc but should of called the police a lot sooner than try and shake him off doing dangerous things yourself.
I look at my speed when somebody 'pulls out in front of me' and more often than not, I'm over the speed limit usually by about 5mph so I let it go. How fast were you going when he 'pulled out in front of you' ? If you'd had let it go, it would have saved you a lot of aggravation
Yeah the guy's a tool, but also this is a great example of failure to de-escalate a conflict. Increases the risk of harm and violence, increases the share of responsibility - the preventing-him-overtaking is dangerous driving! And extremely reckless in a residential area.
At the end of the day, don't start something that you can't finish.
Got to say your driving, observation and planning skills looked on point with that unhinged looney chasing you. It's easy to see what you should have done watching a video but I think you made all the right calls in the moment.

I particularly liked it where the knobber in the bimmer overtook him and then he casually turned right and left the bmw fuming all on its impotent little own 😂
Got to agree, there was some driving there that's not "textbook" but given the circumstances I think it was reasonable enough. Certainly not your everyday occurrence.
I feel the guy who pulled out did so safely but the pissed of cam car unnecessarily tooted his horn because they are the retard as well. All the guy in the chasing car wanted to do was educate the other driver about unnecessary tooting of their horn. Short of this a good smack in the head to the tooter would be a good measure.

If you'd have pressed the brake pedal instead of the horn, this whole debacle would have been avoided. You felt personally disrespected when there was nothing personal about it - the guy was going to pull out on whoever happened to be coming, and one day it'll result in a collision. Don't let it be with you :)
Very, very well said.
Both at fault though. Yes, DC driver should’ve stepped on the brake but the BMW’s action isn’t justified either. Couldn’t wait until the road is clear before turning, got honked at and has time to brake check and follow the DC car everywhere

I did not think he pulled out right in front of you,but nevertheless,these sort of people who suffer from road rage and are aggressive,should not be on the road,unless they have counselling,as they are dangerous.There is no such thing as a perfect driver.
He really did. He should have just waited.
Should have reported him to the police, anyway! This person is seriously deranged; should be locked away.
can’t you just like, wait two seconds and let him merge in? it shouldn’t be an issue if you’re paying attention to the context of the situation
Thank you!
You're trying to explain an extreme overreaction by questioning a trivial action.
That guy shouldn't be walking down the street, let alone drive.
Flashing etc when not right on top of the car pulling out is asking these types of driver to instigate this behavior.This happens all the time drivers pushing in at roundabouts etc let them go.
Drive to a Police station that is open or a busy garage forecourt where there is cctv and plenty of witnesses .
Yeah, I only flash from a distance if I was travelling, er, quickly. And usually if the road is clear and someone pulls out on me and slows down I just overtake. Turns their stupid driving back on them.
Always wondered whether there should be a mental health component to the driving test. And having had to outwit similar lunatics myself, I've become convinced that anyone wanting to be in control of something weighing an average of 2.5t, and capable of going over 100mph, should be compelled to pay for a mental health assessment as part of the driving test.
Honking your horn flashing lights is just to let you know your there. but you could have just eased off! avoid it. anyhow should not provoke this behaviour from either of you. It comes down to acceptance and moving on. The BMW driver following for all that time this is just crazy driving on public roads like that Some people get into a car and become very complacent would it have taken someone to have been killed in order for this to stop.
I once had 4 guys chase me for about 30 miles down country lanes in the dark. We got to my house and I pulled into the yard . They stared shouting that I had cut them up on the motorway and got really aggressive, luckily my wife came out to see what all the noise was about and I told her to fetch my shotgun and then call the police. It was a good job it was dark as the "shotgun" was a 19th century musket that was hanging on the wall and not capable of firing.. The sight of it made them do a runner though.

Well why would you flash and honk for such small issue ? There is no thing such as a perfect driver and there was certainly no need for flashing or honking
The guy is clearly a lunatic but this is a stunning display of cowardice from the cammer.
