Great video Darren. The Neo looks really impressive!

I see you recorded the audio with the DJI Mic 2 but how can you then add it to the video footage? I think the phone needs to be unlocked all the time, that this works?

Can anyone explain the hidden bonus of tightly pressing the drones between both hands before take off? Or does grandpa need explaining why the drone wont take off half the time?

all the best ive seen of the neo is blokes on bikes..a must carry tool is a drone......i got 2 batts for neo so mini can cool before fresh batt change 1hr 30 mins combine

Not an easy song, and very underrated, nice job! Merry Christmas!

Defy 1 2022?

Downhill turbo?

Oh my Goodness! I was on the same cruise on that exact same date! Small world! 😀

Im getting the tavascan in January, i wanted the born but needed slightly more space ,the seats are audi rs4 level good

Just returned from 14 days down to the Canaries, Cadiz and Morocco. Never been with MSC before and won’t be returning! Absolutely awful experience and so pleased to be back home, even if it is raining. I likened it to a Butlins ‘booze cruise’! Cut off jeans and flip flops to dine in, really!

I was onboard October last year, on a cruise down to Spain that got diverted because of a forecast for severe weather in Northern Spain, watching bring back happy memories. Travelled with Fantastica package so got to select my cabin and early meal time, when I missed the meal time I just went to the buffet. The two carousel shows were very good, well worth watching. Since then I have travelled on a different ship, the slightly smaller size but still large Spendida, it is amazing how the ship's features have evolved, it makes the older (small) ships look and feel ... old. I hope to take the same trip as you did in a year or two, thanks for broadcasting.

Me to I was also on there at the same time 20th October to 25th October or was it 26th October

Me to I was also on there at the same time 20th October to 25th October or was it 26th October

We were on that cruise 🎉😊

Nice video, Id like to see your thoughts on a Princess or if you get a chance Virgin next 😜

This is my favourite ship!! I really miss it though, I hope you had an amazing time!

I think the Dinamica gray seast are a nicer seat than the ones in the vz.

are these the original tyres? if so, did you upgrade them in the mean time? how does the bike hold up since you made the video? cheers!

Have you had any issues with android auto/apple carplay connecting slowly (taking 1-2 minutes)? On reddit a bunch of people complain about that, but mostly on older versions (from 2022/23) and I'm wondering if its fixed int he new or even the VZ version

All the apps tou talk of also jave thr option to send out an RFID card. So just keep thr cards in the clove box. But youll soon thr cards thst worl for you. Tesla tou need to notj have thr apps, and teslsa is s must, BUT thr birn is compatible with tesla plug and charge, once registered, you wont need thr app or anything, just plug it in snd it will just work. As does the octopus plug snd charge system. I think chargemap and zap map are roliing this out too And if she really comes stick she csn just use ther tap snd pay bank card. Bit for me tesla is a must octopus is and tou csn just add your charge nill onto your monthly house power bill (sp you pay for the charge 5-8 weeks later. And of you got the £750 free cupra credit thr card for thst too. Zap map and charch map are good for bsck ups, but thst woudl ne for emergsncies. As you want to be always useimg tessla to charge. Its the cheapest by far and they slways work and charge at full ehack asr they are rated for 250 and 350. Your car is rated for 165kwh. A 150kwh charger would ne fone too So ifyou have thr cupra credit. Utilise that forst, then bin it and got tesla only.

Did u use the car play and did u have any problems with it disconnecting and reconnecting

As a recent purchaser of a Born V2, a lot of your likes and dislikes apply equally to the regular Borns as they do to your VZ. One thing I picked up on in your video was about the panel that you can swipe down from the top of the touchscreen. You commented about not being able to choose which icons are available (I think you wanted the speed warning toggle), and you can actually choose which ones are displayed. Just press and hold on one of the icons and a further menu bar opens below it where you can pick and choose the icons you want and where you want them displayed. There’s also a favourite setting icon at the far left which you can configure to have e.g. lane & speed warning off, although I haven’t quite figured out how that works exactly. Anyway, hope you find this useful.

So what's the conclusion?

How are you all getting on with range on a long range born ? I know it won't get near the 330 miles but was wondering as I'm very interested in a long range v3 model

If I recall correctly, Black Belt Barrister spent numerous videos saying that recent changes to the Highway Code, surrounding changes to the hierarchy of users, would result in chaos. Chaos that doesn't seem to have materialised. Funny that. He may be a barrister but like anyone he has his own political views which seep through in some of his videos. It's been a long time since I watched his videos so do take this with a pinch of salt but I believe he was referring to asylum seekers as 'illegal immigrants'? I mean some are but I think that was in reference to small boat crossings which wouldn't be illegal immigrants, only people who overstay their visas. It struck me as right wing rhetoric.

