Stupid by the car transporter. He was slower and he knew it, He tried to overtake by breaking the law. Mindless. All he had to do was observe the speed limits and when they were out of the 50 zone switch on his cruise control lean back and relax enjoy his and let the other guy get on with his day. The DPD guy just followed the law. Observe to 50 limit and then accelerate to his cruising speed. Hopefully he kept an eye on the idiot trying to overtake and if a situation had arisen he would have been a professional driver and let him in in order to avoid an accident. The car transporter didn't care he was never in a position to avoid an Accident..
@rx61804 күн бұрын
A great many are criticising the DPD driver in the comments section, for out-accelerating the transporter trying to get past. I can see the point. It would have been safer to let the transporter get past then pass him again. Driving is very confrontational though I find. There are many battles to be fought out there. Yes there are rules to be followed but a great many drivers ignore them, including so-called professional drivers and I'm supposedly among them. The transporter driver ignored the speed limit to try to gain a totally pointless advantage, that he'd immediately lose once out of the 50mph limit, and the DPD driver got his hackles raised by the transporter driver's 'confrontational' illegal overtaking action and decided to defend his existing position on the road by blocking him from getting past, knowing already his vehicle was capable of going faster, because he'd passed the transporter once already, before this section of video. For my money the transporter driver was the bigger offender and the stupidest, for doing 55mph in a 50 limit, but the DPD driver wasn't blameless, though I understand why he did what he did. Then there are those among the comments that think I'm the biggest cause of a potential accident because yep, even I, looking at the footage think I got a bit closer to the DPD lorry than I ought to have done at one point, so somehow everything is all my fault...

@@rx6180 I agree with you, I have driven long haul all over Europe and this is a common occurrence. People being stupid. The transporter guy was stupid and the dpd guy silly. In the interests of safety the DPD guy should have let him in. We have I am sure both of us been in the situation where you are chugging along on cruise, just getting on with your day. Bit of down hill and some *****' of a driver overtakes you. Next uphill section he slows down and slows you down. You want to pass him but you have to let the convoy of cars that he created while overtaking you through. Then it goes downhill again and he pulls away a bit. Next uphill and you have caught him up again And so it goes on. This is when you decide that a 45 sounds like a good idea and you revert back to enjoying your day.

@@derekpresland4029 Absolutely. I'm strictly UK only and part time these days but this road in the video - the A34 between Oxford and Southampton - is about 60 miles long and I'm on it frequently. It goes up and down and up and down and especially when I'm on the return trip during everyone else's rush hour, I'm very often stuck going uphill, behind something that has passed me on a downhill bit, with a never ending stream of cars in the outer lane - and occasionally an optimistic 44 tonner behind them too, as a spec in my mirror! 🤣 The rigid I'm in has a decent turn of speed and on the job I'm on I'm usually lightly loaded (logistics eh?) but being a regular on the A34, I try to judge my overtaking moves to rises when the bigger vehicle is unable to accelerate to block me or undertake me. Occasionally I get caught out and mis-remember the road, or the bigger vehicle that I'm catching suddenly finds some extra speed, and what is shown in this video happens to me. That's why car drivers get infuriated with truck drivers taking all day to pass. What I've often found - and I learned this more than ten years ago (I'm a career change guy, not a life-long trucker) when I began driving for work, is if I catch something doing 54mph and my truck can do 56mph, usually if I press the accelerator hard to try to pass, my truck just makes a bit more noise but doesn't seem to be able to go any faster! 😆 That's when I drop back, hit the cruise control and stay at 54! The thing that gets me is, you can drive like a maniac trying to get to your destination as early as possible, then get kept waiting for a loading bay! And I've come to believe, on my own runs anyway, that losing a couple of mph for certain sections of my journey is neither here nor there on the total drive time, when it comes to the tacho and running out of hours. There are enough road crashes, lane closures and diversions to muck that up. So yeah, the crazy, pass-at-all-costs drivers do confuse me.

Well, not all folks are that perceptive. Anyway, I was venting my own spleen a bit and the camera records sound. I drive the same 175 mile route regularly and regularly see dueling HGVs or get trapped in the outer lane myself by someone I'm passing who speeds up, but to me this one dead ahead in my dashcam view was corker and I saw it coming as soon as the transporter got past me. I ought to set myself up as fortune teller with a crystal ball. I can tell what's going to happen next.
@J69er5 күн бұрын
Totally agree , regarding speed limit situation. But I myself ( a hgv driver ) have started overtaking other hgvs . And the majority let you pass & politely flash lights once safely pass , letting you in . But there are a minority who find that extra speed & decide to leave you out to dry . Personally I think the DPD driver had just compounded a situation that could have been easily diffused by letting the transporter pass . He could then overtake afterwards if he increases speed . I’ve slowed slightly to allow other vehicles to pass . When my speed increases, usually due to conditions & inclines etc . Safer & professional to just let them pass. Not create a mobile road block & risk increase of an accident. Once , I was literally stuck behind ( with many other motorists) 2 duelling trucks . Occupying 2 lanes of motorway. For over 4 miles . That’s ridiculous. But hey ! As most hgv & other regular road users know . We see many examples of poor driving every time we go out .

Most cars speedos under read. Some trucks are calibrated very close the the actual speed... Whenever I'm on a 50mph average speed zone I overtake loads of cars at 50mph and I'm sure they all think I'm speeding.. If you were doing 50mph on the speedo in a modern car/van theres a good chance your only going 45mph. As a class 1 driver I think the DPD driver was being a dick. I'd have let the BCA past. I've seen it loads on max speed roads I catch another lorry up quickly, pull out to overtake then it takes me 10x longer to overtake than it did to catch it. Then when I'm infront it disappears in my mirrors. All because the twat in the drivers seat doesn't like being overtaken.
@rx61806 күн бұрын
I think you meant that car speedos over read? Makes out the car is faster than it is? I've driven a Mondeo and an Astra that read a clear mph faster than they were actually going. My current car, a Volvo, reads 2mph fast. Yes I get that thing where I catch a truck, take ages to pass it then it disappears in the distance when eventually I get in front. I do wonder if air turbulence has some effect on my own vehicle speed as I'm passing. It seems to be something that afflicts most trucks. However in this instance, DPD clearly opened up the gap between me and him as he put his foot down!

@@transporter49 No. When I was editing footage, I thought at that point (at least where I cut a bit out and the image jumps) I looked a bit too close. At the time, - after being on the road since 3am and driving for nearly two hours, with at least another 30 minutes before I take a break before carrying on for another hour - at the time, I'd not immediately noticed. I don't claim to be perfect. I don't claim to never make a mistake. What I wasn't doing was deliberately, intentionally, either breaking speed limits or blocking other vehicles. I've already made this admission in another reply to another comment when someone made a similar accusation but those comments just get lost down the page. I wanted to upload this, so I couldn't change my own relatively short error when considering my entire journey length, when I WOULDN'T be driving up somebody's arse for the entire time. Believe it or not I am VERY aware of the lack of crash protection in an HGV. I'm at the front. If I hit a car, the car would come of worse. If I hit the back of a lorry, I come off worse. Doesn't mean I can't drive for eight and a half hours plus, in a single shift, cover over 360 miles and NEVER EVER make an error of some sort. That would be pretty miraculous. I try my best to not drive like a moron though. But some people make a career out of it.
