new transit brake checks a woman driver without any reason to do so

slow moving traffic poolstock lane Wigan,
behind me is a small fiesta ML15ZDW woman driver approx 55 yrs old
Behind her is a Brand new Transit reg : MW17ZRK on red and white trade plates ( being delivered ) doing anything he can to pass ??
It is not a emp;oyee from ENTERPRISE RENTALS,
it is a delivery driver from BCA Technical Services.
as soon as he overtakes the fiesta he pulls back infront of her and brake checks her then speeds away.
unfortunately i forgot to save front footage (DOH) but the main issue is here to see,
driving conditions were very wet and slippy so this could have ended very differently.

[@carlabunn1134]

I am so glad you spoke to him regarding his unprofessional and nasty driving. She would be grateful had she known. Thank you for being one in a million. Thumbs up from me.

[@DannyDashcam]

Carla Bunn thanks for the positive feed back. Get some right weird comments because it's the internet.

Well done that man there’s to many aggressive drivers on the road today, I’ve been using the m27/a27 to Chichester for 5 years now and seen lots of this! I think to myself these people must have fantastic jobs if they want to risk their life and everyone around them.....just chill out !

[@johngreen8693]

@@bigronvfr750 Not fantastic jobs, the opposite and they are not great at life!

[@gemwilz]

Van driver is a bully. Glad you went and spoke to him. I had an old man behind me in a line of traffic doing 40mph with a van doing the exact same thing to him last week 😔

[@Cairo_Jack]

10 out of 10 for speaking to him

Richard Martin thanks mate

[@robdixon3953]

Anyone who tailgates me like that buys themselves a long wait ...

[@Aidan.17]

Yep when i get tailgated like that i go slower and slower until i hit around 20 kmph below speed limit and ill stay there the entire time they tailgate soon as they back off i go back to normal speed limit. Most tailgaters get the gist after i do it 3 or so times. "Me no tailgate me go faster" That's right Mr Neanderthal well done!!!

[@jadens9569]

Best way to deal with tailgators. 😂

[@abdullahz4804]

A saab tailgated me today so i sped off then i pretended like i was going for my turn but i sped up again and got infront he got emotional and sped up also, followed me for a good while and he tried to overtake me at the same time but i didnt let him. Keep in mind the traction control doesnt even work and it was raining and i was really giving it in. I have a mercedes E200 1996 as my second car but it really goes that saab couldnt keep up for sure. Then at the end he went in his turn spot and me in mine, showed him the peace sign and he showed it back lol he was probably so butthurt.

[@abdullahz4804]

I just speed off in a aggressive manner and then they just stay back

[@grahamlees3199]

show this video to his bosses no need for this behavior

[@gary63693]

No, show this to the police. This kind of behaviour should be dealt with accordingly and charged with dangerous driving

[@Ben-ht2cv]

He'll care alot more about losing his job and income than having to pay a £80 fine

[@gary63693]

Get to a certain amount of points, then he can't drive. A win win in any case. lol

[@elekdanieltoth6671]

[@richardwayne1990]

[@moonlighttigress]

What a jerk! And it was raining too so the poor lady probably was just trying to make sure she didnt lose control or anything. There is no reason for this guy being so close to her. its not like it would have gotten him there any faster. Its called traffic and sometimes you just have to deal with it. I hope that guy sees this and realises what an idiot he was. Or has learnt from his stupid behavior. I didn't see that poor lady do anything but drive to the conditions. Good on you for telling him off too.

[@maj0072]

Get it sent to his boss. And advise him it's on here. May be worth a chat with the local police they may take action.

[@davidcarr4991]

Moderate to heavy traffic and wet roads, and he drives like that? Even if he had got past, where was he going to go? Was he going to intimidate you the same way? It was only a short time until you got to that stretch of dual lane where he pulled that stupid brake check. As you say, professional driver? Yeah, right...

