#7 doesn’t matter how quickly the mini stopped, the driver behind should be at a distance and speed to pull up as well, the mini had the right to stop especially as they might have been concerned about the person about to cross.
I was going to post the same. The Mini obeyed the Highway Code, the sleepy head in the car behind wasn't looking at the road situation. It doesn't matter if the compiler considered that the Mini should have moved, or "not stopped". The law is the law. They stopped for the pedestrian, as per, and there was sufficient space for the following vehicle to brake, IF the sleepy blonde had been both driving and THINKING. And I just saw that the rear-ender was driving a TOYOTA, that doesn't say much about her intelligence. Never trust the driver of a Japanese or Korean vehicle.
Both vehicles went over the stop line, before the box junction and cycle box as the light went amber. The mini should not have stopped, the van driver should have stopped to avoid collision.
I agree with @ronniebrown, also the over use of the damn horn, its a bit late to use it after the event, especially when half the time you have caused it. I miss being on the roads, I gave up my car when I figured I could hurt someone if i continued, now I have a disability scooter, so not as dangerous, well, not to road users anyway, 😊 and have always encountered wonderful drivers who actually stop at zebra crossings, and yes I always thank them. And people stay well back from the lorries, the guys are great drivers , but there is always the one
I find it weird. I have a dashcam, but if I am involved in an accident, I sure as hell want the insurance company to know that I did not make any contribution to it whatsoever. I almost treat my dashcam as a higher being keeping an eye on my driving. Occasionally, I am sure I hear it tut.
The nurse driver clip and the car that hits the bollard clip are really old clips - I remember seeing them about 5 or more years ago, so how they can be in this Best of January 2023 is beyond me !
Whether the nurse driver is an old clip or not - that nurse needs to work in a trauma unit dedicated to Road Traffic Accidents for at least a month! THEN let her have her car back! I guarantee she will never drive like that clip again AND I guarantee if I was her Matron I'd have dismissed her the first time the clip was shown!
@@scottleadbetter7167 What do you mean it's a pedestrian crossing repeater? You just simply don't stop there, that's a boxed junction, you can't stop there at all.
@@scottleadbetter7167 So if a child ran out, you should just carry on? No, it is safe to stop. If someone crashes into you it is because of their inattention. You need to drive in such a way that allows a car in front to do an emergency stop if it should need to do so.
@@thesupernova8 The blog you took that from indicates that this is a problem with the way that people drive. It also does not apply in the circumstance shown in this video. A pedestrian repeater in this context is the pedestrian crossing immediately after the first set of lights, and not the repeater set on the far side.
@@thesupernova8 No. Just no. That is entirely wrong. Unless the crossing is separately controlled or a zebra crossing then it is entirely incorrect. And I have never seen the options that I mentioned.
@@DavidVanPatten358 Oh, I completely agree. It is just that your lanes and roads and carriageways require a high level of skill, which I do not possess. I do very much like the idea that learners´ vehicles are clearly marked, so as to give surrounding motorists an opportunity to give way when necessary to a new driver. 😀
@@DavidVanPatten358 I find that hard to agree with although I’ve only been on the road 1.5 years. It’s rolling dice every time you pull off the drive, for what is going to try and put a dent in your car.
@2:56 #7 the mini had no reason to stop where it did. The red light was a repeater for the lights before the yellow box. With no light king to stop at. Bad driving by both. The cam car wasn’t expecting the mini to stop in the middle of the road for no reason
54:45 To be fair to the Police officers it's clear that despite the hundreds of thousands of Pounds we pay in VEL (Road Tax) the local Authority could not be bothered to repaint the worn out white markings
#122 59:39 Good driving from the cammer. He saw the situation and kept out of it - unlike many who assume they won't become involved and carry on regardless.
2:47 There can be no doubt that the Mini should not have stopped there, because there is no stop line there. The stop line for that red light was crossed prior to the yellow box.
Still, majority of the blame goes to the cammer. The mini might have stopped for the wrong reason, but it's always up to the person behind to also stop *whatever* the reason the car in front stopped.
