Was it a Spanish truck? Believe it or not, the official teaching over there is to go all the way round a roundabout in the outside lane. Bonkers stuff altogether.

Tried to find it on the mail on line website for more context but i gave up.

Edit: never mind... found it:

Its looks empty that road.
If the driver didnt have a dashcam whats stopping the driver just going around him and driving on?
Or actually running him over and leaving the scum there?

Woman was in her seventies and full of road rage.

She makes an appearance at the beginning but the real action starts at 2:20

Ah ok, he was driving for gwynedd shipping, based in Holyhead. I'm guessing they do a lot of business over here

The thing that pisses me off about that truck clip is the van throwing his 'right of way' indicator on cutting off the truck. It's common for trucks to be carrying 20,000kg+ of extremely hazardous chemicals. The shipping/warehouse agents don't always load them securely and some products may get loose/damaged in transit or maybe are stacked incorrectly on top of each other and will fall over.

People are so unaware they could be driving down the M50 next to a truck containing chemicals that will kill you if you breathe them in, will ignite at contact with air or even explode at room temperature.

The thing that gets me is they people drive around them like they're just another car on the road. The size of a 40ft doesn't phase them, despite being much smaller in a car. They don't respect the space they need or the stopping distances.

In fairness, the professional truck driver has a higher duty of care than the private motorist. Such duty of care would put a higher expectation on the truck driver to choose the correct lane to exit the roundabout and not expect everyone else to keep their distance in case the cargo is hazardous!

Lightworks. There's a free verson, that's easy to use.

Will give it a go. And see that happens

Found it similar to Sony Vegas. Can only do basic stuff with it, however there are videos explaining some more advanced stuff.

Would do a bit of damage to your passenger window if you were cruising beside him

Always wonder why people drive like this risking an accident, penalty points and damage to your car to get one car ahead. I ended up behind him at the lights at Blanchardstown village 5 or 6 minutes later so all to no avail.

I see a lot of dodgy driving on the Ongar distributor road, between the roundabouts and long straights it brings out all manor of muppets.

I used the method in this video for downloading movie maker when I upgraded my laptop, The last step in the video is crucial to make the movie maker work properly...

Absolutely. I would not be going down this route of installing legacy software from dodgey sources.

I use shotcut:

https://shotcut.org/

Free, runs on almost everything. I run it on my linux box and it works well. I only use it to trim and splice footage. Nothing more. Although it does allow you to do a lot more.

She probably assumed you were going right, as you were in the inner lane?

I'd say it installs a bit of malware onto your system.

Plenty of suggestions here https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057832769

I've been playing around with Adobe Premiere Pro CC lately and find it very powerful and relatively easy to navigate - example.
