hero overtakes saddo jobsworth who has no doubt been on the front door for about 3 weeks holding everyone up. as he can anchor on last min if need be,anyone else on the road at that time of night will be a import out on the rob,so wheres the loss…hero knows the road,knows the roundabout,can see theres no way anyone can run into him,no risk,job done.spin on that jobsworth. jobsworth dosent like it and throws the toys out of the pram.thats what it looks like to me,( obviously looks different to the sanctimonious crowd though)…i know what one id be offering a job to.( on trip money of course)…

Wow 4 pages in this lol.You can get the camera speed. The white lines approaching a hazard are a total of 9000mm apart. That’s is to say the start of the line and the length of the gap.
40mph = 17,881mm per sec.
That is approximately a line, gap, line, gap and half a line.
Just to throw something else into the mix.
Go on, what are you trying to say? Because after five pages now lol, nobody has brought this into the equation.

Limit was 40 max and if car was doing that speed then only one driver to blame and he’s driving the truck.Just have to hope you don’t come across him/her on the road.
This.
The cretin is going to seriously hurt/kill somebody one day.Let’s hope it’s none of our loved ones,eh ?
Fully agree with this. I know some on here say keep your nose out etc. but sometimes you have to make the call to inform their company. I have done it twice, first time was a bloke weaving between lane 1 and the hard shoulder. When I passed him he was making a cuppa and watching a film on his laptop! Second time was the other day. Going through the roadworks on the north side of the M25 when I saw a 7.5ton Daf flying up in lane 3. He then began weaving between the cars undertaking until he caught up a low loader in lane 2. He then tried to force his way past, again in lane 3 until at J25 he dived across to the slip road cut round the inside and back on narrowly missing the front of the low loader. I got the number off the truck and reported him to his company. I just hope he loses his licence before he kills someone. People like that give us all a bad reputation.

Hang on a bit… no-one is defending the interlink driver- he made a grave error - what we are saying as a professional driver (sic) the other driver could and should have reduced the risk to himself and other road users by simply backing off and letting the idiot in, by not taking action in my view he has only added to the situation, where he could if he chose to stepped back and made an opportunity for the actions of the idiot to be less dangerous for everyone else.I would have backed off as hard as I could. let him in before the roundabout- and at the same time called him every name under the sun- if someone had come the other way by doing so I may have stopped the muppet hitting them
and that’s what makes the difference, you cant control what other people do on the road, but you have control of what you can do to mitigate their actions - if you cant or don’t want or have this macho thing that they screwed up therefore you don’t need to do anything, get of my roads because your as dangerous as they are.
There only needs to be a vehicle turning from the roundabout junction to his right and he/she is totalled by this moron
,how the hell is he meant to back off so close to a roundabout,let him in and brake to a reasonable speed for the junction,get real!!!,this interlink driver is a 110% to blame and does not deserve to get behind the wheel ever again… Dash cam man has every right to keep to his position,especially approaching a junction… The consequences of this jerks actions could have been catastrophic,i`m still at a loss as to why you guys are defending him and blaming someone who is not doing anything wrong…dash man couldnt have known this numpty was going to do this until pretty much 2 or 300 yards from the roundabout so no blame at all can be attached to him as it was too close to take any action without endangering himself… Again those who blame dash cam man for not backing off,I despair of you !!!
Are you a complete imbecile/standing in for one/ hoping for a reaction with your idiotic ramblings? Read this slowly and it just might sink in ; NOBODY IS DEFENDING THE INTERLINK DRIVER! Do you understand that?
Indeed what the concensus seems to be from people who actually do the job rather than merely troll is that the Interlink driver made an inexcusable and potentially fatal mistake, however (and the bit you fail so miserably to grasp) is that dash cam man did absolutely nothing to alleviate the situation. Did he have to? Absolutely not, but why would he willingly put himself in a potentially dangerous position merely because his pig headedness convinced him he was in the right? A truly professional driver makes allowances for the actions of other idiotic road users. He may not like doing it, but it’s one of the things that separates true pros from people like you dash cam man!
Yeah, I know it was you ya numpty
Just out of interest,anyone who has done years of driving,must have encounted the situation where someone starts to overtake you,approaching a bend and you think “If anything comes now we have got trouble”. You are ready for it,ease off,foot hovering over brake pedal,and sure enough fast approaching vehicle appears.Most times you and the on-coming vehicle brake,and the overtaker gets in,but a few times I have braked and so has the overtaker creating a very awkward situation.!
So what do you reckon,brake or maintain speed? I am not taking the “you got your self into this you get yourself out of it” attitude,but just wondered what other people thought about the situation
Regards John
looks like dash cam man had no intention of backing off and on approach to the island and brakes later than the interlink wagon giving him no option but to go the wrong way.also theres diversions signs after the exit from the island so maybe isn’t a route they know. but in all honesty both are a pair of weapons that shouldn’t hold a vocational licence
The Interlink driver is a complete waste of oxygen and shouldn’t be allowed on the road.
Dash cam man was clearly ‘holding him out there’ (i’d have prepared to back off the minute he appeared in the mirror) and also shouldn’t be allowed on the road.

Lol. I was tired and so missed some off. If you can view a time scale for the video, you can roughly calculate the speed mr cam man was travelling at. Unless he was doing 40 on that single carriageway, then I guess he’s no better than the guy driving the interlink truck. People in glass houses and all that.
