I had a lorry do exactly the same thing to me the other day, The driver then clocked me as I pulled to a stop at his side.

Im currently waiting for Jacksons to contact me back (2 days later now btw)
I'm making a complaint
Red Mist was already on that day - this just topped it off

ben, how comes not all youtube video's imbed a player
Great use of mirrors by the VW driver, very similar thing happened to me except I was in the outside lane, stupid woman pulled out to overtake a lorry whilst I was overtaking her, lots of beeping and swearing resulted but fortunately no collision.

Dont paste the youtube link - then hyperlink it
Put F.e. Near Car Crash - Then Hyperlink it - forum picks up on it them
Also - there are often more then 1 type of address for youtubes
You want a shorter one - like so
When i link the web address like so
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TngglLMH9so
It fails to work
I put a title (example below Tester A) then link it works
Hope that helps MEP

Nice quick one from the other week when we had snow..
Close call!!! Did he hit the barrier?
No thankfully. I also anticipated this happening when i saw him in my rear view still in the other lane but catching up quickly. I think the whole 'I need to over take that one more car because I'm in a big German car' mentality is what got him.
Driving in strange areas, especially large cities, can be very confusing at times - satnav might say straight on at a roundabout but road marking can often leave you in the wrong lane. I would either carry on in the wrong lane & rely on satnav to reroute later OR, if traffic is quite light, give as much indication as possible & hope someone lets me through.
The uploads to YT tend to show drivers who do neither, they either want to beat the queue or are simply clueless & exhibit bad driving. In the example of my two uploads - even a complete stranger to the country would surely know about staying in lane? Just because a lot of drivers cut straight over a roundabout, doesn't make it right.
As for why I, personally, upload to YT - revenge is a dish best served cold. Either that or the red mist descends & I drive like a tool to stop the idiot & get out to 'show them the errror of their ways'.
As I'm driving all day long, I could get home all stressy & my driving would get worse as the day goes on, whereas having a camera helps me get over the incident quickly.
BTW, I agree about a 'good' driver being prepared for the unexpected & leaving gaps etc - but when the tools out there leave you with nowhere to go, even the best of the best can't react in time.
Ordering a one of these from a British distributer tomorrow
assuming your 12v is live with ignition it will turn itself on automatically. Im tempted to wire it into the back of the 12v socket or wire in a multibox or something inside the dash board.
I only leave mine in the car when Im somewhere safe. usually I remove it when at my girlfriends (center of Bradford) or when im in a place i don't know.
I leave mine in the car all the time. It's fixed to the parcel shelf above the windscreen & so, set back a little from the screen - with no telltale signs on the screen. As screens tend to be slightly tinted & the cam is black, it's not immediately noticeable.
I have to agree - even moreso after today...

Call that thick fog?!
If it was thick fog you wouldn't have been using your main beam, it's nearly even foglamp weather tbh going by that video.

middle pedal is better for avoiding accidents in fog than flashings head lights or horn
every time its foggy here some one lands on the red X

Its hard to tell in the video, but it was about 10m visibility
Fog lights were on too!
Got some footage on a dual carriage way and its pea souper

And my passenger's comment? "hardly surprising there's so many cripples round here when you get idiots driving like that"
(This, from a double amputee as I drop him off at the Guttman centre !)
Looks like a case of the usual 'it's a car park - rules do not apply' school of motoring....
