Thanks! I have a full driving licence and a CBT certificate for motorcycles so I think I am quite unbiased

Yeah

Well it's a kip anyway so...

I feel like especially in London people are in a mad rush

… Try to actually learn the rules before writing unfair comments. Embarrassing Rule 186 When taking an exit to the right or going full circle, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise signal right and approach in the right-hand lane keep to the right on the roundabout until you need to change lanes to exit the roundabout

This is the UK

@@QiuEnnan You have to be joking! It’s written London in the video title, not UK!

@@mkshaverma Wait I actually can’t tell if this is a joke - London is the capital of the UK

@@QiuEnnanI am not being serious, don’t worry 😉

Oh… OK

No, the reg wasn't clear enough unfortunately so I didn't report it

I agree; there shouldn't be broken white lines on the cycle track - I assume they were put there before The Highway Code changed

hehe ok

@@marcussmith6523 Not the second line. The Highway Code says you should be ready to stop at traffic lights and that means not driving so fast you can’t.

​@@QiuEnnanThe second stop line is the front of the bicycle box which is ahead of the vehicle stop line. Amber was ok, a bus cant do quick stops. Good to see Cyclists stopping at red.

@@marcussmith6523 That's not true - Rule 178 of The Highway Code says that if your vehicle has proceeded over the first white line at the time that the signal goes red, you should stop as soon as possible and *MUST* *stop* *at* *the* *second* *white* *line.* www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/using-the-road-159-to-203

@@QiuEnnan A bit confused, if you are over the first line and it goes red you must stop at the second? You would have to be doing about 2ks to be able to stop in that distance, 10 feet or so! My problem is with the light sequence. The yellow is very brief and for the cross traffic there appears no delay for theirs going green immediately when red comes on. In a previous reply you say "Not the second line" and then you highlight in bold "MUST stop at the second white line." A contradiction and isn't the second line the far end of the bike box? But then I am descended from you rejects that were sent to the sunny climes.

@@hayloft3834 Yeah. The idea is you would have already been braking and you’d cross the first line on the amber light.

Yeah I have tons of videos of that too - it seems that traffic lights are considered advisory in London

@@julians.3420 wait wot

Block means 'to make the movement or flow in (a passage, pipe, road, etc.) difficult or impossible'. The driver made it hard for the police to get past.

Yes of course! Thanks

@@QiuEnnan Thank you so much!

@@WayneTulip-zm9gw Roundabouts are junctions - they are a location where two roads meet

Yes you’re right but in the Highway Code road junctions and roundabouts come under separate sections, not the same section.

@@WayneTulip-zm9gw Rule H2 is not part of the section on junctions

Yes it is, if you look through the Highway Code, look at 3. Road junctions (170 - 183), 170, 2nd bullet point, give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which or from which you are turning, if they have started to cross they have priority, so give way (see Rule H2). Rule H2 is mentioned here.

@@WayneTulip-zm9gw The Highway Code doesn’t say the section on junctions doesn’t apply at roundabouts - the rules for roundabouts are on top of the rules at normal junctions

Why not? There are no signs prohibiting cycles. The Transport Department did not put them up because there are no other direct routes.

Not sure about the UK but here in Oz illegal to enter a junction if it is not clear on the other side, no paint needed.

Yeah, of course! No need to ask :) have a good day!

I dunno - based on how bleeding often I see this, I doubt they will do anything!

wot do you mean?

@@QiuEnnan why u go into oncoming traffic

@@wonderz206 wot? I did not

The Land Rover was the one driving into oncoming traffic.

@@kindnessark8064 ohh I see

Why should I wait in queueing motor traffic which I don’t contribute to at all? Nothing in The Highway Code says I can’t do that. On the other hand that overtaking was inappropriate.

Because it is called roadcraft and exercising a bit of give and take on the road. Rather than politely remain behind the car that was clearly indicating left, you undertook it & no doubt then held it up when the traffic started moving. You gained nothing by this, yet held up another road user, which no doubt you had no thought or concern for. You are correct bikes contribute nothing. They pay nothing towards the upkeep of the roads, the cleaning or repair of them, the maintenance and electricity costs of traffic lights, or a single penny to any cycle lane. At least you are not like Adrian Chapmanlaw. ua-cam.com/video/yGtgcCAIGFM/v-deo.html&lc=UgyGIeSV4sUVAksU6sR4AaABAg.A3IcT8pRkBZA3NeoAoZRjV&ab_channel=AshleyNeal-JustCycling

@@wibbley1 Wrong - I didn’t delay the driver indicating to turn left. Besides, it was clear they were not going to cut me up. The Highway Code says to not overtake where you would force another road user to slow down - they forced me to.

