The Dash Camera Thread (Videos)

Nope you're not at all sanctimonious are you :rolleyes:

Go for your life, I'm sure its just what you need to keep you feeling big and clever (y)

Of course the 'old boy' was an error on my part the video was deactivated and somewhere along the lines got reactivated, it is now deleted so that it can't happen again, I also learnt from this and now just report these 'poor old boys' to the dvla and leave them to deal with it (as I did with the driver in the video) because if yours struggling to walk you're not really in any position to pull off a timely emergency stop when some kid runs out without thinking (as they do) nothing sanctimonious about that!


You call me sanctimonious! You are not qualified to judge who is capable of driving based on watching them walk to their car and yet YOU say you report these people - the ability to walk and the ability to operate a brake pedal are poles apart.

It's not too hard to see why you haven't posted many of your videos for us to see - the old man video you had to take down - oh, and the road angel? As per arc's comment (post #6 ) - only people who need them are speed merchants.
Let's look at YOUR driving vids...
"undertaking" - I agree with the other comments on the vid - if you weren't pootling along in the outside lane, the other guy'd have no need to come past on your inside. The fact that he could come by meant you obviously weren't overtaking. (Rule 137)

"epically bad driving" - you put on the video 'the law says you should give way to cars on the roundabout' - just as you pull up behind the blue Kia (?) and yet there is a small Ka trying to pull onto the roundabout which you completely block - thereby creating a longer snarl up on that road :rolleyes:

"exit not clear" "never enter a junction till your exit is clear?" - remind me, what does the HC say? 187 In all cases watch out for and give plenty of room to ... traffic crossing in front of you on the roundabout, especially vehicles intending to leave by the next exit. Strictly speaking, you should never enter a roundabout unless your exit is clear (as is the rule for any junction, however, this isn't realistically workable on a roundabout), however, there is legal precedence for blocking traffic - to/from side roads, to/from driveways.

"cyclist trying to get himself run over" Well, he's cycling in the small layby to allow cars to come by - YOU, as the driver, can see he'll be coming to the end of the layby shortly and yet carry on as though he should be the one who stops for you. If he'd stayed in the road, the car in front would've been forced to slow to his speed, unable to pass due to oncoming traffic.
 
What I find interesting about some of these dash cam videos is that although they do capture some daft antics perpetrated by other drivers some of the cars they are being taken from appear to be speeding - especially in the ones taken in 30 mph limits....looking at the speed the road is passing along with the street furniture I would estimate some of you seem to be going up to 40mph maybe more......

Just an observation....

It can seem that was on dash cam videos.

Example, what speed am I doing here:

I could sit and answer all your drivel but i really can't be bothered things like the road angel came with the car was massively out of date and used to warn you of "Danger School" half way up the M18" it got removed and binned about a year before the car saw the wrong side of the scrap yard fence, but you will make what judgement you will.

I could go through your videos one by one being picky about every little detail you've got wrong and i'm sure its many, (you've posted something like 30 videos since I last posted anything) the reason i don't 'share' as many videos on here is I can't be arsed, i'm not any better than most people and like most i'm prone to the odd mistake on the roads. if its something blatantly illegal I might down load it off the camera or if its something humorous, I have quite a few videos in these categories on my desk top at the moment but i really don't have the inclination to post them I'm not trying to prove i'm some expert driver or create a popular YouTube channel. in essence my time is better spent on other projects.
I also stopped posting registration numbers because I don't think its fair on the poor sod who innocently buys a car only to find videos of it plastered all over the internet especially if some scrote recognises the car from a video and thinks they are being clever taking matters into their own hands

What does posting videos of other drivers really achieve? it doesn't make them better drivers it's purely a self satisfying, dogmatic, egotistical exercise.

oh and I should point out that I AM qualified to to recognise who is incapable of driving based on watching them walk, and have an obligation to report concerns to the dvla if i have them

Oh ffs, grow up the pair of you. If you're not posting a video then send each other a PM instead of spamming this thread.

sorry i'm not going to shut up when a bully is calling kids 'retards' and every other driver on the road an idiot. its not acceptable in any way shape or form its not what this thread or forum is about
 
The simplest solution is to just block him but he likes to follow me round the forum quoting me, and have just deleted a whole load of his spam from YouTube as well.

Would be quite happy for him to block me too and then there won't be any more issues

My "whole load" ? (really?) "spam" from youtube was simply echoing comments from other users - have you deleted their comments as well?
And as for following you around the forum, don't flatter yourself.
 
Blocked on here blocked on YouTube (both accounts) and still getting quote notifications.

You live your life I'll live mine, time to just drop it now for the sake of the forum
