Honestly.
Mudderagawd I knew a third was going to sneak in but in front? 😂
That's precisely what the yellow box is for?
Except for the third car, they made a mess of it.
Approaching Waterford
Not my video but seen on Reddit.
Hope the motorcyclist is OK but why on earth would you fly past heavy traffic at speed in a left turn only lane?
Because he's an idiot
Well, the reward for breaking so many rules is to break a similar number of bones!
Reading the comments, he seems to have got off lightly.
Idiotic from the rider, however zero plaudits for the driver too who clearly didn't look to see the lane was clear before proceeding.
He should look out for someone way over the speed limit in a lane that is left turn only - only one idiot in that video
They probably did look but you can't actually see when turning right across a lane of traffic. It's often an issue in a bike lane. By the time they can see the front of their car is in the way. Junction should probably have a yellow box so there's less cars where the cam car is.
Although it doesn't help your man was flying down. I'm always cautious when moving beside a slow or stopped lane of traffic in case someone darts out.
You should always look out, it's not a left turn only for buses, taxis and cyclists.
Yeah but they wouldn't be hurtling down the road at that speed
Yes, and the car turning right crossed over a solid line, driver should have moved forward and crossed behind the gold colour car at the broken line.
A cyclist could have been travelling fast in the left lane and met the same fate. Motor cyclist still stupid though riding like that.
He flew through a red light close enough
Crash on Ongar Distributor Road (not my video)
I was waiting to see if the lights were about to change to green then they got flattened. Did car on main road break a red light?
Whatever it did it looked like it was going way too fast!!! (Compared to the few cars that came from the same direction before it….
The speed limit is 60 around that junction and it certainly looked to be well in excess of that.
Certainly looks like he hammered it to make the lights.
and failed!
Always grates to see this kind of thing happening with a driver of a branded vehicle. If you're on FB, you might want to give the company a heads-up about the idiots they have driving for them;

Yes, you should give that drivers boss a headsup. The driver is making good progress there, his boss will hopefully appreciate the good haste.
And next week, he’ll be on the local radio complaining about how his motor insurance premium prices have gone through the roof “for no reason whatsoever”.
Why? I didn't see any incident. Changing lanes and undertaking in slow moving traffic is not illegal.
You might want to go back and study Rules of the Road again, and refresh your understanding of road markings, like the amber ones under the truck. Why do you think @JohnC. posted the video?
I'd suggest you stop driving until you get your own understanding up to the level of a competent driver.
Solid amber line indicates the edge of the carriageway. It doesn't say drivers cannot cross it.
Yes, it's a bit cheeky but fair play to him he's making time.
The suggestion of contacting his employer over this would end in the bin where it belongs.
A shoulder is not for driving on, except to come to a stop. Also no signalling either for using the roundabout or changing lanes.
It's not for driving on, except in very limited circumstances.
This isn't 'cheeky'. This is aggressive, pointless, queue skipping, that will most likely end up with the driver mixing again with the vehicles that he's just squeezed past in the next queue down the road. More seriously, it increases the chances of collisions, by driving where he's not supposed to be driving. There's a good chance that drivers who believe that they are on a single carriageway road may not be looking in their near side mirror when approaching the top of the roundabout, not expecting someone to be creating their own lane.
It's a dick move. Any employer who gives a toss about the insurance costs or reputation of their brand would want to know about this, and take action before disastrous consequences happen.
Terrible driving from the driver in the truck.
Why do posters constantly reply to the obvious troll?
