You got the video of the woman going into you sorted yet? It would be good to see another moron.

That's a good point, how many accidents involving yourself have you got on video?

^^ Yes I do have the video, it will shown once the insurance claim has been dealt with, just in case it's needed in court.

As taught by the institute of advanced motorists.

You should invite the institute of advanced motorists to comment on your videos.When they explain that your driving is pushy,confrontational,likely to cause accidents and generally immature,you can call them a bunch of pricks,because you know best.

^^ I can only assume that you disapprove of people overtaking.... AT ALL.

There's nowt wrong with the driving in those video's, it's by the book. I don't claim to know everything, but with my video's I'm doing my part to name and shame poor drivers, it's a far more constructive "release" than driving like a testosterone fuelled caveman in a car....

"The man who thinks he know's everything, actually knows nothing at all"

Im not old enough or arrogant enough to assume I know everything..... But also, Age or 40 years on the road does not automatically make someone a good driver. For the relative minority it seems to make them arrogant, ignorant, self-righteous and quite frankly (as shown in the video) dangerous!

Now as for immaturity.... Do slow drivers, do so deliberately just so they can have something or someone to moan about when they get overtaken? I bet some of them do!
In fact.... The classic "im going to do 60mph in this overtaking lane and im not going to move for anyone, because it's a limit not a target" gang still exist today, causing havoc on British motorways and then snickering self-righteously when they see an accident occur in their rear view mirror.

Drivers beware, car camera's are spreading and YOU may end up on Youtube too!

Strider, what car are you driving in these vids? You do seem to attract more than your fair share of "attention"

skiddlydiddly

Well I thought Strider did move over at the appropriate time on the duel carriagweay clip(we cannot see what's in his NS mirror so for all we know the mx5 or whatever was still accelerating themself) and the overtake in the other clip on the chevrons was fine.He does however break the same 2 seconds rule he is reminding others about .You are driving about 1 second behind them most of the time and it generally takes 0.5 seconds just to react to something happening so you have half a second at fairly quick speeds to avoid any trouble that happens.

Nope,happy to overtake and be overtaken.

Apart from tailgating,in the rain,behind a lorry.

The classic "im going to do 60mph in this overtaking lane and im not going to move for anyone, because it's a limit not a target" gang still exist today

Are they in a rival gang to the ones who shout that 38mph on a 60mph road is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Instead of viewing other drivers as an endless problem,try fitting in with them.You will find driving much less stressfull.

One of these, totally unmodified, completely bog standard....

Before this I had a 2 litre Peugeot 306 and I had less trouble with that car. With that I only ever had trouble with boyracers and 4x4's.

With the Vec, I noticed I get trouble primarily with large/medium cars, BMW's, 4x4's, white vans (especially) and frustrated middle age men stuck in "family cars" they probably wish they didn't have.

It's weird how what you drive tends to dictate how others drive around you.
I suspect that Vectra's have caught a bad name from being fleet vehicles driven by idiot sale reps up and down the motorways.

@strider, Can I ask why you have a camera in your car? Do you record every journey you make? What if you have a passenger?

P.S. You need a hair cut:p

I suspect you might be right!

While you may do things I wouldn't (& vice versa), I don't see anything that should provoke the responses in the vids.. certainly the guy in the silver 4x4!
