@0:43 1)Drive as slow as possible in the outside lane. 2) Wait for the person behind to get impatient and undertake. 3) As soon as they try to undertake floor it and then hit the horn. 4) Send in your dash cam footage as a proud moment. 😂
1:58 the same. There is a person all the time right next to him, but slightly in front... he has the right of way, he can't speed up (and from the road code doesen't have to, since camera has to yield), because there is a car in front, which is already illegaly tailgated by the camera for no fucking reason and then the camera instead of braking and creating at least now the minimum distance he is required to give... full gas and horn. Please DASHFLIX - sond those videos as evidence to the police and never ever help those psychsopaths to get internet fame again!
yep, clearly tried to edit the clip down so you cant tell how slow he was going at the start, but at first he doesn't appear to be making any progress compared to the cars in the distance, then suddenly he's closing the distance. clearly accelerated.
@@stevewest4508 I was thinking that as sign says cam car had right of way.. I always thought if obstruction is on your side of the road, then give way to oncoming..
@@JustCallMeHorse I think it’s confusing to a lot of drivers who don’t read road signs. The cam car does have priority over oncoming vehicles as per the road sign and the give way markings on the opposite side of the road. The furniture is designed to slow down traffic. If it was a parked car or a bus, then the cammer would need to give way.
@@wozzer0987 I always read road signs and hold a clean licence for 28 years. Who ever put that road calming in place probably was a muppet and did it wrong like put the signs wrong way round.
he wasn't making progress, he was just lingering alongside the dash cam car. If you're going to merge in turn, get in front, don't pull alongside the car you're overtaking and stay there ffs
@@asensibleyoungman2978he had made progress and you can see every time he starts to make progress the cam car matches it. The clip also starts after the other car has already got ahead which screams the can car doesn't want us to see how he accelerates up. The fact the can car then slams the horn for a few hours to make his dramatic point kinda gives it away this was the cam car engineering a clip rather than just being over taken and not spitting their dummy out over it
When a dual carriageway merges into a single lane road,how about easing off the throttle pedal if another driver is overtaking??? Speeding up just to piss the overtaking driver off is dangerous and childish.Psychotic ego.
Not to mention one day they may piss off the wrong guy and find themselves resembling roadkill as a reward for the situation they deliberately instigated. The more of an "outraged" dashcam content creator one is, the more the odds increase of unitended consequences.
Your view of this is wild to say the least. The overtaking driver should have stayed behind, instead he overtook only a few feet ahead of the cam car, then cuts in at the end of the merge and then brake checks with kids in the boot. You’re on the wrong side here. Seat driver had ‘get in front’ mentality, despite then being stuck behind the van up the road. Should have stayed behind, end of.
@@otacon5648 Wild? LOL!! Yes sure,maybe the overtaking driver should have stayed behind,maybe King Harold should have avoided being shot in the eye by an arrow. All the dashcam car had to do was ease off the throttle and possibly brake lightly rather than maintain the same speed, or as in this case clearly shows, deliberately speed up to create a nasty situation. I somehow doubt the overtaking driver had kids in the boot either..........
As a professional driver of 35 years let me give my interpretation of this because the majority seem to be criticising the dash cam driver. There are signs along the road advising drivers that 2 lanes are merging into 1 lane. They're there for a reason. It baffles me why so many drivers leave it until the last minute to position themselves for lane changes. If you're overtaking, it's your priority to complete the overtake safely. You don't rely on other drivers to make your overtake safe. Why didn't the overtaking car get past the dash cam car? For some reason (and I see this all the time) he matched the dash cam driver's speed and lingered alongside. WHY? Either get past (he had room) or back off and pull in behind. The dash cam driver wasn't perfect. He should have eased off to make the situation safe but initial responsibility lies with the car driver making the overtake. If you can't complete your overtake without relying on other drivers to help you out, don't overtake
They were merging into lane of the cam car; the onus is on them to merge safely, which they obviously did not do. Cam car is in the right, despite being a bit of a self righteous prick at the same time.
