@@spychopath There's nothing in the Highway Code about who has right of way or who should yield. "Merging in turn is recommended but only if safe and appropriate when vehicles are travelling at a very low speed, e.g. when approaching road works or a road traffic incident. It is not recommended at high speed." That's it, that's the extent of the guidance.

@@richardt3371 From insurance point of view the gray van would be in the wrong, Had an incident at that very place 5 years ago blue skoda thought he'd be clever like the gray van and traffic was bumper to bumper, gave them the footage and the skoda was found at fault 100% (Had front, side and rear cam's at that point so no view points was missed).

@@ravensthorne4631I didn't notice the junction initially. Although I didn't see any sign warning about it? Just on a wee phone screen which may not help. my initial view without the junction was it was a good overtake and the BMW was a tool.

funny how black van driver is asking for dashcam footage when he's obviously in the wrong: see the road marking indicating right lane has to merge left, not the other way around.
White van's front wheels were past the end of the merge point before the black van too - meaning the black van entered his lane and cause the collision.
we have seen this clip before plus the black van was well ahead of the white van. the white van sped up to box him out how you can say it's the black vans fault is beyond me
Technically neither party has priority at a merge in turn so unless one party can be proven to have been driving more dangerously than the other it'll be 50 50 on the insurance. In this clip, neither party gave priority and neither drove 'dangerously' so it'll be split liability for both being thick.
Unfort, people see bus and "must" get ahead of them at any cost. According to the Highway Code, drivers should give priority to buses, coaches, and trams when they are signaling to pull away from stops, if it is safe to do so. This is rule 223 of the Highway Code.
Here in australia, we'll in queensland where I am at least, it's actually a road law that if a bus is indicating to leave a stop, we MUST let it pull out. There's even reminder stickers on the back of the busses saying "it's not courtesy, it's the law"
The road is completely clear.... Anyone joining the road needs to checks it's safe before joining. Overtaking 3 cars is a bit excessive but also not illegal. BMW driver didn't check their mirror.

It will always be the fault of the car pulling out of the junction if a collision occurs. That’s the whole point of the give way markings. There are many reasons why someone would be on the wrong side of the road; Potholes. Tractors. Broken down vehicles. Debris in the road. What if it was an ambulance, or police car. What if there was a large hgv occupying both lanes. You should ALWAYS look left for any of the reasons listed above. However 99% of people look right whilst still moving. See it’s clear and put their foot down. Only to swerve when they see a car coming towards them. LOOK, BOTH, WAYS
Merging lanes are usually 50/50 unless clear fault proved of one of the drivers as both drivers must ensure the merge is safe. In this case grey van driver seems more at fault as the white van let in the car that was slightly in front, yet the grey van tried squeeze in and led to a collision
I feel like so many people on the roads don't understand merge in turn. The number of times I've been ahead of someone in the correct position and someone has tried to get ahead of me is staggering.
It's not that no one understands it, everyone does, just that if you try to bully your way through most people will let you, so people try it. It's one of the benefits of driving a banger, I don't care if someone tries to drive into me.
1:36 If both the BMW and Charlie had a little prang, it would serve them both right. Overtaking at a junction, Charlie overtaking three cars, BMW not using mirrors. Would love to know how fast Charlie was going there as well. 9:25 Lot of people asking what the black mark in the sky is...it's just the sun. It's too bright for the camera and is overloading the sensor.
The number of people commenting who blindly get into situations like Charley explains why there are so many accidents. Doesn’t the theory test kids take nowadays include a few hazard awareness clips?
@@timmyj4844 Only after you've hung around long enough for other people to see you coming, and taken notice of the 'junction approaching on the right' sign at the beginning of the clip.

