It won't be long before you can have a drone fly in front of you to relay pictures from around the corner....
The driver in DV56 LVH, a renault megane tailgating like mad, less than half a cars length. I pulled over and let her pass rather than risk a rear shunt. Following her I saw that the brake light was on and off every 3 seconds, it's no wonder one of the brake lights was dead, probably burnt out from overuse.
The driver was going onto the same housing estate as I live on and didn't get there any faster than if she had just driven normally.

Enjoying a drop of red.
But she got their before you so in her very tiny and pathetic mind it's a victory.

Thank you so much to the elderly gent in the Nissan Leaf who cut across me to turn into the Hough at the Lloyds Bank lights earlier. Still you gave my car the opportunity to demonstrate that the collision mitigation system does in fact work and react far quicker than I was able to. Without it I feel that your (charming, I'm sure) lady wife in the passenger seat, would have been taking a trip to Emery's.
Hope your next license review is soon and that they take it off you.

Female driving Silver Hyundai I30 ??14WRD yesterday morning in front of me getting off M6 J13 northbound was driving so dangerously! Because of the southbound accident, lots were getting off the motorway , so hardly any gaps to get onto the island . After missing several good opportunities she finally went, me and the car behind me safely followed. Then the silly cow immediately slows right down to almost a stop on the island, turning round talking and passing things to her passengers. Luckily both me and the driver behind me were alert!
Then all the way up the Wolverhampton Road she was swerving all over the road and narrowly missing a few other cars whilst turning round laughing and chatting to the passengers.
Gets to the lights at Rickerscote Road, and to my dismay she gets in the right hand filter lane in front of me......lights were on red.....she goes over the line and sits in the middle of the junction (so I thought she had just overshot the lines).....then she turns right with lights still on red
, seemingly oblivious of the lights and the line of oncoming traffic ! No wonder there's so many accidents with morons like her driving around

Spouting nonsense since the day I learned to talk
Shoutout to the Ambulance driver who nearly took my front wing off round the bend by St Thomas Mill. He/she* obviously didn't see a red car which was already round the halfway round the corner. I had to turn in towards the wall and brake sharply. Nearly put my car into the walk because I had to move over so far.
*Can't tell you the gender of the driver because they were going that fast and I was more concerned about not getting hit.

When Lotus factory was still there, I once saw a full-size artic, who was blocked, by parked cars, from turning into the entrance coming down Freeman Street, proceed down to the Sandon Road junction and turn it straight round in one quick move, to approach the entrance from the other, clearer, direction. He clearly had no doubts about it and there is really not a lot of space there, with bollards, fencing and streetlights to contend with.

Just got back from Telford, got stuck in a queue on the A5 for 3-4 miles and it took a good 20 minutes to get through.
Thought "oh, I guess there's a tractor up ahead"
Nope, little silver car going 30 in a 60. Nobody could overtake because this 15 vehicle queue had a lot of HGVs who can't accelerate enough to make it past them. So we're all stuck in this queue all the way to Dobbie's at which point they went off in a different direction and we were finally free.
But Jesus Christ, how ignorant do you have to be to go 30 in a 60, have that long a queue behind you and not react to it?

BF09 XTH ran the red light at greyfriars this morning, good job the lad with the pram hadn't already started crossing.

Your speedo will almost certainly be over-reading, so chances are you weren't actually speeding or fall within the range they aren't going to bother with. In the unlikely event you did get caught then they'll likely offer you the option to attend a course instead of points.Me thought I was doing 30 in a 30 zone looked up as I spotted the camera nestling in the windscreen in the van on the opposite side of the rd on grass verge, to see I was doing 34, been kicking myself black and blue since!
