13 took that corner with too much zeal

#11 5:42 It didn't help that you were less than half of the braking distance behind the car in front. You can't see in front of them especially in the dark so why drive so close? Could be any reason they stop suddenly, a fox, a child, a pothole, or they see a layby to stop at and take a look at a map for an alternative route in this instance.

There is no highway code rule giving priority in this scenario. In reality, the traffic that needs to change lanes should give priority, but as others have stated, once committed - they can't do that anymore, so others should accommodate.

Hard disagree. Plenty of cases where drivers who are way too old or lack skill slam the brakes utterly randomly. I hit one such oldie because at a intersection where I am obligated to look left (unless I want to murder a cyclist) he began to turn right, then realises he's so old he needs two lanes and there's a oncoming car 50+ meters out, and he went into a boomer-induced psychosis and slammed the brakes. Had to take it all the way to court to win, but did win: He had no reason to brake, drove carelessly so I'm under no obligation to avoid hitting him.

#18 - I know the road well, both lanes used to go to the traffic lights, with a feeder lane going left to a junction to join the road heading to Stourbridge. There used to be no issues with traffic here, then some bright spark decided to change to lanes so the left lane takes the left turn and only the right lane goes straight on to the lights. Whilst there is signage, many vehicles make the same mistake as the van here, with similar results. in my view, very poor road layout change causing significant potential for traffic accidents.

There was no mistake. Look at the clip once again. And never use Novum Structures.

#13 Doesn’t help when cars are parked on a blind corner forcing cars onto the wrong side of the road into on coming traffic.

Clip 7 - Something that you learn if you take advanced driving courses in the UK is that you don't always need to use indicators to signal a lane change. In the case of those police cars, their lane change was perfectly safe, and no other vehicles were placed in danger. When you can see the whole of the car behind you in your rear-view mirror generally means it is safe not to use indicators, of course to judge when the car in front is at a safe distance is usually the "2-3 second rule." Btw, traffic police all undergo advanced driving techniques.

When I did my advanced driving (IAM) I was told that to move right you should generally indicate, after all; you are also telling the person in front that you are about to move out, but if you are moving left, since that is where you should be, you generally don't need to. Sometimes it's a good idea to do so, but it's not always needed. I was also taught that until you can see both front headlights of the vehicle you have just passed in your rear view mirror, not your left wing mirror your rear view mirror, it's not safe to pull left.
