It's not my car. It's someone who was driving around town like an absolute lunatic nearly causing an accident with their reckless driving.

Pulled the card from my dashcam to get the plate & did a check and it came back as "not insured today".

Seriously? Do you not have better things to do with your life than go digging through your dash cam footage because someone NEARLY did something??

I nearly won the lottery once, but hey, I'm still here working 9-5 several years later. Nearly and actually are 2 very different things.

The car was going to change lane in front of me, that's my bit of road so as I have a dashcam, i sped up to make the gap smaller but he still insisted on trying to squeeze in. How dare they to move into my space? The cheek of it.

100% this!!

You need to get a refund on your translator. It appears to be broken.

What it should translate as is guy must've been doing at least 50 in a 30 since i was doing 33 (yup i broke the law, you can all get your holier than thou t-shirts on like you never speed, ever) because the way he flew past me made me look like i was stationary.
I wasn't even bothered in making any 'gap smaller' because he clearly wasn't interested in getting in in front of me, he was going for a 3 car overtake when the markings down the centre of the road showed no overtaking allowed. A line of traffic was coming the other way & it was that moment where you think is he or isn't he going to make it. Are we going to have a collision here?
Obviously he made it, just. Oncoming traffic flashing & tooting like crazy at him.


But then again, apart from the going 3mph over the limit, that doesn't reflect quite so bad on ME, so i guess we'll ignore what actually happened & stick to your version because it's better for this forum & suits your view eh?

go digging through

Gotta love clowns on MSE putting their own twist on reality. If it doesn't fit we'll make it fit right? :rotfl::T

Do you exaggerate everything in life?

*goes to get milk from fridge door, it's right there at the front. God damnit woman i've had to go DIGGING through this fridge to find the goddamn milk!!!* :rotfl:

Even as i type this post here, i've had to go DIGGING around my keyboard for each letter!! :rotfl:I mean, they're all right there in front of me but that appears to be called DIGGING now :rotfl:

So what do we call it when we actually have to go searching for something then? You must work for the tabloids? You have a similar way with words :rotfl:

So, if it was really that bad, why check the camera for his registration then make a (technically) unlawful enquiry of the MID to post on here rather than just handing the video over to plod and letting them deal?

They can, and do, act on such footage (including legally checking insurance etc)

Upset much? Seems like it. Bottom line is you have nothing better to do in life so you insist on getting involved in other people's business.

Go find a hobby or get out more :rotfl:
