I am 100 % with you I passed my test in 1971 and I think the standard of driving has gone downhill , you keep it up you are doing a good job 👍
The new Highway Code regulations were introduced for one reason only. That is to absolve the stupid from the repercussions of their own stupidity.
Yep, easier to change the highway Code than educate people on how to put their phone down to cross a road
You missed out the emergency stop. That was compulsory in Scotland in 1972. Always remember my test, it drizzled rain all morning and as the examiner said "when I hit the dash with my hand you will do an emergency stop". No sooner had he said that when a small child ran out from the pavement. I stopped, the examiner nearly hit his head on the dash and as we both recovered, he turned and said, "You've passed." Proudest day of my then seventeen-year-old life. The child got an almighty clout from its mother, by the way.
I was terrified of the emergency stop because the cobblestones were slick from recent rain but she made me do it on tarmac without stalling. She still haunts me.
I got stuck behind a funeral procession and a Chinese geezer waved me out of a bastard of a junction and i darent lift my hands to thank him. I thank him every thime i think of him.
Kudos to the kids at 6:20 for the little "thank you" wave.
PS: I passed my California driving test in 1970, my UK car test in 1977, and my UK motorcycle test in 1980. (First time pass for all three)
I'm a 54 year old female and passed my test in 1988 and my husband and I agree with everything you say. Love watching your videos. The standard of driving these days is atrocious.
Been riding Motorbikes for 56 years, always said they’re a good apprenticeship to start driving a car
passed motorbike test at 17, got reliant robin when i was 20, passed car test when i was 23, wife nagged me into it because we had 2 kids.
Definitely that's how I started.
@@thelondondashcam got cycling proficiency test first nearly forgot that
Yes you learn a lot driving a motorcycle
Are you still thinking of learning to drive a car??
I’m an old codger, Tony, approaching 66 and agree 100% with your observations and opinions, on today’s driving standards. WTF is happening. Keep everything as is, much appreciated and keeps me from banging my head against the wall!!! 👍😂👍😂👍
A lot of newcomers to this country have taken their driving ‘test’ in their country of origin where it’s not unknown to bribe their way to a ‘pass’.
@@NobbingNobby Agree 100%, driving standards are in the toilet. My licence was revoked about 2 years ago, due to deteriorating MS condition. My enjoyment now is watching Tony’s posts on LDC. Happy days 😂😂😂
Today they only teach how to pass the test not how to drive they do the test routes over and over glad im older 72
Another great video, Tony. Your videos are a microcosm of the current world we live in. No one seems to give a toss about anything any more. There's so much regulation without enforcement it's no wonder people don't care anymore. I could go on but I'll leave that to you!
Parking on the wrong side facing traffic at night is one thing but the nodern habit of parking with full headlights on makes it impossible to see one's way!
55 and driving 36 years... my wife said I sound like you when i'm driving but without the accent. keep these videos coming
I'm 59 Tony and as people of our generation know we had the Green Cross Code Man played by Darth Vader himself David Prowse. We even had Tufty The Squirrel telling us how to cross the road. Mind you we also had Rolf Harris teaching kids to swim and Jimmy Savile telling us to Clunk Click. So it was a mixed bag of safety based public information films. Turns out you could only really trust the fictional characters.
As a 72 year old codger, I love your videos. To the point and and your narrative is so funny.
As to parking facing oncoming traffic at night. That also applies to daytime. The Highway Code says you SHOULD not park facing oncoming traffic. Time and time again I see driving school drivers picking up clients when parked on the wrong side of the road. It's a bad habit, lazyness and an offence at night. Illegal and enforced in some countries.
07:43 omg, kids think they are immortal nowadays
If we walked out into the road like that wayyy back in the day, some adult would have come and given us a bollocking, and if a parent was there we got a good hard clip over the ear! Learnt!
I don't think there's any "nowadays" about it, kids always have thought they were immortal. I know I did and I'm a fully paid up member of Tony's grumpy old git demographic.
@@ianmason. Me too, hold my beer and watch this!
I was taught the Green Cross code and I still use it today. It has saved my life several times when car drivers have jumped the lights.
I was in the tufty club
@@Howie57 Believe it or not, I use it in supermarkets when coming out of isles, there are some dangerous trolley drivers and disabled scooters in those places ;-)
@@Howie57 Same here, nowdays it should be look left, look right (might be an audi), look left again (might be a berk in a merc) if its safe run like hell you missed the fiat 500 !!
