0:36 you actually didn't even leave a one-second gap! Could you have stopped safely if the driver in front braked sharply? I don't think so - and nor were you driving at a speed at which you could stop well within the distance you could see was clear. Remember the two-second rule!
You need to not comment unless you have all the facts. You make yourself sound holier than thou and a bit silly. Without knowing where the cam car, or indeed the van was prior to the start of the video, you don’t have all the facts in order to give an educated view of the situation.
@@Learnerslancashire Was this not your video? The only situation I can understand why they were so close is if the van driver cut in after overtaking. Can you explain if this is what happened? Please don't say things like 'you make yourself sound holier than thou and a bit silly' as I'm not personally involved in this.
@@QiuEnnan well you are as you decided to comment. I was catching the van up as I was in lane 1 which is why I wanted to go to lane 3. The speed of the approaching car in lane 4 was such that it was safer to delay my move into 3.
@@QiuEnnanit’s also sensible to use your judgement when operating a vehicle. Being marginally closer to the vehicle in front of you for a short amount of time is preferable to switching lanes putting yourself within touching distance of a vehicle travelling in excess of 100 mph. Suppose you strictly stick to the HC and switch to lane 3, the car at speed has a blowout or loses control. You’re a passenger in an accident you could’ve avoided. It’s important to weigh up the risks and make decisions in and of the moment.
The transit crosses over the white line to get to the red light. White line is very worn and it is a wide road, but the point is that he bullied a learner for no reason.
You're looking ant this with the benefit of hindsight, when you're driving you need to make a split second decision. That said, I still firmly believe that what I did was correct and safe, rather than affect all the vehicles behind. It just goes to show what carnage a couple of fast speeding cars can create even without knowing it.@@QiuEnnan
@@Learnerslancashire You did do the right thing by not changing lanes, and I get that you didn't have the time to think properly. But I still think you could've held back a bit from the vehicle in front. Maybe you couldn't - I don't know. But yes, that kind of speeding is absolutely unacceptable.
