Confrontation with a Driver [Video]

[crazyjoe101]

Absolute idiot!!! on a side note what camera are you using? quality looked impressive and i'm looking to get one but as a student i don't have a great deal of money for one

I have a Contour ROAM 2 which I bought second hand off a kind chap right here on CC. Other than picking up a good quality cam second hand (unlikely since people hold on to them) I'm not really sure what you could do, I recall that threads about cheap helmet cameras pop up fairly frequently in the 'what accessory' section though, so you may want to look or post about it there.

Another slightly unrelated tip is to render any edited or trimmed footage in the same format as the raw footage from the camera; I used to go from .mp4 to .wmv in rendering and it changed the colours, exposure and added a bunch of noise (due to the change in exposure), now I match the file settings as closely as possible to the raw footage.

Chapeau on self control.

The learning point I take away from this is when a car stops like that - get the bike on the pavement preferably behind an obstruction. The other is how karma works. Real concern from that passer-by.

Yep, I should have at least dismounted as soon as I stopped. Sitting on a bike is about the worst place you can be if you're going to have it out with someone.

I was on my way home last Friday 24th Oct, I was on Eltham High street when a car cut me up and turn to Archery Road. The car has a white sticker on the rear screen with the letter TLH and the number Plate B57 TLH. Could this be the same idiot on the Video?

It could be if it was the same company and the cars are not tied to one driver, there's no way of knowing though.

I was passing there a short while back so took a look at the business address and the car. I seem to have noted the reg. as BE57 and I seem to remember checking the number. The car does have a business sticker attached to the rear window. The business address is a home address and I got the strong impression that it was a one man business. Malicious or simply very bad driving? Could you say?

With your company name, address and details pasted all over your back window.

Proper genius that one.

I'm not really sure if it was malicious or not either way he was a cr@p Driver and does very well in advertising his Company/Employer. LOL

I wonder if they have a fleet of Vehicles with similar plates, the one posted here a while ago was BE57 TLM and the one I saw was B57 TLH, whoever was driving they need to chill a little.

Mine was totally different.

Contact the company and ask if they know a chavvy thug is driving round in their liveried vehicle.

If the company bought several cars at once from the same dealer, or they were all arranged on the same lease, you could consecutive plates, BE57 TLH, BE57 TLJ, BE57 TLK, BE57 TLL, BE57 TLM