[@jeffbilbrough6494]

"Professional driver", ha ha very funny, just another typical arrogant & selfish driver

[@pussinboots1145]

He's not a professional driver.A professional driver is someone who holds a vocational licence such as an HGV/LGV

[@rscosworthfan]

wrong well right and wrong a professional driver drives cars too limo taxi etc

[@DannyDashcam]

rscosworthfan depends on how you look at it. Put it this way do you think a typical taxi driver driving a car or minibus is as qualified as a hgv articulated driver who in the eyes of the law is a professional and can use multiple types of truck 4 or 6 axles or multiple types of trailer flat bed, box curtain wider? Of which all could be refrigerated double decker or small twin axle urban or even skeleton trailers some have tail lifts or fork lifts on the back or even hiab. All we have to know how to use correctly and safely with various types of loads etc. Because of this I consider the drivers and coach drivers to be professionals. Not taxi drivers etc.

[@BedsitBob]

Remember that "professional" simply means you get paid to do it.

[@chrislj2890]

That poor lady was just being a safe driver under the road conditions. It makes me mad to think a jerk like that could do the same thing to my wife. Hope he gets his comeuppance.

[@UberDAHnooB]

Well, you're driving a popcorn machine aren't you? Maybe he was hungry.

[@lookingfromuk4731]

Some clever clogs on the road hey nooob

[@sfv650fu]

Thank you for giving him a serve. It was the least he deserved. Anyone who deliberately tailgates should be put down on the spot, on the grounds of insanity. Why on earth would they do something that forces the person in front to slow down *and* endangers everyone in the vicinity? Absolute lunacy.

[@smartguy9101]

This happens loads where I live due to a new 20mph speed limit instead of 30mph. I had a van over take me over a speed bump outside a school (20mph) and then braked in front on me it's a 20mph limit I was doing 20mph. I think I might get a dash cam.

[@DannyDashcam]

get one mate, i started with front and rear g1wcb cameras from amazon and installed them myself, cost less than £100 with 2 12v splitter wires and extension cables, using the new g1w-s in front now as its way better at night and saves files better making them easier to find and edit

[@andrewm514]

Andy wilkin , ditto shipmate. Had a young lad hooting me right up my jacksee! Bloody annoyed I didn't have my rear cam on!

[@paulstevens9409]

People overtaking in 20 zones is understandable, they are all over bristol now not just outside schools but on a lot of big wide roads...its crazy. But I dont see the point in brake checking someone after, if someone wants to do 20 thats there right, just overtake and get on with your day I say

[@royalstevep68]

Andy wilkin same here, these 20 mph limits do more harm than good, should only be outside schools

[@thomascolville9438]

sp royals Unfortunately it's not just at schools. When I had a pushbike, only doing about 10mph. Young boy on pavement decided to cross road just as I started to pass. Went right over him. With a car, what damage? He was ok btw. Since then I'm always aware of anyone, especially children. Just takes a moment of not thinking. It's usually 20 for a reason.

[@peromo9397]

It' s refreshing to see a 'professional' driver being 'professional' in his attitude. Love the vids; recent subscriber.

[@DannyDashcam]

Thanks peromo , just sharing what we see and always try to be nice and help others mate 👍

[@steveroberts6302]

It's not brake check. It's an attempt to cause an accident.

[@DannyDashcam]

Steve Roberts True dat

[@smitajky]

It can't be an "accident" if it is deliberate. Attempting to cause a COLLISION. Possibly "assault with a lethal weapon."

[@steveroberts6302]

smitajky Good point.

[@atkin207]

smitajky in the law, if there are no witnesses it would be a standard rear end accident. And you know where the blame would go for that sort of accident. -_- It's a good thing you were on the ball there Danny. If he did indeed cause an "accident" you would have been a witness with evidence.

[@Smartsparky]

If I get this behaviour in a 30mph zone I’m down to 25mph, they soon realise your doing it due to there behaviour and nearly always back off. And if they do I drive to 30mph again. It does work.

[@um02122]

He was late to meet his unsatisfied mother. Brake checking in this scenario has no excuse - if you're in a rush, just go. Also, very dangerous manoeuvre. To claim you're a pro driver after driving like this is a disgrace.