@@itznathz9496 I agree, the dash cam driver was being petulant but let's not pretend the driver overtaking was blameless. Like the dash cam driver, I too get sick and tired of drivers who can't read the road, anticipate situations, drive to conditions and consider other drivers.
seems like quite a lot of these clips are made into events rather than non events by the cam car wanting to be "right" rather than safe. Edit: scratch that id only watched a few minutes, stands for the first few clips at least.
@@carlstyth8368 yeh but... he didn't "technically" do anything wrong... used the whole road space... too many people get the hump when they get passed in a merge situation.... but... the road was there.. you could used it... but didn't. so dont be mad I drive the M1 and A1 every day.. and find the same thing every day.. do I care... no.. do people get the hump when I use the available road.... Yes... Is it funny when they ring the office because they cant realistically block a 44 ton truck from merging correctly, Also yes, do me and the transport manager have a good laugh at the morons expense, also yes.
Why? At 2:01 the overtaking car had ample room to accelerate and make room for the merge but instead he matched the speed of the dash cam car and lingered alongside it. That was shit driving. You either accelerate or back off. You don't rely on the car you're overtaking to brake for you.

There's no need to complicate it beyond whichever vehicle is ahead at the merge point goes first, the cammer keeping the gas on to create a problem because their ego is bruised it's all that caused it.@@Renegade-g2w

the car overtaking was lingering. If you're going to merge in turn, get in front of the car you're passing. Don't pull alongside and expect the other driver to brake.
The car on the right cannot complete the overtake safely without cutting up the cam car, and has no safe braking distance to the vehicle in front. He has had plenty of advance notice that the dual carriageway is ending. The only place he could claim right of way is on a racetrack.
The overtaking car whilst having MBIF syndrome and having the spacial awarenes of a brick was keeping a safe distance to the car in front, which the Cammer wasn't, this isn't one of those clips where the 'other' car piles in late, it's still dual carraigeway when they pass and the cammer should have anticipated the narrowing and just eased off their accelerator.
0:45. Why did you put your foot down and close the gap. Yes the other vehicle shouldn’t have untaken, but driving like that and you will both need an undertaker. 2:00. So there was nothing behind you, ‘SO.’ They still had the right to merge in front of you, but ‘NO” you decided it was better to close the gap down and punish them with your Horn, they didn’t “Brake Check You,” they braked to get a safe distance between them and the caravan.
At 2:01 the overtaking car had ample room to accelerate and make room for the merge but instead he matched the speed of the dash cam car and lingered alongside it. That was shit driving. You either accelerate or back off. You don't rely on the car you're overtaking to brake for you.
@@asensibleyoungman2978 they may have had ample room to accelerate and merge, but the camer increased his speed and closed the gap down. The camer didn’t have to brake, he actually increased his speed to close the space down.
2:05 just let them in. Classic case of my right of way I am not moving. Merge in turns ends up with that kind of thing. The one where they are guessing the person is drink driving, people need to be careful making accusations you have no idea what the cause of the fight is.

0:43 and this is why you don't sit in lane 2 driving slower than the other traffic... funny how you found the accelerator when you wanted to close the gap though. 100% dashcammers fault.

1:04 - Not the dashcam driver's right of way at all. Traffic calming against him and should look ahead to read the road for things like oncoming traffic that has priority because of the road layout. 2:10 - The overriding rule on UK roads is "give way to the right". Understanding this rule and applying some road sense along with it makes for a more peaceful driving experience.
Nahh Adrenaline! Mercedes are Keyless. This is CHASTITY FREEDOM.......Black Top screaming at Passenger!! No intelligent Driver let's a Drunk "Sit in the Drivers Seat" 🤔🤔
Sign has big white arrow showing cam car does have priority over oncoming vehicles. Obstruction is on cam car’s side so ‘counter-intuitive’ here. ‘Traffic calming’ oxymoron?