If I was you I wouldn't have honked him unless there was no car in front of you , in this case there was so you didn't really get slowed down too much and the guy pulling out did it in half descent safety manner ( because of the car who just passed by him going slow already ) You buddy should be thankful you are alive. You don't know what kind of idiot is behind the wheel or what weapons they have. Have a good day 😊
When I seen the driver at the end I thought, no wonder you ran. You knew you were getting battered after pissing him off 😆🤣😂🤣👌🏻
Definitely a nutter but there's 10 mins of my life I'm not getting back.
Why are people acting like nothing happened. It was a relatively eventful video
That's it dash cam man speed up as he pulled out, look for trouble, play cat and mouse, get a good brake check - good enough for you, now go and get a life...
He made a mistake at the beginning, poor judgement and timing. Why even bother tooting and flashing when hes already on the road and driving? Most people would just sigh, back off to leave a safe gap and move on. You continued to catch up to him then made a whole video with edits. You sir are the unstable one. It’s not that deep haha 😂
To be fair, there was plenty of time for him to pull out, you tried to antagonise him but it backfired
Amen
Seems like the initial road rage was when you flashed and honked him to trigger the whole thing....why can't we all just get along?
Quite right. "A smile is the shortest distance between two people".
I've had a similar situation with somebody pulling out in front of me though I didnt flash them. I just had to brake to avoid hitting them. From that point on they were swerving backwards and forwards in front of me and doing emergency stops for no reason. The first opportunity I turned right to get rid of them and they couldn't follow me. I waited about a minute a 100 yards from the turning and then drove back onto the road they were on. I could see there were now about 8 cars ahead of me and they suddenly turned right off the road, I think to try and find me. I went past the turning and never saw them again. Best advice is to turn off and try and lose them. Doubling back behind them worked for me.
Maybe when I'm retired I can finish this.
They say that an idiot is born every 30 seconds, they must of made an exception with this "good old BMW driver" who was at fault from the start. Even though this was a few years ago, I hope you past this video to the police as they would have a field day with his driving licence.
Nice to see so many cars in front of cam car actually indicating there intention too turn off !!
Option 1: I thought I saw it brandish a knife at one point... (when it opened it's car door)....then it thought better of it.."?". Consider reporting that.. even if it turns out it wasn't a knife later, the fact you thought it was could be enough"?" You understandably panicked.. The mind can play tricks on us all when under extreme duress etc.. Then if, or when police search it's vehicle who knows what they will find...knife, gun, drugs, illegally on the road whatever..?
Option 2: Couldn't you of stayed in town and pull up somewhere causing the most attention possible and blocking the road.....plenty of witnesses (shoppers about) and or maybe even police around or someone will call them.. ?
Option 3: Go to them.. drive to nearest police station.. it takes the wind right out of their ego sails.. usually..
Option 4: If it is driving behind you really close, brake.. hitting your car from that distance (really near) won't cause any major damage and it may be enough to blip it back down to reality? Probably on drugs to be carrying it on this much? Just a few options...I would try 2, then 3 or 4 and 1 if no other choice.. 5 as a last resort.. it's about a month or two at most from prison I reckon.. if this clip is genuine? A lot of losers around (these days especially) trying anything to get back inside.. (Prisons I mean.)
Option 5: Wait for them to strike first (if you got an independent witness there (pedestrian etc) then baseball bat comes out.. claret (blood) and aspirin city please nurse.. Oh Matron!!
What an utter cock Womble (Mr BMW) .. I lost patience with it much nearer the beginning of the video...
If you cannot handle yourself then maybe consider signing up for self defence classes for confidence?
These type of incidents will probably only increase and that Khan prat is decimating police numbers and claims to be rolling out the welcome mate for millions more of his primitive chums / bums..
I always try to calm a situation down first and see if they are willing to talk and reason it out.. With this one it was probably very cheesed off that every time it threw rocks at the moon it missed and it's forehead wasn't keeping all it's face dry?
