Huh? What makes you think I drive on the wrong side of the road?

I'm not sure even you know where you are going with this one Ted.

@1:10 you give out about a guy blazing through a stop sign Very next clip you do the same thing and nearly hit a car turning right across you?

I don't want to argue! You said I nearly hit a car turning across me. I hadn't reached the end of the road, the lady took the corner far too fast and on my side of the road and you think I'm wrong. I don't know what else to say!

You stop at the sign, not the end of the road.
The sign is telling you that you must stop, it is not a warning of an upcoming stop. You stop because you are joining a major road.

There was no stop line, so you so at the sign. In any case, the line would be with the sign.

20. (1) A driver of a vehicle shall stop the vehicle in advance of traffic sign number RRM 017 [stop line] or traffic sign number RUS 027 [stop sign].

(2) Where both traffic signs referred to in sub-article (1) are provided, a driver of a vehicle shall stop the vehicle in advance of traffic sign number RRM 017 [stop line].

Stop signs are often back from a junction where HGVs would need to make a wide turn, proceeding past the the sign means you are in their way.

To paraphrase the law - Main road ahead. Traffic on the main road has right of way. Stop before entering

See how far the STOP sign is away from the painted line!.....

Wow, I hope she caught the reg and reported it.

I'd hazard a guess though that only 1 of the parties has insurance.

Well, if anything the EU has accomplished with their open border policies, it is that it turned The Netherlands into an Eastern European country as it comes to dashcam footage.

According to the nct website: "Vehicle Records indicate that this Vehicle is Scrapped."

Shouldn't the scrapper be in trouble for releasing the car back onto the road?

A few from this have been repeated from other compilations posted in the original thread.

Don't you get a warm, fuzzy feeling when the police arrive at just the right time to give a dick like that a nasty surprise.

Might be hard to see the trailer in vid, but it was really wobbling badly...just as the cops were passing him. The 206, just in front of the Red Ford pulling into Lane-1 after overtaking the trucks:

Two cop cars to stop him - getting as bad as the US, or maybe they were gonna tpac him then realised there was only 2 of them

People thinking everything on YT is free for the taking
Hope you sent them a nice invoice and asked for a correction

And when the cheque arrives, he can send on a chunk to Simon & Garfunkel for the use of their song, and Disturbed for the use of their recording...?

Just a riff on the ‘but the dashcammer was in the wrong too’ trope.

Current affairs or news programmes can generally use material like this from YouTube etc as a fair use under copyright law. It’s the same way they can put sports clips etc on the news without paying for or having the rights, or the way statire or review shows can show clips from other channels to slag them off etc.
That’s assuming clips are credited appropriately of course.

Fair use pertains to using a portion of a works not in it's entirety - they used more than a little bit to get their point across, plus they said they filmed it themselves
The commercial side of it I wouldn't be too sure about - usually when a tv programme uses your video they pay you for it

Yeah its called fair dealing in Ireland, You'd normally expect either payment or as you've said credit (or both) I got neither

Might fire them off an email, saying I want to use the clips for a project. Ask them who they got the permission from? Just because I want to get permission and credit them too?

I was so relieved when voices started to appear written on the screen. listening without sound I thought she had slowed for dog, then ran over it purposely (the bump) and was going to drive off! At least only metal and plastic got damaged

You really criticising other drivers behaviour? you clearly break the 100km/h limit at 13sec into the video.

The speedo can be out by up to 12%
