Im not sayin he was right, but the car coulda pulled in once he saw the escort pickupCome on you two that combine driver was a complete tw*t and should be embarrassed with himself, his “escort” wasn’t much better. No blame on the car driver at all.
Perhaps he’s on here
I can't disagree with the arrogant twunt bit. But sometimes taking avoiding action is your safest bet.
Rather claim for a new door off his insurance than a new wheel off mine. If you take evading action, it’s harder to blame the other guys.
Never never ever use your hazards when escorting please!!! A good escort driver will slow vehicles. Get well ahead. Stop on blind corners next to pull in places. Use your vehicle and push drivers over. You have the luxury that if they ignor at last minute you call pull back onto your side!
I’d say the steering wheel attendant was in the combine. It wouldn’t matter if car driver had another 3ft of tar to pull into. If the gaps not big enough you stop. If it’s tight you slow to a crawl. Not every car driver has great spacial awareness especially judging their passenger side. But although that can be frustrating you don’t just charge on regardless.Car driver didn't come across as the type to venture over onto the dirty green & muddy stuff, and most wont either (steering wheel attendants, between the white lines drivers, etc...).
Just one of those things, on one of those days...

yet you are commenting on the combine driver..., and that of myself...
1. With hazards on you are unable to indicate the direction you are turning
Highway Code…….
I've watched the video a number of times and not seen a pilot vehicle. I did see someone in a ute with a flashing bar on the grill.
He`s the guy that was driving the combine earlier i think
Don't disagree, but when you look at the damage to the car it doesn't start till the drivers door handle. Car driver obviously could tuck his front end in enough but forgot about the rear. Many times I've had cars back up for me and they get tight to their side of the road giving just enough room to get past but leave their wheel turned out at full lock
The other thing is ultimately whoever is moving is at fault so if you can stop do.
