Back in ~1980 I was driving my dads Pinto at around the speed limit (Pinto not a car you want to mess with. Or even be in for that matter, but I was fetching stuff for him thus using his car.) in light snow on a rural road and a guy in a souped-up (in his mind, at least) Nova came blasting around me. In a no-passing zone because of a series of closely spaced tight turns with hills so you cant see traffic. 2 tight turns later, I caught up to him. He was on his roof ~100yds out in the snowy field spinning in fairly impressive circles. Not even sure how he got that much angular momentum in the first place. Centrifuging might be a better word. I went up to his car (after it stopped centrifuging), watched him undo his seatbelt (bonk) and drove him to his house a mile or so away with a "dont you feel stupid now" smirk on my face the entire time. Safety tip: If your car is upside down, undo the seatbelt with 1 hand but have the other one firmly pushing against the roof of the car as you do it.
@@catherinep2034 No, i did not. But why do you care ? The video never showed you, never mentioned you, but yet here you are complaining about a person passing a person. Who Cares ! Nobody got hurt or even close to it. It never involved you, yet you caught feelings . Why ? Pretty sad life ya got kid.
Had a cyclist trying to do this last week. A whole line of traffic stuck behind him and quite a few of us motorists eventually overtook him. A mile later there's road works with temporary traffic lights. He then starts furiously overtaking everyone to get to the head of the traffic. I only noticed because as I was pulling out on the green light he tried to overtake me......he failed! Now wonder some cyclists makes drivers furious.
I'm not normally a 'grass' but he deserves points for that ... if he'd impacted at that speed it's going to be critical and he imposes that on you to be involved in an accident. Hope he learns one day without it being too painful.
If I was going past his crashed car……I would laugh at him and continue to drive by then about 20 miles down the road then phone the police…..if they moan about why I waited so long….state I can’t use my phone why driving which is the law…so had to wait to pull over at a rest stop
@@lolookie1682 Maybe he had a bad day. Or something. But if you need to bypass something then you should see in the mirrors to see if somebody already started to overtake you. But okay, he is at fault. But you cant leave him there. And what if there were other people in that car. Just think. You let them die, because of something they probably never did? Don't betray other people and don't be a volunteer police.
Never seen small temporary red lights like that at a construction sight before. Here in my area of Pennsylvania we have flag men holding signs that say Stop and Slow. One guy on each end communicating on radios.
They use temporary traffic signals for construction sites in the USA, but they aren't small like these. They're on a trailer and there are two signal heads, one off to the side and one over the lane.
When I was driving for the Highway Department in Oregon, a woman drove past the line of stopped cars, shot past the flagman and drove into the side of the road roller on the coast highway. The crew was repaving a damaged section of the highway. She claimed in court that she never saw the warning signs, the stopped cars or the flagman. She didn't see anything until that road roller backed out into her path, so the operator must be at fault. The judge revoked her driving privilege permanently because he said that she must be blind if what she said were true.

There’s criteria that needs to be met. Point 1) footage & a report needs to be sent ASAP as a NoIP needs to be received within 14days of the alleged offence. (I believe Nextbase have a site where you can upload to, or links to where to upload, Constabulary / Force / Service dependent. Point 2) Footage should be kept private until dealt with by Police, eg FPN, Court Case, advisory letter or NFA Point 3) Police are likely to want footage of the preceding minutes to eliminate / assess any aggravating factors that might instigate road rage. A lot of forces etc now have dedicated reporting links for this and other antisocial behaviours, so a google of your local police or police in the area where something happened should give a general website, and a scour through that may show you where & how to report.
They won't: there was no collision and no damage or injury. Unless dangerous driving is protracted, one incident is not enough. The police are stretched already - not really their fault.
@@gerrycollins2335, a lot of Constabularies/Forces/Services would disagree. This sort of poor driving is usually habitual, so the emphasis on road safety is prevention.

And if an accident would have happened: it's never the BMW's drivers fault. Always someone or something else made the mistake. That's why I stopped driving BMW. Another thing: people buying BMW think that makes them good drivers. Well: 98% should go bicycling.
We lump BMW drivers, Audi drivers etc into the same bracket. I think a lot of the time the problem is that it's a young kid, in a big powerful car. Bought on finance. There should be laws preventing inexperienced drivers from having these powerful cars, but capitalism as it is, actually encourages it.

They use them for construction zones in Idaho and Wyoming. On my commute to work, they were replacing a bridge and had one lane for traffic in both directions. They used a much larger version of this, mounted on a trailer, at each end of the construction. On Beartooth Pass, Northeast of Yellowstone Park, they are rebuilding the highway and installing a bridge on a section that is cut into a cliff. They have these signals and a pilot car to control traffic when work is being done. In the off hours they just have the lights.
That’s the way I saw it too, really didn’t look dangerous at all knowing there wasn’t any on coming traffic that’s what the light is for. I would probably do the same thing if in a real hurry.
Yes the overtake was a little bit suspect but the most annoying thing about this video is the f%^&#$g temporary lights!!!! They are everywhere and get right on my nerves.