@@Larwood.: Agreed, you have to be travelling at a speed that allows you to stop within the distance you can see to be clear, and at a separation that allows you to stop if the person in front of you stops (even if it's for no apparent reason). That said, it's always "amusing" when people don't understand repeating lights and stop where they're not supposed to, and on a separate note, there are some locations where there is a box junction and a set of traffic lights where there's a stop line (and so you must stop at them) where it's virtually impossible to stop outside of the box for except for possibly the smallest of bikes (if even them) In one case, there's even a level crossing which has a junction before it, and a box junction was added in retrospectively for the junction with very little space between the crossing stop line and the box junction, leaving enough space for a single car, guess lorries and buses don't matter much then hey
@@fetchstixRHD You're supposed to look more than 6 feet in front of your car when driving. Meaning you'd see there's not enough room and stop early. Case in point. The mini driver is just as bad, they pull over on double yellows when they could have pulled into that petrol station about 100m up the road.
@@fetchstixRHD just to humour this scenario you would have to stop before the box then and at no point are you to stop in the box if you cannot clear it. It makes your example moot to explain the repeating light situation.
1:55 the car pulling out had space for the car that was being overtaken, but the speeder caused that hazzard completely. The emerging car had started their manuver at the time when the speeder started theirs...
Exactly, the road racer 30mph breaker overtook on hatched markings and was coming from behind a centre island lamppost, which he swerved to avoid; the car pulling out couldnt have anticipated the overtake..... and the Highway Code warns abt overtaking nr T junctions
#8 3:49 for once Stobart not at fault as they were stationary during the impact, in the wise words of Ashley Neal 'You can't hit anything if you're stationary'
If your user name is anything to go by you know that's the Blue House roundabout on the Great North Road, and there's so many bumps happen there, not normally that bad, but it's not a great place for new drivers.
#7, that red light doesn't pertain to that pelican crossing, there is no solid line there to stop at. The stopping point is before the yellow box junction, it's a big open controlled T junction. Mini shouldn't have stopped, cam car shouldn't have rear ended. I've had exactly that situation at exactly that light.
Yeh but the pedestrian looked like they were ready to step out into the road… the Mini was quite right to stop.. the driver behind was driving to fast and too close to take evasive action
@@MaisieDaisyUpsadaisy If you really want to get pedantic it would be numbered and not named. It’s common name across the UK is the “fast lane” the “overtaking lane” is an Americanism, one of many I refuse to accept or use
@@hausmaster9801 What evidence do you have for that? When I refer to the right-hand lane as the overtaking lane I'm referring to Roadcraft and the Highway Code. Regardless of your speed, you should be in the left-hand lane. You only move to the right lane(s) to overtake the vehicles.
@@MaisieDaisyUpsadaisy highways England the ones that maintain and operate the motorways and roadways as well as the public sectors such as police, paramedics, fire, traffic officers and recovery services (aka all the professionals that use the roadways) call the lanes by number, or near side or off side lanes on duel carriageways.
@@megazw7740 Yep. You should always allow room for an emergency stop. Rule 126 of the Highway Code: "Stopping distances. Drive at a speed that will allow you to stop well within the distance you can see to be clear. You should leave enough space between you and the vehicle in front so that you can pull up safely if it suddenly slows down or stops. The safe rule is never to get closer than the overall stopping distance allow at least a two-second gap between you and the vehicle in front on high-speed roads and in tunnels where visibility is reduced. The gap should be at least doubled on wet roads and up to ten times greater on icy roads remember, large vehicles and motorcycles need a greater distance to stop. If driving a large vehicle in a tunnel, you should allow a four-second gap between you and the vehicle in front" There are very rarely any excuses for going into the back of a car in front. This video does not show such an excuse.
In most cases you would be correct, however if someone entered your lane, effectively reducing your stopping distance then they are at fault although the onus would be on you to prove it, hence the need for a dash cam
@RT-ii8hb before I retired I was a transport manager and spent many hours talking to insurers regarding incidents. They all practically said the same thing, the driver who can see what's going on in front of him...is to blame. I queried scenarios like you suggested about somebody entering your lane and they said the onus is on you to slow down and recreate a safe gap. If somebody stops in front of you you have to manage a safe distance to completely stop as well I'm not suggesting no blame would be put on the other driver. Anyhow that's what I was told, and if that's wrong bollox to it, I've retired. I agree dashcams will play a bigger role in sorting claims out. I expect dashcams will be factory fitted in the future. Stay safe.
2:45 where the mini stopped was not a traffic light for them, it was the second light at that junction, so it should not have stopped as there is no stop line, just the line at the end of the yellow box junction
its a pedestrian crossing, a pedestrian is waiting to use who is not looking to be young and spry, I would have stopped here without a doubt and I would have been breaking earlier as well to manage a potential risk, though another point to make the mini is not hammering on and the guy behind is really not paying enough attention.
@@sirbollocks609 You need to take another look, there is no pedestrian crossing, yes there is a drop kerb, a pedestrian refuge and a button to set the traffic lights for the pedestrian cycle, but the absence of zebra crossing type painted road surface markings simply indicates a safer place to cross not a proper crossing. The mini driver was wrongly reacting to the downstream traffic light by mistake, and had already crossed the stop line before the amber light came on, (which can just be seen in front of the cammer right at the start of the clip and more clearly on the repeat @2:53) that mini should not be stopping inside the yellow box and therefore is totally at fault. Nice user name though 😂😂
@@unclegreybeard3969 not my best English I admin, "its a pedestrian crossing" was meant to say that the reason for the breaking is the pedestrian crossing the road, lol
@@sirbollocks609 That wasn’t a red light for the Mini driver. To prove this, there isn’t a solid white line at those lights, in front of the Mini, like there are on the opposite side of the road just before the lights. Those lights were not for cars that have already drove past the first set of lights 2:52, that would have a solid white line where you must stop behind at a red light. The Mini shouldn’t have stopped as those traffic lights were not for him. However, even though it was the Mini driver’s fault, the camera car was going too fast and wasn’t paying attention. But still the Mini driver’s fault. When the pedestrian will be able to cross, every traffic light will be red, in all directions.
@@georgebarnes8163 not only that, no one seems to have pointed out she was over-taking on chevrons and then attempted in an oncoming right turn only lane before attempting again on chevrons, it's nice to see she received the long arm of the law wagging the finger in return
#9, I'm used to seeing drivers who have absolutely no idea how wide their cars are, but having one who does not know how long it is, is a little rarer. Most people who have little cars have them for a reason, other than economy, I live by that and I give them a wide berth and pass when whenever possible.
2:46 .. the Mini stopped in the junction thinking the second set of lights (beyond the box junction markings) were a different lights when in fact they are connected to the ones they'd already gone though. I wish I had a quid for the number of times people do that on larger junctions.
Yep. At 2:52 the Mini drove over the solid white line when the lights were not red. There is no solid white line in front of the Mini when it stopped. So it shouldn’t have stopped there.
1:44 - poor observation by the car pulling out of the side road, but the golf driver was driving far too fast for the conditions and the emerging vehicle wouldn't have been expecting him to be going at that speed or overtaking the cammer.
3:00 "the mini had heaps of time to go"... Just shows how much these people actually know about the roads xD The line for the junction was miles back, that was absolutely no reason whatsoever to stop there... it's not a matter of opinion.
#7 How many times do you see this? The driver enters the junction on a changing light at amber, then on the other side of the junction stops when the light goes to red: IT'S STILL THE SAME SET OF LIGHTS!! The Mini should not have stopped: they've crossed the stop line so they need to complete their transition through the junction. It's not even as if it was a big junction
@@MiningForPies Where did I dispute that? We are talking about the mini stopping when they shouldn't have. The only comment I made that was integral to the accident was the cammer having poor reaction times.
@@MrDBSV8 those are the traffic light at the rear of the junction you don't stop for them. The same lights were be at the begging of the junction and both cars went through the first lights in time. The problem the mini got confused and thought he had to stop at second lights and the driver behind was not paying attention. Rear driver still at fault.
Incidents like #86 where the car pulls out in the cammer, shows that steering around someone is usually a lot safer than slamming on the brakes. Too many drivers simply slam on the brakes when a problem is unfolding often causing more collisions behind them.
One video I saw had a car crossing the hard shoulder after a crash. A driver confronted by the car spun his car round and gunned his engine. This brought him to a halt quicker than just using his brakes.
Dude at 18:16 saying the car overtaking would be fucked. Sorry no. Your the one pulling out on to the main road while unsafe. That black car is allowed to overtake. You should always check before pulling out. You would be paying sorry.
167 Do not overtake where you might come into conflict with other road users. For example: approaching or at a road junction on either side of the road where the road narrows when approaching a school crossing patrol between a kerb and a bus or tram when it is at a stop where traffic is queuing at junctions or road works when you would force another road user to swerve or slow down at a level crossing when a road user is indicating right, even if you believe the signal should have been cancelled - do not take a risk; wait for the signal to be cancelled stay behind if you are following a cyclist approaching a roundabout or junction, and you intend to turn left when a tram is standing at a kerbside tram stop and there is no clearly marked passing lane for other traffic It’s simple DO NOT overtake at junctions
The clip at 2:45 - Mini stopped for no reason, probably confused that the lights went red, and was wrong to do so, however the cammer had plenty of time to react.
@@chrisfifield-smith Indeed, cammer had plenty of time to react but chose not to, would be curious to know who the insurance companies are blaming and at what split, if any.
Mini stopped exactly how it should. It was yellow when entered hashed area and mini did not crossed on RED. The camer should have stopped before hashed area. Camer's fault.
@@batvetone LOL, what? The mini was in the junction and should have cleared it. The red light it stopped at was for cars not yet in the junction. There is no stop line where the mini stopped.
@@batvetone As much as I agree majority blame, if not all, is with the cammer, you are wrong on how the mini handled it. They were in a junction and should have cleared it, its a double set of lights that signal the cars before the box, not in the box..... Really the faults here are the mini driver getting confused by the lights and stopping when they shouldn't have (otherwise are you telling me they should stop in a box junction?) and the cammer for gunning through an amber and having the reactions of a sloth.
@@nick_7869 That wasn’t a red light for the Mini driver. Those lights are for the cars that hadn’t crossed the solid white line, at the first set of traffic lights 2:52,a few car lengths behind the Mini. Sometimes when you pull up to traffic lights, just behind the solid white line on the road, you can’t see the traffic lights. Because they are above you/above your wing mirrors. So you can’t see the colour change unless you lean forwards a lot and look up, or look out of the side window. Or if you’re driving a buss or lorry, you can’t always see the first set of lights at the solid white line. So they placed secondary/repeater lights a little bit in front, so you’ll be able to see the lights. The Mini driver had past the first lights where you pull up to the white line on the road, meaning; you can’t go beyond it if the lights are red. To prove this, there isn’t a solid white line at those lights, in front of the Mini (2:48), like there are on the opposite side of the road just before the lights. Those lights were not for cars that have already drove past the first set of lights, that would have a solid white line where you must stop behind at a red light. The Mini shouldn’t have stopped as those traffic lights were not for him. However, even though it was the Mini driver’s fault, the camera car was going too fast and wasn’t paying attention. But still the Mini driver’s fault.
6:35 ish the van driver was NOT an idiot, he was merely stopping people from pushing in the queue, where did the cammer want to drive? over the white lines just to get one car length ahead?
yes absolutely!! The stupid people in the car recording the video think its their right to jump the queue and cut back in at the top. This is typical behaviour for a certain proportion of drivers I find.
@@chinapig71 Yes I'm not saying the van should have done that, but people get pissed off when some drivers believe they are special and can cut in at the top of the queue. I see examples of it near me, theres a main road with queueing traffic, and a service road running parralell, drivers shoot up the service road and cut back in at the top of the queueing main road, yes not illegal but selfish.
2:45 The Mini was already in the Junction. Those light did not have a stop line and the mini was clearly at fault for stopping when they should not have. Thoses are far lights and not stop lights.
18:00 actually, you nearly hit him. Ridiculous place for him to overtake but as an officer I can tell you, the rules state you must look both ways and giveway to traffic already on the road you are joining.
Then the UK needs to review it's traffic laws because that is absolutely ridiculous!! This car was making an illegal overtake and obviously travelling at excessive speed but apparently From A "road traffic cop" or a "highway patrol officer" whatever you call yourselves the vehicle legally turning left onto his open is the one to blame because some fall as in a hurry doing an illegal overtake... I know the UK is pretty backward from what I've seen lately on the news with her two-tier policing state but who in the right mind looks left to make sure the traffic is clear when it's obvious the traffic you need to give way to is coming from your right
@@MFFMPN It is a requirement in the UK to look both ways before entering the main road. Failure to do so which leads to an accident, will be blamed upon you as you failed to give way to traffic already on the major road. Simple really. The overtaking car would also be dealt with for careless driving, but you will undoubtedly be picking up the bill for the accident. It seems idiotic that somebody would join a road and not look both ways. That's just plain dangerous.
@@Edvard.Munchkinthe overtaking driver was traveling significantly in excess of the speed limit. The slowing of the cam car would likely be deemed adequate, and the overtaking car would not just be liable for ‘careless driving’, but also for attempting an overtake in a hazardous location. It’s guaranteed points and likely loss of license to overtake when approaching a junction like this scenario
#4 I disagree. The Golf overtook by going on hashing and was a distance away from the junction when the car arrived. The driver probably made the right decision for a car travelling at the speed limit. The only problem was he was slow to pull away and the golf was speeding. Both at fault, but it dies matter how fast the Golf was travelling.