@@QiuEnnan Clearly indicating left. The video cuts too early, so we cannot see if the blue car you undertook as well, overtakes you before the lights. This is called give & take on the road. You stopped behind the white car & could have remained there, so when the lights changed both it & the blue car in front could move safely without risk, Instead you got as far forward as you could, but sensibly did not try to undertake the bus. I must say that in the videos you post, they all demonstrate safe cycling and an understanding that it is everybody's responsibility to avoid risk, regardless who 'is in the right'. I doubt that you will be featuring in any of Ashley's videos.

@@wibbley1 The driver did not overtake me again before the traffic lights. I moved off ahead of them and they turned left behind me. By the way, I have already sent videos to Ashley before and he said my riding was good.

It was only that one driver behind - basically they were going to overtake me sooner but then realised they couldn’t so braked sharply at the last moment! Then they went past as you see in the video

Driver see cyclist…driver being slowed down…driver must get in front at all costs! At least the other driver had a good view unlike those that risk it on a blind bend

@@smilerbob ... Just to get stuck at the next red light :) I can't help but smile a little when someone close passes, only for me to catch them up later on... It can be useful sometimes to overtake, but yeah, mostly it's usually quite pointless in built up areas.

No one serves any purpose on the road apart from for their own self-benefit. Why should I drive a polluting and inefficient car everywhere when it’s just me alone?

What a dumb comment! 😂

@@QiuEnnan most of the cyclists on the road are dressed in Lycra not really going anywhere, whereas most people in cars are driving around for a reason. The amount of fuel a cyclist takes off the road just gets cancelled out with all the cars stuck behind them who have to slow down then accelerate again. Some people have to drive many miles to get to work, where they might do a job that saves thousands of other cars from being on the road. For example in the public transport industry. Yes you can do that in a bike if you are fortunate to live near your work but a lot of people have long commutes.

@@petea7323 The vast majority of drivers are not driving for that purpose. I am unconvinced that cycling does not reduce pollution - I find the amount of fuel I use when driving is basically independent of how many cyclists I encounter. I could drive everywhere (I have a full driving licence), but is that really a smart use of resources?

of course mate, cheers

@@QiuEnnan Thankkksssss!

I think they were responding to an emergency and had no time

Yes mate definitely because they had their blue lights on, if I did what the car did I’d get a fine right away. 😂

He's parking there.

yep they were parking I think but that’s not an excuse! though it was strange how long they drove on the pavement for!

Got confused. He normally rides a bike 🤣

@@wibbley1 You’re obviously very biased and hypocritical

@@QiuEnnan Biased, yes. Based on years of seeing and having to put up with arrogant and entitled, yet very poor cycling standards on the road. Hypocritical, no. Personally, I would like to see mandatory 5 year re-testing of all road users. It seems so many motorists forget all they were taught immediately after passing their test. It seems the norm to not indicate, or slap on the indicators whilst actually turning, making indicating pointless. My pet hate from other road users. For bikes, of course there should be licencing and education. We did the cycling proficiency scheme. Whilst a start, six hours of riding round the playground does not give anybody the road skills required to ride safely on todays busy & congested roads. Pedestrians, yes they need training. We had Tufty & The Green Cross Man at school. Just an hour or two. It should be ongoing tuition throughout the whole of the school years. We see so many idiots just walk out, fixated on their phone, or wearing ear-buds, totally unaware of their surroundings.

I don’t know - it isn’t clear

I don’t understand Ashley - what did I do wrong?

exactly - and also you can’t necessarily see oncoming traffic as easily at night

cheers mate

Hi, yes of course! Thank you

@@QiuEnnan cheers mate 👍

@northeastbaddriversuk you’re welcome

I agree - but I haven’t got the time and energy… Police Scotland are horribly inefficient
