Strider has put some more vids up :D New to me atleast, first time I've looked in 7 months.

Strider gets upset when another driver decides to legitimatly use the right hand lane and spoils his fun. :rotfl:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6X1h8-LmtA&nofeather=True#t=24s
*Edited the starting point to save viewers some boredom*

Strider fails to take appropriate braking action when a car infront legitamatly pulls onto the main road a fair distance infront of him, 50 yds before a 30 zone and close behind the slow moving traffic infront. Notice how the silver car is much more relaxed about the van pulling out at the start of the video. Strider chooses to drive agressively and reaps the consequences.

Strider obviously driving too close as he is unable to slow his car when the vehicle infront brakes

Strider ignores the SLOW markings on the road accelerates and overtakes two hazards (over the white lines) in a merge left zone. and forces his way in at high speed. And although the taxi did not indicate it is arguable he had started to cross the white lines (to overtake) before Strider had started his overtake maneuvre. Terrible agressive driving from Strider.

Strider ignores an oncoming hazard and continues regardless
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mf2kXDaMC4&nofeather=True

0 secs - 4 secs - Strider wrecklessly and impatiently overtakes a moving car in a small residential street with an oncoming car and parked cars all around including directly infront of himself.
Strider goes on to show road rage and aggressive language and driving manner.
Strider breaks highway code 112 (as he does very often)

Sorry Strider, but if you will put them on a public forum you can expect us to scrutinise them.

    He gets upset when I legitimately use the right hand lane for the purpose it was intended and designed for.

    And what he did was both illegal and dangerous.

    If you need to change lane, first use your mirrors and if necessary take a quick sideways glance to make sure you will not force another road user to change course or speed. When it is safe to do so, signal to indicate your intentions to other road users and when clear, move over.
    Firstly it wasn't even an accident, it was deliberate.
    He forced me to change speed and he changed lanes without indication.
    What if id been on a motorbike? would you still be saying that was ok?

    You should follow the signs and road markings and get into the lane as directed. In congested road conditions do not change lanes unnecessarily. Merging in turn is recommended but only if safe and appropriate when vehicles are travelling at a very low speed, e.g. when approaching road works or a road traffic incident. It is not recommended at high speed.
    Afterwards I waited for the next section of broken line chevron and went round him anyway, he started waving his mobile at me lol... I was thinking "please PLEASE call the Police, PLEASE!! I really need a good laugh!!"

    Again if you read the highway code you'll see that you should never cause another road user to have to change direction or brake.
    I wouldn't have minded if he hadn't acted like an ar5ehole.... Who here hasn't at least once, pulled out of a junction and missed a gear?

    Exactly 2 second gap.




    This isn't very entertaining, can we have some UFO's breaking the speed limit please?

    There's two lanes if the other driver wants to use the outside lane there's nothing to stop him legitimately doing so.

    Pulling out on a toe in arrow isn't exactly good prectice is it?

    Wrong... See my reply above

    The law is the law and the rules are the rules, you don't see me driving around trying to aggressively enforce the rules on everyone else. Yet some people go around enforcing rules that don't even exist....... What do we call that? ANARCHY!

    I don't even tailgate slow drivers!! though admittedly I have done in the past (years ago), but I soon realised that tailgating just makes them aware that your likely to overtake, giving them opportunity to "race" (or worse). It's far better to sit back and pretend like you don't care.

    Also, with the 4x4 video.... I get people doing this almost every single day outside my street. We have two lanes leading to traffic lights, one lane goes left/straight the other goes right (but sometimes people cut in), my street is on the right 200 yards BEFORE the lights and I take the right hand lane to get to my street, but almost every single day I get some idiot blocking the right hand lane to stop me!!! :mad:
    Obviously I don't post those video's.....

    i see the typical mini driver and their attitude ,usually driven by women who have black roots but blonde hair ,anyway she went on the chevrons to take a right turn but you will notice a bold line which means you treat the chevrons as a no go area therefore as well as being a muppet the mini driver committed a moving traffic offence for whats its worth
    basically we get a bit of nice weather and normally sane people get behind the wheels of something and lose the plot,maybe aircon will be made compulsory to cool their peanut in a head brains down

    first video everyone was in a queue and the bloke in the 4x4 was trying to stop jumpers to the front,bit silly though as he nearly did indeed cause an accident by his late maneuver,i do it much earlier to stop this then nobody lets ME back in:rotfl:

    And yet you were unable to slow without getting too close and driving agressively behind car infront and sounding your horn illegally?

    In this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAXtvpA94Uc&nofeather=True at 56 seconds if you focus your eyes on the white lines in the middle of the road, you can tell that Strider puts his foot down when he gets level with the merge sign to then get ahead of the Mondeo ST. No wonder he got the middle finger...
