Hi Fellow Bros,
I am not sure if I will say "Don't be an ass... SJJ5#5# in KPE" as a 3rd party. Lets don't be too quick to jump into conclusion and put things in proper perspective and analyse it step by step.
0:36 (08:18:02hr) = White vehicle decides to overtake BMW on lane-2 (no signalling)
0:39 (08:18:05hr) = White vehicle front, kind of 'inline' with BMW's rear.
0:41 (08:18:06hr) = White vehicle about parallel to BMW (took ~2 seconds to get about parallel)
0:43 (08:18:08hr) = White vehicle to filter back into lane-1 (no signalling)
0:44 (08:18:10hr) = White vehicle ~50% into lane-1... there is a horning (should be from BMW)
0:45 (08:18:11hr) = White vehicle ~75% into lane-1... horning stopped
0:56 (08:18:22hr) = BMW overtaking on lane-3
1:01 (08:18:27hr) = BMW commence filtering right
1:05 (08:18:30hr) = BMW got into lane-1
from 1:05 to 1:37 = BMW did nothing to the Audi
1:38 (08:19:03hr) = BMW hit his brake lights came on (white car did nothing, maintain current speed)
1:40 (08:19:05hr) = White car hit e brake only when BMW's brake light flashes.
From what I analyse, the video only tells a 1-sided story. Why? Let me give my synopsis below:
1) Speed appears unchanged and it took the white car ~2 seconds to be approximately parallel with the BMW. From 0:39-08:18:05hr to 0:41-08:18:06hr.
2) White car took another 2 to 3 seconds to pass BMW before he commence filtering into lane-1 without signalling. From 0:41-08:18:06hr to 0:43-8:18:08hr.
3) Why immediately 1 second later (0:44 - 08:18:10hr), there is horning when white vehicle get ~50% into lane-1.
Conclusion: Took 2 seconds for lane-2 car to be parallel with lane-1 car, another ~2.5 second for lane-2 car to filter into lane-1? There is 100% not wide enough a grab (about 1/4 car length or less) which could have caused an accident.
Now fellow community mates, u tell me, who is being an ass here?
I believe the BMW driver was pissed off as the White car could have cause an accident thus he reacted... where we see him overtaking on lane-3 (0:56 - 08:18:22hr) and getting back into lane-1 ahead. Beemer was trying to give the White car driver a 'taste of his own medicine' of how it feels when someone infront, for no apparent reason almost causes a front-to-rear accident.
My take on the situation - White car was the original ASS and he deserves the treatment by the Beemer... hey, the beemer gave about 4.5-5 car length before he did the stunt as a pay back.
Cents worth. I am not siding BMW driver just bcoz I drive one too.