But the Golf was doing well above the speed limit, if a driver has no ability to judge the speed of approaching traffic they shouldn't be driving (neither should the Golf driver tbf).
@@ferrumignisIMO, the emerging driver has judged (and rightly so) that he has right of way based on the amount of clear road he can see on his right. He then has to look left before he can start the manoeuvre. He doesn't have to judge the Golf's speed, but possibly he has assessed the speed of the camcar and not seen the Golf ( it wasn't in the correct road position) and anyway speeding doesn't give you right of way! Assuming the cam car was close to the speed limit, you can see his right turn was safe based on how close the cam car was to the incident. I believe the Golf is doing 20mph over the camcar so that is 50 in a 30. Way too fast! The Golf has also overtaken in the short distance between two bollards that is hashed. The authorities really don't want people to overtake there! So it's not just speeding, it's excessive speeding and reckless driving. Finally the emerging driver has seen the Golf and stopped, so he made the continuous observation. I do apportion some blame to the emerging driver, but that portion of the blame depends on how much faster than the speed limit the Golf was doing, which I can't honestly judge.
Fabulous selection of foul ups. Britain's roads are fast becoming very dangerous and the police seem not interested. Take care out there Folks and get wherever you are gong safely.
2:46 - the mini driver should not have stopped at all. Those lights are the repeater lights at the far side of the junction and do not have a stop line. They are only there to allow drivers stopped close to the stop line, at the entrance to the junction, to see when the lights change, when they are too close to the lights on their side to see them. We have a similar junction at the exit from a shopping centre and drivers regularly turn left on a green light and then stop at the red light, which is not meant for them and is always red when their light is green.
The person that got the accident on dashcam #112. Please send this footage to the police to investigate this crash for cash accident as it was definitely staged. It is important to flush these scumbags out into the public. They both was working together to de,fraudulently get a claim. Kind regards David
At 3:00 he had already passed the light for the jumction so the mini definitely should not have stopped but cammer should be more aware and need to allow proper stopping distances. Both at fault there
Mini stopped at the line. It's choice how hard to brake. Cammer was too close, too fast, and not ready to keep yellow box clear. Seems had already taken the decision to "go", then got caught out.
@@kencoggin4566 there was no line in front of the Mini. Because that isn’t a stopping area. The stopping area was a couple of cars back behind the Mini, at the first traffic lights with the solid white line 2:52.That line means you can’t cross it when the lights are red. But the lights were green when the Mini crossed that line. The lights that the Mini stopped in front of, are for people that are behind the Mini at the first set of lights. When you drive up to that line, you sometimes can’t see the traffic lights that would be above you. So there are secondary lights so you can see when the lights change to green.

Your written explanation for the rear shunt on the mini is completely WRONG. The mini had no reason to stop as he did, the red light is for the junction he has already passed thro. Where he stopped there is no stop line, he was not required to stop. However the car rear ending him is at fault as far as Highway code and insurance decisions.
12:45 similar happened last year to my friend also in Croydon. Guy on the bike suddenly crossed him when he was driving he hit him and damaged his bike. The mob was straightaway around to threating him and blame him. Friend unfortunately didnt have camera so agreed to pay him 500£ for all damages. Be aware of these scammers if you in area
50/50 because the cammer wasn't paying attention and wouldn't have been able to stop in time for the red light. The mini had passed the stop line but the cammer still hit them about three seconds after the light had changed while they were fully across the line meaning if the mini hadn't stopped the cammer would have run the red light at a pedestrian crossing due to not paying attention.
Doesn't matter whether the mini driver slammed his brakes on near a set of lights he thought was turning red or in the middle of a straight road the simple fact the cam car was too close to stop in time resulting in the accident. Cammers insurance will pay out as they are at fault
@@apgiceman7116 what if a child had suddenly run out, should the mini driver run child over so the car behind didn't run into him, some of the comments on here make me wonder how traffic keeps moving at all
@Daedalus's Flight my point is the following driver should always be far enough back and ready for anything. although he had no reason to stop the fact is he did, if the following car had watched his braking distance it would not have happened
2:46, the mini stopped at the Amber because it was safe to do so, the cammer was clearly speeding and not keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
50:44 #105 I live there in Ashby-de-la-zouch and that roundabout is renown for having car crashes! Pretty much always in that exact spot too believe it or not
do you know anything about box junctions ? 2.59 blue mini at RED light,car behind was to close simple and should NOT enter box junction if he can not exit.
16:09, why is ther a one way road sign, and then the incoming car has signs facing them too, suggesting it isn't a one way road? Or perhaps the cammer is going the wrong way, and hthe one-way sign has been spun around?
