Some windscreen hits from stray objects.... (Brown trouser moments):D

Jesus some of them are really scary, especially the (older?) cars where the windscreen completely shatters.
I had a small windscreen chip a couple of months ago and the noise was unreal. I didn't know where I'd been hit. Brown trousers is right.

Wow, no more licence for Mr. Golf

Dangerous driving
Driving without due care
Dangerous overtaking
Wreck-less endangerment
(Uk equivalent of course)

How would they prove who the driver is?

The driver is the registered owner of the car unless proven otherwise.

Ok got ya. I was just wondering if the driver could use the old "it wasn't me driving and I can't remember who took the car" excuse.

The car ripped straight from the field rather than the road, perhaps it was stolen? Drunk driver? Unbelievable that the truck missed it.

"Is that still filming me?"
"Yes. Do you want me to switch it off, officer?"
"No. Leave it running so you can show all your mates that you got a big telling off from a police officer on a horse."

22 maybe. Ha! I read at least 55 on his speedo. Lucky man

67 is the highest I could read. Or roughly, 110km/h

Video says:

Just to make clear to everyone bike has modification on sprockets so speed is not accurate at all

But I think that's a pretty obvious attempt to say 'Here's me uploading this clip, let's all have a *wink*wink* *nod*nod* and enjoy the clip for what it is'

What is it that so many drivers find hard to understand about staying in their own lane? I would say at least 1/4 of the time I go through this junction the people in the right lane drive straight across blocking off the left lane.

This is a particularly brilliant example, asshole blocks lane then goes full on road rage when he gets his own medicine back.

Some pretty awful driving from both of you. I would of held back both times he crossed into my lane and kept my distance. Cutting up the car indicating to turn left in the bus lane was far worse than his poor lane discipline.

gutteruu · 18-11-2014 01:09AM

This was posted last year ?

I'm betting a fiver on three pages.

1 Page 5/1
2 Pages 7/1
3 Pages Evens
4 Pages 10/1

There's a stereotype joke to be had there somewhere.

Euro general (originally 2Euro shop) put up on their FB page that they have dash cams in stock for 10E.
just to let ye know.

Wind your neck in, or at least point it somewhere else. The video is not mine, just popped up on utube and caught my interest as I have seen the same thing there countless times as well as having a colleague who had an idiot crash into him doing exactly the same manouvere there.

I don't agree with the way the camera car cut up the red car in the bus lane at all but to be fair the car only started indicating as he passed it. The SUV driver was the instigator and by far the worst out of the pair of them. Swerving into the other car on purpose, accelerating to cut in front and slam on the brakes. No question but that guy deserves a lengthy driving ban.

Sterling Archer · 18-11-2014 03:20AM

That was posted and discussed at length before. .. terrible driving from both etc. etc. etc.

Next

That is just total disregard for the rules of the rd... Like where does the cyclist get off, running a red light like that?!

bear1 · 18-11-2014 11:03AM

2013? My time machine works!!!

Just to stop that video dragging on, it was posted last year by the actual driver of the dashcam car. He got slated, rightly or wrongly is up to you to decide. In my opinion both gob****es.
Now to move on before a mod gives us ANOTHER warning:
