Its funny how the car driver is hell bent on following close to the blue truck …till…, that is the lanes change
Car driver playing games holding the Asda truck out and the Asda truck later losing his rag trying to push the car driver over (Not good but understandable) imo
Understandable behaviour from a nob.
A truck driver in the same situation as the merc would probably do the same, Asda never once indicated to come between the car and truck, so how was the car holding Asda out if he didn’t know what Asda wanted to do?
Do you drive??
Thats not meant to be a derogatory question, its just pointless having a discussion like this if you dont drive thats all.
Done a bit.
ok, so a lot then. So you should know full well that this bloke in the merc is the instigator in this and asda driver just had enough of him.

That’s why I said something must of happened long before what was shown in that video in an earlier post.
At the end of the day we can only comment on the content on that clip, and my comments on that clip are valid, slightly different now if the facts are true, but to get into a ruck with another vehicle is never a good idea, you just lower your self to there level like the Asda driver did.

yep, i agree, i think the asda driver just snapped.
This will make a change, an honest mistake, honestly explained because I have the brass ones to admit mistakes. We all make them.
Forget the Asda drivers lack of indication. Watch the way it moves and you’ll see why I said that. Let me explain.
I’ve been over taking, a car for this example, gone well passed, thinking might as well stay out and get passed the lorry too. Oh well didn’t make it, is the car still there? Yes, am I clear? Mmmm just. Stay out. Now going down hill, traffic behind. Tough. Not passing lorry in front. Best move back. Car still there, mirrors clear, ops drifting across, indicate, mirror, ops the car. Swerve back (it’s not a big movement, but noticeable). Car driver ■■■■■■ off.
I don’t want to but I’ll probably do it again and it will happen to me again. A quick check in speed is all that’s required by the offended driver, don’t have to slam on his brakes or make a drama out of a situation. Just ease up and let the Lorry in.
Dafman:
So all you ■■■■■ please explain how the car driver ended up there, Give way to the right, and do not undertake. I Know where they are and it is a sheepish down hill when it goes in to four lanes it is a slight uphill when weeto and jls get a driving licence then you can comment, but when you clearly don’t have a clue so be quiet.
Asda driver pulls out to over take a car and truck would be an obvious answer, truck speeds up and so does car, leaving Asda out in middle lane, then Asda decides he wants to come back in to lane one between car and truck.
Just like you did with the car driver
“Maybe he had a car/lorry behind him?”
Sorry, but you haven’t got a clue at all. From watching the video I could clearly see what was going to happen before it got to the end. If I was that “Knob”, which I think is you driving as you seem to know a lot about it, I would have hung back and gave him a flash so he could get in, that’s reading the road and the body language of other vehicles around you. It’s also like driving on a duel carriageway and your in lane 2 doing a steady 60.
My example of my driving and I am in lane 2:
You see a truck in lane 1 catching up with the truck in front, and at this time there is no indicator on. You can see he will want to get in to lane 2 so I hang back and flash him out. Wait till he has finish the overtake and go on my merry way.
Your example:
You see a truck in lane 1 catching up with the truck in front, and at this time there is no indicator on. You can see he will want to get in to lane 2, so you then speed up and sit on hiss back wheels doing a stead 56.5mph and slowly overtake him and then speed off when you have completed the overtake.
Sorry but in the video I can only see one ■■■■ and that’s the merc driver. The asda truck just made a mistake but Mr perfect in the video just don’t make mistakes at all so won’t know what a mistake is
The way I see it is that for ‘some reason’ it all seems to start off with some ‘strange’ interaction going between the Asda driver and the wagon in lane 1 and the berk in the Merc who sems to have got boxed in and it’s obvious that there’s absolutely no way that the idiot will be able to overtake either wagon from that position.He’s also tailgating the wagon in lane 1 at that point too.
What happens next is 110% the fault of the berk in the Merc .Because it’s obvious that if he wants to overtake the two wagons he’ll need to drop his speed to create room in front between both the wagon in lane 1 ‘and’ the Asda wagon in lane 2.Then he’d need to make a lane change into lane 2 ‘behind’ the Asda driver then another lane change into lane 3 to overtake them both.Istead of which the stupid zb stays in lane 1 tailgating the wagon in front.Then when the motorway changes from 3 lanes to 4 instead of following correct lane discipline by moving into lane 1 behind the truck he’s following ( too closely ) the ■■■■■■ stays in what is then lane 2,( seemingly possibly based on some bs idea that lane 1 is closed at that point according to his comments ),and then decides to try to undertake the Asda wagon.
My advice is yes show the video to the law and then hopefully the law will have the intelligence to nick the zb for dangerous driving in the form of tailgating and undertaking the Asda truck.In addition to which would then be the question as to why after doing so he again varied his speed to obviously less than at least 56 mph causing the Asda truck to need to overtake the zb again while removing evidence in the form of what the zb was saying as he did it.So we can add perverting the course of justice to the charges too.
weeto:
Na, don’t believe that for one minute, the fastest I’ve ever seen an Asda truck go on a motorway is 48mph.
^ Explains why you are acting like a ■■■■ throughout this thread : you have 0 truck driving experience.
+1
When I was on for Wisemens I would be going along at 52mph and they still overtake me. Now I am in a vehicle that will do 56mph and I just about overtake a Asda truck.
Rob, I think he was asked if he drives and he said “A bit” which diverts from the question and not giving a proper answer. Don’t know what “A bit” means really. Is it based on a push bike, or a lorry, who knows
Steady downhill run, hence the brakes but why didn’t the car driver slow down, let the Asda wagon in and then just overtake properly instead of making such a friggin drama of it. It’s looks quite obvious that he’s keeping the wagon in that second lane… The self righteous ‘birk in the merc’ is probably causing traffic to slow down behind too.
Undertakes, slows down again then overtakes and has the cheek to plaster the truck reg on youtube…wonder what his reg is ■■?
Mr Merc needs a kick in the nuts if you ask me !!!