It's a priority sign showing cammer has priority & people coming the other way have to give way to oncoming traffic. There is a large white arrow showing who has priority & a small red arrow showing who should concede. The sign shows the opposite for the other drivers on the other side of that pinch point.
experience taught me as a passenger, if the driver overcorrects into a tankslapper, shout " let Go" the castor effect will straighten the wheels then you can pull it straight, only had it happen once but it deffo worked
45:53 Silver Range Rover might be doing a second lap of roundabout. It seems there is a road closure and lots of yellow signs. Cammer does not factor in the possibility that Range Rover might not exit but continue round. Vehicles travelling this slow circulating roundabouts need special caution from other drivers even where no temporary signs are shown. Cammer works herself up unnecessarily over this.
9:19 - It is so glaringly obvious that the van is going to cut in front of the car with the camera in. That is evident from the moment the clip starts. There was plenty of distance to brake, so why was it such a close call? The second you see that situation developing, regardless of who is right or wrong, you take steps to reduce the risk - in this case, brake while there is time. To pull out and overtake the way they did afterwards as well was really agressive and totally unnecessary.
30.10 When you see a guy with his elbow hanging out the window you just know he is thinking more about himself than anyone else. Probably the best motor he,s ever driven and feeling good about it. Most likely the bosses motor too.
I hope the person annotating this video doesn't have a license with some of there hot takes.. How was it the minis fault? Breaks were applied after the light went read and the car behind followed them into a clear box when the lights were amber.
Stopped where they were not supposed, or allowed, to - where there was no stop line, the light being a duplicate for the previous stop line, and within a box junction. It isn't an "o"pinion that the Mini should have gone (though of course, colliding with someone who's been consistently in front of you is almost certainly on you for not paying attention and keeping distance)
2:45 Mini should not have stopped because there was no solid white line, meaning that the red light does not apply to them! However, the cammer is still at fault because it is a rear-end collision and they did not leave adequate braking room and were not paying enough attention. I think on reviewing the footage most insurance companies would choose to settle as joint-fault due to Mini's dangerous driving.
The lack of spacial and situational awareness plus deluded embodiment by many dashcam users is ironically why we have so many avoidable accidents on our roads. Its not hard to slow down and let others drivers get on with their day.
#7 looks like they've mistaken the repeater light. The clip starts part way through the junction so it's difficult to tell it's the repeater light but I can't see a solid white stop line in front of it which means that light doesn't apply to those vehicle now and they should've continued through. This is why the cammer wouldn't have easily anticipated the mini stopping because it wasn't supposed to.
From what I’ve seen from these videos and over 5 years of driving so far, the cars that are being driven by bad drivers are (but not limited too) Any BMW, Mercedes or Audi Peugeots (specifically 2000’s Peugeots) Taxis And Van Drivers
That HGV in clip #46 at 24:55 has probably burst an air line. The HGV brakes are air-operated, and air pressure OPENS the brake. That's a safety feature, so that a parked vehicle with a leaky air system won't release its parking brake by itself over time. So if you happen to lose air pressure on a brake, it will engage at full tilt. So I know what the HGV driver was doing: nothing. His brake lights didn't go on, so he wasn't braking, and his front wheels kept spinning normally. It was obviously a mechanical failure, and he couldn't have done anything to prevent it. Thankfully, everyone seem to have lived.
4:49 Jim Bowen had a phrase on Bullseye; stay in the black keep out of the red there's nothing in this game for two in a bed. I think the black and white areas here are a simile.
I don't think there was one video clip showing the 'cam driver's speed, why? Apart from the obvious incidents showing drivers lack of awareness, I'd like to know just how many 'cam drivers were over the speed limit when they recorded their incident.
#7 doesn’t matter how quickly the mini stopped, the driver behind should be at a distance and speed to pull up as well, the mini had the right to stop especially as they might have been concerned about the person about to cross.

The mini wasn't at fault at all. Amber light means stop.
@@winksongs yeah it's what I said, did you not read it correctly? However amber means stop if you can, red is actually stop.
#7 I think the mini was probably looking at the pedestrian thinking he was going to cross. Cammer too close and too fast anyway.
Cammer also should've been slowing down and preparing to stop since it was an amber light
Yes whoever edits these has a lot to learn about road rules. You never are legally able to go through a Red light.
It was a repeater light
Both vehicles went over the stop line, before the box junction and cycle box as the light went amber. The mini should not have stopped, the van driver should have stopped to avoid collision.
