There's the law and there's common sense, "illegal" as it may be. Cammer had kept a reasonable spacing for a good bit of the video until he realised that failing to intervene would be more dangerous for potentially 3 cars than intervention between 2.

Lets see how this new media insert button works...
Dont know what was going on here
Did we ever get this one posted?
That was entertaining for sure - the Devon/Cornwall accent made it more so
the voiceovers are very cringey!
I reported it to YouTube for racism.
What sd cards do ye use in your dash cams
Used to be an awful lot of fakes around so I bought the Nextbase branded ones. Been very reliable for me.
Video is from my car, but I was actually driving the car in front. It's a 2007 Corsa, so I would have been lucky to live had this idiot no reacted in time.
This is my kick to buy a 4K Dashcam. Way too much noise in this to capture a reg. I hope he doesn't go on to kill someone.
Happened this evening on way hime from work ! So lucky the jeep at the junction didn’t turn out on seeing nothing coming to their right as the car over taking me at the crossroads as I turned left would of been almost undetectable to them !!
Goes to show how little these clowns care about anyone but themselves. The side roads in my estate are narrow so anyone coming off the main road has to let the car out before they can turn in and people often go around them. A large number of people overtake as I'm slowing down to turn onto my road. Only a matter of time before someone crashes into me as I'm pulling out.
If that jeep pulled out without looking, he would have been the one at fault. You are supposed to look LEFT and right.
Yeah, it's called looking where you are going, shocking just how many only look to see if there is no traffic coming from the right.
I thought the centre line was solid at either side of junctions on all roads?
You're also not supposed to overtake opposite a junction though.
Where is that information located in the Rules of the Road ?
Although true, its rarely done by anyone. At the speeds shown, it would be something of a miracle for the passenger in the jeep to survive that impact had it occurred. Common sense should tell you not to overtake at a junction.

Nice one, pity I hadn’t got that the last time I was dealing with the Gardai, to cut a long story short I’ve watched a guy nearly everyday for over a year hammer up my local 50kmph road, I’m usually out running or walking and he uses the ramps as a high speed overtaking opportunity- the ramps also happen to be at junctions and for good reason.
On the holidays my routine changed and I was in the car at the time this lad was flying, caught him overtaking a school bus flat out over the ramps at a junction and on a bend, dash cam got it perfectly front and rear.
Brought it to the Gardai and in fairness they summonsed him for dangerous driving-
Another fast regional road near me had a solid white line through all the spots with junctions and bad sight lines- when the road was resurfaced the line markers doing the road just put down broken white lines making overtaking a free for all, Meath County Council never got back when I queried it- the road safety guy in MCC actually told me it was nothing to do with him, the road is full of grave markers. Thanks for the info and clarification.
Some crazy stuff in this one.
Good to see they've dropped all the "roundabout pull outs" where the dash cam driver is racing in.
So this crashmagnet decides to stop instead of merging! What you don't see in the video is the Artic in lane one that we are merging in front of, there was plenty of room to safely merge but with this one stopping it became a bit trickier.
You got lucky. That’s a L driver without the plates. I was sure they were going to pull out into lane. I hate meeting indecisive people merging. I wouldn’t have come out and merge ahead of them in the same lane. Asking for a crash. Cheers for the video anyway.
They were stopping! as it was, I had to boot it otherwise the lorry in lane one or the car following me would have rear ended me.
Yes there was a real risk that they could have swerved into lane one, but at the speed they were going the lorry would have hit them.
Were they stopping or just slowing to apprise the situation of a car on a narrow hard shoulder, when impatience struck?
