Disco3 stickers spotted on a video on you tube.
It's a bit fuzzy but I looks like a disco3 sticker on the discovery on this video at 4.25 minutes in.
Not the discovery driver at fault tho in anyway just spotted.

Although it would appear that the D3 driver left his decision to get off the A3220 slip lane back on to the A40 a little late...

And obviously didn't want to wear out his indicator bulbs. IMHO both him and the Vectra (or whatever they are called now) are at fault, D3 driver for being half asleep and being caught in the wrong lane then carving into the middle lane without indicating. Obviously using "might is right" mantra but not anticipating a loon in a repmobile stonking up the middle.

Looks like the guy was being tail gated ...the Disco driver was asleep throughout though
Also ..the bit with the vehicles overtaking the bus at 4.57 ...the offended driver is an idiot as the other vehicles were already fully committed to their manoeuvre ...despite them being on his side of the road he should have been prepared to slow down or stop rather than mount the pavement. 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

The bloke in the Focus at about 3:30 would have really me off, after nearly pulling out in front of someone he then has the nerve to clap at them.
I get the fact the other driver was then probably trying to stop him from pulling out, but even so Andy

[...]then carving into the middle lane without indicating[...]
Looks to me like he did, but for a scant moment before pulling across. His lane positioning & speed prior certainly suggests he wasn't really concentrating.Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana

Thought that was a brief dab at the brakes. Had someone been beside him (with every right to be there) he'd have gone into him. Or the barrier.

That biker near the beginning of the clip was lucky not to have gone under that HGV. Riding right up the chuff of that van with no space to react to its braking.

That stretch of the A40 involving the D3 has recently been changed to average speed cameras with a limit of 40mph. I use it once a week very early in the morning when there is virtually nothing on it. Plodding along at 40mph when it would be quite safe to do 60/70mph is a real PITA
Also, if I had a £ for every time I see a car poodle down the middle lane and then pull over to the left at the last second to go down the slip road where that D3 jumped into the middle lane, I'd be £46,752 better off Discovery 4 HSE

Just seen this - that's just by my house. Had a nasty feeling it was SWMBO, but wrong wheels. I wouldn't be surprised though! VIN: A175A328***

Hope the person overtaking on the pavement got dealt with
I've noticed whenever someone cuts you up or whatever they always try to make out its your fault or return with a barrage of insults or gestures for blasting the horn at them

Now I've got the D3 I see two type of other drivers, those that give me loads of room and those that think it is slow and want to get ahead of me or past me before I come through!
Did have one try to turn left from the right turn lane on a motoryway rounabout, I was in the middle lane. The final gap between us can't have been more than 10mm, he still pushed past me then passed across the front of me across the left lane down a slip road and parked up in the righthand lane of that!Series 1 V8
Series 2 Hibrid V8
Discovery 3 HSE V8
