The cyclist is slow, but not slow enough to overtake safely.

But there is also traffic ahead so it would get them no where anyway. You can clearly see the accordion affect of the speed bumps, cyclist continues at an ave of (I guess ~25kmph) cars speed up and slow down for speed bumps, half the time there isn't even a car length between bike + car.

People aren't trained to look far enough ahead and read the road so only fixate on the obstacles close by such as parked car, cyclists etc....

If they read the road then they would notice the lights or traffic ahead making the pass absolutely pointless.

Some drivers have a complete inability to look ahead of traffic.

There was a van ahead of the cyclist and time taken for that journey without the cyclist would be exactly the same.

Only this evening driving up Mobhi road came up behind a cyclist so I slowed down and didn't overtake. The lighs at the top went red.

Even though I had the opportunity to overtake the cyclist, i didn't. Whats was the point.

Person in a mini behind me wasn't not very happy kept flashing me.

The road opens up close to the top and I overtake as thd light goes green. We both turn left where the road splits into two lanes, mini driver floors it overtaking me only to come next to a set of red lights.

The smash into the barrier at the end makes it even better

What'll happen there? Sounds like it's Dutch?

Video features at least one Tesla = definitely Dutch.

I never understand the logic behind brake testing a large heavy truck. 10 times out of 10 it's only going to end one way.

Never understood this whole brake testing lark anyway..

Depending on the laws in that country it could work out best for the car.

Anyone that brake checks should be banned from driving, indefinitely. No exceptions.

It looks like a Tesla Model S, but also looks like it has an exhaust pipe

Where someone is caught break checking on dash cam they should be the ones found at fault.

M50 Rush hour during lockdown (actually 5.50pm, forgot to reset the cam clock).

You're in the wrong lane there, blade.
It's the M50, so you should out in the fast lane.
At the very least in the middle lane.

Sure enough, there was a BM a fair bit back from me, sitting in the outside lane, looking very lonely, sat there (at a distance) all the way to my exit and beyond.

Every time I see cars like that in the outside lane of a fairly quiet motorway, I always have Paul Simon singing to me in my head;

"Hello Darkness my old Friend"

I know videos will be thin on the ground for a while but the 2nd half of that could have been uploaded as a separate video. Cam driver sitting in the overtaking lane of the m50 for 3 minutes is boring.

Whoever does them seem to have aspirations towards something entirely more artistic.
I don't quite know if the ability matches the ambition, but keep it up! I have already watched all of the internet at this stage anyway

Forget about that. I'd say the music used in the first half is the greatest crime - far worse that any of the driving issues.
