his own website has a longer version of the video, and it seems even more self incriminating
driving unpredictably in the middle lane, waits for hgv to pass, (since he puts hazard lights on it does indicate to the hgv that the car has a
problem. )
but then apparently speeding up and staying in the middle lane, forcing the hgv to stay in the third lane. whilst hiding in the blind spot...
its not his only video of him forcing a situation either:

I hope one of the local forces picks it up, for the motoring offences, and investigate fraud

He runs a website www.policewitness.com and uses the same footage as a promo video!
Nowhere does he say that the person in the video is himself. Clearly he set out to create a confrontation with an HGV in order to get video for his
website. I hope the police know this. How many other drivers did he provoke until he got one to lose his cool?
Rules are for the guidance of wise men ... and the obedience of fools. (anon)

"Mr Stockdale, who runs a dashcam company, followed the lorry to a depot in Dunstable where an ambulance took him to hospital with neck and
shoulder pain."
Looks like he is trying to drum up free advertising!

He and a bit of the video was on the local BBC TV Look East this eve said something like the lorry frightened him so he couldn't move into the
inside lane, but then 1/4 hr later chases the truck and tries to get him to stop. Then follows truck to the depot and films the driver, apparently
the contract truck driver no longer works for the company.
Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

OK, car driver is a muppet but the HGV driver is well out of order, you can't use a artic as a weapon and expect to keep driving.

What a knob. He needs to reassess what 'one metre' looks like, stop driving in the wrong lane, and, if his tyres really were
'squealing', get his ABS fixed!

The blokes a tool and is clearly using "peril" tactics and words to sell his product
He needs a good £850000 fine as a dose of shut the f up
Frightened my Arsenal he should not be on the road that road layout is the norm on the uk

Not watched the video, but IMHO there are a lot of bad drivers around who could do without driving for a year to inject some sense!
As an example, our local Tesco Express creates a hazard with traffic due to pi55 poor parking and generally not so bright people.

Totally agree. Everything points to to the dickhead in the car deliberately creating this situation for promotion of his company. The HGV
driver's reaction is not excusable, and it sounds like he's lost his job, but I'd like to see Mr Stockdale get his just deserts as
well.

If there is any remaining doubt as to how much of a cretin Mr Stockdale is, have a look at another of his
dashcam
videos. The guy is an absolute weapon.

"There are no signs that the lane is ending." - um, how about the merge arrows Mr Stockdale... What an idiot!
What amazes me is that, having fitted a dash cam myself a year or so ago, I have recorded so many genuinely dangerous and stupid examples of driving
(not mine before you say it!) that I don't understand the need to contrive situations like he seems to be doing.

Driving without due care and attention for the numpty Stockdale in the car and dangerous driving for the LGV driver.
I would like to see him ride a motorcycle like he drives his car he would last about 5 minutes!

Can´t you guys in the UK Submit these videos to the police or whichever appropriate transit governing body for review?
Then maybe, just maybe he gets what he deserves.
Maybe a warning is enough (maybe not).
If he doesn´t get the point, at some point he will eventually become a victim of road rage...
Unless he is armed and willing to use his gun to prove his manners...
Not that I condone Road rage or gun use...

What a complete tool.
If you have a look at the comments on that website it's clear that the only people taken in appear to be the 'journalists'
publicising his videos... presumably having received a payment for featuring his crap as adverts for the dashcam business he runs.

Here in Mexico isn´t allowed either, the problem is people that don´t give a 54it and carry one anyways.
Those are the most dangerous as most likely they don´t have anything to lose.

A good thing too IMO, would only lead to improper use if people were allowed to carry them.
