I, for one, really enjoy the longer vids. I love that I am not the only one to find these things annoying and verbalise my feelings.
Me too. It gives us more context of complex driving.
Half an hour is fine. As you are funny and interesting. Keep up the great work you do.
Only an idiot would say "concentrate on your own driving".... driving is more than just what you do in your car. It's also about awareness and anticipation - and you can't do those without scanning the road ahead and around you.
I'd say driving is more about concentrating on what others are doing. As a driver, you should be fully aware of what you're doing, but the trick is to work out what those around you are doing.
@@johnnodge4327 My driving instructor always said don't just look at the car in front of you. Look ahead. That saved me many times driving on the motorways to get to work.
@@angeladormer6659 correct, and on a motorway it means scanning up to half a mile ahead and getting the idea of overall car group behaviour and bunching of cars and lorries in the second lane.
@johncranna9427 So true. It prepares you. Sometimes everyone is driving fast on the motorways, but if you look ahead you can see brake lights coming on, I would gradually ease off, then I would not go careering into anything because I'm prepared.
I would argue that 'awareness and anticipation' are equally part of ' your Driving'. and everyones driving for that matter.
The length is perfect
That's what she said!
Reported for filthy innuendo.... haha! :)
😂
Rosehill Roundabout. I had a look at the satellite view on Google Maps and *there* the road markings are quite clear - if only they were when viewed from the ground. Where you started from take the lane closest to the middle (i.e. lane 3), marked right only, along the long side of the roundabout until you just start turning around the curved end. Then glue yourself to the white line on your left which will take you out to lane 1 at the lights between the two halves of the A217. From there it's obvious (you just keep left until you turn off) as that's the route you were already following from that point..
So yes, at the top end of the roundabout from the way we're looking at it, lane 3 does split into three lanes, and after that the new lane 3 immediately splits into two lanes - so in a way that 1 outside line _does_ split into 4 in about 7 car lengths.
7:00 the berk in the merc going to the shopping centre in a hurry had clearly run out of self-entitlement wax!
LDC is correct: Merc driver isn't an arsehole, he's what comes out of one after a bad Ruby.
@@alanclarke4646 Poor old Ruby Murray, I bet she hated that moniker.
Love the longer video. I really enjoy your content and sometimes it just seems to finish too quickly! You were driving around my neck of the woods. I retired from the M&S in that retail park some years ago. The traffic around the Brentford MacDonalds has been a pain for along time with all the building work going on. I had the joy of the M4/M25 today as I was taking my partner to an appointment in Watford. Luckily all the other drivers seemed to be behaving themselves, so the journey was uneventful. 🤣
You've got to give the E-type Jaguar convertible a break. When it was built the electrical systems were supplied by Lucas, Prince of Darkness!
Hi tony
Love the videos
Rosehill roundabout is a nightmare i remember it before the lights,it was even worse
I would love Ashley neal's opinion as i think you were in the wrong lane but i might be wrong
Keep up the good job ❤
Love the length of video ❤
That was enjoyable Tony. Don’t mind if it’s long or short, I enjoy watching the clowns trying to negotiate the roads!!! 😂😂😂
Enzo Ferrari called the E-Type the most beautiful car in the world. And he knew a thing or two about beautiful cars.😁
As long as it's the drophead. The coupe is a bundle of ugliness that makes my mother-in-law look like Sophia Loren by comparison.
Having recently discovered you on UA-cam I am sitting here with a whisky in my hand , binging on your past shows. Keep it up they are the best things since sliced bread.🥃🥃👍👍
They're an absolute treat aren't they.
@@PeterLomax-xl9if
Tony's channel is top entertainment. He's so funny x
Welcome and you won't get bored,trust me.Especially when the quacks start coming.😂😂😂
@@PeterLomax-xl9if
Unfortunately you have to tolerate the hate watchers. They are few,,,, but they come on here to vilify the channel and put Tony down under the guise of 'safety purveyors' and quote useless percentages. This is an entertainment channel and the rest of us love it x
Agreed, I can't understand why he doesn't have many more followers. Why are we such a minority of UA-cam viewers? Perhaps the majority are the featured Numpties! GHUA! (God Help Us All)
its always interesting content so the time flew by! didn't realise it was 27 minutes! So, I have no issues with the length
5:50 Theres absolutely no way I’d let that berk in a Merc back in. I would have closed the gap in front right up.
