It was, and rightly so too. Only so long society can go on with these guys knowing they just have to jump on a bike and they're away scot free.

Yep it was. London is rampant with moped gangs. Police have taken on a tactic now to stop them with force. Good enough for the rats.

100%. I'm a motorcyclist and there's tons of reports on UK motorbike forums of bikes being stolen in London, sometimes even hijacked by these lads on mopeds. It's mad.

loads of the those idiots do not know how to read the road ahead.

The one at 3:04 they’d plenty of chance to let them in.

I don't watch those UK car cam videos anymore. When I see a new post on this thread I come here hoping to find that it's Aussie, Russian or Polski Drogi stuff., only to find that waste of space.

Anything that needs clickbait stuff like "OMG" of "HUGE CRASH" with loads of shocked emojis can fuck right off.

I think the lack of "spectacular" crashes from the UK sites, is basically showing just how safe the roads there actually are, despite the morons who get their "15 seconds of fame" on a youtube channel.
The Stop Cham videos tend to show that Polish drivers will not back down, even if their actions will cause a crash, because they're "right!" and will crash to enforce that right.
It seems to me that about 90% of crashes recorded are caused by one or more drivers simply not paying attention, the remainder usually caused by drivers who disregard the rules and get owned, more so in Russia it appears.

Cerco

Maybe the lockdown is having a big effect on the traffic volumes, so fewer incidents.

Some of the HGV cams are very entertaining though.

There's less of the "driving to get a video" thing going on.

Think Stop Cham is one of the best channels on youtube

Suburban Nashville according to YouTube.

It would be interesting to find the street on Street View to see where he would have ended up.

[No location yet, but I have a name ]

In metro Nashville, freezing rain and snow have kept many locals inside, but some, including Adam Schwegman, had to leave their homes despite the weather. The Franklin dad was headed to pick up his daughter from a sleepover before he became a victim of the black ice that has blanketed most of the area roads this week, according to CNN.

The dad said the Nest video that captured his slide down the hill near his home did not show the thick sheet of ice on the street. He estimated that his Ford pickup slid about 150 yards before it came to a stop.

He feared it would crash, but he said he remained cool as the ice took him for a ride. Once the truck stopped, he was able to drive slowly and carefully to snag his daughter from her friend’s house. When the man returned home with his daughter, he told CNN that he learned his lesson and parked at the bottom of the hill.

When you've stolen videos from every other streamer just crop the sides off so they can't see their logo's and re-encode it so it looks like you filmed it on a spud

Hope they throw the book at the truck driver

Apart from the legalities of being in the outside lane there was no reason for him to be even in it

Agreed, the garda should be cracking down on elephant racing on all motorways but lane 3 on the M50 should involve the lorry getting impounded - it would cut out that crap overnight!

Personally I never stay in the location the car did, as much as the truck may be the one in the wrong, knowingly leaving myself in a trucks blind spot is a bad place to be. I don't want this to sound like victim blaming, but better roadcraft by the car driver would have prevented this incident.

Sitting in a truck's blind spot is beyond stupid, at that point you are relying on the driver having seen you previously and remembering to watch for you to appear in front or behind the cab.

Let's face it, the most likely scenario is that he was in lane 3 because of the same car dawdling or speed-slow-speed-slow in the middle lane.

Every driver of large vehicles has had these muppets speed match them when you try to overtake, just sitting there alongside as you are on the limiter, it only takes one occasion of losing track of the hidden car and you are punting someone off the road at high speed.

Im sorry now but calling the victim of that incident a muppet is pretty pathetic. Every driver needs to show patience and cannot expect to dictate their own speed whenever they want, its a terrible excuse or attempt at justifying the truck drivers actions. The laws are clear and that truck driver had no business being in that lane, and had every reason to expect that car in his blind spot since he was the overtaking and faster moving vehicle.

Bad driving on both parties, the lorry being in lane 3 was illegal, but the MLM is the architect of the crash by not letting the lorry overtake, he should have been in lane one.

Hard to see how he could be in Lane One seeing as he was passing another artic at the time.

Completely disagree, the car was in the middle lane with traffic in the inside lane. He didnt pull up the inside of the truck, the truck put the car in his own blindspot through his own actions in overtaking illegally. He would have seen the car before it entered his blindspot.

Its gaslighting to suggest equal blame and calling out the car driver as the architect of the incident.

That clip says its a fatal collision. :mad:

A huge portion of the Stop Cham Polish compilations are of bullying by overtakers. Seems to be a case of "get out of my way or get hit" attitude.

From the video presented, we see the car in the middle lane and a truck in the outside lane. They enter the video at around the 2s mark. 30s later the truck and the car are still in the same positions, the car and the truck are clearly maintaining the same speed.

As a car driver, I minimise the amount of time I spend on the inside of a truck, especially if I'm alongside the cabin. I certainly wouldn't be happy maintaining that position for 30s, I'd either speed up or back off to remove myself from the dangerous situation. Good roadcraft is not about being correct, it's about being aware of the hazards around you, and taking actions to reduce the risk to you and other road users.

I dont think its bullying there, its an east european thing of im in a hurry and theres a clear lane or space ahead.

It is when you claim "ownership" of the opposite lane and forcing the other driver to play chicken.

Absolutely agree. You would have to question the truck drivers aware of said hazards and ultimate decision to:

1. Enter the overtaking lane
2. Maintain the same speed as the drivers in the middle line while sitting in the overtaking lane
3. The complete lack of awareness on his part to understand that the car he was looking to overtake was still beside him.

While the car indeed should have been more aware of the issue, it is quite possible that he was maintaining vigilance of the cars and trucks on the inside lane who had just merged onto the motorway and could well have pulled into his lane.

While he made a minor error in judgement the truck driver is guilty of much more and I would be surprised if he doesnt end up with a disqualification for that incident.

Leaving aside the legalities, He would be on his Limiter and slowing to drop back and pull in behind isn't as easy as it sounds. If you've a blind spot with a car in it, there could well be another car behind that one. If a car foolishly sits alongside a truck like that in whatever lane, he's putting himself at risk and he's the one who needed to sort out the road positioning as the trucker possibly wasn't able to (due to that blind spot).
