      In fact, without knowing the junction, I would be prepared to say the driver might have been doing the right thing in ensuring the oncoming van was going to stop before clearing the junction. I'm sure there was an Ashley Neil video about this. It's not ideal being in a junction with a red light, but I believe once you have crossed the line it is legal to continue if safe to do so.

The first lorry slowed down to let them in, they didn't take the opportunity. Then the cammer slowed down to let them in, yet again they didn't take the opportunity. How many more opportunities do they need?

    #7, now that is just demonising the Mercedes....( I never thought I'd say that).
    If you look, you can see that his lane is bounded by solid white lines, so he can't cross them. That is not undertaking. The gap he has available is none too generous, so he's got a decision to make. He's up to speed, so he goes for the gap in front of the cammer rather than brake to let the claimed 4 vehicles pass, which might require him braking almost to a stop before merging at low speed onto a high speed road.
    If cammer was aware enough of the surroundings to count the number of cars before whom Mercedes would have to yield, then he should have been aware enough to have lifted off for a moment to give Mercedes a bigger gap with which to work. If it were JUST the cammer on the main carriageway, there'd be cause for complaint; but this was Mercedes driver seeing a problem and resolving it with the minimum risk. #9 illustrates the point...

      Let me guess, you're a Daily Mail reading and GB News watching kind of person.

      I have personal experience of driving in Bradford. I now avoid it like the plague. And no, I do not read the Daily Mail I wouldn't even use it to wipe my a#¥e on, it's so toxic!

    #16. There's been a set of 'temporary;' traffic lights causing a f****g nuisance on the mountain road out of our valley four over two years, the council has literally done nothing there since they were placed there, and there's no sigh that they will do this year either. I do this all the time. They're short enough to drive through and regardless of direction it is easy to see three or four hundred yards past them. Only idiots wait by them if the road is clear now, and ones that do get passed like this. I actually pass a lot of these so=called temporaries' anyway because around here they are left there for weeks with absolutely nothing being done nu the lazy people who dig the roads up. I don't care if it is now illegal (as it never used to be) - if I can see for a long way I will pass them. Far more worthy of criticism is the behaviour of the driver in clip #17.

    6:25 Who would've expected a terrorist sympathiser to ignore the road rules?

      Must have been an Israeli flag then as they seem to be the only ones beyond reproach.