That light doesn't apply to them, mini was wrong to stop in the middle of the junction, but the cammer was too close and couldn't stop on time.
2:25 can we appreciate the music reaching its climax just as the cars crash 😂
The amount of people on these videos who are using dashcams as a threat to other drivers when it's the cam driver that's at fault in a lot of cases
I agree with @ronniebrown, also the over use of the damn horn, its a bit late to use it after the event, especially when half the time you have caused it. I miss being on the roads, I gave up my car when I figured I could hurt someone if i continued, now I have a disability scooter, so not as dangerous, well, not to road users anyway, 😊 and have always encountered wonderful drivers who actually stop at zebra crossings, and yes I always thank them. And people stay well back from the lorries, the guys are great drivers , but there is always the one
I find it weird. I have a dashcam, but if I am involved in an accident, I sure as hell want the insurance company to know that I did not make any contribution to it whatsoever. I almost treat my dashcam as a higher being keeping an eye on my driving. Occasionally, I am sure I hear it tut.
The nurse driver clip and the car that hits the bollard clip are really old clips - I remember seeing them about 5 or more years ago, so how they can be in this Best of January 2023 is beyond me !
Whether the nurse driver is an old clip or not - that nurse needs to work in a trauma unit dedicated to Road Traffic Accidents for at least a month! THEN let her have her car back! I guarantee she will never drive like that clip again AND I guarantee if I was her Matron I'd have dismissed her the first time the clip was shown!
Whats the time stamp?
These are fun to watch and all, but nothing beats seeing somewhere you've been/live on these.
In clip #7, I think the mini stopped suddenly as they were concerned the pedestrian on the left was going to step out.
That traffic light is a repeater, shouldn't have stop there at all.
@@scottleadbetter7167 What do you mean it's a pedestrian crossing repeater?
You just simply don't stop there, that's a boxed junction, you can't stop there at all.
@@scottleadbetter7167 So if a child ran out, you should just carry on? No, it is safe to stop. If someone crashes into you it is because of their inattention. You need to drive in such a way that allows a car in front to do an emergency stop if it should need to do so.
@@thesupernova8 The blog you took that from indicates that this is a problem with the way that people drive. It also does not apply in the circumstance shown in this video. A pedestrian repeater in this context is the pedestrian crossing immediately after the first set of lights, and not the repeater set on the far side.
@@thesupernova8 No. Just no. That is entirely wrong. Unless the crossing is separately controlled or a zebra crossing then it is entirely incorrect. And I have never seen the options that I mentioned.

20:30 is utterly shocking. The back of the container swinging round could easily have killed the pedestrian, I reckon.
So many of these are so avoidable, in many cases even those that are not at fault can see the danger ahead and not take action to avoid collision

@2:56 #7 the mini had no reason to stop where it did. The red light was a repeater for the lights before the yellow box. With no light king to stop at. Bad driving by both. The cam car wasn’t expecting the mini to stop in the middle of the road for no reason
Yep. At 2:52 the Mini drove over the solid white line, (that cars must stay behind when the lights are red) before the lights were red.
@@CyborgGerbilThat was not a problem as there was no stop line at the lights the mini stopped at.
54:45 To be fair to the Police officers it's clear that despite the hundreds of thousands of Pounds we pay in VEL (Road Tax) the local Authority could not be bothered to repaint the worn out white markings
Poor road markings is a massive pet peeve, including places where there are no stop lines visible at all
for the mini clip. thats not even his light. the stop line is further back.
Yep at 2:52 where the Mini drives over the solid white line before the light was red.
Note cammer's close pass on the cyclist at 46:25 on #94.
Re Tuffnels green lorry, wheels locked up before the brake lights came on so maybe a mechanical fault?
22:56 Notice that the Range Rover has an illegal registration number. It should read KA51 MBB
No shit
#122 59:39 Good driving from the cammer. He saw the situation and kept out of it - unlike many who assume they won't become involved and carry on regardless.
2:47 There can be no doubt that the Mini should not have stopped there, because there is no stop line there.
The stop line for that red light was crossed prior to the yellow box.
Yes. The red light is a repeater and there is no stop line. So it should have continued.
Still, majority of the blame goes to the cammer. The mini might have stopped for the wrong reason, but it's always up to the person behind to also stop *whatever* the reason the car in front stopped.
