    So why didn't he drive down it?
    By all accounts he did.
    Pulling out on a toe in arrow isn't exactly good prectice is it?
    neither is overtaking at speed a line of slow moving traffic.

    I succesfully helped to get someone like Strider convicted in a court of dangerous driving for a collision that occured in exactly these circumstances

    The person pulling out can claim an excuse, Strider cannot if he is unable to stop.

    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.....

    You can blame yourself for that and people like you, there is a video of you using the wrong lane on a roundabout to cut in on the first exit. If you didn't do it then they would have no reson to do that to you even when you are turning right :rotfl:

    They 4x4 driver was clearly in the wrong in the clip you posted. Ok strider may have been a bit quick but the highway code does now tell you to use both lanes.

    I've met your sort before, you sound like the sort of Hobbie Bobbie who polices his neighbours parking and tax discs.

    Why are you pulling up old youtube posts to have a go at strider?
    We all know it's cause you were bullied at school.;)

    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

    They are open cheverons you can enter if it is necessary, I have not yet found a definiton of "necessary" in relation to this law.

    It could be argued with an agressive driver behind he wanted to get out of the way ASAP although with the video evidence this could be drawn into question as he did force a braking maneuvre moments earlier.

    It's my duty to tell a court the truth as a witness, I don't know what you could have against that.

    Because he doesn't get it. His agressive driving style is what causes him so much trouble on the roads. Besides he doesn't mind.

    The bully here is Strider in his driving manner. It is just a bit of fun, I'm sure Strider can take a bit of fun, he does afterall post his videos for all and sundry to see. And this is a follow on from a previous session on here of srutinising Striders videos. It is beneficial for Strider to get a different opinion on his videos he might just learn something.

    Yawn.

    Just done a search, hasn't all this been done to death here?

    No doubt it's your duty to make him get it.:think:

    Its six of one, half a dozen of the other.They aren't all Strider's fault but then he could drive more defensively and they wouldn't even be an issue.A lot of what he says is true but his interpretation of it on the road can sometimes get him into trouble.
