    I can't see the white car's brake lights come on at all. Are you sure?

    You're right. They dont seem to come on at all. Even when hes heading for the ditch. But the LCs come on a few times before it overtakes. Maybe because hes getting to close, maybe not.

    Certainly some shenanigans anyway!

    Sry, i thought people have theyr own eyes so i dont have to post longer title.
    Lada driver was slow at early stage, became a muppet when LC tried to take over him, finally got the lesson. Also i mentioned "russian style" that should explain all :D I also said i like this, was it video or situation itself, i didnt mention that. Looks like its very common here to jump on the OP-s whatever they post. Id say heres more rage and wickedness in this forum than in this video.
    Judge the video not the OP !
    If everybody were sheep like some posters would like us to be, the world would be a very boring and sad place :D

    Boards rage (despite all the injured egos) ain't half as bad as road rage! :)

    My point is, "slow" is purely relative in this context. If the little muppet was driving at or near the speed limit then the big muppet was even more at fault. The camera car was driving at the same speed as muppet #1 initially -- does this suggest that was the appropriate speed for the road?

    Sheep? There are much better ways of expressing individuality...

    And yes, we know thosse Rrosshuns are crazy, even the babushkas. :)

    you mean the vid or gun? Looks like a very likely vid and guns are fairly easily had there too.

    the vid is filmed from inside a police car. Google translate.

    did not finish video, because it was terrible. I'm always scared when next man with a gun (PSS). In such cases usually die for no reason and at the hands of one who has "more rights". In this situation, I do not want to give estimates.

    Man on the Toyota (which aim at a) very brazenly drove double-cropped PSS for rebuilding in the extreme right lane (which is the idea of going under the arrow), and then it turned out that he had to left, and he blocked the exit for everyone to go right. By myself I know it infuriates. But I do not have a gun and I read the mantra. A PSS can not read.

    This combination of circumstances that obscure Russian wheelbarrow (numbers on the video) was driving is not a simple man, but as he introduced "an element". A "Cops" - this man is not only a great moral duties, but also enormous opportunities gunshot.

    Dotogo, the camera was turned on PSS broke his foot mirror "racer" and it seems that the side window is also cracked. Before the shooting did not make it, but if the PSS in a short time someone pokolechit - do not be surprised.

    Someone with whom I rode at lunch trying to calm the raging and was scared that he too will fall under the distribution. Leaving, PSS asked him: "The jacket got dirty?" I told him that I am the police! "

    He accelerated as he was being overtaken. This is insanely stupid. If there was an artic coming around the corner, the land cruiser driver wouldn't have been able to pull in in time, and could have been killed in a head on collision.

    That lada driver is a moron.

    What corner are you referring to ? I didn't see any corner, also I reckon the Lada driver didn't accelerate to any great extent.

    Wo, wo... hold on a second. The guy in the land cruiser is a complete and utter idiot.

    It's obvious the leading lada and the following car are doing something similar to the limit on the road. The land cruiser is (very dangerously) leap frogging through what appears to be heavy enough traffic on the left lane. The opening seconds of the video have him pulling off a very stupid manoeuvre into a position that doesn't really exist. The following car has to let off a little to let him in.

    Straight away after overtaking landcruiser guy is right up behind the lada. This is something I've seen all over Irish roads. Idiots following way too closely and not being able to manage their speed adequately, hence the heavy breaking the landcruiser is doing.

    I don't think the lada was right to speed up, but he didn't deserve a breaktest for treating an asshole like an asshole.

    Did you see that big green lorry? Could easily have ploughed into that if he wasn't in the powerful car which he was.

    I reckon you are wrong. The LC seemed to effortlessly pass the initial car at the start of the video, indicating it is a powerful motor, and that when overtaking the driver gives it socks (as one should when they are overtaking). Yet when he goes to overtake the lada, he doesn't appear to pass it out with such ease. The lada pulls away from the videoing car in the clip, and yet we can hear the videoing car accelerate. Again, this would make us believe the lada wasn't just accelerating, but accelerating at a faster rate than the car behind.

    So that's why I reckon you are wrong.

    You said there was a corner. There was no corner.
    The LC is obviously a psycho having passed the camera car while a HGV was coming the other direction.

    Funny how so many people blame the small car for driving at his own pace and increasing speed only when bullied into it by the d1ck in the bigger car. Who might I point out overtook camera car with little room on the left i.e. his two right wheels were easily 2 feet right of the white line, he cut in tight in front of the CC, he didn't indicate, he overtook in the face of oncoming traffic, he was tight to the smaller car check out the shadows it looks like he is meer inches from the car (wouldn't you accelerate with someone that close behind), he overtook with out indicating, how do we know he wasn't flashing/gesticulating/beeping his horn whilst he was right up the smaller cars hoop.

    He then overtakes and STANDS on the brakes (note spelling of brakes people) forcing the following car to avoid him and crash off the road down the embankment.

    YET IT'S STILL THE SMALLER CAR'S FAULT. ARE YOU LOT FOR REAL !!!!!!:mad:

    Bullied into accelerating while he was being overtaken. Really? The LC driver pushed his foot to the floor did he?. Both drivers put each others lives at danger so both are utter idiots and reckless.

    Not condoning what the Lada did but the LC driver is obviously in the wrong here. In just over a minute he overtook dangerously, tailgated and brake tested another driver into crashing (and also looked like he didn't stop after the crash)

    That statement doesnt make any sense to me. If you dont condone what the lada driver did then he must have been in the wrong also? Both risked each others lives. If the LC driver had been smashed to oblivion by an oncoming lorry because the lada driver accelerated he would have caused a fatality. As it turns out the LC driver made in front of the lada and he also nearly caused the lada drivers death. Both wrong i think.

