Report that cunt to the cops. One second later and there could’ve been a fatal collision there.
The maniac is the driver who entered the road without checking it was clear. Is that who you mean?
The SUV driver had already begun their overtaking manoeuvre before the other car was even visible (on the video at least). And from the video it seems that they were perfectly right and safe in doing so (no solid white line, looks straight here, and can’t see any oncoming traffic) so if they had collided the other driver would have been found at fault.
I have no me in County Down yesterday too. On the road into seaford. Over took at least 4 cars and a lorry.
Madness
Definite squeaky bum time there!
If there had have been a collision, could the driver that pulled out be part-liable for not checking if it’s clear, or would liability fall entirely on the driver that was overtaking? Obviously, it would be ill-advised to overtake coming towards a junction, but it’s not illegal, right?
And of course it’s a fucking SUV.
More often than not driving skills in NI seem to he inversely proportional to the size of the car.
Maybe drive quicker than 30mph on a main road.
As silly as this overtake looks, its hard to blame the SUV, Clear road head, no silly overtaking speeds, L plate likely going to be well blow 45mph by the looks of it. No chevrons, no solid white lines, Slightly obscured junction.
If an accident had happened, i would think most of the fault would lay with the car pulling out and failing to check both ways.
As soon as I saw the learner, I didn’t need to watch the rest of your video. Sure enough it all played out as expected. There’s always some wank behind you ready to do a double or triple overtake while you’re looking for a safe gap yourself.

Its the Seats fault, you need to look BOTH ways when pulling out of a junction 🙄
A5?
Volvo was being a bell end overtaking multiple cars, seat on a suicide mission pulling outwithout even looking, but the road layout should not have allowed this to happen.
No indication from the main road that that junction even exists, and if you go back to where the Volvo initiated the overtake, it is just a straight openroad with no junctions visible. It’s not a private lane or driveway, and there is an undertaking space for traffic to get around it.
Should be a ladder junction and double white lines leading up to it, with signs indicating the junction, and stop sogns. Would’ve entirely avoided all of this.
That’s mad, they’re usually inside Omagh.
Why do all SUV drivers always appear to be in a hurry? They’re a danger to everyone on the roads with how they drive.
The car coming out of the junction doesn’t even stop ffs. However Volvo also being an arsehole and overtaking multiple cars at once
As an aside how many do check both ways when turning left onto a main road? Most people give a glance to the right and drive on out. I used to do the same but a video like this made me realise the risk. And I am adamant I was not taught this when learning to drive nor was it highlighted in the theory. But it is something that really should be flagged up more
That car should not have pulled out, the volvo should have anticipated that they would though. Also whilst some leeway should be given to learners, instructors should be encouraging them to make adequate progress on a road like that. Could be the camera effect but doesn’t look like they were going much faster than 30 here.
