About as long as e85's have been sports cars I reckon

E85 has been a sports car six years longer

Late indicating by the zed as the yellow car changes lanes to the nearside without indicating.
Wonder how many times that happens everyday.

It seems these days that drivers will indicate going right to overtake but not left to pull in on motorways.
And I always leave the slip road near lane and drive down the middle lane when passing.
Always done on motorbike and overtake lorries on the outside lane even if the middle is clear.

And waiting to see a major accident on these stupid intelligent motorways, where a few weeks ago travelling north past Spagetti to M6 J8
a lorry had broken down in lane 1(part time hard shoulder) of 4 and a lorry pulled out to lane 2 and lorry behind it pulled out from 1 to 3 just as I was pulling left from 4 to 3. Took some firm braking on my part. Wasn't expecting it to go straight from 1 to 3.
Think the driver was trying to maintain the momentum up hill.

Either way I think much more awareness from the Z driver is needed, and ds3 needs to anticipate someone might pull out. Always expect a stupid manover
k
Looking at it the DS was probably moving from the middle to the left lane and thats possibly why the Z driver thought it was clear to pull out.

That's where I was leaning to, glad it's not just me

My husband was stuck in the traffic jam resulting from that knob.

Looks like the yellow one came in past the white van "blind"

Only the front half of the E89 is kinda like a sports car.

Driver should go to prison for this...
Outrageous pulling back off slip road and wrecking several cars

Skip to 1.10 for accident

just clocked this elsewhere..hopefully not a forum member as he lied through his teeth and blamed others till he realised he was caught on camera

If you watch the full video on YouTube only shortly before he'd cut in late and hard into the traffic line..
He really was an impatient prat..

Lucky he wasn't hit by an artic, could have been much worse. Not the best place to have tried that move but how many of us have nipped out of queues of traffic from being impatient, I know I have although I wouldn't have in this case. Maybe he/she was having a bad day.