    And if the Lada had to brake suddenly, the LC driver tailgating him would have caused a fatality.
    In my opinion, in this incident the LC driver was at fault. He could have just ignored the Lada's actions but instead tried to teach him a lesson and brake test him. So, yes, I do believe the LC driver was in the wrong for the accident as the Lada driver didn't force him to slam on the brakes. I'm not saying that what the Lada did wasn't wrong, just in terms of the accident.

    Hows that life threatening ? :D Thats normal if you want to take over the car in front of you, you get as close as possible and when theres a chanse you just make your manouver. I couldnt see any threat to lada driver ... But maybe it is life threatening for people like you, when they see a bit faster car theyr legs start to shake and they look for the brake pedal straight away. Not in Russia :D
    It might be uncomfortable but defenately not life threatening.

    Hmmm and perhaps the Lada driver could have ignored the LC tailgaiting him and not sped up while the LC overtook. In terms of the accident the LC driver was wrong but they both put each other lives at risk.

    In terms of dangerous driving they are both guilty. The lada driver in this case got forced down the bank which is not nice but I would say he is ok. If the LC hadnt got in after the lada driver sped up it would have been a head on collision with a car going the opposite way. Probably fatality.

    Yes i know, only dumb breaks the 2 second rule. But we all know it never works if it comes to overtake another car.

    You should leave some space to the car in front so you can accelerate before pulling out to overtake, also gives you better view of road ahead


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,620 ✭✭✭✭dr.fuzzenstein


    The white car did exactly what many people here in Ireland do.
    Pull the brakes when you can't overtake, speed up when you can and generally make it as hard to overtake as possible.
    So, in short, the driver of the white car is possibly suffering from a mental disorder or he wouldn't have such issue with other road users.
    What he didn't bank on (and a lot of people here also don't), was that one day he might just pull his retarded sh*t on someone who is an even bigger looney.
    White car man does this stuff every day to a lot of drivers.
    They all think "No, I am not going to sink to his level and be mature about this"
    This validates white car guy's behaviour because the feedback he's getting is "go right ahead, do what you like, I'm not going to respond"
    So he becomes worse and worse and if unchecked, will keep doing it.
    After running into an even bigger psychopath than himself he might just realise "Oh wait, there are serious nutbags out there and if I keep doing this, one day I might not be so lucky as to escape unharmed".
    So hopefully he has learnt an important lesson. You fcuk with people long enough, you're going to meet someone who is going to fcuk you right back, so be careful out there.

    She could have rolled the white car, or swerved left not right, or gone straight into the LC.

    Its interesting that the only option for the LC you can think of is to get ahead. They could have slowed down and pulled in behind the white car.

    Hanging back works fine. Many don't have the patience to do it properly though. If you have to hang off someone bumper to get past, the speed difference, and opportunity must be very marginal for an overtake.

    If the white car did definitely accelerate when it was being overtaken he deserves to be run off the road like what happened.
    If you do stupid things accidents happen. Should have minded his/her own business.

    Let people past, and leave a gap for them to pull into. As soon as they are disappearing into the distance, it will make your journey more pleasant and safer. It makes no sense to bottle people up behind you.

    Who said it was a woman? I never said the only option was for the LC to get ahead. But if you are commited to overtaking someone speeding up beside you is hardly helpful is it? Would i be correct in saying that you think the LC is totally at fault here?

    But at the same time you could also say that if the LC hadn't been riding the Lada's rear bumper for a good while and just hung back, the Lada most likely wouldn't have been a douche and accelerated while being overtaken.
    I still stand by my assumption that the accident itself was the LC driver's fault.

    I might have been mistaken, the video is ambiguous and it is somewhat difficult to ascertain with 100% confidence whether or not there is a corner on the road ahead.

    However, as I'm sure you will accept, there can be no doubt as to the large, puke green lorry/truck which passed the cars in question shortly after the Land Cruiser had the opportunity to pull in. Correct?

    And I am sure you will also agree that had the Land Cruiser not had the opportunity to move in, as a result of the Lada driver accelerating, there could well have been a crash between said lorry and Land Cruiser, quite possibly fatal. Yes?

    lol :pac:
    It's quite obvious there was no corner, the LC driver no doubt saw the green lorry in the distance and just chanced it, he got away with it too with a bit to spare. And he had plenty of time to abort the overtaking move by easing off and pulling back in, which would only have been made easier if the Lada was accelerating, which I'm not sure he was. I reckon the car with the camera eased off to allow keep lots of space between him and the muppet in the LC.

    Put your nose in my business and I will do my best to murder you and everybody else in your car.

    Whoops!!
    I meant to say brake test instead of murder, how silly of me.

    It's quite obvious there was no corner, the LC driver no doubt saw the green lorry in the distance and just chanced it.

    He knows the power of his vehicle and it's accelerating capabilities, he obviously isn't on a suicide run so he wouldn't have pulled out if he thought he was going to hit the lorry.

    He would have 'got away with it' with much more to spare if it wasn't for the lada driver accelerating.

    And he had plenty of time to abort the overtaking move by easing off and pulling back in

    When accelerating it is much easier to keep accelerating to get past the car, rather then brake hard to merge back in with traffic behind you.

    if the Lada was accelerating, which I'm not sure he was. I reckon the car with the camera eased off to allow keep lots of space between him and the muppet in the LC.

    I already articulated in a previous post the reasons that led me to believe that the Lada was in fact accelerating. You chose to cut all that out to be pedantic over the shape of the road.
    If you still think that the lada was decelerating, please dissect my earlier post and I will gladly read your reasoning behind coming to such a conclusion.