Then you are asking for trouble. You never know who is at the wheel of another vehicle. Could end badly. As seen in many dashcam videos.
Love the longer version keep it up Tony ❤❤
Wow, that plane was close!! I can see how distracting that could be to some drivers!! 😮
Hubby & I enjoy watching your videos Tony, the longer ones are preferable (in our opinion) but don't really mind either way
😊👍
M1 for East Midlands airport can be good as well but nowhere near as good as being on the perimeter road like that 👍
@smilerbob I've been close to an airport many times, but as a passenger in someone else's car. Not sure how I'd cope while driving myself!! Would just have to repeat out loud "concentrate on the road, concentrate on the road" 😂😂
@@DriveSmartDash The first few times the phrase is “Concentrate on the road, concentrate on the road, concen…bloody ‘eck that was a bit close!” 🤣
@@smilerbob 😂😂
Some years ago now I was travelling on the M25 heading towards Crawley when all the traffic came to a halt. It was the Concorde flying over the top. Everybody stopped to look at it flying over. I’ll never forget that what a fantastic site that was i didn’t blame people for stopping to see Street such a beautiful plane 🛩️🛩️
I used to see Concorde flying overhead quite a lot when I lived between Croydon and West Wickham. A beautiful machine.
@@Chewiebakke yes I totally agree, it was such a shame the way it ended I never got to fly on it. Basically I couldn’t afford to
Tony, you are getting worse. E-type Jag. That means and Ejit will be driving it, type of.
The aircraft? It is a British Airways e-type plane. Piloted by Tarquin almighty and co-piloted by Dougal Forteque, who was saying: " did you see that kia invincible down there Tarquin love?
Red BMW at 7:30 still commited an offence as an amber light still has the same meaning as a red light if you can stop safely. Simply because it is possible to _just_ get beyond the line doesn’t mean you still can’t be penalised if caught
When approaching lights I always ask the question “Can I stop?” so if the lights change I already know if it is brake or keep going 👍
Thanks The London Dash Cam 🚕😊👍PS love the longer videos 🤗
Long or short videos - enjoy them all!
@@rogernichols2414 agreed
Half hour is great Tony, keep 'em coming 👍
Speaking as someone who kept a droptop as my daily driver for 25 years, the baseball cap is pretty much a necessity to keep the sun out of your eyes. If you also have a full head of hair it helps to stop that blowing across your eyes too. If you don't have much up top it stops you getting a sunburned pate. I drove that car for long enough that I went through both the "too much hair" and "not enough hair" stages.
Longer videos will be great please. I love this guy talking, so funny 😊 don't miss a video. Having my dinner and watching it. Keep up the good work 👍 💪
Plane looks like an airbus a320
I like a long video. You keep me smiling 😂
The markings on the roundabout at 18:45 are clear(ish) but confusing. The lane you was in was for straight on only
If you look on the road at 18:55 you will see what looks like a cross and that is the lane markings crossing over for your direction and from the left. Your lane continues down to the A217 and the lane to the right should be used for the direction you and the Audi were going
It is easy to think the layout should be different whe ln you drive it and makes sense to be the way you think it is but unfortunately it isn’t
As for two lanes into one, there is a roundabout on the A38 / A50 junctions that is a 40mph spiral roundabout that is two lanes exiting into an immediate one lane sliproad. Always fun in rush hour 🤣
The longer format vids are better. 30/40 mins seems to be the normal on UA-cam now and perfect for this content. Some are 1hr to 2hrs depending on the video subject.
Average human attention span is about 20 minutes, so no, longer format is not better.
That was enjoyable Tony. Don’t mind if it’s long or short, I enjoy watching the clowns trying to negotiate the roads!!! 😂😂😂
Is there an echo on this channel?