@@beasty7063 The BMW that pulled out although later, would have still have a clearer vision INTO the junction to see if there was anything there. This car also wasn't doing as much speed as Charlie P so would of had more time to react. Not a good situation for anyone, but Charlie P takes the award for biggest dickhead.
@@dacabe1 you find where it says in the law that is illegal to over take 3 cars at once on a country road. So you contradict yourself by saying charle p was dangerous for it but the bmw did the exact same thing but makes it worse by not indicating or checking mirrors like come one man.
The left hand lane is for the 1st exit and or straight ahead, the right lane is for 3rd/4th exit, unless signage or markings suggest otherwise, as you pointed out there are no markings so the car in the right hand lane was at fault...... This is kinda basic stuff for the driver to be getting wrong
2:25 yes it was a bad overtake but HW code 168 Being overtaken. If a driver is trying to overtake you, maintain a steady course and speed, slowing down if necessary to let the vehicle pass. Never obstruct drivers who wish to pass. Speeding up or driving unpredictably while someone is overtaking you is dangerous. Drop back to maintain a two-second gap if someone overtakes and pulls into the gap in front of you.
Many use the term “merge in turn” to mean “I want to get car nearer to the front.” It’s a fear of missing the opening credits of Coronation Street in most of them.
3:12 isn't being cut up. If a guy is indicating he wants to move into the gap in front of you for a couple of seconds before you purposefully accelerate to cut him off it's you that is the one at fault, not the other guy.
2:20 Christian L notices someone overtaking dangerously, so calls him a wanker and closes the gap a bit to make it even more dramatic and dangerous. Congratulations on joining him as a wanker.
I don’t think he was even overtaking dangerously, when he started the manoeuvre he had an out, it was a straight road with good visibility, but Christian decided to create the danger by trying to close the gap when traffic was coming the other way.
1:36 HC162 Before overtaking you should make sure 1) the road is sufficiently clear ahead 2) road users are not beginning to overtake you 3) there is a suitable gap in front of the road user you plan to overtake. Failed on 1 & 3. 1:41 HC167 DO NOT overtake where you might come into conflict with other road users. For example o approaching or at a road junction on either side of the road Failed on that one. Three breaches of the Highway Code in 5 seconds. Had there been an accident how do you think the magistrates would have interpreted it?
1:39 There was about 1 second between when Charlie could have possibly become visible to the other car, time that was probably spent by the other driver looking back to the front from having looked in his side mirror. When will people like Charlie learn that you've got to give people time to see you.- pull out (keeping the same speed), take a beat to check that it's clear and give other people time to see you, only then start accelerating into the overtake. Swooping out having already accelerated is asking for the kind of near miss Charlie engineered for himself. Also, don't overtake when there's a junction coming up - Charlie missed the sign because he was already too busy accelerating.
IN the last clip I'd like to know why Tyler M thinks the right entry lane is right turn only. I can't see any road markings or other signs to say that (confirmed on google maps) and it's not in The Highway Code Looks like he made an assumption, went for a silly undertake and got it wrong The only thing the other car did wrong was not indicate left (as far as I can see) to leave the roundabout - but anyway Tyler was well alongside him by the time he would have indicated. He didn't indicate right either so could have been expected to go straight on I reckon Tyler would cop most liability for that one
Tyler M, Last clip. You are a liar pal, i have just put your coords into google maps, that lane is not marked at all. And as you under took him, completely your fault. Bellend.
Roundabouts with no markings are to be considered as follows; left lane for left turn and straight on. Right lane for right turn only. Try looking at the Highway Code before commenting such nonsense…bellend
@@ReeceJCoxy Wrong pal, left lane, left turn or straight on, right lane, right or straight on. I suggest you check the highway code. Why did he undertake to ?or maybe it was you who uploaded the clip. also did you actually read his comment ? that the lane was marked right turn only ? dickhead, it wasn.t marked right only.
@ReeceJCoxy That is not what the HWC says. Perhaps you should read it again. Unless road signs or markings dictate otherwise, when taking an intermediate exit, use the most appropriate late 👍
6:07 give footage to both drivers in future! If the persons legal team you gave it to thinks it would make them lose, it wont be shown. Give it to both, then it will get used as evidence.
Both sides are required to disclose to the other side material in their possession that might undermine their own case - Civil Procedure Rules 31.6(b)(i).
2:18 Christian, your commentary tells us that you'd noticed what was happening, so you should have been slowing and growing the gap to reduce danger for everybody involved and enabling the errant overtaker to get back to the correct side of the road sooner.
4:50 lol that guy had plenty of room to get between cammer and guy in front but nooooooo he didnt want to do that noooooooo, asking if he has footage lol.
Agreed. The window cleaner van moved forward into space in his own lane (now ahead of the black van), and as the merge arrows appeared on the right-hand lane, both the black van and at least 2 cars in front of him were still not attempting to merge, so they effectively gave up the opportunity to merge in front of the window cleaner. Then the black van decided to try and merge in front of the other van any way. The window cleaner could have easily held back at this point, but the black van was wrong to continue as he did. Both to blame to some extent, but majority fault lies with the black van.
Mostly? Defo 100%. If I do a merge-in like this I always merge in behind a car if someone is already merging infront. Not just for polite driving but also he could have easily seen the white van wasnt budging and there's no reason to fight it when people behind are holding back
@3:58 according to Blackbelt Barrister they are both in the wrong. No-one has right of way and both drivers should have anticipated the situation. (Highway codes 133-143)
4:26 approx. ‘Alastair H’ was the moment at which you should’ve (a) ‘undertaken’ the Iveco, (b) smiled sweetly (not smugly), (c) carefully thread yourself twixt both vans & been about your day. You’re a good lad. Ask yourself, ‘do you REALLY need all the hassle’?🤔😉✌️
The two van merge the Iveco van could have just eased off rather than trying to barge his way through. Last clip were there and road markings/signs to state that ?
So many drivers not adjusting their driving to the wet conditions - 2:30 is a classic example of several in this video. Shame on the lot of them - they could wipe out totally innocent motorists. 😡
Peter C can be a heard indicating right at the start of the clip. The two that pulled out probably thought you were turning left earlier. Indicate closer to where you are turning off.
1:36 "Poor mirrors " !!! it would have been game over for you both if anyone had turned left out of the juction on the right, bad judgement by the cam car im afraid
The irony of Sean C @ 2:40 complaining about someone cutting across to turn left, when he is in the wrong lane himself 😂 Lefthand lane is for the the junction and heading onto the bypass, not to continue around the island.