I mention all the above while assuming the BMW knob wasn't known to you and this footage wasn't rigged? No offence meant..
Rather a strange and long winded comment but yours is the first I've seen that recommends driving to the police station which I think would be the best course of action in a scenario like this so props for that
@@TheTruthKiwi I will write what I like. You do the same. Your personal opinion is like water hitting rock. Makes no difference. Bonjour.
If you flash and horn someone over their driving, and they pull over, you should have the mettle to approach and communicate your criticism to them verbally.
The initial flashed lights and beep wasn’t necessary, just ease off and let him go, who hasn’t made an error of judgement whilst driving?
Whilst I don’t condone the bmw drivers actions it’s seems completely disproportionate to what we see, leading me to believe that there’s more to this footage than meets the eye.
He drives a BMW. That isn't an error of judgement, albeit petty from the dashcammer, the BMW driver has the famous arrogance and twatyness which comes with a BMW. Despite them being one of the most overpriced and overrated car brands in the World.... He didn't expect to be flashed and have the horn pipped at him. His bmw ego couldn't take it. He thinks he's above other drivers doing that to him in his BMW and had to prove a point. Then ended up proving that he's actually a bit of a prat with anger problems driving round in his mid life crisis 2nd hand car.
@@jackd9928 I doubt a £500 3 series is over priced and certainly an old 318 really is not a midlife crisis car. . Newer cars can go to some peoples heads but my BM doesn't but I do drive a VW Golf half the time.
@@jackd9928 Don't be a tit, Jack. Not all BMW drivers behave like that, and as for being overpriced and overrated, you're wrong on both counts. The most reliable car I've ever owned is a 3 series, and it cost less than you'd expect. It's the driver you should be pissed off with, not the brand of car.
@@LiamBere I agree it's the driver not the car. But what a coincidence it is that every BMW driver seems to have this arrogance about them on the road. Yet you rarely see that with drivers of other cars. Audi drivers can be a similar type. I say a bmw is overrated because everyone who drives one seems to take on this rich man mentality when it actual fact...you can pick up a second hand BMW on virtually any budget. Unless it's a brand now top of the range very expensive BMW....there's a million BMWs on our roads that don't fall into that section. They may well be good reliable cars but...each to their own. The drivers just all seem to share a certain personality though. I'm sure they don't...thats just how it seems.
Surely there have been off duty police that have been in similar scenarios. This is THE definition of hold my beer
Not sure about your choice of radio station. Even BBC Essex play better music than that.
Most soothing sound track for a nightmare drive home ,,,,,well done for staying in control ,,,,,love n peace Carl
I firmly believe the driving test should include a psychiatric evaluation!
I hope he’s seen this and seen what bellend he is 😂 great driving by you every opportunity you managed to duck him. Which probably made him even angrier 😂
I can't be toying with immature IDIOT'S I have come to realise they aren't worth my time or raising my blood pressure,let them stroll on by like they are in their baby strollers. 👋🤟🤗
Ever seen the film "Duel"?
Ha, I thought the same.
My favourite film of all time
There’s a level crossing at Wickford. This vids easily long enough to be able to drive there from Chelmsford
Three idiots here ... both drivers & me for watching this to the end
Did the police do you for going through the roundabout the wrong way 🤔
Amongst other things!
Not likely to, OP has enough on his dashcam to show 'exigent flight'...he also got a great shot of the licence plate, allowing the Police to charge the registered owner with reckless and dangerous driving, under the amended Road Traffic Act. The car could be impounded until the driver at the time comes forward and is identified. There is also a possible criminal charge that could be laid, but an 'ASBO' would definitely be applied in an effort to prevent future such lunacy!
Jeez, what a simple bad choice can lead to...