Rose Hill Round about . You should be in the RIGHT TURN lane as the First 2 lanes are to ST Helier Ave ,then almost immediately the Bishopsford Road exit with 2 lanes turn off .What your missing is the firm traffic island allowing you to say Exit 1 Or Exit 3 (stay in middle of roundabout til passing exit 2 then Mirror Signal And slide over . It does help if you use google maps on street view but have it that your looking from ST Helier Ave .Hope this helps you
Longer videos Tony, please...or two short ones lol
the length is perfect
Although I prefer them around 10m -ish, lots of people will prefer 20-30m. Viewing time will tell you, I think, so you could mix it up for a while to see what the analytics tell you.
I've written several times and complained about videos longer than 10-12 minutes. But in your case it's fine Tony, no problem with 27 minutes!
Time flies by anyway. Just love your content!
I like the longer videos but any ones are entertaining as always
If you're struggling to fill the videos up with all the ace drivers in sarf London,maybe your comments are finally hitting home...
A beautiful E type.... Just not driven beautifully. I also own a 🇬🇧 Classic of a similar age and can confirm that every single bulb actually works. A failure to indicate is just lazy.
No shortage of shenanigans but I expect nothing else 🤣.
I prefer a shorter vid - under 20 minutes - but will go with the majority vote as we live in a democracy......
At least; we used to. I'm not so sure now 😮.
Good vid, Tony.
In my opinion Tony, you should keep making them long because I enjoy watching you and so does my mum as you make my day and make me laugh until I fall of the sofa 😂😂
Daily upload of a 10-minute video from you would be the dream! Appreciate you anyway. 🙏👍
Perfect , thanks 😊
Length? Dont care, i enjoy my drives with you, it's the closest I'll ever get to uk now!
7:25, i also break. Easy does it.
Our 🇳🇱 small neighborhood streets are 30 kmh but the roads and street connecting them are 50 kmh.
The whole inner-city from the French capital Paris is 30 km/h.
4:55 On an amber at the lights? It depends om what I am sat on. If on the 1959 AJS, then the brakes.. 1992 CBR900RRn accelerator 1987 GPX750R F1.. could be either, depends on a few things like weather, wind or if I had put the brain into gear before I got that out of the shed... 1953 Mobilette... would be at least 3 towns before I got there anyway. On the second one with the peds.. brake on all of the bikes. hit one of those and that claret isn't nice to clean off and gets into all the cracks... besides it those peds are not that soft soft and you try getting a fairing for a 1992 ... immediate write off
Yes, it's hell getting the soggy bits off the wheels!😅
For the AJS after the word "brakes" you missed off "and pray they work". Me and my mate Dave once stripped and rebuilt an AJS single engine in an afternoon on the drive at Pat's house. Beautifully simple engine to work on. Patricia wasn't too keen on the fact that we used her oven at one point to do a bit of expanding the bore to get everything back together.
You was OK at Rosehill roundabout. I used to live in Neath Gardens, just down Bishopsford Road, and you followed the markings correctly from Reigate Avenue. But, having said that, the way I would go round it when it was busy was boot down and go for it. Used to be a nice old pub where Lidl`s is now. Within easy staggering distance of home. Long or short, all your vids are good.
Up here in Scotland it's hard to look to far ahead as you are busy watching for the bloody pot holes.
I do not drive and i can see the problems when watching your clips, and you have to expect the unexpected with the idiots on our roads
Question: Is your Dashcam clock on GMT or adjusted for BST?
I like the longer videos Tony, I wish they were longer still.
Any length of video is fine by me
Ooops.....maybe I should post a meaningful comment to keep the miserable watchers happy 😂
And....the first bite 😂
@suziforester Looks like someone deleted their comment Suzi 😂
Andrew White responded within a few minutes to my post... "And the first bite😂"....
He has removed his comment as he usually does. Point proven. Pathetic coward
@@DriveSmartDash
Yes....one of mine has been removed, maybe
'YOU KNOW WHO' complained again...ha ha ha
@@DriveSmartDash
You'll see him comment throughout and delete them
Love it , keep doing what you're doing !! Long vids our fine by us 😀
Hi half hour videos would be great 😊
Hi Tony, I like your longer videos. Longer video = more idiots.