[@ColinRichardson]

um02122 just because someone is paid to drive (professional), doesn't mean he's a good driver. I think somewhere the word has twisted into being "i is pro ennit!"

[@um02122]

Colin Richardson I think that by respecting what you do you respect yourself. If you're frustrated with your work, find something you enjoy doing and do it well.

[@redsoxfan5240]

Brake checking in ANY scenario has no excuse. I don't think there is a single maneuver out there more dangerous than brake checking.

[@hackhuntersaco4548]

If people tailgate you, just turn on your hazard lights for 2 or 3 seconds and they'll back off. The lights are very publicly visible and most tailgaters don't like the attention. Works every time.

[@SvenTviking]

Tailgating is my biggest bugbear. If you can’t see the point of giving vehicles in front sufficient room, you should be banned for life.

[@gumpgod12]

Hats off to how you handled that mate

[@untitled6981]

he's in a hurry but has time to change lanes and brake check someone. lol

[@felisdom2739]

damn tailgaters are the worst. I never undertand the ones who do it in a line of slow moving traffic. Whats the f-ing point?? In my experience the worst offenders are any kind of work/trader van/white van and foreign lorries. Trying to stick to the temporary speed limits on the "smart motorways" as well almost always leads to someone 3 feet off my bumper. I always want to ask them, "if i speed up to please you will you pay for my speeding ticket"?

[@souper5334]

[@Alex-hn3lc]

Top man nice to see you took a moment out of your time to question that bellend's behaviour. What exactly was his explanation?

[@DannyDashcam]

pretty much his 1st comment was saying she had done something to him twice?? and as a professional driver he wouldn't do that... I replied but you've just done it... I wasn't happy with his response , didn't take any responsibility for what he had done.

[@Alex-hn3lc]

Danny Dashcam Oh right no surprise there then he hasn't even got the decency to put his hands up. I mean people who behave like that, and with no answers wind me up tbh lol. Anyway it's so nice, and refreshing to see someone who's looking out for others on the road. So well done there isn't enough good people like you left unfortunately so it's nice to see.

[@wordreet]

[@phil955i]

People like him need to be taken off the roads

[@HeadlessChickenTO]

It's truly a disservice to public safety that nothing gets done about people like this. Brake checking is the equivalent to assault with a deadly weapon and for what? Ego? Pride?

[@Vandragorax]

This is why I have a cam in my own car, and on my motorbike. I'd have brake checked him getting up my chuff like that and then let him sort out with the insurance people as well as his boss not laying him off from his job. Too many idiots think driving is a right, not a privilege.

[@unclealbert294]

Well done for that! I'm guessing considering you knew he drove for BCA you reported him to them, she did nothing wrong! All she did was keep a safe distance for the weather behind you! Well done for looking out for her, I'm guessing he's a plater delivering from a port or storage yard to customers and sure BCA would like to know there jumped up drivers are doing this in there customers stock

[@retroonhisbikes]

I slow down for a tailgater. As I have to leave twice the breaking distance.

[@WildlifeObsessed]

I can only imagine how the 'White Van Man' Driver felt having been spoken to like that. Bet he's still shaking in his boots.

[@thewhitevancam]

Well done for calling him out on it! I was a class 1 driver for 25 years, I hold an international OCPC & now run my own courier business so I’m inclined to do the same as you when I see this sort of behaviour. It’s idiots like this guy that give van (& all professional) drivers a bad image among the general public.

[@joelmartin2549]

Dodgy Drivers UK, and idiots like you that give drivers a thuggish reputation.

[@royalstevep68]

Well done for speaking to him

[@sundin57]

I'm just impressed that "29 Palms" by Robert Plant was on the radio!

[@oddities-whatnot]

From what I see, the fiesta did nothing wrong. She was doing the speed limit I assume, keeping safe distance from you and that idiot in the transit was in the wrong, no arguments. When people tailgate me these days because they are impatient (and I do the limit, not under it), I dont speed up just to please them. They usually back off eventually. Its just not worth the risk, so many bad drivers in a rush. Great video. Glad you confronted him.