@@johndilloway9762 Pedestrians today seem to expect to put there safety into the hands of the car drivers. I was taught it was my responsibility. Doesn't help as well when they are more interested in there mobile phones, while walking. All the best David
Huh...
Green Cross Code!
You kids had it easy.
Tufty Club was were us tough kids went.
:)
Those kids running out shocked me. Pedestrians have priority? I look both ways when crossing a oneway street, that's how much I trust people.
4:18 Some of us remember Tufty and when Willy Weasel didn't look crossing the road. dropped his icecream!
Great channel, I enjoy how you present the appalling driving around today. I passed my test in 1969 (on a motorbike) and 1971 (in a car), parallel parking, 3 point turn, reversing around a corner all included in the test, along with a lot more stuff. Also all the theory in one tests. Passed both first time and am still driving 55 years later. Keep it up, I look forward to your posts.
They need to bring back the Old Grey Whistle Driving Test. 😂
I'm one of those old gesser who watch you and love your videos
I remember that Ford Taunus, my dad had 1, also a saloon in the color brown, a beautiful car with lots off room inside.
Interesting we 'oldies' watch your videos to completion.
I'm now 75 years young and only gave up my independence and car driving during the covid pandemic. Seemed a waste of money paying for tax/insurance .
Passed my test in a Mini when I was 18 years old and passed the advanced during test at 23 years old. never had an accident in all my years of driving.
Drove a London double decker for 12 years and never had an accident.
Driving a London bus certainly improves one's ability to 'read the road'. If you make a mistake driving a bus, you can't reverse to correct the error.🤣
You appear to live in the same area as me. I lived in Sutton for 20+ years.
I'm certainly glad I now no longer drive with the number of idiots and no insurance drivers on the road.
Great video. Thanks for the entertainment.
I was on holiday in the Scottish Highlands recently and it's very common for "local" drivers to use bully boy tactics to make you move out of the way. Usually by getting right up close. All the smaller roads have lots of passing places, so it's easy to let them pass. But their attitudes show up what kind of drivers they are.
I am 68 and love your vids.You start off all nice and at the end you having a meltdown lol. Following for 3 years.Take care.
BIG rant, but totally 100% correct! Seen lots of what you said for the last few years. I'm 65, keep up the good work 👍
3 point turn, reversing and of course hand signals. That shows my age. At 77 I really enjoy your videos from Bangkok now retired here.
Cos we enjoy your videos. I'm 57 and love them. They don't do 3 points and reverse round corners anymore.
The new rules about priority for pedestrians and cycles are ludicrous and bloody dangerous.
I totally agree with you 100%
It was a bloody stupid idea, now they just dont care because no matter what happens they will alway's be in the right.
@@johndilloway9762 Always a good thing to have inscribed on your headstone. 🙄
Hold up everyone........ I've beaten Suzi to the comments section 🤣🤣
Bugger...I was busy❤
One of my son's workmates passed his driving test a few months ago. I understand, from what my son said, that his instructor taught him four manoeuvres; how to parallel park, the turn in the road (3 to 23 point turn), left-hand reverse, right-hand reverse (into a parking bay). He was told by his instructor that he would only be tested on two of the four, one of which would be the parallel park, (because examiners have been instructed to include that) and the second would most likely be one or other of the reverse manoeuvres. Someone required to take an enhanced test, as happens when they have been naughty, will apparently be tested on all four.
8:30 Morris Ital Estate, friend of mine had a dark blue one
Yep the phone takes priority over anything in life.... It's absolutely ridiculous.... That people cannot put their phones down or away for any reason. Not even for their own safety much less anyone else. If only people understood how pathetic it is....
I passed my test 2nd time in 1979 in a Mk2 Escort. Never had an accident (touch wood) & one speeding ticket for doing 35 in a 30. I think my lessons and test were the reason why I've had a practically clear full licence all these years. Different class of teaching in those days!
I'm a driving instructor and totally agree with the test going against the highway code... No hope ... But just to inform. Parallel park is always on the left for test. The one on opposite side would be on a road with clearer sight and then reverse back 2 car lengths. Then move off.