To much assuming on your part. To much assuming by the cyclist. To much assuming on the driver.

I have to disagree on a couple of points here. I think if you are changing position on the road ( which the cyclist obviously did as he positioned himself in front of the car as opposed to being at the side of it ) then it is a basic safety requirement to do a quick over the shoulder glance behind to make sure it is safe to carry out the aforementioned manouvre , it is very dangerous to just assume that you are okay to carry out the manouvre without the very minimal safety check beforehand. Secondly, the safest thing the cyclist could have done was to drop back behind the car where he is completely out of danger, ultimately a car is going to be faster on the road than a cyclist and for the sake of giving up a few metres of road space or to possibly give your ego a stroke by maintaining the lead position rather than keep yourself safe is quite ridiculous.. Yes, I totally agree that the car was too close to the cyclist but the easiest, quickest and safest remedy for the cyclist would have been to drop behind the car but unfortunately in the modern "me first" , selfish style of road use that meant he would have lost face and so a greater risk was initiated by what the cyclist did. To be honest, taking government advice is never my first port of call especially in this situation as it sounds like the government wishes to put the cyclist in constant danger from what I could garner from your quotes from the highway code.

How many deaths by bikes in the uk? Look it up its very interesting.

The rules of the road fall into "shoulds" and "musts". Advice is exactly that, and also doesn't trump riding safely. It is how you get to primary position that matters. No road user can force priority and there is no such thing as right of way, priority has to be given not take that is is the system in the UK (the US does have the concept of right of way in the law). It could be the worst driver in the world you are interacting with, in that case the best you thing you could do it let them go on their way report them, etc. You aren't improving the flow forcing them to yield to you regardless of who you think is in the right.

I largely agree, but looking at the standard of driving here, I do wonder why the cyclist proceeded to undertake and then move into the vehicle's path at such close distance (he definitely moves to the left). I think the cyclist was looking for an altercation or at least not applying common sense. And banging on a window? Yes, that's sure to bring out the best in someone.

A few things. Yes the car is wrong to the that near, but also you are in danger you can use the space you have and drop back. When both road users what to the be right that is when people get hurt. If the driver is driving like that then avoid them. Second this is a legal opinion by a qualified a barrister with experience not what you might might think is fair. Priority is given not taken. You improve the flow when safe to do so, do even if you are to assume a road position you have to do that safely. Wander is correct term because the cyclist doesn't even have mirror and didn't check the distance. Consider the cyclist is itself overtaking the car, then they overtook in an unsafe manner regardless of if the car is in the wrong. In the criminal case two wrong aren't weighed against each other they are consider in their won right, and it only if the facts contradict would one displace the other, but not who is more wrong. . There are parked cars on the other side three is not enough space for both of them, while the car is in the wrong, the cyclist also need to preserve themselves.

im from holland we al have a bike here but the problem we face is dicks on bikes that think thy ar in the toer the france i woud never overtake a car that thiing is 2 ton ! i woud say on side and see what he dose before making my move and my move woud be realy slow too and this guy saying in english law you need to make sure thy cant overtake you WTF thats like asking a kid to fight a profesonal boxxer and expect him to win you guys ar just realy bad at biking and use it as sport normal people use it to travel

The barrister just appeared to throw as much mud into the water as possible. The basic facts of this situation are total impatience on car drivers side

Absolutely the car drivers fault. Total impatience on this car driver’s side he’s totally unwilling to hang back a few seconds and that’s all it requires just a few seconds and everyone gets in with their day with no issues or injuries.

is the vz expensive to lease?

So we have to choose between the opinion of a qualified barrister with three quarters of a million subscribers and the opinion of a lay person with 500 subscribers Hmmmm Let me think 😂

If riding a bike on the roads is so dangerous why do it. I realise you cannot mitigate stulidity but this seems to me like a very unnecessary risk. I have lived in the UK for a while, cyclists generally do not obey the laws of the road here, red lights are meaningless and your interpretation of the highway code is generous, as my understanding there is no clear definition what primary postion is for example. This is not Holland and I see riders in peloton formation which may or may not be legal but it is stupid.

