This thread is perfect example of why I don't post on here anymore.

Anything you say, can and will be used against you, taken out of context, used again, recycled to win someone else's argument and used over and over and over.

So... 2 guys (Man A and Man B) on the same stretch of road pissing each other off because B didn't give A a gap in the lane B was in an A thinks "I will show you because my COTY is superfast - much faster than your R30k oil dripping rust bucket". A little bit of road rage later and A pushes his way in front of B who still does not want to give A a gap in front of him because he thinks A is a complete douche bag because of the earlier exchange of rude signs. In all this excitement, after A pushed in front of B, A suddenly realise there is a stationery vehicle in front of him and slams on the carbon breaks of his COTY and manages to stop inches from the stationary vehicle in front of him. Unfortunately B is not so lucky. B does not have nearly enough time to react to the situation because of A pushing in and although he slammed on his brakes the moment he realised the mess that was created, the carton brakes on his oil dripping rust bucket could not bring him to a standstill in time and he rear ends A (and not in a nice way). A, merely inches from the stationary vehicle in front of him, slams into the stationery vehicle from the force of B slamming into A....

Is your dashcam mounted at the back? Maybe you could upload the footage somewhere so we can have a look too..

Thanks - so how does he know he was driving for atleast five seconds infront of the guy behind him? :confused:

Apologies if that's already been asked and answered. :eek:

EDIT - never mind - I'm not even sure what thats supposed to mean.

Lets assume that everything I saw from my POV is in doubt.

Now I can describe to you what I see in the video footage, and you can believe me or not. The forward facing front mounted video footage shows me passing the car and then turning left into his lane. I'm driving for a short distance in third gear and you can hear my revs dropping suggesting I am not accelerating. The car infront of me comes to a halt (even though the robots are green) and I stop in reaction and then moments later you hear a bang and my car knocking the front car. From the moment I enter his lane to the moment of impact it is 16 seconds.

When I spoke to the guy, his reaction was that he did not see me because I cut in without indicating. I can't say with certainty if I did or did not indicate. It is habit for me to do observations and indicate but at this point its his word against mine, and if we go with his word, if he saw me not indicating how did he drive into me 16 seconds later?
