There was NO lane 2 ! He was overtaking across double whites.
If the camera truck accelerated (I only see him as being a constant distance from the car he is following) that is a fault.
Saying a car was “pushing him to go faster” or whatever is ridiculous, and it has disappeared during the overtake.
Overtaker seems to be able to get into lane, but chooses to do a second illegal overtake!?
He went for a bad and illegal first overtake, and didnt abort it when went belly up. He went for second bad and illegal overtake. He is a plonker of the premier division. If the camera truck did accelerate during the overtake, that is totally wrong, but doesnt explain why the overtaker didn`t back off and pull in. No sign of any tailgating car anywhere, and the overtaker being concerned for the safety of another road user seems a bit far-fetched given his on screen performance.What happens after 20sec mark, I won
t comment on. Ill leave that to Harry Carpenter…or Deborah Bull.If the incident took place where I think then it coming to the end of an uphill overtaking lane Van Vliet have generous limiters and run light DW man could have just eased her back a bit at the base of the climbing lane let Van Vliet go past and then for the rest of the 75 be safe in the knowledge that Van Vliet is going to rattle the police rather than him, if someone is running faster let them go makes it easier for yourself
How far do you take that logic?
If the V-V wasnt on a high limiter he wouldnt have even been that far up.
If he was running fast he was “in front of himself” anyway.
If a truck is on a high limiter, running light and still cant make a clean overtake, he needs to back off or get an even higher speed set. And that is the point here I think: there is no speed fast enough for this un. He wants it all, and then some more. He isn`t content with safe overtakes due to a higher speed etc, he is after everything.
If camera truck backs off a bit that lets V-V in, but maybe another fool would just follow V-V blindly. Should all but the fastest and lightest just park up?
Im exaggerating what youre saying of course.
Yeah, Ill back off to let a selfish idiot in to avoid the aggro, but that doesnt mean he is anything but a dangerous fool, expecting others to make up for his lack of ability.
