On a different note, would never ever feel comfortable with entering a roundabout to the left (as per driving on the left lane in UK). Did it once at night just to fuck about but even then, felt wrong.
One thing you have to get used to in the UK is that the pedals are swapped over. Accelerator is on the left, clutch on the right. Indicators are on the right side of the wheel too And the gears are swapped over, 1 and 2 are on the right of the stick, 4 and 5 the left
hyper-aggressive ball of a rage
I think he must have some sort of mental condition.

That's not true. Accelerator is on the right, break middle, clutch left. In every car I've ever driven - UK, EU, Auzzie, Yank....

1:50 and forward. Thoughts?
I think you might have just done a toht
in the UK is that the pedals are swapped over. Accelerator is on the left, clutch on the right.
If @Tom was just being funny it wasn't very obvious
For a start, he never smiles. Dead giveaway.If @Tom was just being funny it wasn't very obvious
That's absolutely mind blowing. Jesus, I did not see that coming. I thought that was going to end with a rant, but when I saw the actual accident I was like:

It's like when two massive cunts collide and create a supernova of cunt. Sure, the caravan driver was a complete cunt but in the beginning he may have made an honest mistake and was trying to get across into the left hand lane (which was full of traffic and almost impossible to move into) for some time so duly waited and indicated. The dashcam driver, as much as the caravan driver was in the wrong, could have avoided the whole situation by just allowing the gap to open up and allow him to move in. But no, one cunt took on another cunt and it ended up in an accident causing misery to both and the hundreds of other drivers on that motorway, all because of fucking ego.
Sure, the caravan driver was ultimately to blame, but they were both cunts ultimately. I don't understand why people get so god damn angry about one single car cutting in front. You'll get to your destination half a second slower. Muppets.
Meh.I think the winks and smileys all over his post were a bit of a clue...
Not sure what an insurance assessor would actually say here tbh; they're both wrong in different bits of the Highway Code (Rule 163 - make sure there's a gap for you to overtake into), and Rule 168, pull back to give a driver who is overtaking you, the space to do so. The dashcam guy definitely knew the caravan guy was trying to get in, but the caravan guy shouldn't have been anywhere near an overtaking manoeuvre that close to his exit. Knock for knock probably.
@Tom got me there. Though, it wouldn't suprise me since you guys drive on the left side, have the wheel on the left and use the non-metric system.
I uate when people indicate and think that automatically buys thema gap to move into. Changing lanes on the motorway. Im indicating so you need to let me in. Its crap highway code says you should only move across when safe to do so and not to make others brake etc to let you in.Yeah, the guy could have braked and let him in, but after the first collision, when it was obvious he couldn't get in, the guy in the caravan kept going rather than braking himself, and then turned across the driver.
I'd put it 80% in the caravan driver's court. Should have been over half a mile earlier, indicating doesn't mean "give me space now" and then to compound the original sidebump with a cluster fuck is just idiocy (admittedly when he's probably already a bit scared - but to fail to stop when he's out of options, and to choose to ram someone instead, is mind blowing).
Could have been avoided tho yep.
Yep, I hate that.I uate when people indicate and think that automatically buys thema gap to move into. Changing lanes on the motorway. Im indicating so you need to let me in. Its crap highway code says you should only move across when safe to do so and not to make others brake etc to let you in.
