Smashed into from behind...almost

[..Jack..]

@MarkCup do your cameras start running when you start the car or do you have to manually press record? p.s that was close!!

If it's the G1WH then iirc it does.

 

[MarkCup]

Yes, both start automatically on ignition.

 

[Mr Plums]

Did you have your driving gloves on?
Clio's fault, should be concentrating and leaving enough of a gap for things like emergency stops etc.

 

[Jaff.]

is there a bandwagon of mark hate to jump on here yet?

any accidents driven past?

no?

f**k me mark youre slacking!

 

[The Fatty]

[Tez.]

Worst is people jumping in my lane while I'm braking

It's the one in the link above.

 

[Damo_Sport]

No one mentioned Radio Channel old man yet?

 

[LIL B]

Nice hard braking.

Did you endo?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

FFS man .. You could put a video of you making a cup of tea and it'd still be world war three in here.


Clio driver was leaving a reasonably sensible gap and by the looks of it, a good job too. Maybe it was lack of concentration, lack of forward planning or shitty tyres and a greasy cold bit of road. Maybe they're still pissed from the night before or maybe they were texting their mum. Who knows.

Highlights leaving sensible distances as a bloody good idea and not much else TBH.

If you'd slowed up earlier/slower (no pun intended) I think they'd have actually hit you as they wouldn't have acknowledged the gap shortening and adjusted their position accordingly for when you actually stopped.

I don't understand why Marks threads are so controversial, as far as I can tell his driving was completely fine!

Lucky escape though.

This would be why. CS never forgets etc.

In this case I don't see how the blame can fall with Mark though, just seems like a lapse of concentration from the Clio driver.

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Disappointed by thread title I expected NWS inside.







For the record Clio was too close/not paying attention.

Gap looked fine to me too. They braked too late so I would assume they weren't concentrating. It could also be the case that Mark's brake lights weren't working but I doubt that.

 

[Heez]

TEG nailed it. If mark was going slower the clio wouldn't of reacted as quick or would of been closer to Mark when not concentrating.

Regardless of this, Clio would of been 100% at fault. Also a rear view camera sounds like a good idea now!

 

[Rob]

It wasn't exactly close! Hardly thread worthy! :tongueout:

Just read through that thread. Hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

 

[danzman1991]

Utterly perplexing how somebody nearly went into the back of you, but people here are saying you were to blame...?!

 

[Addicted]

Just another Mark thread. standard boring bullshit

Yes, I said it.

 

[Mr Plums]

He should have stopped in the one in the link tho, poor poor decision.

 

[mr bognor]

Lucky escape

 

[Paprika123]

Close one, they must have shat a brick when their wheels locked up.

Can't help but feel you're just getting it tight for your previous videos lol.

 

[Goodj]

I fail to see the relevance of my speed?

Because bonefide road-racing hero?
Lets not start digging up other instances of your infamous in-car camera footage.

 

[warwickstingray]

It's simple, you must be able to stop in the distance you have in front of you. It doesn't matter what the car in front is doing. You have to be prepared for that. It's called driving.

Keep left arrows, then a solid white line on marks side, a blind brow, then solid white lines on both sides, then junction sign and diversion signs. The brow should have caused the Clio to back off long before the junction. What if there had been a queue of stationary cars.

Mark's driving is irrelevant the Clio driver should have been preparing for potential hazards long before the junction.

 

[rctempire]

Ok chaps, as much as this is showing someone locking up before stopping, I think this is now done.
