Been away for a while guys but thought I'd pop in to share this gem:

 

 

As per the description he's been convicted finally! Idiot.

 

 

Good outcome! How come it took so long?

 

Seems that the police/CPS are a bit inconsistent with how they handle such cases. Driver in the clip below only got a driving course as punishment (start at 3 minutes ish) and it took about 6 months to sort:

 

 

[Phil-E]

They messed around for a while then had a court date a few months back.

 

I turned up for it (and so did he) but the previous case was running behind so it was cancelled.

 

Then the next available date was 2nd of march. I was out of the country so couldn't attend but it appears he pleaded guilty anyway.

 

They're been pretty tough on antisocial driving in North Yorkshire and they have "Operation Spartan" where they are willing people to report this type of behavior.

 

Wish I hadn't bothered in a way though as it causes a load of hassle. But glad it's finally finished and he's been taken care of.

@Phil-E

Did you find out through the court case what had caused him to be such an arse and do what he did??

Easy he hates Saabs, drives a pokey corsa & thinks his d1ck is bigger than everyone else's & want to prove it.....

 

Seen to many of this attitude when I lived in South London..

[Phil-E]

I never actually attended the case in the end as unfortunately I was offered a job interview for the same date and obviously had to priorities that over this.

 

And yes my guess is above. Young lad, first car thinks he's a big man and better than everyone else and needs to go out of his way to prove it.

 

I looked up the details of the car and it's a 1.0! He was obviously jealous of the mighty twin turbo! hehe

[mac11irl]

Ive driven a couple of 1.0 corsas.

God they are terrible.

[Phil-E]

Woah. Just looked it up.

 

59bhp and 88nm of torque!

 

vs

 

180bhp and 400nm of torque.

 

I'm surprised I could keep up with him.

 

I've also noticed it's suddenly taxed and insured again.

[Hyphons]

Not often I post here anymore! Was in the wrong for merging in front of him?

Not too sure why there's that much emphasis on 'merge in turn' when you'd just undertook him a few yards earlier!

So, in answer to your question and with regard to the circumstances leading up to it - yes you were in the wrong.

Thanks John, I'll hold my hands up if that's the case, although I think we can agree Mr Ford driver shouldn't have rode in the back of my boot for the next mile! I'll let off in future and merge behind, I just didn't think it was a problem of merging ahead as the way I perceived it, there was a gap for me to merge into and I wasn't forcefully pushing myself in front of him, I suppose it's also a bit of an odd merge as most merge from the right and not from the left. 

[john999boy]

Some of my favourite proverbs which can have driving related links.

 

If in doubt, don't.

Pride comes before a fall.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

 

All have a relevance in your situation I think.

 

Here endeth the lesson lol.

@Hyphons - The lane you're in is marked "Ahead and left turn" when I can see its markings. I can't see the markings for the RH lane, but presume it's either "Ahead only" or "Ahead and tight turn" from the actions of other traffic. So the Ford driver has "done nothing wrong". OTOH if you look closely at the Ford's nose as you move right it dips so you've forced it to brake. I was always taught that "forcing another road user to change course or speed" is wrong.

Yes I completely agree with you mate, my only concern was, knowing it was merge in turn, the driver that was to my right would have slowed and allowed myself to merge in turn, but this has already been pointed out that I should have actually merged behind and not in front, I myself in the other drivers shoes, would have been slowing the second I saw I wasn't going left and only going straight on

@Aspman - 1st 20s {multiple censored}

 

After that - I can see why a BMW driving CLOGie didn't want us to watch that!

[Ootohere]

  Why?,

within speed limit.

 

The Powrie Brae, (well named) & the roundabout for tail out on the way north,

& for many unexpected 4 wheel slides heading into Dundee.

[Aspman]

I thought I'd forgotten to disable the sound recording. I'd have thought a few choice words would be said for that numpty.

 

Powrie Brae is no fun now with the average speed cameras on.

[petrolbloke]

Been quiet in here recently!

 

Here's one of mine from today:

 

 

[Phil-E]

Yes very quiet so thought I'd share this little one from a few weeks back:

 

 

Would have been fine if he just got on with it and accelerated but he panicked and stopped!

[mac11irl]

@petrolbloke

 

At least he flashed after it...

Yeah, that always totally excuses bad driving! 

[dan4291]

A few from me: -

 

A Plumb Center van goes right across me as I'm turning right at the roundabout, forcing me to slam on the anchors.

 

 

 

Don't know what this dog owner was thinking allowing his dog to walk into the road as I'm heading towards them, had to swerve round the dog, wasn't impressed.

 

 

 

With my indicator on nice and early (fully functioning and clearly audible) that wasn't enough for the driver of this Fiesta who didn't even brake!
