Complain about dangerous/aggressive comercial vehicle drivers!

If it's you in the videos, I wouldn't have thought first gear was needed for breaking the speed limit accelerating towards visible hazards on 50 mph dual carriageways, so I can see why it's less important.





I'm not so sure it is that much on the wrong

freeze frame from that



What is just stunning about the start of this one is the Strider character is overtaking towards an oncoming vehicle overtaking a parked car and even forces it to shelter behind the next parked vehicle.

Why on earth he and the Peugeot almost end up trying to overtake the dark car three abreast somewhere there simply isn't space, God only knows.

Perhaps the dark car saw this overtaking folly about to happen and tried to be out of the way to allow it to pass as soon as possible, maybe slowed down for some other reason, like wondering is this the road on the left I want, or perhaps it does actually turn there, but Strider apparently doesn't even notice or certainly doesn't remark on that or the oncoming silver one.

And then there is aggressive acceleration solely to converge rapidly on the back of the Peugeot and intimidate it, while it is about to slow down for the roundabout.

For more modest road users, these videos ought to be an education in defensive driving. Meeting one person like this would be bad enough, but if 2 or more of them meet each other and start trying to intimidate and bulldoze each other off the road near you, be careful. In that incident, I want to be the silver or greyish car.

What you have to remember, is that in Striders world he is the perfect driver and the IAM should have all their members do it his way.;)

Maybe Bigjl could give us the benefit of his trained opinion, after all he must know about Roadcraft and a little about the way the IAM do it. He must at least be trained to police standard level.

Having watched all the video clips all I would say is that Strider needs a chill pill! One way or another there will be only one outcome & I've heard hospital food hasn't improved much.

You miss the indicator on the silver car, it was indicating to pull over well before I made any decision. Take a look again.


Seriously though guys, I start a thread and people start posting unrelated video's.
This has sweet fa to do with my video's, but instead we have what I can only assume are such van drivers now turning this thread into an attack on me, assisted by those who would probably support a football team just because it's winning.

Thus diverting the point of the thread..... It really doesn't take a genius to see it.

WHICH WAS......... Report them!!

This video was used on National TV in light of the new proposals to punish bad driving, look how much stick the video's poster gets from the same sort of mindless morons that would slag me off in my own video's.

In fact there are countless video's, even those which have resulted in prosecutions.... And the innocent poster of the video still gets slagged off....

Strider that trucker should never have passed him initially it was a dodgy place to do it but then the car driver hogs the right lane, finally obertakes the lorry right on the double white lines then slows right down and eventually stops in the middle of the road forcing the whole carriageway to a standstill to the point people try and pass on what looks like a sliproad.
Trucker was wrong, car driver was downright dangerous and thats also classed as roadrage.

Bad driving from both from what I can see, it's particularly concerning that the OP "brake tests" a 44 tonne truck....wonder who would win if it all went pete tong?

I think the term is "self preservation", keep putting yourself in dodgy situations is just asking for the inevitable.

I really can't get my head round why some get so stressed about it.... life's way too short. Someone cuts you up/pulls out in front of you get over it, it happens & will happen again tomorrow & the day after.... ad infinitum.

I drive for a living & if I reacted like you do to every incident I'd be either in the coronary unit or the nuthouse!

All that video shows is what happens when two incompetent drivers meet.

Strider, are you familiar with the phrase "hoisted by ones own petard"?, 'scuse the spelling if it's off.

It basically means in this context that any video you take can be used to prosecute you equally as effectively as the other party:eek:
Remember that Japanese nerd?, that videod himself doing 160 odd on a motorway then posted it on Utube, take care.

As a Westfield or past Westfield owner, (like myself), I would expect you to have a more rounded approach to motoring than you appear to have:(

I rather suspect you have only spotted that since you yourself took a look again. The silver car looks more like it's giving way to you, rather than stopping to park, like I would do if I saw blue flashing lights in your position. But either way, further back at the beginning of your manoeuvre you wouldn't have known what it was about to do, as it would have been partly unsighted from you before passing its first parked car. This simply doesn't look like an appropriate place to plan that manoeuvre, given the hazards on both sides of the road, especially the parked cars on the right

And why do you accelerate hard towards the next hazard, hurtling on to the back of the Peugeot just as it will slow down? Ok, there was a burst of adrenalin at nearly hitting the parked car, but learn to keep that in check.

As for that video, well, first of all the vigilante style revenge saved up for several minutes later is one thing, copying back the late overtake manoeuvre and then deliberately slowing down, but the comments below give away more of the character of the idiot in the car than one would like to know, especially the implied violence in his threats to visit someone's house.

What about innocent road users that could be caught up in all this. One day it will happen and I hope for his sake he doesn't take some one out in the process.