I suggest you take the Institute of Motorists Advanced Driving Test. As part of the pre-test instruction, you would be advised not to honk your horn or flash your lights unless it was to warn other road users of your presence (i.e. never to 'tell someone off'). And as far as 'not letting him overtake' by driving all over the road, not only would that fail you on the test, it is probably illegal too. Calm down, drive gently, and when you see other drivers 'doing wrong' (pulling out of sideroads without much thought), simply shrug your shoulders, ease off the throttle, and smile. Too much tension, my friend, not good for you.
Flashed and beeped to get their attention, then complained that they gave you their attention. Careful what you wish for
All the dash-cam guy had to do was slow down a little, and did not really need to honk or flash. He could see clearly from some distance what the other car was doing, if he was actually watching the road.
You don't just drive blithely along a road, you anticipate what other motorists are doing, or might do, and make the necessary allowances/adjustments.
I pulled out on a roundabout once, I do make errors and I allow others to make them. The guy from the right accelerated so hard to try and get close instead of slowing down. I had a good car and easily made it, he nearly hit the kerb as he was trying so hard to just to miss me and make something of it. People seem to like agro? Happens when you overtake or pull out on junctions people try and accelerate so they can flash, beep and make hand gestures.
I've only has a similar thing happen once on the motorway, guy raging at me (can't remember why or who's fault) then about 5 minutes after it had ended I happened to drive into the same services he had gone to to fuel up he clocked me but didn't look twice once we were both in striking distance. I always remember that now when I feel myself getting wound up just needs a set of lights or standing traffic and you could be sat right next to each other dangerous at worst highly embarrassing at best😄
I still don’t see what the problem was with just lifting off and letting him out.
Can't tell a BMW it's wrong.
Why did you drive so far out when the cars were parked on the road and why so early, you could have killed someone. Bad driving
KNG 811 well he got back to his side of the road well before cars in the opposite direction came near him
+James Evans yep, that makes ok......YOU FUCKING MORON !
@@geofflindridge8113 You are the moron here. Getting angry so easily?
I guess you're one of those who get involved in road rage on every occasion, right? And by your logic, you can kill someone during any overtaking, simply because you're driving on the other side of the road. No matter if it's totally empty or not.. huh?
The real villain here is the cammer who caught this on camera and apparently just fucking drove off without going after them and offering the footage to the car driver.
It's amazing how these nut cases are always in a rgeat hurry until they start brake checking and chasing people around so they suddenly have lots of time they didn't have before.
get brush bars or nudge bars on your car. When they race past and stop in front of you so they can get out and have go, lock your doors, ease up to their car and pour on the power to push their car away in front of you. They'll soon get the message they need to get into their car before you wear out the brake pads on them or their car gets pushed out of the way.
If his car couldn't out run a 20 year old BMW I doubt it could push one that's got the handbrake on :P
It's hard to outrun anything but a pedestrian with a broken leg if you stay within the speed limit in an urban area.
However, it's interesting how the BMW driver was in a hurry until he got angry, then he had all the time in the world.
I think he was impatient, not in a hurry, didn't want to wait for traffic to clear to join the road.
From that footage all I can see is the dash cam driver driving down the middle of the road swerving in and out, taking junctions on the wrong side, running along a pavement with a pedestrian near by, Going round a roundabout the wrong way ie doing a u turn on it. Yes he did try and cut you up at a junction but by then it could be said by a half decent lawyer that your driving drove him to it. And there's no excuse for that sound track whatsoever.
Without even looking at the comments, I already know what most will be saying…
That guy was a dick *but* you shouldn’t bother beeping or flashing your lights.
Gotta agree with them 😂
Let Karma deal with bad drivers. They’ll get their comeuppance eventually.
How do you beep your lights, that seems like a cool trick 😆😜
Nothing wrong with him pulling out of the garage, you sped up! We can see the front of your bonnet lift. He’s a huge prick, without doubt, but you’re not blameless.
Could all have been avoided by letting off the accelerator, and applying the break. Your as at much fault as he is. As you were easily able to slow down.