I'm 61 nearly 62 and passed my test in 1981. Sadly had to hand my licence in in 2005 due to ill health, but I see some really bad driving locally with the youngsters.
I'm an old git of 64. Passed my test in 1977, first time, three months to the day after my 17th birthday. had to reverse round a corner and do a turn in the road. Touch wood, I still have a clean licence too.
The old car at 8:27 is a Morris Ital estate.
I'd never noticed before how much the front of the Ital looked like a MkIV Cortina!
BL were their own worst enemy designing new models sometimes - the Ital was like a face lifted Marina, with lever arm front suspension when the rest of the world had been using Macpherson struts for a decade.
I remember the advert where it was favourably compared to a Mercedes, being driven around what looked to me like some docklands, but I found the steering skittish on bumpy or rough roads.
@@Chewiebakke I used a Vauxhall dealership in the 1970s for servicing and they always lent me a car for the day. The owner, Graham was very temperamental. On a good day the loan car would be a Magnum, VX4/90 or in later days a Carlton or Cavalier. On bad days one got the Ital, a long-suffering and neglected shed of a car which had the most awful steering I have ever encountered. :)
im an old git 74 passed my test 1967 .i watch all your dash cam videos keep up the good work tony
I passed my test in 1978 at 17, I’m now 63. Love the videos, it’s like listening to myself! As for road safety, we had Tufty the squirrel before the green cross man.
Brilliant as always! The parallel park will only be done on the left side of the road. There is a manoeuvre where you are asked to stop on the right, reverse back 2 car lengths and then drive on. Keep up the good work Tony!
Sorry if this comes out a bit garbled but I'm drooling porage everywhere 'cause I can't find my teeth. I never learned to drive; I did not have the patience for it and I thought there were too many idiots on the road already. As a serial pedestrian I can still appreciate what you're saying because you are someone who who knows what he's talking about and actually gives a toss about standards. Who remembers when Darth Vader used to be the Green Cross Man? Gotta go, Matron's here.
Tony we like that you tell it as it is, much as we do when we are behind the wheel. Keep up the good work
Kids are taught to cross the road - at primary school. By the time they are teenagers, they are arrogant and big-headed, they think they know it all, and they ignore all the rules they were taught. I heard a long time ago that the peak age for pedestrian casualties was 12 - I bet that hasn't changed.
Carry on being a cranky git Tony...the commentary is funnier than normal.
Kind regards,
Another cranky git...
I'm another old codger Tony. In fact my first car was insured against Viking Raids. Todays driving is atrocious but I have an advantage over many other motorists. I drove in the Middle East for a while which has equipped me to cope with the idiots on our roads.
6:13 a situation occurred to me when driving down a one way street with 2 lanes like here ,and your turning right at the junction and you let pedestrians go because they have right of way, but someone drives up the side of you and hits them because they run out because you let them cross. BANG!. They're dead. The driver gets points and a fine and the pedestrians are dead.
I taught my children and my students that while they had priority when crossing the street at a crosswalk, they needed to make sure that the cars saw them and yielded to them. Otherwise they could be dead right.
Im in the middle section of viewership , we had to 'practice' ;
Turn in the road
Reverse round the corner
Parallel park
Reverse into bay ,
We could have 2/3/4 to do on the test depending on the examiner (my instructor had me do turn in the road on the smallest road he could find and i had to do it in 3 or 4 )
I’m 44, but my first driving instructor was an old boy & he taught me well.
Parallel parking facing the wrong way is an offence at any time here in NZ, for the reason you described. It is the easiest offence to spot as you drive around, and all to often drivers who do this have other offences like an expired registration or expired WoF (mot) and a couple of infringements can be issued to the one vehicle.
I only passed my test in 2016 and I even had to reverse round a corner. Kids have gotten more stupid with road safety, and the general standard of driving has got a lot worse just in 8 years. I get a bit jealous when my mum tells me what it was like to drive in the 80s.
always look forward to a new video. :)
no, we have a longer attention span than the millennials
5:38 to be fair, whilst it's prudent to look, the pedestrian has priority to cross there and the turning vehicle must wait. Same goes for cyclists crossing.