If Asda driver wanted in he should of been indicating, plenty of drivers complain on here about being cut up by other drivers trying to pull the same stunt as Asda driver, if that is what he is trying to do, and if it is, he is a ■■■■ for trying, how close do you think he will be to the truck in lane 1 if merc driver backed off? A lot bloody closer than the merc is that’s for sure!
Lane 2 is for overtaking, and that is what Asda driver should of been doing, but he wasn’t.

There’s no evidence that the Asda driver was going to return to lane 1 at all.However the fact is at the point where the motorway changes from 3 to 4 lanes then the rule of the road and correct lane discipline would have meant that the berk in the Merc should have stayed in lane 1 at that point which would have therefore meant that the Asda driver could have moved into lane 2 without being obstructed by the ■■■■■■ in the Merc who was trying to undertake in lane 2.There’s actually no law that puts any time limit on how long an overtaking manouvre takes especially with speed limiters adding to that situation.There is a law though which says that tailgating and undertaking fits a charge of dangerous driving which is exactly what the Merc driver should be facing according to the evidence on the video which the zb has incriminated himself with ‘if’ the law has any sense.

Yeah and all truck drivers follow them rules!! Why didn’t Asda driver carry on with the over taking manoeuvre and pass the truck in lane 1, he probably had the speed to do it.
He didn’t want to he wanted to ■■■■ the merc driver about, and that puts him as no better than the merc driver!

How was he supposedly zb’ng the berk in the Merc about when it’s obvious that the Merc driver can’t go anywhere but stay behind the truck the ■■■■■■ is following in lane 1.If the Merc driver wanted to overtake then he needed to be in lane 3 simples because the Asda driver can’t just make himself dissappear from lane 2 which he’s using to overtake the wagon in lane 1 at some point.Then how do you explain the Merc driver slowing up again causing the Asda truck to need to overtake him again.
If I was the law,in addition to the two charges of dangerous driving relating to tailgating and undertaking and one of driving without consideration for other road users in the form of not using correct lane discipline where the motorway changed from 3 to 4 lanes,I’d be looking into the possibility that the Asda driver was being set up for a crash for cash scam by the Merc driving ■■■■■■,bearing in mind the failure of the Merc to move into lane 3 and zb off into the distance and that there seems no reason as to why the Merc driver would have needed to be travelling at the speed of a limited truck and bearing in mind what happened next in the form of the undertaking move and then slowing up again causing the Asda driver to need to overtake again.
It’ll be interesting to see wether the berk in the Merc will leave the video up so the law can use it as evidence if they’ve got any sense or wether the zb takes it down having realised that the thing could put the zb in the zb.Assuming,as I’ve said,the law are up to their job.
It seemed to me that the whole issue could have been avoided , if the Asda driver when realising he could not pass the blue truck, had decided to back off and drop in behind the Merc.
Of course we have no idea if the merc had only just joined the Motorway and pulled into the gap left by the Asda truck as he was attempting to pass the blue truck.
Without seeing any previous footage it’s almost impossible to say who is at fault.

The Asda driver obviously did overtake the wagon in lane 1 it just took some time to do it as is obvious later in the video when the Asda wagon had to overtake the berk in the Merc because the ■■■■■■ had slowed down again after undertaking him.It’s obvious who’s at fault because after tailgating the wagon in lane 1 the Merc driver then decided to overtake both trucks by undertaking the Asda wagon instead of using lane 3.Both of which ‘should’ be a charge of dangerous driving if the law are doing their job.

Perhaps if Asda driver had done 2 or 3 flashes of the indicator to pull in front instead of half a flash, then may be the merc would of dropped back a bit so he could of come in, but he didn’t did he, it was flash manoeuvre into lane 2 with a car down the side of him.
Up until that point can’t see what the car driver was doing wrong, and like said before, no one really knows what went on before the start of that vid!
and the berk in the Merc who sems to have got boxed in and it’s obvious that there’s absolutely no way that the idiot will be able to overtake either wagon from that position.He’s also tailgating the wagon in lane 1 at that point too.
