Heart Of The Borders V - Sunday 30th August 2009

Been holding back on commentating on the idiot in the flat bad truck and what happened in Greenlaw.

My Mum and Dad actually video'd us all going past their house, so we have on video exactly what happened. Dad brought the video over today and I've uploaded it to YouTube for your viewing pleasure.

It seems pretty clear to me, some MINI's may have gone through the 30mph sign a tad quicker than they should have, although the majority were well within the speed limit as we were pretty bunched up. However it's pretty clear to me, this guy has started to pull out into the main road without looking, realised his mistake and decided to shout at the innocent MINI's rather than chastising himself for not looking where he was going. Then causes a further obstruction by stopping outside my folks's house to swear at some more drivers, just because he can.

This guy went back to my Mum and Dad's house 20 mins after we all left the area and said he'd complained to the Police and if they asked for it, would he hand over the video tape. Based on what's on the video, if they were asked for it, the only person possibly facing charges would be the guy driving the flat bed, for driving without due care and attention.:laugh:

As you can see I got the full brunt off it:D I'm captain slow.........its always the case. :thumbs up: I had slowed as like a Taxi these vans have a mind of there own.

And a big Hello to your Mum and Dad.

Brilliant, I thought he'd pulled out on someone else before me but no. I do remember checking my speed when I saw the sign coming up as I thought he might have been shouting and pulling out (To make a point) regarding that but my speed was 40 when I saw him which was before the sign. I admit I may have been a little fast as I came past the sign but that was just shock at what had happened and forgot to check my speed when I came into the 30mph.

If you watch him right from the start, he was sitting back from the junction for a while before coming up to it to pull out..

Then sitting on the main road reversing into the traffic and being aggressive? Whit a numpty. Yeah.. go on.. give the Police the video... :D

All pictures uploaded to the online gallery :thumbs up:

What a 'tool' :moonie:

What an arse, I mean he didnt even indicate to pull over to the side of the road to mouth off to you guys and what was that reversing manouvre all about :rolleyes: :moonie:

I was the middle car of the three that he pulled out on. He had a clear view of us coming but just didn't look. We were still in the 60mph zone when he pulled out. The 30 signs were after the junction.

Arse, well to done to everyone I thought that clip was a testimont to everyone, and hats off to those who took the abuse, think I may have been more vocal had he shouted at me. Great wee clip though.

What's the clip under in YouTube