9:30 nobody addressing wtf was in the sky 😂
Merging lanes are usually 50/50 unless clear fault proved of one of the drivers as both drivers must ensure the merge is safe. In this case grey van driver seems more at fault as the white van let in the car that was slightly in front, yet the grey van tried squeeze in and led to a collision
I'd suggest the big grey van didn't leave the space for the white one to merge
I feel like so many people on the roads don't understand merge in turn. The number of times I've been ahead of someone in the correct position and someone has tried to get ahead of me is staggering.
It's not that no one understands it, everyone does, just that if you try to bully your way through most people will let you, so people try it. It's one of the benefits of driving a banger, I don't care if someone tries to drive into me.
1:36 If both the BMW and Charlie had a little prang, it would serve them both right. Overtaking at a junction, Charlie overtaking three cars, BMW not using mirrors. Would love to know how fast Charlie was going there as well.
9:25 Lot of people asking what the black mark in the sky is...it's just the sun. It's too bright for the camera and is overloading the sensor.
Lol @ 3:55 Alastair H commentary on the two van drivers merging... "oohhhhhh...... ohhhhhhhh..... the mirrors have hit" 😂
charlie P ... speeds up .. not expecting anyone else to do the same . on a over take
That’s irrelevant, regardless of what Charlie P was doing. They should’ve looked at their mirror before.
@HUMUNGASbetter to get the overtake done as quickly as possible rather than hang around on the wrong side of the road?
Overtaking three cars, past a right turn! What a knob!!
The number of people commenting who blindly get into situations like Charley explains why there are so many accidents. Doesn’t the theory test kids take nowadays include a few hazard awareness clips?
@@timmyj4844 Only after you've hung around long enough for other people to see you coming, and taken notice of the 'junction approaching on the right' sign at the beginning of the clip.
1:40 go faster next time, you will make it before anyone can think of any manoeuvre.
Or better still, dont overtake in the first place
Overtaking 3 cars on a junction Charle P are you just trying to kill yourself or multiple people 😮
you say this however the bmw decided to pull out even closer to the junction then charle p did. the bmw would have seen it sooner then charle did. but no mention of that in your comment
@beasty7063
Doesn't make either manoeuvre acceptable
@@beasty7063 I was commenting on the video submitted by the cammer showing their bad driving I'm sorry I didn't comment to your liking 🤣
@@beasty7063 The BMW that pulled out although later, would have still have a clearer vision INTO the junction to see if there was anything there. This car also wasn't doing as much speed as Charlie P so would of had more time to react.
Not a good situation for anyone, but Charlie P takes the award for biggest dickhead.
@@dacabe1 you find where it says in the law that is illegal to over take 3 cars at once on a country road. So you contradict yourself by saying charle p was dangerous for it but the bmw did the exact same thing but makes it worse by not indicating or checking mirrors like come one man.
What's the cyclist at 6:43 raising their hand for? They should give way at a junction!
Didn’t you know?
Bicyclists have no rules/laws.
Red lights, speed limits, manslaughter, etc, they’re entitled to everything. 👍
In the dark too. Utter prat.
He probably raised his hand because nobody could see him.
Because certain cyclists think they're in the right, the rules of the road don't apply to them and everyone else must accommodate them!
He/she has raised her hand to say sorry - she’s not a confident rider on the road, realised she’d made a mistake and said sorry - that’s all.
7:15 how did I know that the car coming through way after the temp lights had changed was going to be a Range Rover?
You didn't. That was a discovery not a range rover lol
10:02 I don’t see any right turn markers, so you are at fault for trying to undertake to make a point. I hope you were found at fault Tyler M
Plus they sped up trying to undertake