@@zbf5h89ftb no there isn’t check the Highway Code, “The Highway Code do not give you the right of way in any circumstance, but they advise you when you should give way to others. Always give way if it can help to avoid an incident.”
1:03. I've never understood why they put blue priority signs on the same side as the obstruction! It's like giving priority to the vehicle which has parked cars on its side of the road!
It is and the intention might be, that there are for example 80% of the traffic participants coming from the direction without obstacle in their way - with this new right of way rule, the 20% of people don't have to stay all day there. This traffic oftenly might only come during rush hours, but it could be a potential very good reason.
You're supposed to anticipate traffic. The other driver should have calculated that he couldn't make the pinch point before the other car arrived so he should have slowed down and waited. Unfortunately these days most drivers think driving is a game of chicken. You sound like one of those drivers who cant estimate another driver's progress.
@@asensibleyoungman2978 no it’s simply how far away do you need to be to claim “priority” there’s some roads where you’d stop and never get going again if you take your view
I think the best bit about the clip at 1:48 is the tw@t who followed that undercover Police car not realising what it was and now has to sit there waiting his turn for a bollocking and ticket (hopefully)
The cyclist in the first clip should've just took the primary position ,that way the white van won't be tempted to go for the pass because there's space there.
Taking primary position at a traffic island doesn't stop the determined driver from getting through. They simply speed up and go into the hatched area in he middle and hook left, or go the wrong way round the island. You have to determine as a cyclist the safest option as the event unfolds.

@@asensibleyoungman2978 driving your way you’d never get anywhere, there’s got to be a common sense approach, that cammer car was too far away, it’s as simple as that, the other car coming through was there before him and went. Image that’s a busy road, what are you supposed to do, wait until the end of rush hour before you are allow to go through?? As soon as that car started coming through he had right of way, so the cammer should have stopped
@@bthorne180607 well, they don’t tend to put this type of measure on a busy road, so an unlikely scenario. Think the oncoming car was a bit of a prick personally.
105: these are traffic calming measures installed for safety and to discourage people from using Non Primary Network Routes as short cuts, it seemed it did exactly what it should have done, the only person who wasn't calm was you, the chicane is doing its job, getting frustrated will make you think of using an alternative route. Finally the Highway Code opens "The Highway Code do not give you the right of way in any circumstance, but they do advise you when you should give way to others. Always give way if it can help to avoid an incident."
How can there be no furthwr action for the white van on the cyclist? The zig zag markings mean no parking no overtaking. The stupid thing about it there was a big gap after the lights to overtake the bike
2:05 you could easily have eased off a bit and let the guy merge. He might be taking the piss, but that's the difference between being the better person and compounding the twattery on the road.
As an expat Londoner I laugh at the 'joys' of driving in the UK.Sorry! 1 bad weather 2 overcrowded roads 3 ..with ( too many) resultant aggressive, impatiemt drivers 4 seemingly omnipresent police and traffic cameras. Conclusion: Dashcams are the symptom of bad national driving conditions vis a vis Russia... Viva España!
Dunno why the bloke at 2.08 is whinging. He could see the car in lane two was obliged to merge yet sped up to prevent that trying to run the other driver into the pinch point. AND he got to stand on his horn in faux anger. I'm convinced fitting a dash cam in your car turns you into a petty wanker looking to create footage.
What's the cyclist's issue in the first video? What exactly was he expecting the police to do? I'm not from the UK, is there a law about overtaking cyclists?
Driving up the hard shoulder or under a red X should be an instant ban for a year then a retest, should have been introduced and well advertised before the introduction of smart motorways.
@2:00 the car on the right was in front before the merge in turn arrows, therefore it was his turn to merge when the arrows appeared. Cam car should have just eased off a touch instead of being a clown, speeding up and then thinking they were in the right.
