Wtf?

What are we missing here? Are we not seeing the extra 10 cars behind you that he overtook in one maneuver or this a pisstake?

Maybe Ghosty Mc Ghost could see loads of ghost cars on the opposite side of the road....

With that green bus, I actually think his driving is 100%.
I intentionally went through your fast-forward moment there frame by frame to see what was happening.
He was overtaking vehicles (including yourself) on middle lane, so that's why he was on most inside overtaking lane, and then moved to middle lane and kept overtaking vehicles in driving lane. While he finished overtaking them, he couldn't move to driving lane yet, as there was a slip-road entry to motorway, so never a good idea to change lanes by that in case someone tries to merge to motorway.
Once he passed that slipway, you were already on driving lane, undertaking him, so he again couldn't move left.

IMO absolutely 100% correct driving on his side.

BTW - at the beginning of the video what was that about school kids?

As the car in front nears them one kid tries to push another out into the road

I'm confused by that too. It wasn't a pedestrian crossing as far as I could see so there was no obligation on the car in front to let them cross?

Will he ever look left??

AAh thats alright so. Probably the op did'nt realise that taxi men are exempt from obeying the basic rules of the road

interesting fact; They're also all mostly exempt from having to possess basic driving skills.

Still waiting in Ghosty to tell us the craic with the idiot overtake.....

as I said earlier he overtook across a junction which is a dangerous thing to do, but the lines appear to allow it and the one sign is easily missed. I don't think he did anything else wrong.

Reported the N7 incident to TrafficWatch.
Not sure if they will follow up.
Mentioned I had it on DashCam but couldn't make out reg.

There's a lot of cameras on Gantries on those roads so maybe they caught something.

Sam Quentin · 03-10-2017 06:58PM

The Bus took a long time to stop I thought, did the Golf driver pull the handbrake or what?

inforfun · 04-10-2017 02:47PM

I dont know... 8 seconds in that bus is still doing 61 mph and at 13 seconds in he is standing still.
That isnt too bad, is it?
Well that Golf driver obviously thinks it was good enough.

frozenfrozen · 04-10-2017 02:51PM

looks like the golf is well able to drive after so it can't have been an engine seizing up unless he tried to downshift into 4th and put it into second.. wouldn't ever be able to find the link again or fast enough, but there was a video on here of a passat or something in america maybe trying to keep up with bikes and it ended when the girlfriend pulled the handbrake to make him stop speeding

Think he did very well, if that's his voice he was amazingly calm, also assume ABS as no tire roar or any sign of instability with the bus. Very good job. Would have been even nicer had he gotten moving and out of the middle lane with a bit more urgency.

Note that the truck driver in the left lane didn't seem to react at all, even when the car crossed from the right to left lanes in front of him/her.

There was another truck in lane 1 (you can see it at the end where he actually moved to the hard shoulder) so changing lanes might not have been an option.

Lanes changes like that are a common occurrence on the m50 so not really surprised the truck didn't react.

I just love the way he praises himself(well deserved).. "Hazards and everything boi" .:)
