An early morning drive into work, and almost getting hit by a car jumping a red light.

Bad Driving – BMW 1 on Vimeo
A selection of three clips showing a really dangerous BMW driver.
First clip, the driver cut in front of me at high speed with no signal and with not much space between myself and the car in the lane next to me. Then jumps from the fast lane, to the slow lane, then back to the fast lane in order to over take cars. I caught up to the driver and you can see their number plate.
Second clip, the driver almost causes an accident by undertaking the car in front whilst a car is change from the slow lane to the middle lane.
Third clip, the driver again undertakes (in the distance), then does exactly the same manoeuvre as in the first clip. The irony? Even with all their moves, I still overtook them. :-)
Dangerous Driving
Footage of an idiot jumping three vehicles, jumping a red light, and speeding through roadworks.
Reported to the police already.
Signalling
Can you please remember to signal in good time before turning. It gives other people notice of what you’re trying to do. Suddenly braking, signalling and turning all at the same time will only cause an accident. And if I catch you on camera, you’re going to be named and shamed.
Concatenating Videos
I’ve been cracking my head trying to figure out how to concatenate my dashcam videos, which get chopped by my dashcam into 15 minutes chunks. The most obvious one is ffmpeg, where I would use this:
$ ffmpeg -i "concat:`ls -l | egrep -i "apr\ \ 2" | awk 'BEGIN {ORS="|"} { print $9 }'`" -c copy output.AVI
Bad Driving – Mercedes 1
I finally have had an opportunity to process my dashcam videos for this week and here’s one from Tuesday.
Mercedes drivers have a bad rep and this guy isn’t helping by first jumping 5 cars in the queue in front of him (including me), forcing cars going the other way to stop, and then jumping the red light at the roadworks.
The clock on this footage was one hour behind (it was actually 16:11, not 15:11)
It should be noted that I caught up with him about five minutes down the road where he got caught behind another queue of traffic. Moral of the story, don’t jump the queue. It’s not smart, it’s not cool, and just proves you are more of a dick than you already are…