I'm 62 years old so in the top end of the demographic you showed at the beginning of the video. I passed my test (first time) in the early Eighty's. My driving instructor was an Ex- Senior Metropolitan Traffic officer who retired to Lancashire. After a few lessons with him he was confident enough in my skills to teach me a few driving techniques most people would not be taught, e.g.; Defensive driving / threat observation etc, much the same as todays Police driving test. Calling out observation to show I had situational awareness but never of course breaking any rules of the Highway code. His advice to me was to concentrate on what is in front of you and what might appear from the sides, to a lesser degree use your mirrors to keep an eye on what's behind you but what's behind you is not your problem! Over 40 years experience and still with a clean licence I think he taught me well. 👌👍.
At 4:00 bring back the Tufty club and cycling proficiency...............
08:26 that blue car on the left..... it's a Honda Jazz 👀
I guess I am (somewhat surprisingly to me) on the younger side of your viewers at "just" 36! Driving standards definitely seem to have deteriorated even in the 18 years since I passed. Still enjoy watching these videos (plus other driving channels) to see what's going on and to see if there's anything I could still pick up on or try to reduce bad habits. After all, is there really any point in watching videos like this if we learn nothing from them?!
7:36 thought you were going to say ‘priority to traffic approaching from the right’ (car indication right and on inside of roundabout).
Tbf I would’ve gone also since they were going like 4mph and I also have an EV so can just go without holding them up
Not stupid drivers, unqualified drivers!!!! Foreign drivers.... The white elephant in the room.
You make me laugh and you cheer me up!
When we changed from black and white licence plates to yellow (rear) and
White (front) we are supposed to park on the correct carriageway. The reason was, at night you need to pass a yellow plate on the right and a white plate on the left. So, on a foggy night you’ll know which side to pass on. That didn’t last long though did it. 😂
I always look out for your new videos . At 69 I find common sense is sadly lacking these days! Thank you for your common sense comments.
I'm 53 and on 20th September would have been driving for 35 years. When I passed there was the test and a few questions after. Nowadays there is the theory test, hazard perception and the driving test, but our generation know far more about driving theory and hazard perception than young drivers.
Also it used to be called the three point turn, but I think too many learners thought they had to do it in 3 rather than 5 or 7 or more so they changed the name to turning the car using the forward and reverse gears and without touching the kerb.
As usual another great video, and your commentary is fantastic!!
We had to pass a written test on our knowledge of the road code, and only went onto the practical test if we passed the written. It seems that we probably ARE better drivers because of how we were taught!
I'm an inveterate kerb toucher. No one has yet managed to convince me to change my ways!
I grew up on a farm, driving instructor had a forehead slap moment when he asked me to turn the car in the road. I reversed first and did it in 2 moves, he never specified the direction of travel for the first movement lol It was a quiet road with no traffic so I didnt see the problem.
I passed my test first time in 1980 definitely easier then I was so nervous I forgot to turn on my windscreen wipers on when it was raining and I went up the kerb when reversing round the corner. I was asked lots of questions at the end and passed. Passed the motorbike test as well so after Riding a motorcycle you learn so much. 43 years later I now drive for a living
Proud to be an old codger of 78 years young with 61 years of driving and motor-cycling experience behind me and hopefully a few more years left to go. Baa Humbug to the critics of older drivers. I have to admit Tony, watching some of the antics of todays learners and their Instructors, I do wonder if any Road Traffic Law as you and I knew it is still applicable in this "Modern Age" of motoring, as for their knowledge of the Highway Code contents the less said about that the better. 8:35 A 1983 Morris Ital Estate, looks like its been well looked after too, I don`t think that the Ital was a successful seller for BL along with a good many of that Manufacturers offerings.
I'm 57 and been driving 40 years, passed first time and one accident that wasn't even my fault in fact I wasn't even in the car😂 I can't believe the standard of driving these days... Atrocious😮
My sisters been driving for 8 years, she’s written off 2 cars, crashed numerous other times, drink driving charges, speeding charges, it’s crazy
I remember endless reversing round corners when learning to drive, the notorious corner used by many instructors in the area also went uphill. All stood me in good stead and I can reverse into parking spaces pretty well and know how to parallel park correctly on the right side of the road without having to make a million attempts to straighten up. Passed my test in the 80’s on a Friday 13th and yes I am in one of the last two columns!
The Tufty Club anyone? Even Darth Vader in a white and green suit?
RIP Darth Vader^W^WThe Green Cross Code Man.
