    What's the erratic driving here that causes the guy to get out of his car?

    It doesn't look like he was rear ended or anything.

    Pushing across from the other lane? Or wrong side of the lane?

    Enjoy everyone (at least to those who just want to see said videos)

    The tractor driving past with the burning mountain of hay on the back is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. :D

    Indeed, pity the tractor wasn't following the van with the water cooler bottles, he could have extinguished the fire on the spot.

    I always enjoy the contrast on the Russian vids between the decent (Western) cars and the old Skoda/Lada cold war wrecks, which have no safety features, no rubber on the tyres and generally oul fella drivers who haven't a clue.

    I particularly enjoyed the exploding illuminating airbag (about 3:50) and the nodding dog on the dashboard who really seemed to shirk away from the crash later on in the vid.

    There are two ways, either add the time you want e.g. "&t=1m1s" to the end of the address or go to the "Share" button, check the box "start at" and add in the time

    I can definitely see an undertaker being involved in that driver's future.

    I wouldn't call that dangerous but it doesn't make it right.
    You'd imagine if there were two centre lines, their side would have been broken at that point. But yes, it doesn't make it right that they were overtaking!

    They overtook on broken white lines, was a bit tight but seems grand to me.

    I bet if you look up that location on Google maps you will see that the overtake took place before the broken white line.

    Sure you can tell from the video that it did.

    @16 seconds clearly shows continuous white line

    This white line thing is all pointless. Markings in this country are a free for all. There are dotted white lines around blind bends, continuous lines along straights without any reason (like in that last clip). It's all based on the random engineer's opinion in that specific area.

    Started overtake on solid and finished it on broken. Dry day. Good visibility. Straight road. A bit tight but it seems fine to me.

    Take a look at this goon of a woman. Reverses into another car, all on a busy high street and drives off.

    I went back to the Astra, passenger was back then and i left my details, we looked at the bumper and it had been pushed out of place and scratched too.

    On a side note, I can't help but laugh everytime at the Yaris nipping in and stealing her spot, she was raging! :D

    Guess who is denying she reversed into someones car?

    Astra driver since rang me and got the video, driver is now aware of the evidence and is set to pay up. :p

    We must be looking at different videos. I see a car overtaking on a solid white line coming out of a bend, and completing the manoeuvre almost perfectly at the point where the first broken line begins and overtaking is allowed.

    It is Definitely on a solid white line, i am a bit concerned by some boardsie's attitude to the single white line, ah it's grand is a bit of an Irish reaction,
    That learner in the last video was overtaking on a solid white line on a road with a load of entrances and a small incline, if no one can see the danger of that they shouldn't be driving,