Classic road rage video with the happiest music I’ve ever heard 🤣
I'd bet he has a whole string of driving violations and aggravated assault charges to his name. Always report them to the police - you might save someones life.
Driving violations ? You bet? YOU assume. Look at the dash cam drivers driving. Driving violation evidence masked by "I'm doing nothing wrong music"
Really shocked to see that it was a BMW driver - they're normally such calm, considerate road users! 🙄
This ladies and gentlemen is why if planet earth ever gets invaded by aliens we are fucked.......!!
When he pulled out you sped up and drove right up behind him flashing your lights, there was plenty of time. He didn’t interrupt your driving
I feel for you. Glad you came out of it physically unscathed. Same thing happened to me in NYC area, on a Saturday or Sunday late morning, it was a long clear open stretch of country road He was in a canvas covered Suzuki type jeep doing about 20 in a 30, don’t think there was any over taking gaps on road but well in advance I signalled to let him know of my intention to pass. As I came along side him me on the opposite lane he yanked the swerved the jeep at me and also was hanging out of the open door for the next 40 minutes it was just like your video I blocked him from getting in front going through a large town and then when I got on to a major interstate Hiway he was trying to run me into ditch the only thing I could do was get right behind some poor woman who was up ahead of me and cling to her rear bumper to stop him getting at me , I scoured see her face in her rear view mirror he kept swerving at me The woman slowed down and of course I had to as well, all of the traffic was staying well back from the obviously dangerous situation, I made sure I never looked in his direction ( no eye contact). But he didn’t give up, I had to switch lanes to enter Connecticut ann n d had to break away from the cover of the lady in front…….. to be continued .
And...........
@@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM well…I came to a
@@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM and right the all the other traffic that had been staying back suddenly appeared and at the last second I had to break from the lady Drivers cover finding a space and re entered traffic going left she went on straight. I remember the Jeep driver kept trying to get in front of me but settled once again to my side braking and accelerating, finally after catching eye contact he disappeared a bit anti climatic thank god. Going back to the beginning of the encounter, in my opinion he was out looking trouble, doing about 15( mph in a 30 on an open road, I gave him a long signal we’ll before I reached his jeep, this is one out of about four bad experiences, another one was a young MAN In a BMW once again on I 84 Connecticut, just the two of us in the road at that time and he was driving around me in left right back and front I was in a little Geo metro, anyway must like being a pedestrian gets mugged, shoved, abused and extorted, these things can randomly occur while driving, only see m s to happen when I’m alone, must happen a lot more to women and seniors ?
@@thenewertruth5745 : Fucking hell mate, you could've added a little bit more excitement into this. I dunno, maybe like some sort of shootout, while you were both speeding down the highway and like all good stories, maybe throw in a gratuitous boob shot, from the lady you were behind, that's what made him lose control and crash into ball of flames.
"Never let the truth, get in the way of a good story" 😉
Nah seriously though, I'm glad you're OK, take care out there bro 👊 PEACE ✌
@@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM 😂your right, there appeared to be some large pods in the back of the jeep, the driver didn’t seem to have any facial features, i could hear a woman whispering in an unknown language, then everything went into slow motion and these large black birds started circling the car and blocking out the light tapping their red beaks on the windows, everything came to a grinding 🛑
I had same thing happen to me some bloke in Green BMW chasing me. But being a cab driver i took him for a ride through 2 bus lane cameras lol...... A few days later a nice surprise on his doormat 😂😂😂
😂😂😂👏
This guy was probably abused by his father. Explains his anger.
A good driver would’ve seen he was waiting to pull out, anticipated it, slowed down and hey maybe even been curtious and let them out rather than speeding up once you realise he’s coming across and start flashing/honking the horn giving it the big I am.
He shouldn’t have retaliated and followed but you swerving all over the road and mounting pavements is by no means any less unnecessary and dangerous than anything the other driver did.
Ever heard the saying people that live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones? Maybe take heed next time.
My thoughts exactly.