1:00 Sorry Dascam driver, you do NOT have the "right of way"... because no-one has the right of way, ever! It's writted in the overview for Rules 103 - 158 in the Highway Code: "The rules in The Highway Code do not give you the right of way in any circumstance, but they advise you when you should give way to others. Always give way if it can help to avoid an incident." In this case, the other driver should have given way to the dashcam driver, because the dascam driver has 'priority'.
true, I have not had an MOT for 4 months and will not have one for another 2 months through no fault of my own but lack of MOT does not invalidate insurance but it makes it impossible to get VED for the car which means having to SORN it which is a pain and can be expensive having to buy another car with MOT in the meantime.
@@zbf5h89ftb Starting point is covid lockdown and exp growth in no mot's happened when the tories let supermarkets and utility companies take the pi55 but you might know that as the cost of living crisis.
@@george-ev1dq Having just dealt with this type of thing I can assure you that if you're driving with no MOT and you have an accident then YOUR insurance will invalidate any claim you make because your car was NOT roadworthy and was also illegally driven. If your car has no MOT it has no road tax either which will also invalidate your insurance cover, read the terms and conditions of your insurance, and if you have no MOT it is most certainly your fault because it's your responsibility to ensure the roadworthiness of your vehicle.
@@Holycurative9610 Not the case, anyone can drive without an MOT here in NI due to the MOT testing backlog as long as the test has been applied for, the insurance companies and the police are both aware of the situation so there is no problem driving without an MOT as the insurance is still valid , only problem is getting VED
At 2:10, it looked to me like he had plenty of time to get past you, I may be wrong but I think that you actually increased your speed when you could have just let him complete the overtake.
Not many clips warranted being put on here. As usual most of these are filmed by people who don't know how to drive in 2024. The best clip of the lot was the cow walking on the road. He made all the whinger clips seem so pointless. Well done to the cow.
@2:00 you closed the gap, because you didn't like the fact that they were trying to get in front. @3:46 why is it so many don't understand what the chevrons are for, and why we have them, driving too close is one of the most common things bad drivers do @5:12 definitely drunk or drugged up @7:05 a special kind of moron, to argue when they are clearly in the wrong.
1:20 I live 1 mile away from that roundabout and the traffic lights are awful. The ones on the roundabout to go to Silverlink are visible from A19 so they think they are for them.
If the lady assaulting the driver of the white car had been trying to stop a drink driver she would have been trying to get drivers of passing cars to stop and help.
That last clip is fair enough, surely it's illegal for this "go slow" convoy, whatever that is, to block all lanes of the motorway at a speed well below 70mph.
Yes Travelling well below the Speed limit is far more Dangerous than 30mph faster on a Motorway. 20MPH in a 30MPH is considered Overly cautious to a point of being a Hazard
How would you like things like generator sets manufactured in the Midlands to get to the docks to be shipped abroad? The A34 has special islands with gates across specially for this reason as the convoy is two lanes wide, sometimes wider requiring a team to go ahead and remove certain signage and replace it after. The sheer weight of the load wouldn't allow the third lane to be used to pass it, the height often restricts it to straddle the middle lane and overhang into lanes one and three.
1:58 just slow a little bit, let him merge, he’s in front of you. he’s going the same speed as you, he won’t slow down when he’s clearly in front of you

When you see all the traffic violations its either a BMW, AUDIO or RANGE ROVER it seems the people who drive these vehicles are cut from the same cloth ie idiots as they think they own the road and everyone has to get out of the way of them, no wonder the Insurance is high for these people they are bad drivers.
The person moaning about their ‘right of way’ at the start is themselves a very poor and potentially dangerous driver. They need to review and reflect on their own involvement in what happened. Poor attitude.
@@george-ev1dq of course not!! But the other driver was actually well on the way and the person we saw it from sped up as opposed to slowing down. If you consider the closing speeds and consider what the view was for the other driver. Our driver seemed to be going reasonably rapidly into the situation and didn’t slow down.