@@malcwhite and were so eager to toot their horn they failed to avoid an accident.
The left hand lane is for the 1st exit and or straight ahead, the right lane is for 3rd/4th exit, unless signage or markings suggest otherwise, as you pointed out there are no markings so the car in the right hand lane was at fault...... This is kinda basic stuff for the driver to be getting wrong
@@ColonelSebastianDoyle The car in the right lane exited via the 3rd exit and was struck by the cammer, Tyler is in the wrong...
2:25 yes it was a bad overtake but HW code 168
Being overtaken. If a driver is trying to overtake you, maintain a steady course and speed, slowing down if necessary to let the vehicle pass. Never obstruct drivers who wish to pass. Speeding up or driving unpredictably while someone is overtaking you is dangerous. Drop back to maintain a two-second gap if someone overtakes and pulls into the gap in front of you.
Good old merge in turn. So simple to do but nobody seems capable of doing it correctly 😂😂
I think people feel aggrieved when someone comes from behind them and it’s seen as pushing in. But it cost both idiots more than one place!
Many use the term “merge in turn” to mean “I want to get car nearer to the front.” It’s a fear of missing the opening credits of Coronation Street in most of them.
9:08 Yay it's me. (The cammer, not the red light runner)
Is that "ShitPoo" on the dashcam a custom licence plate or something?

