The original submission notes: “On 15 October 2026, I was driving near the main car-park entrance at the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI) in Newcastle upon Tyne. At this location, one lane filters into two lanes. As I travelled through this section, a Renault vehicle in the adjacent lane, which did not filter in the same way, moved across into my path. I had to brake sharply to avoid a collision. I obtained the vehicle’s registration number. The driver appeared to be a woman with grey, curly hair and a relatively small build. I am unsure whether the vehicle was a Renault Clio or Renault Scénic. Unfortunately, I do not have dashcam footage or independent witnesses. I am submitting this report because the manoeuvre caused me concern for road safety, as I had to brake sharply to avoid a potential collision. I hope this report can help raise awareness of the incident and may be useful if similar driving behaviour is reported in the future.” Keeping this first-hand wording matters because it preserves how the event was experienced at the time of reporting. As more reports are logged from the same area, small details such as overtaking style, lane movement, junction pressure, or recurring time windows can reveal whether this is an isolated event or part of a broader local trend.

This incident is best read alongside nearby reports to understand whether the behaviour is occasional or recurring. Comparing reports by location and incident type helps surface trends that are more actionable than any single account on its own.