At the Chessington /Leatherhead there is no yellow box junction Painted or worn out .If I had you up on retest that would be 1 then another for hesitation and failure to maintain headway
Longer format is much better.👍👍👍
First...as usual 😂❤
6:30 the berk in a Merc , he's a - Traffic, Without, A, Thought
Can you make your videos longer. Me and the Mrs watch them and laugh at your commentary. Also good to see Carshalton and Rose hill as I used to live there. Now live in Bognor Regis. The driving down here isn't much better.
That green car is a Austin Allegro Convertible.
But its a Jaaaaggg.
27 min Ok More Of Laugh @ Num Nuts Is
The longer the better if possible
RHS Wisley is not far from you, have you ever considered an alternative career in horticulture? Or will that just spawn a new UA-cam channel moaning about slugs and ferral pigeons!!🤪
Don't get me started on slugs 😁
Shorter but more action packed.
Less = more in some of these videos.
Don't you know you can save fuel slipstreaming a bus?
I am one of those cyclists you love so much, but I often get to lights and pull up alongside tailgaters to ask "How much do you save from slipstreaming like that?" 9 times out of 10 they have no idea what i'm getting at.
5:37, this infrastructure looks good and modern. 👍
Series 2 E Type Jaguar 4.2 ltr 😀😀👍👍
Everyone local to rosehill roundabout knows which lane they should be in but some try to sneak round using the middle lane.
Great video ideal length.
The length is perfect
Thank you
Great video again. Rosehill roundabout is a nightmare I did my driving test in Sutton and had to go round it and had to do an emergency stop due to absolute idiot cut me up and nearly took us out. I was so panicked driving examiner said secure the car he got out to go up to the other driver had words. He then returned to me and said move over to passenger side so he could move his car somewhere safe for me to take over as I was in shock, long story short I did pass first time which was a relief.
The video length is fine, Tony. More idiots to swear at! :)
2:55, British Airways 787 Dreamliner
07:42 my guess is 6
The green car is an e-type Jag, best car ever only let down by it's reliability and electrics which is why the indicators don't work....
That's why you leave the rooftop down so you can wipe the windscreen with your hand PS. I like the longer videos.
The guy driving it was probably old enough to know the hand signals for indicating.
I really Enjoy your Videos and could watch them for 45 minutes to an Hour no problem.🧸🚙🚓
Any length video from you is welcome, watched and enjoyed, Tony!! The longer videos do allow me to eat a meal!! Thanks for the explanations as I have never been on the roads in London - one or two back cabs, one double-decker bus, the rest on foot or using the tube! That Rose-whatever roundabout could put the road names on the lanes, so people get in the correct lane, but those to your right that wanted to exit were queue jumpers who knew exactly what they were doing and that it was wrong. Puts me in mind of some weird intersections in Australia where the right-turn lane is to the left of the straight lane...someone was on drugs when they designed those!!
at amber lights i go for the gas
Amber means stop. I'm sure that you know this.
@@AndrewWhite-fu7bn red means stop
@robs0nz do you have a copy of the Highway Code? It says in it that amber means stop, as long as it is safe to do so.
@@robs0nz It's the 'I go for the gas' quote that gives completely the wrong impression and also a little concerning.
This longer video is better.........Get's me through a whole bottle of wine instead of half!!................The amount of numpties on the road is staggering!!
i like this lenght
I do not know the 'Lidl' roundabout but, as far as I can tell, the roundabout is an oblong shape: from the roundabout the straight-on section is the first exit; the second exit would have been straight across the roundabout, if it wasn't in the way; the third exit is technically the right hand exit, which is the exit the cammer wanted. Therefore, the right-turn floor-marking IS for this exit. BUT, there is a FOURTH exit which goes back parallel to the cammers approach to the roundabout which you exit by being on the far exit off the exit the cammer took!!! Complicated!!!
I'll say this length's perfect
Brake unless I have an Audi etc behind me
Looked like a Jag E Type convertible 🙌🏻
Obs
I stop mostly at amber lights.
So you should, as red follows quickly.
Amber means stop, not think about stopping, as long as it is safe to do so; ie is there a car close behind or am I almost on top of the stop line?
@@johncranna9427 that's what I ment.