Now if tGCCM had used a light sabre when the pedestrians were being stupid and blindly walking out into the road...
I remember him being brought out of retirement to teach adults about safe road crossing. Those adults the parents of the most recent teenagers/adults with no idea about road safety...
If you're an old codger Tony, I dont know what that makes me! I passed my test in 1966 aged 17. Seeing the way some people drive nowadays makes me wonder if they've even bothered taking a test!
Keep up the good work, and I always watch the videos all the way through.
Another great video Tony. Can I make a request? Could you please make your videos a lot longer, because it seems to be no time, then it's over!
A bit of info from Australia, it is an offence to park on the wrong side of the road as you must have failed to keep left of the road. On the matter of pedestrian priority, here on roundabouts cars have priority over pedestrians so that cars are not required to stop mainly exiting roundabouts to allow pedestrians to cross thus keeping the roundabout clear. Driving standards here are deteriorating too, it appears mostly Ute (pickup/truck) drivers.
I'm learning to drive, I have my test soon! Oh and I'm 50! Lol 😂
Good luck 🤞
I suspect the higher age is people that created accounts and just spun the wheel when selecting your date of birth lol
There’s a reason all us oldies are still here,,,, we were taught properly
I passed my test in 2003, manoeuvres was reverse around a corner, 3 point turn, parallel park and reverse bay park…. I got the reverse around the corner…. I can not believe some of the manoeuvres now forward bay park and park on opposite side of road and reverse so many car lengths….
I’ll be 78 in September. Started driving at 16.
Ahh I'm a REAl ol codge then passed my test Sept 1966 at 18 . To date, I've never had a speeding ticket, as simply I don't and received a parking ticket in 1967.
So in your final dashcam footage, I ask the question was there any need for you to pull out and overtake the car that was turning left???🤪
9:18 I often say ‘slow down or speed up, not both’ 😂
I’m 45 n I’ve been driving almost 1yr yeah I know I was a late starter.
I’m 63 n I’ve been driving for 10 years so even later starter than you 😮
@@kimgray6994 do you regret starting late? Cos I do, I should have done it yrs ago.
I'm 45 years old, so driving for 29 years. I'm in the US, and I took my driving test in a right hand drive jeep. Back then all the postal vehicles that delivered were right hand drive. My Dad bought one and I used it for my driving test. I didn't have a 3 point turn in my test, and I didn't even have to parallel park.. I was supposed to, and I was ready for it, but the instructor giving me the test was so enamored with the vehicle I was driving that he forgot. A 100% on the test simply because of the car I was driving... how about that?
7:30 I thought we gave way to the right?
Well I'm at 56 years driving!! My Son is a Driving Instructor and I "passed" the new test with him, so I must still be OK on the road! Today, I sometimes wonder if they teach them anything?
I passed my test in april 1975, and did the same things to pass test.
I’ve driven since the mid sixties, from 1970 until 2010 drove an emergency ambulance, had some great driving tuition to do this. I’m now 76 and fit and well. But peoples mind set when I try and hire a car at 76 on holiday is an old git with a Zimmer frame lol 😂 just got charged €50 extra for two weeks car hire because of my age! All your comments of modern drivers are right, the whole thing needs a fresh look with some good old fashion common sense. Keep up the good work. 😊
Late to the Party again but it is always better to arrive late than not at all 😮.
Should I call Tony a Horse? Well..... miserable $○d is just like me on occasion which....
Wait for it.......
Might explain the long face.
Ooooff.....
Where's my Coat? Time for a sharp exit 🍻 lol
On my driving test in nov 79, (last century) I had been practicing for a reverse round the corner going up a hill, only wing mirrors then, and all you could see was tree tops and the sky, but my ingenious teacher had match sticks wedged into the rear window (Escort mk1) and irrespective of the road you could use them to reverse anywhere, as it turns out I had the easy one where you could see, the 3 point turn was also done on a really wide road but with traffic parked blocking sight of anyone coming,
Obviously I passed but then got to work and was left to empty a car transporter, both decks I had to use imaginary matchsticks for that but didn't prang any 😊
Australia 🇦🇺 the same. .. I Don't thing there's no driving test or its drive around the block
No road safety and a few driving on foreign license ... ITS A NIGHTMARE 😮😮
I thought Morris Marina but I think it was the facelifted Ital, sporty.....
