    Really???? Perhaps it's glasses that you need. The screenshot below is BEFORE the Toyota starts breaking. It does not look like 12-15 feet to me, looks like you're hanging off his bumber.

    Post a few frames either foward or back please so we can see the arrows in derricks lane showing he is in the wrong.

    No it is not, I explained this earlier See post #55
    The arrow on the road is pointing the wrong way,when this was done a few years ago I contacted the Highways dept, and informed them they had it wrong, they would not be convinced, I then contacted the traffic police and spoke to a sergeant who told me that they had also contacted the Highways and informed them they had it wrong, but still they would not listed and the police had no power to make them change it.

    Ironically about one and a half miles away on the opposite side of the road a similar occurrence happens, i.e. lane 1 ends, but this time the arrow points the correct way, i.e from lane 1 to lane 2.

    Also don't forget arrows on the road are advisory, you also need to look at the road layout, and in this case the arrows point the wrong way!

    So you say.

    The arrows prove nothing, by following them you create problems, the road lay out dictates the route, and by staying in lane 1 you would hit the pavement!

    Hilarious, the arrows clearly indicate that you should be merging into lane 1. You chose to ingnore them because you believe the road markings to be wrong. Despite being told by the Highways Dept that they are correct you still think you are right and everyone else is wrong. There's a recurring theme going on here.

    Please can you provided details of what road junction that is - I'm sure Google Earth will clear the whole thing up?

    Me as well, it is clear that we could debate this forever more, but it is clearly all water off a ducks back.

    There are none so blind, as those that will not see.
