That A6 driver wasnt winning prizes but i much rather deal with him than the yellow box blockers and that **** swerving in all the lanes in Mycroft H's clip.

Few from me over the last month.

Thought the last minute manoeuvre on the M50 was quite apt given that the Indiana Jones theme came on at that moment.
Anyone know what car is in the last clip? Cadillac I assume.

Looked like a tight squeeze this morning. Silver VW(?) nips in front of the maintenance truck whilst almost skirting the arse of the other one. Seemed unnecessary given the poor conditions.

I'm pretty sure it's a Chevrolet Impala pick up. I have never seen one of these before in my life. The Impala, yes, but not in pick up guise! It took me a few Google searches before I came to anything close to that.

It's also a right hand drive version, very rare to see US cars with RHD.

What would happen in situation like that? I know you are obviously supposed to give way to emergency vehicles but what if you misjudged / had your music a bit too loud etc.
Would you be liable for your own insurance or would the state have to cover it?
I would have thought that specially trained response drivers would be trained for ignorant people not giving way (either through lack of attention or lack of courtesy) so the state would be liable.

As far as I know the cops are at fault as they broke the red light.

Few bottles of wine in for the Christmas and you nearly lost them twice on the way home from the sounds of it!?

Aarrrrrggggghhhhh. I wanted to see the next bit

polan · 14-12-2016 11:23PM

No next bit unfortunately! The prick in the E39 reversed and went back the same way he came. The victim lost him.

Some FAQs about this clip:
- The victim drives a BMW 735i (E38)
- The perp had a warrant out for his arrest, so that's most likely why he did not stop
- The perp hasn't been found / arrested yet

Not sure what the rule is here but that clip is from Australia and you are correct. Police can proceed through a red light with caution and only if it is safe to do so.

no grey area here, the left lane at that junction is for left turns only. stupid road craft from the cyclist, and thats from a cyclist too

As someone who drives a lot and cycles a bit too, I would agree with you.

You're 100% right.

Personal safety first.

No idea why some people think different.

Sorry Mod person!

Plenty going on on the N81 this evening.
Poor lane change by the Honda. Keep an eye on the 2 Micra's at the right turn(may need to fullscreen), they attempt to go the wrong way, bonus points for the Mercedes skipping the queue and the complimentary red light breaker.

I didn't intend on multiple horn blows, the contacts must be a bit dodgy in the steering wheel and it does it sometimes.

Had to mount the curb to stop the second car from connecting. This junction is well known in Perth for cars turning right holding up traffic and normally has cars parked in the left lane right up to the lights
