The overtake itself may have been fine assuming he could see enough of a clear road ahead which seems plausible, but overtaking them slamming the brakes on in front of someone would be pretty damn close on dangerous driving.
No doubt if the police are involved they'd want to see more than that short clip....if they take any interest in it at all.

He has zero cornering confidence! He pushed the cyclist out onto the wrong side of the road on one right hander.
I don't think it's lack of confidence, it's more an absolute lack of ability..
I wonder is he teaching the boyo on the baby Duke

I was waiting for the impact
looks like he could see more than you, pretty sure he rides a bike with that style.
old folk driving at 30mph dont cause accidents,
they only cause other drivers to make poor decisions because of them.
Not a hope in a hidden dip that makes the slight left blind.

The "poor decision" is the cause of blame. Someone else's speed isn't a factor, if you're making the decision you are responsible - and people are perfectly entitled to travel at 30mph if they want.
Absolutely this

Not if they are holding people up with their inconsiderate driving. And questions would need to be asked about the competence, eyesight and ability/mental state of someone driving far below any speed limits and causing huge queues....often oblivious to the fact, unless there was very good reason for it.
Poor decisions are quite often a problem....and driving excessively slow without good cause is also a poor decision.

I can see it from both sides. If someone hasn’t the competence to drive at more than 30 in a 60 then they should be evaluating if they should be on the road. There is also no reason why you should put yourself or anyone else in a position of danger by overtaking like that because of the lack of speed of someone else.

Its the 1 or 2 cars behind the slow ass that causes the problems on a lot of ocassions, never making an attempt to overtake, leaving others behind having to pass 3 or more vehicles.

It's a legal requirement that you do.
Where's this?

Was there not something about trekturz having to pull over with 7 or more vehicles behind or something like that, or did I just imagine that ?
Imaginary.

Rule 169
Do not hold up a long queue of traffic, especially if you are driving a large or slow-moving vehicle. Check your mirrors frequently, and if necessary, pull in where it is safe and let traffic pass.
But that doesnt touch on the blind, incompetent or ignorant aspects of someone who would deliberately drive so slow as to hold up long queues etc.
