But this one from Germany really scares me. How do they think this is acceptable from either driver in the opening segment?

Not in the least surprising. There are nutters everywhere. What is surprising is that I didn’t think dashcams, like CCTV, were legal in germany.

Vehicles with Dashcams seem to have the most incidents and the most Youtube channel views. We should just ignore them.

Just YT British dashcam and road rage and make up your own mind whether they have been edited to prove German car owners think the roads are for their exclusive use!

A bit like dog owner dickheads think all public space is their's for taking their pets for a shit.

Nothing surprising there ..the Black BMW driver is just exercising his god given right that " You Shall Not Pass "...as found on page 1 section 1 of The Highway Code..and as such is allowed to change lanes at random and put other people's lives at risk ..
Although I listened with the sound off ( not wanting to wake up the family )..I thought that up to a point the dash cam driver showed a lot of restraint ..before losing it completely ..however it was under extreme provocation but nobody is a winner if you die ..

I know that stretch of Autobahn well (A4 near Erfurt). Sadly see this kind of behaviour a lot here. Most German men become incredibly entitled when they sit behind a steering wheel and they like to ‘teach ‘ other drivers a lesson who they think are in the wrong.

It is one thing to drive that badly, but to publish the evidence of you being a cockwomble ??

Truly stupid.

They should both have a thumb taken off them.

I'm sure Mr Dashcam was flashing like a mofo because Mr Beemer was daring to overtake a second car rather than get out of the way.

Quite funny how they do their brake check dance, then Beemer man (I assume man..) realises it might actually turn into fisticuffs on the slip road, and suddenly decides he isn't as hard as he thought.

But then you’d expect to see at least some reflection on the car in front. Odd video that, maybe there was an earlier incident that’s not recorded

I can never understand why if the BMW is in such a hurry to overtake that he comes into conflict with a car already in the lane, yet he has time to **** about playing silly buggers with brake tests.

Does the second vehicle come across as quite a tall one?
Could you get bikes in the back?
Would it be the ideal STW vehicle?

Driver of the ‘ultimate driving machine’ sees being overtaken by a lesser mortal as a threat to his masculinity, takes appropriate action - acting like a huge knob, to make up for the tiny one he actually has.

A van?

Or some silly Cayan thing.

There's a decent argument for introducing a speed limit on the Autobahn. Firstly it would drastically reduce emissions and secondly it would reduce the number of self entitled horse power obsessed Lichthupe (light beeper) speed freaks.

Saying that, it is annoying when you're trundling along at 190kmh and someone pootling along at 120kmh pulls out to overtake and you have to slam on the anchors.

It's also kinda scary when you check your mirror and there are some lights way off in the distance. You check a second layer and - vrrooomm - they're passing you.

Terrible driving. The driver with the dash cam needs to up their game if they're going to engage in road rage. They had several chances to **** up the other car's day and chose to do nothing other than pull alongside.

Very dissappointing.

Why does it scare the OP? Are they planning to drive in Germany?

I wouldn't say that both drivers are dicks, when provoked quite clearly by the BMW consistently blood would boil.

It's easy to state that "you'd leave it be" but the majority wouldn't and nor would I probably after being subjected to the BMW's totally unprovoked behaviour.

A younger version of myself would agree with you, but honestly I've never been on any journey important enough for me to up the risk of a pile up. And I've been on the receiving end of road ragers a couple of times...

Yeah it's triggered by "fight or flight" but some people's levels of aggression are off the chart and it makes you wonder how they function day to day...

These days I still tut at ****tery but if everyone comes out of a situation intact why get all shouty/swervy/tailgatey you're seldom going to make your point stick...

Not all BMW/Audi drivers are idiots, but the majority of idiots seem to drive BMWs or Audis. 🙂

When you buy a BMW you automatically acquire the ownership every stretch of road that you drive on. It's on Page 1 of the handbook.

Apparently there are a lot of Germans that don't like people using the no speed limit rule on the autobahn, so when they see others flying along at 200kph they pull out in front of them to slow them down.... I reckon this is what's happened here...

Many years ago, Ihad someone move all over the carriageway to block me like that. They didn’t pull out on me - just didn’t want me to overtake them. The trouble was that we were on the M6 and they were doing 50mph. No restrictions were in place!

Initially, they seemed to find it very funny. I chose not to react and that puzzled them greatly.

I think I got more out of it than them. Particularly when they left a road 5 miles further on the journey and almost hit a tree when they were concentrating on me - not the road.

To this day, I have no idea of their motivation.

I saw at least 2 caravans being towed in that video. Utterly despicable.