I told him he was full of shyte it was 100 % the cars fault

Cyclist is completely at fault for getting knocked off. As for getting squeezed out of the lane, that's a different matter. It was pure negligence to make a manoeuvre so close to the car behind without checking its position. A lot of perspective is given from yourself for the cyclist and how they might be feeling, but as a driver also, I'd have also expected a counterpoint to your own argument if you were being objective. The car knew they were there and, assuming no malicious intent, they weren't doing anything to try and endanger the cyclist further. They probably didn't expect the cyclist to get so close to their car when moving in front. Also consider that many drivers have the best intentions when navigating near cyclists, but often don't know how to specifically handle situations like this. It's perhaps expected that the cyclist would remain alongside them, especially if the cyclist pushed up alongside them in the first place (which they often do, and they shouldn't). It could be argued that more education is needed around cyclists when learning to drive, I wouldn't disagree. If the cyclist's position was that they were terrified that the car was getting too close to them, that argument falls apart when they go to overtake far too close. Just because you are more vulnerable on the road, it does not give you a legal pass to be more reckless. You share equal responsibility for your safety as the road users around you.

As someone who has been hit off of a bike very recently I can say now with full confidence that these situations are almost never 100% to blame on one party (obviously there is the odd exception). In my case I was struck from behind by a van after I turned left at a give-way line. In my mind I was "miles" up the road and struck in the back, in the drivers mind I was mid-way through the turn and hit him side on. Thanks to our underfunded and overworked police there was no official follow up and I just paid the driver for the slight damages to move on. In this particular case shown in the video I would say the cyclist and the driver where both at fault. The driver didn't appropriately back off when told to however, the cyclist should've glanced over before moving in front of the car. Any road user should know to check behind before moving position. If the cyclist had done this then he'd have seen it was clearly unsafe for him to move in front of the car. On the other hand, the driver is an utter clown for not taking excess caution when being alerted to the presence of a cyclist to their right hand side. I'd argue that this is 70% the drivers fault and 30% the cyclists. My unprofessional and "technically illegal" recommendation to prevent this is to use the pavement/sidewalk when absolutely necessary.

I disagree. From what I can see it wasn’t safe to move into the primary position when they did. The car was still too close. If the cyclist had taken more care an attention before starting to move over they would have seen that. The highway code you read said move into the primary position “if safe”, if safe being the key part. I would argue that at the time they tried to move, it wasn’t safe. Just my opinion based on what I can see.

The cyclist had the opportunity to back off but he chose to engage, his fault

In my country there would not be any debate - you never have the right to drive into somebody - and it will never be the "soft road user" as we call it here, that has the blame. So the car should allways give away for the bike, and the bike should allways give away for the pedestrian.. Allways.. If a car hits a bike - it is the cars fault.

as the car was ahead the bike should have pulled behind car and then gained prime position

Is BlackBeltBarrister your identical twin?

so you think cyclists can ride anywhere and any way they want and drivers must give way to them at all times

I think your statement about moving In front of the car is beyond crazy, you are advised to move In front and hold place but following the other laws ie. the 4 second rule of space not just straight under the wheels. if you are already self advised the car is dangerous don't throw yourself under the wheels surely. you will also see in the highway code you read move into the lane IF IT IS SAFE TO DO SO. not so safe under the wheels as he examples. To be clear i do agree the car is to close and have moved in a line across the bike and the car is certainly at fault as well. i cant see from the vid who started the issue saying a car is dangerous so it should give way full stop is the same as a man standing in the train tracks saying stop train your bigger than me and very deadly stop mr train for i am mere flesh and you are a train of steel.

taking primary for the cyclist or as i call it, impeding the car

I had a V258kwh for two years. I thought it was the best family 5 seater on the market. Absolutely loved it. Then I got a VZ. Absolutely brilliant. The infotainment is much improved. The only sound you hear is tyre noise and despite 20" wheels that is still quite muted. Performance was brisk in my V2, in my VZ it is as quick as you will ever need. Range is all you will ever need. I can't go more than 150 miles without a comfort break, fast chargers always available wherever I stop, plug in, do what I have to do, come back and the car is good for another 200+ miles. Comfort is excellent, instrumentation superb. There is nothing I can find fault with.

If you banged on the window, then why not slow down and let them get in front?seconds ,surely you can slow down, car is a very dangerous thing. Cyclist is not. Even though you have rights, self preserving is more important?