Last clip was on the roundabout at the junction of St.Stephens Road and Broad Oak Road Canterbury.
3:12 isn't being cut up. If a guy is indicating he wants to move into the gap in front of you for a couple of seconds before you purposefully accelerate to cut him off it's you that is the one at fault, not the other guy.
Why block out the company name in the first clip? Name and shame
2:20 Christian L notices someone overtaking dangerously, so calls him a wanker and closes the gap a bit to make it even more dramatic and dangerous.
Congratulations on joining him as a wanker.
I don’t think he was even overtaking dangerously, when he started the manoeuvre he had an out, it was a straight road with good visibility, but Christian decided to create the danger by trying to close the gap when traffic was coming the other way.
@@chrisbrookes1167 Typical dash cammer, bought it for some clips and realised that People don't drive that bad so needed to create something
Cheers for putting my clip in! 😊

HC162
Before overtaking you should make sure
1) the road is sufficiently clear ahead
2) road users are not beginning to overtake you
3) there is a suitable gap in front of the road user you plan to overtake.
Failed on 1 & 3.
1:41
HC167
DO NOT overtake where you might come into conflict with other road users. For example
o approaching or at a road junction on either side of the road
Failed on that one.
Three breaches of the Highway Code in 5 seconds. Had there been an accident how do you think the magistrates would have interpreted it?
1:39 There was about 1 second between when Charlie could have possibly become visible to the other car, time that was probably spent by the other driver looking back to the front from having looked in his side mirror. When will people like Charlie learn that you've got to give people time to see you.- pull out (keeping the same speed), take a beat to check that it's clear and give other people time to see you, only then start accelerating into the overtake. Swooping out having already accelerated is asking for the kind of near miss Charlie engineered for himself. Also, don't overtake when there's a junction coming up - Charlie missed the sign because he was already too busy accelerating.
9:25 🎶Black hole sun, won't you come...🎶
IN the last clip I'd like to know why Tyler M thinks the right entry lane is right turn only. I can't see any road markings or other signs to say that (confirmed on google maps) and it's not in The Highway Code
Looks like he made an assumption, went for a silly undertake and got it wrong
The only thing the other car did wrong was not indicate left (as far as I can see) to leave the roundabout - but anyway Tyler was well alongside him by the time he would have indicated. He didn't indicate right either so could have been expected to go straight on
I reckon Tyler would cop most liability for that one

Tyler M, Last clip. You are a liar pal, i have just put your coords into google maps, that lane is not marked at all. And as you under took him, completely your fault. Bellend.
Roundabouts with no markings are to be considered as follows; left lane for left turn and straight on. Right lane for right turn only. Try looking at the Highway Code before commenting such nonsense…bellend
@@ReeceJCoxy Wrong pal, left lane, left turn or straight on, right lane, right or straight on. I suggest you check the highway code. Why did he undertake to ?or maybe it was you who uploaded the clip. also did you actually read his comment ? that the lane was marked right turn only ? dickhead, it wasn.t marked right only.
@@ReeceJCoxy You should too. Nothing in the Highway Code about the right lane at a roundabout being for right turns ONLY unless it is marked as such.
@ReeceJCoxy
That is not what the HWC says. Perhaps you should read it again.
Unless road signs or markings dictate otherwise, when taking an intermediate exit, use the most appropriate late 👍

