Should be renamed psycholists!!

That's not an Audi horn, more likely to be the transit van

Certainly not a police 'incident' or they would have closed the entire motorway for two days!!

That was a car horn. Bus horns are louder. Watch the car drivers hand.

⁠@@mistycat1954thank you, captain obvious… But for anyone interested in safety, they can use the footage to report this to the police.

@@mistycat1954the police do exactly that already. So yes you can use this footage if you liked.

@@mistycat1954 depending on the offence you may have to appear in court but in the case of the Mercedes it would be careless driving as a minimum which wouldn’t require the owner of the footage to appear in court. This is how police are currently prosecuting offenders with use of footage shared on social media, no longer requiring original footage or even the owner of the footage to appear in court. But regardless, if you are concerned with safety then do your bit and get a dashcam like the gentleman who owns the channel.

The Devon and Cornwall police have just done a campaign where they prosecute drivers based on video evidence. There were almost 500 convictions over a 3 month period, from under 1000 clips of video. There were several bans handed out, hundreds of points on licenses, and many thousands of £ of fines collected too. The police down my way a happy to have the general public do ½ their job for them it seems.

@@mistycat1954 I think the law has changed since you have last checked. Motorcyclists helmet cam footage has been used as evidence to prosecute dangerous driving following the death of said motorcyclist. I appreciate it may have required you to turn up to court in the past but it no longer does, depending on what you are prosecuting for of course. Police are now proceeding with prosecution with video evidence alone, many times taken from social media. Careless/dangerous driving wouldn’t require you to go to court.

Same in society in general, We have hundreds and hundreds more police, but where the hell are they?

@@dougaldouglas8842 Tories don't fund public services..Fact... I my first car was in 1991, and there was a copper on every street, and traffic coppers everywhere ( who would pull you over just for being young and adventurous in a Ford Capri at 9:30 at night.... and even though I didn't like it at the time, I so wish that it was the same now. Just look at the standard of driving now, and all these should be banned drivers get away with it day in day out....and enough said about people on their phones... All of the above that was wrong in the video, should be a minimum of a 5 year ban. Keys out, throw them in a river, walk home etc... rant over.

@@rufusharbud3673 Parliament is a twisted company of all rats, scurrying around. No party is any good than any other. We last had officer on traffic duty in the nineties, true and when coming home from work, late at night, my friend was always pulled over because he was young and was not supposed to have the expensive car that he had. Each night we would be pulled over, in the same place. Eventually officers got tired and left off, could not get anything on him. I grew up with the bobby on the beat, then come the eighties gone.

@@rufusharbud3673 Neither Tories or labour fund anything. It is the tax pay that does. If you want more police then we need to increase taxation.

​@@dougaldouglas8842they have to do all the paperwork processing anyone they nick which takes hours, that's why they seem to ignore a lot of illegal activity on the roads because they will have to do loads of paper work

I don't know, I've never understood it, mine sits in its cradle and doesn't move or even get touched unless the car is stationary in neutral with the handbrake active in a safe stopping area. i.e. laybys, parking spaces or my driveway. I have touched it once in my life while the car was still on a public road, and that was because I needed it to take photos of the damage caused by the women that rear-ended me at a red light. Other than that, there is nothing that can happen on my phone that is important enough to distract my attention away from the road. I used to use the hands-free Bluetooth system built in to my stereo, but that stopped working and I can't be bothered to set it up again so I don't even answer phone calls through the hands-free system anymore. It still connects the stereo to the Spotify account on my phone automatically and that is all I need it to do.

Because they are either too stupid to live or can't think further ahead than their next breath.

Mine goes in the glove box, and is switched off, nothing is that important that I will let it distract me.@@jollybodger

@@johndilloway9762 To be fair, mine is only in the cradle so I can see the name of the song that's playing, I use the steering wheel controls to skip songs but there is no display anywhere for the song names. So I use the phone screen for that since it displays them on the lock screen along with the clock. The clock in my car drops a minute every week so rather than keep updating it my phone sits on the dash in its cradle as a clock/currently playing song display.

It couldn’t be, it was overtaking other cars 🤣

@@smilerbob It couldn't have been Max Verstrappon either because nobody got barged off the road.

@@smilerbob 🤣

Hopefully the police has seen it.

I'm assuming a fellow Top Gear fan, nice reference mate😊

Wombles don't usually close down all lanes for a broken down car in lane one. Must be something else going on.

I'd say the same. It boggles my mind how someone can afford a brand new car like that but have the stupidity to drive it like that. I think to myself they are the suckers paying for the big depreciation of the car in its first few years

It was the bus driver, audi horns don't sound nothing like that

Its the idiot who is driving carelessly is the one who causes the problems. Nobody else.

It is of course possible that the M23 was closed for some other reason. There was a semi-naked man arrested for riding a scooter on the M23 that day.

Why not give way to pedestrians already on the carriageway?

Personally, i think parents should show children how to cross a road without endangering themselves and others.Commonsense really, but the trouble is there's a lack of it nowadays especially with the amount of traffic about and the low standard of drivers.

@@iancollins2325 But it is not up to us to tell people how to bring up their children. What is up to us as drivers is to respect that pedestrians have a right to be on the carriageway and understand that we are responsible for their safety and to not driving into them.

Safer than trunk A roads that do not have a hard shoulder though.

Sounded like the bus beeping probably because of the AA 🤐

Buses, coaches and trams. Give priority to these vehicles *when you can do so safely* Given the time the signal went on I think itnis unfair to expect a sudden stop and I don’t think hard braking would be classed as safely in this instance Additionally it isn’t a legal requirement to let them out, just advice so thay can keep to a regular timetable 👍

Just completely selfish and stupid c### and a danger on the road..

this. no pillars to obstruct view. just a turn of the eyeball. cyclists see far more in front of them than drivers

Agreed. I'll sometimes make such head movements for show for the benefit of drivers (i.e. so that they can see I've looked).

No he wasn't as he was the same speed as the car in front and catching up with the white van. There's very little point in lane jumping just for the sake of being in the left lane

​@@jonpriston8784👊🙌

@@jonpriston8784 He was catching up on the van for 13 seconds. After that the van was moving away faster and he stuck to lane 2 That is called lane hogging.

Then why is he undertaken by the BMW, I would suggest kittyhawk is correct!@@jonpriston8784

@@telmas7183 _"Then why is he undertaken by the BMW"_ But did you notice the cars in lane 3 slowing because of the incident? Nothing wrong with slowing down 5mph or so to ensure nothing is wrong on the carriageway, especially when you're being forced to undertake yourself. Circumstances.
