Dom in the 2nd of those videos (mini roundabout) and the car fails to give way you then do an apparent U-turn which whilst not illegal is not recommended either according to the HC.

Could people not think you are acting as some sort of vigilante.

There's nothing wrong with using RABs to do a U turn providing it's done safely, which IMO it was.

They probably do, but meh.

Better make sure you are squeaky clean yourself
I know I'm not and my Rospa Diploma is dated 1981 so I've had plenty of time to decide that

Funny that this didn't get picked up on the forum where he advertises his videos, but then it doesn't surprise me, they only pat each other on the back and tell each other how great they are.

Not a regular reader of the board, then

What makes things a bit more restrained on here is, unlike most other fora/forums (delete as appropriate to your class), there's a much greater chance of actually meeting the person you've been flaming - not that it stops me.

The only advice I'd give is, " take the videos down immediately and don't put up any more". "Advanced" driving doesn't need any more negative publicity.

I'm sorry to say it, but I have to agree with that. 'Advanced' driving has always been very much a minority interest, and rapidly developing technology is going to reduce the potential audience even further.

Those who wish to enjoy their driving in the future (advanced or otherwise) are going to have to make specific arrangements to get that enjoyment.

Estoril Sport - would you report yourself to the Police if you committed an offence that you caught on your own camera?

Not sure what is happening, but the links to the videos from PH just take me to a message saying the videos are private.

I think young Dom followed Silk's above advice.
Advice which was totally correct.

“Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process. Moreover, even when the destructive effects of their work become patently clear, and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority.”

So much to discuss within this, isn't there?
