- I put hazards on because of a van close behind me. Berk in a Merc L555 BLY goes mad & becomes a hazard!
He's just got close to the black car before pulling out to pass it
The only real hazard here is sitting in lane 2/2 for no good reason, then sitting in lane 2/3 for no good reason at the end of the clip. If you weren't insistent on holiding people up, all of the time, you might find the frequency that people 'tailgate' you reduces.
SHORT SIGHTED LANE HOGGING HYSTERIA
I WAS OVERTAKING
not like the Mercedes driver who got less than e second behind a vehicle before changing lanes to overtake
Also if I remember correctly the tailgating van changed lane, varied speed & tailgated so much that I overtook it twice
What about the inconvenience caused by drivers in the left hand lane behind vehicles signalling left?
@@stephenbagwell8275 "What about the inconvenience caused by drivers in the left hand lane behind vehicles signalling left"
- This makes zero sense. There is no inconvenience caused to anyone if you are behind someone signalling left.
@@stephenbagwell8275 If you had any driving merit you'd have worked out the Merc was gaining on the Clio ages ago, let off the throttle anticipating its overtake. Not that this matters as at the point the Merc pulls out, you were more than 2 seconds behind it, so it really shouldn't have been an issue for you to let off and build some space. If you're getting hysterical over this, hand your license in. It's genuinely scary that I have to share the roads with people like you who are 1 (very) mild inconvenience off of an aneurysm.
The van's (and any other vehicle's) speed shouldn't be a concern to you. Make sure you overtake properly and adjust your following distance accordingly, on clear sections of your other videos it's very clear that you're not the best at keeping a consistent speed either. Finally there is no inconvenience of someone signaling left in the left lane. They're only going to move left. If you are driving at a safe distance and speed then you'll have ample time to overtake.
@@jameshoggisthebest of course was anticipating that the Merc would overtake the Clio but why did it get so close behind it?
Nothing the Mercedes did caused me any concern until it braked down to 60 in an over reaction to hazard lights that were nothing to do with him
how can I safely change lanes with a van close behind me
What’s scary is that the Merc braked to 60 mph in the middle lane which you haven’t spotted
I can’t even cross the road sometimes because of drivers overtaking vehicles signalling left
@@stephenbagwell8275 It's embarrassing, like really embarrassing you have to be told this. Left signal and move across when the gap is big enough. Consequently if you spent more time in lane 1 you'd find people traveling at a higher speed have more chance to go past you and have no need to stay behind you. I saw the Merc breaking, but he had his hazard lights on, so by your warped logic, it therefore wasn't a problem as you should have magically inferred his intentions because he had his hazard lights on. (I hope you understand how ridiculous you sound now)
I don't understand how you crossing the road has any bearing on traffic moving in the same direction on a duel carriageway.
Have you considered visiting a psychiatrist?
Do you not think the Merc driver needs to?
0:43 Can anyone tell me what all that mental screaming is about?
Why did you put your hazards on if someone was close behind you? Move over and let them pass. Why did you have some sort of breakown towards the end?
A van appeared to be too close behind so I couldn’t change lanes & I was overtaking a big truck
It’s called exasperation at the lack of knowledge about hazard lights. They’re not much use when drivers leave their headlights on or foot on the brake pedal
@@stephenbagwell8275 It's quite ironic that you are exasperated at the lack of knowledge about hazard lights, yet you used them because you thought a van was too close behind. If that's the case, carry on as you normally would and move to the left at the first opportunity you can.
Using your hazards in this situation is NOT what they're there for.
As for the foot on the brake pedal thing, I agree with you on that. Especially when it's dark and the increasing brightness of LED brake lights it can be quite unpleasant in traffic.
@@warren6815 hazard lights make your vehicle more visible to drivers behind
@@stephenbagwell8275 The only legal reason to use your hazards while moving, is under extreme braking conditions, when they'll usually fire automatically.
@@squicker wrong - what if you can see stationary motorway traffic in the distance?
Absolutely level 10 lane hogging here - from this and the other clip you've uploaded you spend 30 seconds sitting in a lane you don't need to instead of keeping left.
SHORT-SIGHTED HYSTERIA
I was inconveniencing no one unlike the 10 drivers queuing in the left lane when I was trying to walk across 2 lanes
@@stephenbagwell8275 but the description says you had a van behind you?
@@stephenbagwell8275 What? In another post you said, "I can’t even cross the road sometimes because of drivers overtaking vehicles signalling left".
So on the one hand it's inconvenient for you when they pass, on the other it's inconvenient when they wait. And, if traffic is queuing, you walk safely between cars, surely?
None of what you are saying makes any sense, even by your own strange internal logic.
@@squicker no I would have to wait for one lane of 10 to move away when the lights change instead of 2 lanes of 5
@@stephenbagwell8275But you said you are crossing the road. Ergo, the lights change, the lane stops, you cross. Not really sure why you think the number of lanes matter when you're crossing the road at the lights.
The left lane looks pretty empty to me 🤷🏼
I was overtaking how many vehicles before the Mercedes became a hazard?
@@stephenbagwell8275 became a hazard, they were about 100/200yds in front of you? Definitely a bad perception. No need for you to be in Lane 2/3 or 2/2 for the last 25 seconds of the clip (and for how much longer, I can only guess).
@@duckydashcam751 look at my speed?
@@stephenbagwell8275 between 64-68mph on average. Yeah. Lane 1 is for normal driving and lanes 2/3/4 are for overtaking, not Sat driving in.
@@duckydashcam751 wrong -the erratic Mercedes driver caused me to slow to 60 mph
What? This video makes no sense at all. What triggered your cockpit episode? Who's 'become a hazard'? Why didn't you move to the left lane in that mile-long section when it was clear?
So many questions, and not even the delightful sounds of Janes Addiction in this video.
The Merc driver becomes a hazard by slowing in the middle lane & gesturing
Why change lanes when there’s a bus in the left lane as well as the erratic car in front?
@@stephenbagwell8275 So, what had happened between you and the Merc prior to this?
@@squicker nothing happened before this I'd only just joined the motorway. He just over reacted to hazard lights
@@stephenbagwell8275 Where was the Merc when you put the hazards on?
@@squicker as you can see it was quite a distance in front of me
