For once I agree with Strider500...

Just logged into my PooTube account and it came up with some "suggestions" from my recent searches...

Like many on here I'm not a great fan of howStrider drives, but sometimes it's handy to have a video cam on board:

I think all cars should be fitted with cameras to be honest.

    What a !!!!!! but strider isn't all clean in that video either, if you got any closer strider you would have been in the focus's boot. Not quite following the 2 second rule there!!
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    The benefits of dashcams are obvious. And at around £30 for a good, high definition, discreet camera, there's no real reason not to have one.

    I wouldn't use any of Striders videos as an advert for using dash cams though. He drives badly himself, and tries to make an event out of anything for the benefit of the camera, e.g. where I would brake gradually to a halt, he will speed up and then slam the brakes on, overuse the horn and shout abuse.

    He's a clown, and a bad example of a 'dashcammer'.

    In the caption he basically says you can't trust people so doesn't go alongside so why get so close when it is highly likely they are going to do just what you expect???


    Agree with the comment on the filter lane from the left though guy/girl was a div.

    The video has been aired on MSE before.

    I don't see any line to split the lane into 2 at any point, so it's just one lane isn't it?
    There's no left/straight on lane or straight on / right lane or anything.

    So, when strider gets alongside, he's committed an error.

    And then so does the focus.

    :cool:

    Indeed. Funniest comment from the thread where this video was first posted; "That driving was terrible, what a fool. The Focus driver was pretty bad too" :)
