Those Pesky T5 Drivers

Yawn... These videos pop up from time to time, and everyone shows their disgrace and comments on the manner of driving condemning the drivers to a life of busses and public transport, yet nothing changes, and only gets worse.
Anyone that does the distance I do, every day, in every location/direction will know this is not unusual driving, and this crap is getting far worse, and far more extreme.
My daughter has recently joined the rest of us on the roads, and I gave her one tip. Never try to 'one up' anyone, specially middle aged men like me. Many of them won't let it go at a hoot and a hand gesture, and this clip is often the results of something that happened miles back, way off any 'good samaritans' that's chasing them with a phone camera, or a dashcam just to post them on-line.
I drove through 4 countries last month, and not once did I have any issues of road rage or selfish nobs cutting me up, until I got back over in the UK.
 
It's true then, we're actually being expelled from Europe?

If you wait about another 2 minutes after the main action a brown camper goes hammering by at nearly 50 mph after these clowns... you can hear a loud tutting sound as it goes by, just above the diesel rattle and tyre noise... :oops:

This. I drive around 25-30k miles a year and UK driving standards are awful.
Almost every day I get cut up, pulled out on, and nearly driven into due to drivers doing other things than actually concentrating on where their 2 tonne missile is going.
My 22 year old daughter was followed home a couple of weeks ago by a middle-aged male who apparently had an issue. Luckily a neighbour was home with the company car, he's a traffic officer, and he was shown the error of his ways.