@@gerrycollins2335, a lot of Constabularies/Forces/Services would disagree. This sort of poor driving is usually habitual, so the emphasis on road safety is prevention. My local force would most likely send a warning letter for this but if the RK regularly is receiving such reports they will prosecute
@@johnlayden4803 Yeah, that word got a giggle out of me too.
I had similar in the early 00's, on a trip to Norfolk. A fat businessman type in a Merc overtook as I was pulling away, cut straight in front of me...stopped...and went into a newsagents ?.
-Jimmy Hoffa was never seen again ;}
Survive the man. He bites, curses, but survives.
At that speed, I hope they had a radar on the worksite. What a total jerk.
I just automatically expected the end of this video to involve some kind of accident...
Some do get away , but if driver does not change his ways it is only a matter of time.
Yeah because overtaking a truck going 2 miles an hour is soooo dangerous🙄🙄
Not necessarily dangerous, but inconsiderate, selfish, stupid in this context and against the law.
@@allenra530 against the law, possibly but certainly couldn't be taken as inconsiderate or selfish as he/she is not affecting anyone by their actions. People get far too riled up about non events when they're driving. At best you're left with a bad mood and at worst incited to road rage, just not worth it
My daughter's boyfriend has a BMW.
...... Nuff said!
I love your videos!
Why all the hate for the BMW driver. This is a video of absolutely nothing wrong happened.
Old joke: BMW jumbled= Mercedes Wanna Be
And if an accident would have happened: it's never the BMW's drivers fault. Always someone or something else made the mistake.
That's why I stopped driving BMW. Another thing: people buying BMW think that makes them good drivers. Well: 98% should go bicycling.
We lump BMW drivers, Audi drivers etc into the same bracket. I think a lot of the time the problem is that it's a young kid, in a big powerful car. Bought on finance. There should be laws preventing inexperienced drivers from having these powerful cars, but capitalism as it is, actually encourages it.
*nobody seems to notice, that this lorry driver tried to block that beemer and almost pushed it off the road...* because being a slow and big "why not make others' life difficult for no reason?"... this selfish idiot almost caused an accident by driving way to far right than necessary... 😯😡🤬 typical example of "dog in a manger"... how can y'all be so condescending without knowing why beemer was speeding... you don't know what happened... what if that was a surgeon going to operate your f^^king mother... 🤷♂️🤦♂️ it's not your flipping business why was he speeding, if he can afford the consequences, then f^^k off... nothing for you to worry about 😡🤬🤦♂️
I see the BMW has the blacked out lights. Probably some young kid with his seat in the reclined position.
Looks like a temporary driver's license holder who's not going to have a wonderful long life either.
Yep,....there several of them in every state. They'll keep doing stuff like that and one day it'll be all over 🪦
That's one thing I don't miss about the UK - stupid contraflows that last for months with zero work being done
I'll admit, the last guy was the worst, but there were a couple of more complete idiots. That semi, being the worst of all the others.
Ah yes, BMW pilots are a wonder! The Altamont pass eastbound presents exceptional after hours opportunities for performance testing of "das Maschine" . . . I was heading uphill at a pretty good clip one evening in very light traffic when the "ace" flew by at well over 100mph . . . after cresting the hill he was nowhere to be seen . . . but wait, is that a cloud of dust up there in the median? Sure enough, the pilot had landed (backwards) and already hangared his Bavarian Motor Wrecke there in the shrubbery . . . and I had doubted his competence so recently!

@@peteroz7332 nope, no excuse to do that...and if you are a reaction person get some lights on your car, simple.
BMW - Don't blame the driver, blame the car!
Shame you didn't take the light a little wider n hit the tool 😂
the truck going right instead of straight is more concerning to me
Truck had to swing out to miss the traffic light
That truck driver was a idiot changing lanes just to block the car from passing him. What was he thinking.
And the bellend of the year award goes to....drum roll....
Hey, may I feature this video?
With credit
and with a link back to you!
any update? where did this happen?
Yes, you can use it, A52 between Derby and Leek, road work's, bug queue behind me, when i move, he was jumping from the middle of the queue.
@@lukaszmaziarski8782 Thank You
Oh I don't know all the circumstances. Maybe that slightly hazardous manoeuvre was because the car had been following a truck full of manure for the last 3 miles.
I was so glad to realize the Bimmer did not have a North American license plate.
And they breed....
People in BMWs no more than all of us and are better than the rest until they crash and we drive past them
Would of been funny if a cop was patrolling in that area.
The truck driver with the dashcam should have his license revoked.
Why?
I just enjoy seeing the term 'constabulary' in use. So very British. Never see it here in Iowa.
Kinda hoped to see him embedded in that JCB bucket.
He Wouldn't Do that in Tennessee Because the Highway patrol Would be after him Faster than his head could spin...Highway Patrol Guards Construction Zones on Both ends...Guy would probably End up in Jail.
No harm done!
A similar thing happened to me but I was working a stop/go sign he nearly took me out,this time it was an impatient wanker in a jag.
Thou shalt not sully thy Jag!
@@chriscusick6890 thou cannot think that because it's a jag you can drive how you want and break the law or bring the greatest of great cars into disrespect
In Massachusettes USA they don't allow temporary signals, only actual police officers working detail. 2 or 3 if they can't see each other. That guy wudda been tagged. LOL
A crazy lunatic death dealing driver
BMW drivers; They were bread for the live export market, and as organ donors,
but some have escaped into the general population, and onto our roads .. unfortunately.
LB57 WXW - Should not be hard for the police to knock on the door for a polite conversation...
Forget the police, send it to the licencing Dept!

