Classic bad driving - greenhey
This little cameo on the anticlock M25 last Wed night .

About 3/4 of a mile from exit to A1M . Ahead of me in lane 2, lorry 1,lane 2 someone in Honda CRV . Ahead of lorry, another lorry (2) .
Lorry 1 decides to oevrtake lorry 2 , comes out without signal into path of CRV, gap between them is now about 20 yards at 60-70 mph .CRV hasn\'t anticipated this move, is spooked by lorry 1\'s move , so goes to lane 3, without signal . In lane 3 is a very fast-moving BMW which manages to brake in time .
Lorry 2 turns off at the exit, not having signalled in advance , so lorry 1\'s manoeouvre unnecessary - he reverts to lane 1 . CRV goes back to lane 2.
I doubt any of them had any idea of the danger they , and other road-users had been exposed to .
After all, driving is just what we do between the important bits of the day
