I don't know whats worse, the BMW lane splitting, or the people who think that the Camera car is in the wrong.

Both are abominable.

I can't tell why the car on the right swerves into the camera car after the BMW passes; was it knocked about during the passing maneuver?

[Laconian]

I think it was knocked about and the driver overcorrected.

The camera car was passing.

I think it was knocked about and the driver overcorrected.

It looked like the BMW clearly knocked it in the other lane. The Corsa driver had no time to do anything.

Oh yeah it was knocked. The BMW went airborne a little bit after hitting it.

Looks like a minor lane violation there...

I think the BMW was trying to "shoot the gap", but failed miserably.

[MrH]

It was probably more likely he was just going fast, and thought he could swerve between the two.  Didn't expect them to line up side by side by the time he got there.  No one really intentional tries to shoot for a gap between two lanes.

The result of a person who can't drive, but thinks he owns the road. I say pull his license. Forever. The world would be a better place with him as a pedestrian.

Heh, I had a BMW try to share lanes with me last weekend. (On my motorcycle...) Good thing I'm not armed.
