    The shape of things to come from 1970. An Audi driver hogging the middle lane

    Brilliant, an Audi in the Centre Lane Owners Club.
    Some things never change.

    This is the A40 in London. The first scene appears to be coming from Central London and they appear to exit as if they were going towards Westfield Shopping Centre. The second scene appears to be the same road but in the other direction as if you were coming form Hanger Lane Gyratory

    This can’t be 1970! This red Audi 100 was first registered on June 21st 1971…

      It's definitely the early 1970s rather than later. The other cars look too old and the traffic is too light compared to similar footage shot later in the decade.
      Everything looks cleaner and newer.

      J ran from August 1970 to July 1971 so it’s still possible it’s 1970..?

    Things haven't changed much from the 1970s. Audi drivers not using their indicators & hogging the middle lane.

    It's at least 1971, the ' new ' red Audi lived around another 14 years , last taxed in 1985 ! .

    Just like most of the comments, this actually takes place in the Middle of 1971 if not probably Early 1972.

    The red Audi in the thumbnail was likely a Pathé car...it features prominently in another traffic montage from 1970.

    Driving seems like a pleasure back then. Not much traffic and certainly no dangerous speed cameras.
    Deaths on the roads are not a contribution to the speed limits but to the number of bad drivers.

    Took me an hour to get from the Westgate car park in Oxford to the A420 Cumnor bypass yesterday. Probably about three miles. I had time to observe that 95% of vehicles were diesel/petrol. EVs? Dead already.

    Almost like "Time to Spot the Foreign Car". As well as the Audi I saw a Wartburg & a VW Beetle & van. Possibly a Peugeot 404 at 1:25. Also "Spot the FWD Car". Plenty of Minis & BMC 110/1300s, along with an Austin Maxi. The Audi & Wartburg were also front-drive.

    L'Audi ne fait que suivre le véhicule du cameraman en train de filmer. C'est une conduite cool, sans changement de file, attendant seulement que le véhicule de devant veulle bien se rabattre ... ou changer de direction.

    Hogging the middle lane, tailgating, undertaking, not indicating. You had to be a mind reader to drive on the motorways in those days.

      Check again. He was indicating. The indicators in the 1970s cars were rubbish. if you concentrate you will see he used the indicator to turn left on both occasions.
