True the BMW was following too close, but the Renault needed to accelerate to merge. Hate to see drivers hesitating to speed up on merge, leaving the proper drivers in fear.

True, you can merge when you want. But it's still illegal to undertake in the UK, plus all the dangers that come with it too. My point with the clip is that there's no need to do it, 2 lanes open, no queuing traffic, but still leave it for last second to merge.

Considering the wide angle of the dash cam, I agree with you. But if you take into account the fact that I'm driving a HGV and not a bycicle, and when turning right and the windshield pilar blocks the view then yes, the merc did in fact cut in front of me. Many people tend to get angry at this junction (20 on the M62) because the roundabout is wrongly signed. Signs say there is only 1 lane for Liverpool, but road markings say there are 2 lanes. Have a good day. 👍

Are you ok? Car reversed because it shouldn't have been stopped in the yellow box in the first place. Yellow boxes are there for a reason,one being to facilitate the flow of traffic. All clips are made for views. Don't understand the comment on that. Have a good day/night. 👍

@@BigMikN Then I apologize, I did not meet such a marking where I drove. Yellow marking in the form of a square that obliges the driver to not pass it in order to not block the center of intersection, yes, I saw it; but I didn't see the irregular shape, so I didn't know what that mark represented. The clip is not mirrore, it is just England, I noticed the registration number better, initially I thought it was mirrored. I'm really curious how you can legally enter that intersection. You don't have to stop on the yellow square, I understood, but further back there is another street to the right, so as far as I know you can't stop in the intersection, so you have to stay much further back.... you will definitely notice the traffic very well. I know that if the trucks cannot fit on a sector of the road, access for them is simply prohibited.
@BigMikN4 ай бұрын
Yes, correct video is not mirrored ( I now understand what you meant with that). I'm not sure I completely understand you. There is a yellow box on that intersection due to the great flow of HGVs. The reason I advanced towards the white car was because the driver had the possibility of reversing and was waiting on a red light. If 1 or more vehicles were behind, I would have waited until it were all clear.
