Might have braked a bit sooner... At least a blast  as they started to pull out ::) That way they might have put a bit more effort in.

There used to be an advert for Fiamm horns which would be very fitting for this situation.


Message was ''When their eyes are closed open their ears'' ;D ;D

I have a dash cam in my cars and the thing that I notice is that the wide angle lens makes the car in front look further away than it actually is when you play it back. I bet that was much closer in reality than the view that you see on playback.  :y

After watching your video, I watched a few of the following compulations, which are certainly not for the thin skinned or faint hearted. :( :'(

That is a daily occurrence, in an hgv.
 basically Muppets pulling off the slip road, into traffic, thinking its there god givin right.

Remember the traffic to your right has right of way. That's how I was learned....

Two things stand out...

1. Never drive east of Poland :-X
2. Dogs show more compassion than most humans :'(

Yer a lot closer.  My reaction times are only average, she was across the hatching & into my lane before I could react ::)  I was convinced my car wouldn`t stop in time, maybe in the wet I`d have bent it :-\ . I could also here tyres screeching from somewhere, but I think that was from the truck behind me.

Yeh, my dashcam has a wide angle lens and that also looks as if vehicles are further away than they actually are on playback.
