Dash cam footage can be quite interesting
Watching dash cam footage on youtube I find sometimes quite interesting
It amazes me people see and record accidents but don't stop. Turn into minor roads and hoot people that cross the road. I always thought it was give way to pedestrians crossing the road in these circumstance, aggh yes rule 170 of highway code. go to 8 mins 51 seconds on this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO6PUTThpEw In the above link the driver with the dash cam decides to go the wrong way round a roundabout. It is a mini round about and he turns right. He hoots the on coming car that does not stop at the mini roundabout and goes straight on. Well, if the dash cam driver had slowed down and gone around the roundabout, the oncoming car may have been well on its way before the dash cam got to that entrance. I find some of the footage quite amazing and think sometimes, the other driver deserved to have been rammed. macafee2 |

In the instance you mention, the car coming from the opposite side, was 'miles' off the roundabout when the cam car entered it, and whilst they were wrong, they would have cleared it had the cam car correctly negotiated the roundabout. In my eye, it would have been a 50/50 as the cam car cut the roundabout, but the opposing car did not stop. If the cam car had have proceeded correctly, the cam car would have been absolved in any incident.

HERE is a classic example, paused it at 8.43. This is what I call the triple whammy, a self righteous biker, not giving way then blaming the person already on the roundabout.

The Bini was was very hasty at the roundabout, however it was the biker who did it all wrong, revs loudly as it reaches the slowed Bini, which has had to slow because the Ka didnt exit the roundabout quick enough. The biker may actually have caused the issue by pulling in front of the Ka especially if it was turning right without indicating (although it doesnt look like it from the still). These videos are littered with instances such as this. Cars are worse for the mini roundabouts. Whilst bikers mistake overtaking for filtering, then get whiney when a car or van nearly crashes head on into them!

go to 6.19 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a18onMUQyVc&t=318s and listen to the commentary, what are your thoughts?

The actual video though, I felt he was a little too quick to enter the roundabout, as he didnt make an allowance for the car from the left being an idiot and not driving around the roundabout. This made the cam car come a little too close to the car from the left, and appear to be intimidating, even though the cam car did nothing wrong. I have two simple thoughts when driving (a bit of good sense in its implementation of course, as every situation is different of course). I drive intending not to impede or hinder with consideration for others on the road, and if you make me brake with your manoeuvre, you have done wrong to me. One thing I have noticed since I got my cameras, I adhere and pay more attention to speed limits as well as other road users.

HERE is a special driver. It is drivers such as these that need to have their licences removed.
I should add, I make mistakes, and am definitely not perfect, but I have become more aware of my mistakes when I do make them.

None of the drivers or riders gave way at the road markings, so all were wrong really. The ka and bini reached the lines at almost the same time, so if they kept moving, it would have been ok. The biker racing into the roundabout I think caused the concertina, by either impeding the ka from turning right or startling them, as.the slowed immediately on the roundabout.
