  • your arrogence shows. your approach is my driving is best and everyone else is the idiot. ive never heared so much twaddle that those that have a relaxed drive style cause life taking accidents, if this was proven we'd all be doing a 110mph on every road in britain. reducing hard acceleration benefits your car and the enviroment for a start, replacing hard accelleraction with gradual speed build up gives you more room to manuver and time to be aware of others. its people like you who "rush around" not paying that much attention run into the back of thos taking their time and knock people over and kill people. if you alter your drive style for one week and have the camera rolling youd find compared to other video's of yours that youll be in less of those situations.

    on that roundabout your sole intention was to jump the cue and use it to overtake. your harsh accelleration put you next to near enough instead of behind the person going accross the roundabout by your harsh accelleration and intentions to over take you put yourself in a position where by you had no option to put your brakes on hard. what if there was another person behind you doing the same as you hard accelleration with no road awarness, he would of gone up your AR$$ and you would of been really miffed off, it those who take their time and have patience that relieve themselfs from situations like yours and avoid most situations.

    This thread is pointless. The OP thinks he's a driving god. He drives aggressively and puts himself into awkward positions so that he can record it and make himself feel better by accusing other drivers of incompetence. It's quite clear to all watching those videos that more often than not it is the OP's driving standard that falls short of acceptable.

    No-one on here will change his mind and I suspect it will take a rather large crash to improve his driving standards. Let's hope none of us are involved in such a crash. And let's face it if we are there'll be plenty of video evidence to support our claim.

    If it was proven that slow driving causes accidents, the govt and other organisations would have to stop blaming speed, this would result in a MASSIVE loss of revenue in speeding fines!

    Global warming is a load of bollox! the warmest year in the last 50 years was 1998 and every govt scientist that has ever stated so has been forced to quit their job...... Again govt and business make a fortune out of the whole thing!

    I don't know where you work out I accelerate hard? I drive a large bog standard car with a relatively small engine for god sake.

    I "jumped a queue"? are you from the planet zog? queues on dual carriageways is utter nonsense!! There are TWO lanes for a reason!!
    We brit's are the only people in the world that have this stupid queuing mentality!!
    Im NOT jumping the queue! im using the road as it was designed to be used and im reducing congestion!!

    Do you go shopping and jump straight to the till with the longest queue or do you go to the till with the least people???

    Your inexperience is really shining through..

    That just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.



    He took the racing line, cut the island and im the aggressive one?
    your harsh accellerating and your impatience put you nearer to him than you needed to be.


    Yes I overtook on a dual carriageway, where's my crime again? no your intentions was oh no a lorry ill overtake him on this roundabout and cut him up by squeezing ito a gap, on no he's at my side??? !!!!!! all i wanted to do was try and cut him up to get in the que!


    I have no patience at all with slow drivers, too many live's are lost each year by people who are far less patient than I.
    because you have no pateince you fall into the catagory of those who speed and take lives! again aggressive drive style no patience and use of roundabouts to overtake and jump cues.

    I post some clips of people doing things which are completely illegal and im the criminal. Go figure....

    you drive style boarders being illegal and i bet the stuff we dont see is illegal.

    at a roundabout in second lane your on the inside!! so you rushed up the INSIDE of the fiesta. not his ouside!! i got it right you got it wrong.

    Im on the outside, not the inside..... Overtaking on the inside (left hand lane) is illegal.

    Outside is his drivers side.....

    Inside is the side of your car nearest to the kerb on a normal single carriageway.

    If you keep it up you may well be a criminal soon though. Time will tell.

    I suspect a plea of insanity would be accepted.

    Reviewing that lorry incident again, judging by how close he got to the van I think the intention was to pass the van as well as the lorry but he overlooked the dark car hidden by the van that was in the gap being aimed for. it is visible as the lorry is along side but if looking ahead it would be missed.
  • lol "wouldnt hurt to use your mirrors" nor would it you strider first we see you in this clip not indicate into second lane before roundabout plus you approach too quickly so you practically shot up his inside.


    That particular clip is a pretty good example of how an advanced driver approaches and goes around a roundabout such as this.Nothing wrong in that clip other than the black car not checking their mirrors and cutting into striders lane.
