I wouldn't 'call that a swerve from the black car, just a normal lane change. The grey car was going too fast for the approach to a junction, it should have been prepared to stop if necessary. Given that it took about 3 seconds longer to stop than the black car it must have been doing around 40 mph more than the black cars initial 15-20 mph which I suspect puts it well over the speed limit. It also had the opportunity to go around the black car either to the left or the right, plenty of space to use but it failed to take any avoiding action.Pity we couldn't see the colour of the traffic lights. If the black car hadn't swerved into the middle lane it would have been a different outcome. That's a lesson the young driver needs to learn. You don't brake and swerve at the same time unless you are trying to avoid an accident.
It's the hot tarmac/asphalt that causes the tyre squeal.Why do the tyres sound like the fake tyre noises in a USA police chase film?
Don't the Australians have Australian spec tyres that don't overheat on hot roads?It's the hot tarmac/asphalt that causes the tyre squeal.

Why did the video cut out like that?

my guess is it's an old/cheap dashcam that doesn't have gapless recording like most decent ones do. my first dashcam actually overlaps - when it's set to one minute loop, 59.75 seconds into the file1, it starts recording file2. one quarter second later, it closes file 1 and continues recording file2... and so on till i shut the car off. it's not ideal but it prevents the situation you see above.Why did the video cut out like that?
if the light's already yellow and you can easily stop, then you stop - that's what the law says almost everywhere. you shouldn't have to worry about morons behind you who are speeding/texting/facebooking/otherwise not paying attention. as others have pointed out, the silver car in back could have also jumped to the left lane to avoid the crash. based on his speed (and the fact that the black car and lorry were both stopped already) the silver car probably would have run the red light or at least slid into the intersection with his brakes locked up.I think it's the front car's fault.
You don't change lane in front of a fast coming car that's trying to beat yellow light and then immediately stop.