[@DannyDashcam]

Ernie Flannel Spot on. That's pretty much what happened. Some of the other comments on this post you'd think they were driving the van 🤣

[@gehteuchnixan69]

[@SuperPercy66]

Report it to his company and or the Police, leave it for them to deal with...not you.

[@mark261166]

People say "I'm a professional" as though they have God like skills. Earning a living doing something (professional) does not mean you are good at it or above reproach.

For drivers like this every police car should be equipped with a tiny shredder exactly the size that a driving license fits in.

[@martinjames9250]

This is exactly why the rear window of my car is blocked off, and there's a camera on the rear of my motorbike. No shortage of morons out there. Disarm them by blocking their view of you in your car and make them accountable with a camera.

[@peromo9397]

I agree with you Fella. Do stuff like that and it will cost your job; at the least!? Basically this is shit driving at the risk of other people and potentially their lives or 'well being' . Good vid.

[@twalker1773]

Good for you mate. This ass has probably never been confronted and he will not forget it.

[@Eddie-ev9bv]

A truck driver is certainly not a "professional". That totally demeans the term and it is amazing how many 4x2's out there class themselves as " professionals" when they should call themselves simply a 4x2!

[@jimlepeu577]

You did right - that pillock could have had a really bad accident driving so close behind someone in the rain if she had to stop he would not stop in time.and could have caused her to rear end him when he brake checked her because the road was slick

[@stunninglad1]

Tailgating is totally unacceptable, highly dangerous and only an idiot or a psycho would do it.. Brake checking is even worse and should result in the revoking of one's licence.

[@rogerrhodes5702]

its down to the businesses pressurising the drivers to get stuff done quick - often even bonusing them to go faster...sick.

[@bentennyson2398]

Typical van driver, since the accident last year I bloody hate them. The van was tailgating me, and the car in front braked hard to avoid hitting the car infront of them. I stopped but the van hit me and wrote off my 206, I only had it 2 months which really annoyed me.

[@brentmiller1607]

I brake check people on a regular basis but, never pull around them and do it! This jerk was tailgating the crap out of this woman, and if I were her I would have locked them up on him! If you go by the modo, he who sticks their nose up others ass, has no right to complain of shit on face!

[@Richard-pe4cx]

well done you did right ,we all don't need this on the roads.

[@Thromordyn]

If you don't mind making the mount permanent, a dab of epoxy where the camera clips in can stop the rattling. Assuming that's where the noise is coming from.

[@DannyDashcam]

Thromordyn thanks for the tip. It is a g1wc camera which is superb but 1 issue can be a persistent rattle from the buttons. A little sellotape fixes it normally but not this time. I'm better at editing now so I'll just remove the audio in future lol

[@patthewoodboy]

well done. If he was in such a hurry , why does he brake check her , see this so many times

[@rosewaller5094]

she might have been going slower and creating more distance from the camera guy BECAUSE that guy was tailgating her. On my driving lessons I remember my instructor saying that if someone is up your ass you need to create more distance to the car in front so that if they stop, you have more time to stop without the douche going into the back of you. In my opinion the fiesta driver did nothing wrong and the van guy was just a typical van driver i see everyday.

[@michaelkennedy8573]

Why does it matter that the driver was a woman?

[@Twobeers1]

You should have given this footage to the constabulary so that they might a chat with him.

[@the.internet]

Remove the bastard's job.

[@merlingstoss6332]

Also notice how she managed to pick up speed when he tried to overtake, and after the brake check. Dick driving by both people throughout.

Around the 0:30 second mark she (kind of) brake tests him. I don't think it was malicious, just poor driving. Not trying to excuse him; I'm just pointing out this was probably what tilted him.

[@DannyDashcam]

L4RRY only thing insee at the 0.30 second mark is the van indicate right to overtake standing traffic with nowhere to go, I'm sorry I don't see any brake check

[@catfrab]

Why? I don't understand what he was trying to achieve? Even if she had cut him up twice or insulted his miniscule manhood, the reaction makes no logical sense? Drunk? Just a dimwit? What a peanut!