Greetings from yet another old codger!
Top notch ranting!!! The car in question was, I believe a Morris Marina/Ital,another reason why BL/Rover went tits up...
I passed my test in 1973 when most cars would struggle to do 70 mph with the usual provisions,e.g. downhill,strong following etc.
They had no gizmos like ABS etc.
There was also a lot less of them on the road and nowhere near as many Audi's BMWs ....
Keep on ranting,it's mostly true and very observant.
And you're not as old an old codger as me!!!
Just worked it out, Marra, 47 years for me. However, I am the embodiment of Victor Meldrew nowadays 😅😅😅 I even remember Dave Prowse coming to our school dressed as the green cross code man. We used to have public information films in the sixties and seventies regarding road usage, I wasn't allowed out on my bicycle until i passed my cycling proficiency test, (which was taught at school) and that was in the sixties.
Been driving 44 years.
Seen something stupid every day.
If someone is stupid & selfish when they get out of bed.
They will be stupid and selfish.
Walking,riding or driving.
Re crossing the road.
Our teachers took us out of the primary school and gave us advice crossing the local roads.
A lot of people seem to be totaly unaware of their surroundings and consequences of their actions.
Whatever they are doing.
Of course I am perfect and never make a mistake.
But if I do.
I hope I'm lucky and have someone with the skill to read the situation & forsight to predict the actions of an old fart.
I temporarily stopped allowing porridge to spill onto my lap to let you know, I'm a frequent visitor to your channel. I often find myself laughing out loud at your sardonic comments, well-placed as they are. Subliminal messaging ... "Always an Audi" now features daily in my motoring activities. I'm still driving professionally (Ambulance Service) at the age of 60. Driving standards are at best abysmal. How to respond appropriately to blue lights and sirens should be mandatory and part of the Learner Driver experience. Even "seasoned" drivers still make major errors when confronted in this situation. It's terrifying at times. Lane discipline? Non-existent all over the UK, impatience, lack of consideration, no forward planning and it seems to me that anyone under the age of 55 cannot see any further ahead than the end of their nose. Spacial awareness, and lack of knowledge regarding heavies (tail-swing and space needed to turn left or right, has no consideration from the average driver). I also hold Cat D and know only too well the pain of being responsible for over 70 passengers in a bus when traversing the narrow lanes and roads in Cornwall dealing with numpties in Smart Cars or similar size. Please keep the content coming, I always look forward to your commentary and it makes me happy to know I'm not the only one that thinks that Joe Public are at best, dreadful and many shouldn't be allowed to push a whee-barrow on an allotment let alone be in "charge" of a potential killing machine on the road. I've seen too many RTC's due to reckless driving and driving without due care and attention. Stay safe everyone. That way, we can continue to enjoy Tony's very entertaining content.
I did my test in 1966 (don't tell anybody) in S.Africa. We had to do a perfect parallel park and a pull off on a hill with and without handbrake. No 3 way turns........
Always agree with your comments but I'm gonna agree to disagree on the final HGV sequence. Car drivers just fly up the sides of trucks with no thought and cause mayhem. This HGV did the best thing by straddling the lanes to prevent any further chaos and probably actually helped keep the traffic flowing.
Another old git, 75, and I passed my test (1st attempt) in 1965. I completely screwed up my first attempt at reversing around a corner, as soon as I realised that it wasn't working, I asked to do it again and the examiner said OK. Fortunately, I got it right that time.
I failed my motorbike test the same year because I couldn't start the bloody thing. It was an Ariel Leader. Wish I still had it, it's worth a lot more than the £75 I paid for it! Well, a bit more!
I passed my car test in Sept 1990 in a land rover 110, whilst i was in the army. I then passed my hgv(rigid) Feb 1991. The 1st job i had after i passed mt test was to take the Kindergarten bus and pick up the officers kids and drive them to school. Best way to learn to drive carefully in my opinion. Yes i was told how to cross the road by the GCC man and my parents.
5:45,"i hear a car coming but ihave the right of way so i just dont look" something like probably...Well, i always look to all sides several times. And inthe Dutch left-right-left wise.

Hiya ! I’m 23 and an advanced driver based in MK/outer London ❤ love these videos and they are so helpful to learn from !!

Thank you again ❤
