At a guess, the UK.

1. Ireland has a yellow divider line between breakdown lane and driving lane.
2. Ireland has those green left-right markers at the begining of slip lanes.
3. Don't think there's too many of those electronic signs in Ireland yet.

I would imagine it's not Ireland - by virtue of the police doing their job and pulling over a lane hogger.

Not Ireland. Police car markings, road signage etc are different. Looks like the M62 near Castleford/Pontefract.

Entertaining commentary. What's the Hiberno-English for fookin knob-'ead?

"Richard" Head. Presumably the lane-hogger's name.

If you listen from 01:08, the charming man is clearly conversing with somebody. Judging by the absence of a third parties voice, one can assume he was doing so by means of mobile telephone.

could he be speaking on a CB style radio to a truck behind his or something? would make much more sense than commentating down the phone to someone who cant see the event.

or perhaps he has a co worker in the cab with him, who has to listen to that same fat excitable prick giving blow by blow commentary on the traffic every night of his working career and is so sick of it he just doesnt reply anymore.

We are probably deviating away from the initial topic however both of those reasonable explanations are somewhat diminished by the fact that nobody else can be heard speak.

Listen, I've picked my phone up when driving as I am sure we all have so frankly don't care less if he did or not. I just find it funny that this gentleman use such colourful language whilst he himself by all probabilities, is breaking the law himself.

In saying that, he could well have an ear piece in.

Guy is probably just giving a running commentary so he can post the clip on the net later.

Most likely he is on a bluetooth earpiece.

He has a few more uploaded as well, priceless stuff!!

Jesus, what a sad bastard recording that and laughing at it. Some people really need to get a life.

Did he/she really try and stop in the fast lane?

Are you being serious? He's a "bastard" for using a dash cam and exposing an act of horrendous driving and road rage to another vehicle that turns out to be the authorities?

Watch the video again.

How is he 'exposing' it? Everyone knows it happens.

everybody doesn't post it on youtube though.

but those that do get posted on youtube, you'l agree i'm sure get far more "exposure"

He's exposing the driver on this particular occasion. Of course it happens all the time but that's irrelevant. Are you claiming that when anything is exposed, the subject in question has never occurred before?

Yes, I watched it again. What do I do now?

Was it you driving?

It's just some fella driving a car somewhere....so what. Who cares what 'lane' he is in? Who cares?

This fella laughing his ass off....the satisfaction he gets from it is desperately sad. He should be getting that from playing in the park with his children or in bed with his missus, not laughing at some bloke getting stopped on a motorway.

It's pathetic.

Go back and edit your post where you asked 'Did he/she really try and stop in the fast lane?'? Because that's the question I answered.

How is he exposing the driver? Does the video show who the driver is? No, it doesn't. See my welcome below.

How come no one notice that truck drive eventually broke the law by undertaking.

your clearly not a heavy road user.

i was a long distance commuter last year and theres nothing worse than mister 95km/h with nowhere to be in the overtaking lane when theres somewhere you've got to be.

i can see how from a professional drivers point of view, someone who spends a good percentage of their life on the road with deadlines to meet could get awfully frustrated dealing with overtaking lane hogs on a not daily but i'd say hourly basis. the satisfaction he would get from seeing one get their cuomeuppance would be more moreso than you or i.

well it was either undertake or start a viscious circle of going slower than the slow driver going slow in the overtaking lane. which would eventually bring the motorway to a stop i'd asume.

Welcome to Boards.

No thank you. I don't feel the need to edit my post. You didn't answer my question, you simply suggested I re-watch the video.

He exposed him by uploading the video. Granted it doesn't state who the culprit was but you know what I mean...or are you just picking at everything I say because you don't like my opinion?

Thank you for the welcome but I'm suspicious it's some kind of riddle.

the very first road sign on the left seems to indicate the next exit is 1km

if so, not uk or mainland europe due do the side of the road being driven on
