Corsa VS Terrano...

AlexD333 · 07-02-2015, 17:30

Title pretty much says it all, we are In heavy slow traffic, two lanes merging into one, lady in the wrong lane tries to push in, so waits by our side crawling forwards for a while tailgating the car infront and then decides to turn in once we moved forwards...

Offside rear terrano arch vs nearside mirror

Would you believe the lady was behind us for about anther 30 seconds after the incident, we pulled in where safe (next available turning) as traffic was crawling. And she carried on!!

Not that I am fussed with her hitting my terrano but she's effectively done a hit n run?!

Views? Opinions?

AlexD333 · 07-02-2015, 17:33

Oh I should mention, I reported to the police once we stopped (5 mins later)

zippy656 · 07-02-2015, 18:11

Any damage to your t2?

clivvy · 07-02-2015, 18:12

yup. How much damage? you get the licence plate?

jims-terrano · 07-02-2015, 18:13

Should of had a dash cam for when the corsa went sailing passed.

Alex, how do you manage to get into these scrapes

Why not add two lengths of scaffolding pole down each side of the Terrano as side impact crash bars, just use some scaffolding clamps to attach them to your front and rear bumpers.

Sorted...

OR you could have let her in infront of you.

DONT GIVE HIM IDEAS

There is a video uploading, you guys can make up your own minds.

My rear arch has a tiny little scrape but i painted it anyway so will re do, although battle scars all over from laning anyway

On the video you can actually see her bully her way infront of a red car, she was in a right turn lane only... Did not want to wait so cut in way infront, my side moved freely, I was infront, then she cam along side and began to bully, I simply stayed where I was..

When we finally set off she pulled forwards after we went past, you can see a shake in the camera slightly.

Credit to me I guess, I signaled to pull over the junction after, we slowed right down and indicated in (with her still behind) she carried straight on

Is that not a hit and run in the eye of the law?

Ok, here we are chaps.

Thought my driving was quite slow and boring really.

You obviously had the right of way,and had no good reason to yield. Perhaps you need a more manly truck.

It wouldn't be unreasonable for the cars to "Zip" in turn, so you let the red car in... your turn, then white corsa tucks in behind.

Now on the other issue, all those cars using the Bus lane... I hope there was a camera on that lane, it looks like there is on that pole... so let's hope it catches a few.

Banshee · 08-02-2015, 03:50

Alex, what are you using to record that with and is it any good at night?

Also did anyone else spot the Burgandy Terrano come down the bus lane with the red burger van trailer on, was later seen in the video at 12:46 reversing down a side street, he must have been doing his trailer test

AlexD333 · 08-02-2015, 08:00

I missed that terrano actually, and yes thanks for the backup chaps, staggered formation ect

The camera is an sj4000 and is very good at night also
