What do you think was careless (other than missing the Police car tracking him)?
What did he fail to consider or account for in the manoeuvre?
Too close to the car in lane 3 before moving into lane 2 then too close to the cars behind and in front in lane 2 then too close to the car in lane 3 on his return to lane 3. Nowhere near enough space between himself and other vehicles to account for sudden changes in position or direction by the other vehicles.
Looked like he'd been there a while & observed that everybody was steady, you hear him accelerate up into contact shoulder check & spend minimal time alongside. There were no sudden changes of position/direction by any other vehicle or anything to indicate that it was likely from them.
How accurately does the lens reflect the actual distances involved?
I'm not condoning his behaviour though, it was outside what I'd consider competent & careful driving behaviour. It was outside convention, the highway code, driving test standards etc.