Unlike the Unmarked BOMB disposal Lorry turning off at the last possible chance and I'd guess not wanting to panic people with their old fashion dringgg ( \or Two Tone Horn and a bit of a Bell) and use the fitted Sirens and Blue Lights to bully their way in. Nor like the Met Police Training school car coming down to enforce a rolling road block ,As the usual A and M roads haven't got FREE FLOWING TRAFFIC .That's why he stayed ahead as his EXAMINER was watching the traffic controlled and evenly slowed down.Had there been a bad guy behind you he would have stopped traffic flow completely .
The Twat in the Vauxhall is using a slip road to access the maccy . This slip road has also got some Parking Zones Painted NOT a kerb sticking out .
I do enjoy your mini rants and as over the last 40 years my driving career has allowed to be aware the Met Police have to travel further than Chingford and Thames-mead to do their carriageway
On the approach to Rose Hill Roundabout, there's a Khan assassin dropping off his fare whilst blocking the shared pavement / cycle lane...
19:43 you should really be going straight on here for rosehill roadabout, the right hand lane is the only one that goes right here.
Other than the lane markings, it’s also backed up by the ahead only arrow before it. It may be unusual that the right lane splits into multiple lanes from there but that is how it is - I can see how it’s not intuitive since the straight on exit is also slight right bend - which seems like the reason why it’s made massively worse too by all those on the right going straight on 😢. Easier to see this from an armchair than actually being there on the road though so 100% can see why this mix up happens.
Best plane ever, the Airbus e-type...
The Boeing 747 surely?
3:01 hi tony
I believe the plane is an A330 British airways coming from probs Scandinavia
Liking the long video with more funny content.Always makes me laugh when you show the front camera then the rear, especially with the commentary.My daughter laughs at some of the things you say and she's 10😮😮😮.My misses tells me off for letting her watch your vids.She knows most words but I say "as long as you don't repeat them".That being said don't change and keep doing what you're doing 😂😂😂
The Eejit in the E Type (and it was the unloved Americanised, later model not the purists’ earlier versions) didn’t know how to use the fly-off handbrake either!
15’20ish” - From Reigate Avenue (where Victor Meldrew is) to exit at Bishopsford Road towards Mitcham, Wryth Lane for Carshalton or Rosehill to go towards Sutton, the right hand lane is the only choice, the left hand lane markings when one is entering the roundabout only make that a bit clearer when it is literally too late.
We locals know this but the markings at the entry coming from St Helier Avenue are even worse as there are three lanes there and many opt for the inside left lane when they really ought to be in the centre if they want the Rosehill exit for Sutton.
Sadly, as Victor has pointed out, there are many boneheads with cars in the vicinity, I can’t call them all drivers as too many just haven’t a clue.
As an aside, try exiting Lidl’s car park into the roundabout, it is not controlled by the traffic lights so if you want to head to Sutton when (if) there’s a gap, you will either cheese somebody off or have a collision, a real lottery! Now that there is a Lidl at the bottom of Throwley Way, that problem has been resolved for me at least.
2:50 They're just afraid of Boeings and parts falling down onto them.
For someone driving too close these are classic examples:
Driving to Devon when it's dark and I'm on A303 driving at the limit 60. The cars behind me don't want to drive at this speed and zoom past as we are going down a hill. It's quiet so while not legal because of their speed it's safe. As they zoom off in front of me I see the double flash twice of a camera and can't help but laugh as they are both getting a fine for that one.
The worst though probably was me driving at a reasonable distance along M4 in a section that then had a 70 limit (now 50 - go figure that one...) and I have to do an emergency stop from 70 as I see a car that had been driving too close to another spin and an engine is dumped on the road right in front of me steaming. Because I wasn't driving like an idiot I was able to stop and then carry on to my work destination.
Vol 121, your pet hate of Audi drivers you are correct you are surrounded by idiots, take a big sigh keep up the fantastic effort.
Green jag, lucas electric I believe which mean they never work no matter what so he probably did indicate just electric didn't work
Rosehill roundabout was designed by a committee of blind councillors advised by Sadiq Kahn using a ouija board.
Sorry, can't see what you are driving at.