Yeah that figures, coffin bait, just hope its his or hers, and not some other poor bastard.
That's why you always need to be checking them mirrors. Worse still, not sure it's clean-cut the BMW would be at fault here either.
Surely BMW's are allowed to do this?
And then there is this guy!
If the truck would have hit that BMW, you all know where all the blame would have went.
Plus the fucker probably flew through the narrow construction zone. Didn't see anyone around, though, lucky for everyone. Not a good time for a deer to run out of those woods either. Top of the turd-eating foodchain.
Why am I not surprised that they're attempting to drive a BMW? I suppose you're better off having the idiot in front of you where you can see the next stupid move they make
I never saw those remote portable traffic signals before. I wonder why we don't have them in the U.S.
Hello joe do you think that they are a good thing here in the uk they are everywhere if you think they are a good thing maybe you should go to your local authorities and enquire about them mind you I think alot of peaple are colour blind and just go threw them well safe motoring joe🚘
They use them for construction zones in Idaho and Wyoming. On my commute to work, they were replacing a bridge and had one lane for traffic in both directions. They used a much larger version of this, mounted on a trailer, at each end of the construction. On Beartooth Pass, Northeast of Yellowstone Park, they are rebuilding the highway and installing a bridge on a section that is cut into a cliff. They have these signals and a pilot car to control traffic when work is being done. In the off hours they just have the lights.
and the Baby was born well and alive thanks to the midwife driver. you never know folks.....................
If you are really that impatient, maybe driving what potentially is a lethal weapon isn’t a good idea.
If you handed the footage to the police he will be prosecuted for dangerous driving. His registration is LB57 WXW .
Oh that's pretty special.
Hey mate. Is it okay if I use this video for my new compilation? Full credited ofc! Thanks a lot.
Trying to beat the truck...they wouldve ended up in those trees had they ran out of time
The truck driver was the asshole trying to hold back faster traffic.
Complete in every way. Maybe he or she had to turn because turning when starting is a habit.
I don’t see the big deal, who wouldn’t want to get in front of a slow moving truck if it’s clear.
Hope he curbed his aluminum wheels. Looks like the bus/truck saw him coming around and was attempting to thwart a pass.
There's a small group of driver's who seem to have a pathological need to get Infront of HGV's no matter the cost.
Y’all need to chill, bruh didn’t have time to sit behind a truck for 2 minutes. Didn’t hurt anything accept your feelings
That’s the way I saw it too, really didn’t look dangerous at all knowing there wasn’t any on coming traffic that’s what the light is for. I would probably do the same thing if in a real hurry.
Why did you move to the right lane - just to screw with someone.
The Ultimate Douchebag Machine
Yes the overtake was a little bit suspect but the most annoying thing about this video is the f%^&#$g temporary lights!!!! They are everywhere and get right on my nerves.
And how do they carryout works without them, wave a magic wand and the road fixes itself i suppose?
@@paulhancock3844 I've got a crazy idea. Actually have a workforce on site for more than a few hours per day. I know it sounds crazy but wouldn't the work be done much quicker?
@@pleasantville4529 im sure you think youre an expert on roads and highways maintenance planning but then again i think you know nothing about it
@@paulhancock3844 You font need to be an expert to work it out. Having workers in attendance is a sure fire way to get the job done a little more quickly!
@@pleasantville4529 what if they are waiting for the utilities services to their bit, no point filling the hole in if nothings been laid. Easy to complain if no one appears to be doing anything ,you know nothing about what they are trying to achieve
I dunno, he's not really an idiot, after all, he got where he was going a full 30 seconds before everyone else.
That's why I won't buy a BMW. EVERYONE will assume I'm an inconsiderate twat.
LB57 WXW - Reported to the Police, I presume?
I dont understand why the truck made a lane change to the right tho
Shifting over to avoid having his trailer tires run over the control light.
@@allenra530 I'm not familiar with this type of traffic signal. Does the traffic take turns. One car at a time in either direction? If the trailer axel rolled over the light, would that have disrupted the signal?
@@allenra530 one moment I think I see what you mean. Because the road curves to the right, right?
@@allenra530 I've never driven with a long trailer
