  • I thought you were going to mention about that one in norfolk, not heard a lot since the big media involvement, any one else heard anything.

    KB - sounds like shes either a drunk driver or a phoneaholic !!

    Don't we just love inconsiderate, dangerous, phone-talking drivers who blithely go around dispensing chaos to other road users - WITH their company name and telephone number emblazoned over their vehicles??

    Slightly off topic Kieran but what camera do you use?

    I was hoping for pictures of the young student with the fine aris' he followed home a while ago.

  • Excellent, i wondered if helmet cam clips would start to become a database of terrible drivers.

    Parking on the wrong side of the road and pulling out into oncoming traffic while on a mobile phone. That takes some skill.

    I love the 'get a car' comment. I had to laugh when someone said this me as a final parting shot recently when he did a u-turn directly into my path and we had words. My response: "I've already got one" He didn't know what to say. Bless.

    How did the commenter find your video? My Youtube-fu must be weak as I can't find any tags e.g. registration number or company name.

    Is that the A60 southbound, turning off at Bunny towards Gotham?

    Where the vid took place? No. That's in Kegworth (although I do have plenty of vids of that bit as it's also on my commute)

    Oh - ironically.... guess who let me clear a line of parked cars while I was on the way to Donington Park last night?

    It appears to be kicking off in my channel!

    Got a reply to that post above:
    only just seen this website - you need to get facts straight - this is absolute rubbish.

    your daughters boyfriend was driving - and your daughter smashed the windscreen of the van in a total rage - saying "###### report this! " - police were informed same day as incident as well as insurance windscreen company - photos taken of damaged windscreen as evidence.

    I am kind of curious how people are finding the vid though... cos I swear the tabs I use are a bit rubbish

    Better get your Tinfoil liner to your helmet back in Kieran, they are watching you you know!

    Sounds very interesting the incident though!

    Ah yes, A6 southbound - recognise that big old red-brick building with the green paint on the left at the start of the vid.

    I've seen this vehicle quite a few times in the Kegworth/Gotham area. No longer seems to be parked up in Kegworth opposite the Parish Council offices where I used to see it a lot so Kieran must have scared her off. 8)

    They're trying to sell the house, I think they're running the business from somewhere else now, although I do see the HUGE guy walking 'round Kegworth in the direction of the river quite often.

    You do him do you? :shock: :lol:

    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    It's getting contagious! I was driving behind a woman in a bright pink (first warning?) car going around pentagon island in Derby. She was displaying some pretty awful driving and I almost went into the back of her as she kept slowing down when nothing was in front of her.

    Pulled up next to her only to see her head down in her phone! I gave her "that look" and she starts mouthing off like a rabid dog! Shame I couldn't be bothered to wind the window down to entertain her, but she was only too keen to show me how quick her car goes when the lights went green.

    Sometimes I do wonder if I should be mounting my bike cam in the car...