6:07 give footage to both drivers in future!
If the persons legal team you gave it to thinks it would make them lose, it wont be shown.
Give it to both, then it will get used as evidence.
Both sides are required to disclose to the other side material in their possession that might undermine their own case - Civil Procedure Rules 31.6(b)(i).
A lot of people here need to spend more than 27p on a dash cam.
9:30 didnt know there was a black hole in the sky😂
9:30 proof that black holes exist; maybe Rachel Reeves was right!
2:06 What, they didn't realise that microscopic fleck of white paint signified a roundabout? Shame on them!
I thought it needed some fresh paint too.
It’s absolutely terrible that roundabout. There isn’t even a mini roundabout sign on the approach to the roundabout either
2:18 Christian, your commentary tells us that you'd noticed what was happening, so you should have been slowing and growing the gap to reduce danger for everybody involved and enabling the errant overtaker to get back to the correct side of the road sooner.
4:50 lol that guy had plenty of room to get between cammer and guy in front but nooooooo he didnt want to do that noooooooo, asking if he has footage lol.
3:35 the black Van was mostly at fault imo.
Agreed. The window cleaner van moved forward into space in his own lane (now ahead of the black van), and as the merge arrows appeared on the right-hand lane, both the black van and at least 2 cars in front of him were still not attempting to merge, so they effectively gave up the opportunity to merge in front of the window cleaner. Then the black van decided to try and merge in front of the other van any way. The window cleaner could have easily held back at this point, but the black van was wrong to continue as he did. Both to blame to some extent, but majority fault lies with the black van.
Mostly? Defo 100%. If I do a merge-in like this I always merge in behind a car if someone is already merging infront. Not just for polite driving but also he could have easily seen the white van wasnt budging and there's no reason to fight it when people behind are holding back
poor mirrors from the BMW? how about a dumb overtake before a blind summit
Came for the Charlie P comments. Wasn’t disappointed.
Grey Iveco should have given way instead of being a prat
1:38 how many cars one should overtake at once? 🤔
@3:58 according to Blackbelt Barrister they are both in the wrong. No-one has right of way and both drivers should have anticipated the situation. (Highway codes 133-143)
The horn abuse is strong in this video
1:04 I thought I recognised that junction: Knowle (Jasper Carrott country - although he has moved a few miles from there now).
Aye, that it be!
Grey van should have held back and merged but he MUST get infront…
1:40 That's the risk you take when you lunge from that far back.
Charlie P needs removing from the road ASA P.
And the gene pool, with any luck.
4:26 approx. ‘Alastair H’ was the moment at which you should’ve (a) ‘undertaken’ the Iveco, (b) smiled sweetly (not smugly), (c) carefully thread yourself twixt both vans & been about your day. You’re a good lad. Ask yourself, ‘do you REALLY need all the hassle’?🤔😉✌️
Iveco hits white van. Plain as day.
What is it with these scammers going berserk at people coming within 30 foot of them?
At 1:38, cammer's attitude of "Get thee behind me, everybody!" suggests that he might ALSO have been driving a BMW...!
Zzzzz...
The two van merge the Iveco van could have just eased off rather than trying to barge his way through. Last clip were there and road markings/signs to state that ?
So many drivers not adjusting their driving to the wet conditions - 2:30 is a classic example of several in this video. Shame on the lot of them - they could wipe out totally innocent motorists. 😡
"Poor mirrors" from the BMW??? What about doing a three car overtake opposite a junction??? FFS
Awesome Video
Grey van tried taking the piss
9.32 black splodge in sky? Wtf
Peter C can be a heard indicating right at the start of the clip. The two that pulled out probably thought you were turning left earlier. Indicate closer to where you are turning off.
1:36 "Poor mirrors " !!! it would have been game over for you both if anyone had turned left out of the juction on the right, bad judgement by the cam car im afraid
The merge in turn clip at around 5:30 is a repeat. Ended a previous video.
The irony of Sean C @ 2:40 complaining about someone cutting across to turn left, when he is in the wrong lane himself 😂
Lefthand lane is for the the junction and heading onto the bypass, not to continue around the island.
8:32 Speeding and stopping beyond the sign - yeah you're so funny.

3:38 Grey van at fault, why would he want the dash cam footage to incriminate himself ?
When your enemy is making a fool of themselves, don't interrupt them.
Grey van driver was at fault for sure but the insurance companies will screw both drivers just because they can.
probably because he thinks he's in the right and others are in the wrong.
The amount of people that think the meaning “merge in turn” means you have priority is shocking! No wonder the standards have dropped so low!!
3:23 the white van is behind the grey van. 3:29 hes still behind. 3:31 white van decides to accelerate and fill the gap and block the grey van.
5:24 What a right pair of wallies! All that time wasted sorting out the "crash" sure makes the one car length in a queue of traffic seem totally worth fighting over.
7:10 I can hear an indicator in the footage, I'm wondering if you caused this to yourself by signalling left too early
