The Dash Camera Thread (Videos)

Either your microphone has had it or the coils in your speakers have.

Microphone, the camera is dying, the sound never has been that good, it dont like loud music and when the subwoofer kick in hard

You did the right thing btw

no need to brake at all, if you did it'd result in a lockup since its an old panda, and then you wouldnt have missed that padestrian, you'd of smashed his foot clean off

Would it in court if he pressed charges be actually liable himself?

Never driven in London then, he didn't cut you up, he blocked you

Nope, cant prove what he done was negligent such as crossing without looking etc.

Never want to drive in london.... i think i'd be red, steam pouring out my ears and about ready to kill alot of people

Your right - he blocked rather then cut me up

Since we do discuss lane positioning with video's, i've got a question about which lane to take

Set the scene
you go along a very short 2 lane carriageway @40mph
Lots of signs and road markings saying
1 lane to go to X (inside)
1 lane going to Y (outside)

As you hit the traffic lights it becomes 4 lanes
Outside splits in 3 lanes
Far right is Right only - seperate lights no problems
2 Lane which now have become the 2 right hand lanes for straight on have the Going to Y markings on them
the Far left has Going to X markings on them

As you go through the lights, the 2 lane going to Y go to the right slightly
Lane X becomes 2, going to X

The lane markings for Lane X quiet clearly has it pointing at it

The pictures talk better
Is Birds eye view


To show the layout of the markings


Is looking back at the junction as you have go through the lights, so by the bilboards is lane X


Is abit crap - thanks google!
But it shows how lane X becomes into 2

Am i right in saying, people come into the middle of the 3 lanes (heading to Y) and then push there way across into outside lane of the 2 going to X

Who has right of way?

its hard to explain, i dont have very good footage to yet, but if its not clear what im on about i will try and grab some clear footage

Had the camera fitted a whole 24hours and already had loads of use :bang:

its one of those junctions
Nobody there - then you are

In rights - you have right of way
But its hard for anybody pulling out as they can check and then pull out and you've suddenly appeared

:yeahthat:

 

[sludgeguts]

he blocked rather then cut me up

Ziggy

Always been given to understand that it's still an offense.

@ RuSZ. Just wondering, at 0.32s, you pull out of the junction & straightaway go to the outside lane... ?

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Always been given to understand that it's still an offense.

In what way? Not dangerous.

No different to those who can't possition when turning right imo. Both are the result of ignorance.

 

[sludgeguts]

Can't remember what my instructor said - but it was something along the lines of obstructing the flow of traffic.
Nearest I can remember reading in the HC was
173

Dual carriageways. When crossing or turning right, first assess whether the central reservation is deep enough to protect the full length of your vehicle.

• If it is, then you should treat each half of the carriageway as a separate road. Wait in the central reservation until there is a safe gap in the traffic on the second half of the road.
• If the central reservation is too shallow for the length of your vehicle, wait until you can cross both carriageways in one go.

Although it says "dual carriageways", the pic shows 4 lanes separated by a nice green area - it was never really updated when the councils did away with these in favour of the much cheaper ghost islands


And rule 180

In both instances, obstructed drivers can get quite infuriated, especially if they end up sat waiting for ages.

It's this one that most don't seem to be able to muster :bang:

 

[RuSZ]

Coming up to an un sign posted roundabout where I go fully around to go back down the dual carriageway. So need to be the right lane to turn right

you could only do that if the lane markins say you can do that, which the video doesn't have so the normal rules apply

Ziggy

First part of the clip, (06s) two lanes split to 3.
Lane 1 ahead only
Lane 2, ahead & right
Lane 3 right only.
At 14s, the 'ahead' lane has 2 entry lanes (the first is a bus lane within a few yards). So enter A from lane 1. Enter B from lane 2.
At 17s, this exit has 2 lanes. Enter A from original lane 2 - which has now spiralled to become lane 1 & enter B from original lane 3 - which has spiralled to become lane 2 (note the road markings at 14s)

despite having perfectly clear lane markings, they still get it wrong - note the car in front of me (lane 2), signals and moves into lane 3 on the roundabout!) .

just tagging on.
so rule 173
hen crossing or turning right, first assess whether the central reservation is deep enough to protect the full length of your vehicle.
If it is, then you should treat each half of the carriageway as a separate road. Wait in the central reservation until there is a safe gap in the traffic on the second half of the road.

so on a dual cartridge way road, this would imply that you have right away cause other person is turning accross your path.

council responce

Apologies for the delay in responding to your enquiry.

As far as I can tell, all Rule 173 of the Highway Code is saying is that if your vehicle is too long to sit in the central reservation gap of a dual carriageway without obstructing the major road then you should not pull out of the side road until you can complete your manoeuvre without stopping.

If a vehicle pulls from the side road into the central reservation gap in order to turn right onto the dual carriageway, then that driver has the right of way over a vehicle waiting to pull out of the minor road opposite. The main rule is to give way to vehicles coming from your right. If you are waiting at the side road then that means vehicle approaching along the dual carriageway and vehicles in the central reservation turning right.

my curiosity is what stands as a minor road and a main road, if you are to treat central res as a separate road the other road is much bigger.

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Central res is part of the dual carrageway.
