    I played it back a couple of times and it looks more like the car just squeezes in between the sign. I can't seem to find anything on this on google, despite the video telling us where this was. But at the same time, this would be a very good fake and I fail to see why someone would go through all that effort for something so meaningless...

    It must be a fake - there isn't any reaction from the cam driver - I think I'd be slowing down a bit if that happened in front of me?

    Not having a go at you, bladespin or blaming you.
    But thanks to speed checks everywhere, no one is overtaking the safest way: as quickly as possible. Move lane, speed up, move back. Slow down. Done.

    The problem with this is, and I notice this a LOT because I travel with on cruise control, I end up overtaking the same car multiple times along a stretch of motorway. The reason is they are doing as you say, but then they slow down slower than I am, so I've to overtake them again, and rinse and repeat. Surely varying your speed so often on a motorway is more dangerous than maintaining a constant speed?

    In my experience it is people who arent on cruise control who go from 120 to 110 and back to 120 when there is some hills to overcome which indeed results in overtaking the same person several times.

    Which is entirely possible as that roundabout is the size of a football pitch

    But the looks of it on Google maps, it is also not the first time this happened, in 2015 there was 1 more sign.

    he clearly had a blind spot when pulling out to overtake.

    a silly mistake but hardly an arsehole

    Travelling at a constant 120 and never overtaking is safest, but if you're travelling at 120 and come up behind someone going 110, you can either reduce your speed or overtake, if you're overtaking it's safer to reduce the amount of time spent overtaking so you might accelerate to 140, except that's not allowed for some reason.

    A good example of the blind spot indeed.
    At the same time you can ask the question whether C5 did check his mirrors again after he had left home that morning.
    At the speed OP is going he can hardly have surprised the C5 the way you can get surprised on the German motorways. 1 second there is nothing, the next someone doing 250 is on you arse.

    Well if everyone is maintaining a constant speed, then overtaking can be planned a lot further back in advance. In a perfect Autonomous car world, every car would be doing a constant 120km/h on the motorway and there would never be a need for overtaking.

    Hard to be sure, but to me it looks like the cam vehicle stopped partially on the carriageway.

    Not that it matters a lot but i think it is a police car.

    If his mirrors were positioned correctly he wouldn't have a blind spot.

    in situations like that I keep an eye on my rearview mirror so I'd know a car is moving out to overtake.

    Totally pissed, having a stroke while on the phone is my guess. No way you drive that bad if you only have 1 of those 3 going on.

    Shock I imagine but the car that hit the police car, (positioned to protect the stopped car) made a right balls of reversing.
