      Right! 100% on the driver in the right lane. He's the one wanting to change lanes so it is up to him to adjust his speed to merge safely. First car in the center lane probably never saw the indicator, so cammer, seeing the problem developing should have backed off to allow the right-lane driver to easily move one lane over without too much disruption to the flow of traffic. But no, they both have to make the absolute worst decisions and bring two lanes of the motorway to a standstill.

    • @waltersobchak1719
      @waltersobchak1719 Před 3 měsíci +4

      Actions of the cammer were even worse. I am assuming he was after a new car, sitting there for no reason, clearly hoping someone would drive into the back of him. What a muppet!

    • @gavinminion8515
      @gavinminion8515 Před 3 měsíci +3

      Yes, first thing I noticed is the cammer was too close to the car in front. The overtaking car takes the majority of the blame for their total lack of awareness (at 70mph in the overtaking lane of am motorway!). And the car in front was also not aware of this developing and chose to do entirely the wrong thing. All three drivers need to be more alert at the wheel and the cammer needs to increase their distance so that they have more time to react.

    • @sw8296
      @sw8296 Před 3 měsíci +2

      cammer could have moved in to lane 2 around 2:25 to avoid the conflict (another car moved from lane 2 to lane 1). Probably hyper focused on the car in lane 4 though, which is somewhat understandable.
      *edit - car didn't move over, i think it's the distortion of the lens - gap in lane 2 was still big enough though.

    RE #12: who's responsible? I work in Insurance, specifically Public Liability. Liability would lie with the owner of the tree (landowner) if the claimant (owner of the damaged car) could prove (or the landowner admitted) that the trees were not maintained (etc regular, reasonable inspections and removal of possible hazards such as diseased trees). If the land owner is not considered to have been negligent in their duties of maintaining the trees and removing hazards, then the car owner may be able to make a no fault claim (the dashcam footage would help prove they were not at fault). If there were storm conditions on the date of incident then the land owner would likely be found to not be at fault, as the tree has fallen because of bad weather, not negligence on the part of the landowner.

    #9 I don't agree with the road rage afterwards but the camera car was in the wrong lane. the sign post on the right says middle lane goes to A38 and A5 so middle lane goes into the 2nd and 3rd lanes on the roundabout. The road markings have now be changed so that middle lane is "A38(N) A5(E)".

    • @boatman323
      @boatman323 Před 3 měsíci +1

      Agreed, if following the road sign and the later road markings, the cammer should have taken the rightmost lane onto the roundabout, and emerged on the rightmost lane onto the A5(E). But, the road markings on the approach to the roundabout disagree with the sign, and it would easy to think that a single A5(E) lane split into two on the roundabout, in which case taking the line they did would have been correct. The lanes sign itself is confusing and awkwardly placed after the big roundabout sign. So overall perhaps they deserve some slack here, but the other car managed to hold that grudge for an impressive distance!

    #9 the cam car is at fault - the lanes suggest joining lane 2 is for a38n and a5, which is only accessible via lane 2&3 on the roundabout. Joining lane 3 is for a5 and a38 w, and so should merge to lane 4 on the roundabout. It is a confusing one but the camera car decides to overtake into the space the car ahead was heading to, poor driving and hopefully clear on reflection.

    Matey then seems to spurn the opportunity, and leaves the cammer in a VERY vulnerable spot; I would have got going again much sooner, and if matey had shot forward and whacked my car, there would have been quite enough evidence to pin the blame on him. God bless dashcams...

At 6:46 the cammer could easily have used the right lane for a5 east and allowed the other car to proceed around the roundabout on the inside lane but chose to cut her off at 6:49. Look at the road markings at 6:50!

    I got rear-ended performing an emergency brake on a motorway after the car in front of me also braked hard. As a result, watching people stop on a dual carriageway or motorway gives me major anxiety. Please, never ever stop in fast moving traffic. It is incredibly dangerous for everyone involved, all you need is one person not paying attention. It's better to let someone in and be frustrated than to put your life and other people's lives in danger.

It's to remind drivers of little vehicles that staying next to one is a very, very bad idea.

    Your own insurance pays out for tree damage.
    It's the natural disaster clause.
    If a healthy tre falls over in wind and damages your car or own property across a property line, its your insurance that picks up the bill not the tree's landowner.
    I found this out when trees came down near us a few years ago.
    The only case when a landover is liable for damage caused by a tree from their property would be after someone reporting to the council that they have a dangerous tree on their land and they have failed to get it felled or cutback.
    It then falls over and causes damage to a third party.
    That is the only kind of loss that is recoverable in this case.

    #2 I think the blue car was innocent, unlike the caption. The driver indicating right started indicating at around 1:04 and could have pulled out then, but instead pulled out at around 1:09 and into the middle lane at 1:11 when the blue car was almost alongside it, forcing that driver to take evasive action. If the black car had moved over sooner then the blue car could have changed lanes more smoothly and would probably not have lost control. I'm not even sure why the black car was changing lane - perhaps needing 5s to evaluate a move meant that they felt they were almost on the rear bumper of the lorry far ahead of them?

      Not necessarily. While it's possible that the blue car had bad tyres it could also simply have been a combination of too high speed, wet surface and bad steering.

There may have been a car in lane 3 preventing the blue car moving into lane 3, or they may have decided the indicating car didn't need to change lanes yet, or simply didn't want to switch lanes for the indicating car.
    Either way, the car should not have pulled out as they did while the blue car was overtaking.