@@Larwood.: Agreed, you have to be travelling at a speed that allows you to stop within the distance you can see to be clear, and at a separation that allows you to stop if the person in front of you stops (even if it's for no apparent reason). That said, it's always "amusing" when people don't understand repeating lights and stop where they're not supposed to, and on a separate note, there are some locations where there is a box junction and a set of traffic lights where there's a stop line (and so you must stop at them) where it's virtually impossible to stop outside of the box for except for possibly the smallest of bikes (if even them)
In one case, there's even a level crossing which has a junction before it, and a box junction was added in retrospectively for the junction with very little space between the crossing stop line and the box junction, leaving enough space for a single car, guess lorries and buses don't matter much then hey
@@fetchstixRHD You're supposed to look more than 6 feet in front of your car when driving. Meaning you'd see there's not enough room and stop early.
Case in point. The mini driver is just as bad, they pull over on double yellows when they could have pulled into that petrol station about 100m up the road.
@@fetchstixRHD just to humour this scenario you would have to stop before the box then and at no point are you to stop in the box if you cannot clear it. It makes your example moot to explain the repeating light situation.
1:55 the car pulling out had space for the car that was being overtaken, but the speeder caused that hazzard completely. The emerging car had started their manuver at the time when the speeder started theirs...
Exactly, the road racer 30mph breaker overtook on hatched markings and was coming from behind a centre island lamppost, which he swerved to avoid; the car pulling out couldnt have anticipated the overtake..... and the Highway Code warns abt overtaking nr T junctions
#8 3:49 for once Stobart not at fault as they were stationary during the impact, in the wise words of Ashley Neal 'You can't hit anything if you're stationary'
Yep
Number 6 : doesn`t matter which way you have to look, they literally drove straight into that peugeot
Yes, and if you're not used to the roads, then you should be stopping at junctions anyway
If your user name is anything to go by you know that's the Blue House roundabout on the Great North Road, and there's so many bumps happen there, not normally that bad, but it's not a great place for new drivers.
#7, that red light doesn't pertain to that pelican crossing, there is no solid line there to stop at. The stopping point is before the yellow box junction, it's a big open controlled T junction. Mini shouldn't have stopped, cam car shouldn't have rear ended. I've had exactly that situation at exactly that light.
Yeh but the pedestrian looked like they were ready to step out into the road… the Mini was quite right to stop.. the driver behind was driving to fast and too close to take evasive action

@@MaisieDaisyUpsadaisy If you really want to get pedantic it would be numbered and not named. It’s common name across the UK is the “fast lane” the “overtaking lane” is an Americanism, one of many I refuse to accept or use
@@hausmaster9801 What evidence do you have for that? When I refer to the right-hand lane as the overtaking lane I'm referring to Roadcraft and the Highway Code. Regardless of your speed, you should be in the left-hand lane. You only move to the right lane(s) to overtake the vehicles.
@@MaisieDaisyUpsadaisy highways England the ones that maintain and operate the motorways and roadways as well as the public sectors such as police, paramedics, fire, traffic officers and recovery services (aka all the professionals that use the roadways) call the lanes by number, or near side or off side lanes on duel carriageways.
You rear end somebody....your to blame. If they stop for no reason its irrelevant, you should leave enough space to able to stop.
Nope.
@@megazw7740 Yep. You should always allow room for an emergency stop.
Rule 126 of the Highway Code:
"Stopping distances. Drive at a speed that will allow you to stop well within the distance you can see to be clear.
You should
leave enough space between you and the vehicle in front so that you can pull up safely if it suddenly slows down or stops. The safe rule is never to get closer than the overall stopping distance
allow at least a two-second gap between you and the vehicle in front on high-speed roads and in tunnels where visibility is reduced. The gap should be at least doubled on wet roads and up to ten times greater on icy roads
remember, large vehicles and motorcycles need a greater distance to stop. If driving a large vehicle in a tunnel, you should allow a four-second gap between you and the vehicle in front"
There are very rarely any excuses for going into the back of a car in front. This video does not show such an excuse.
In most cases you would be correct, however if someone entered your lane, effectively reducing your stopping distance then they are at fault although the onus would be on you to prove it, hence the need for a dash cam
@RT-ii8hb before I retired I was a transport manager and spent many hours talking to insurers regarding incidents. They all practically said the same thing, the driver who can see what's going on in front of him...is to blame. I queried scenarios like you suggested about somebody entering your lane and they said the onus is on you to slow down and recreate a safe gap. If somebody stops in front of you you have to manage a safe distance to completely stop as well I'm not suggesting no blame would be put on the other driver. Anyhow that's what I was told, and if that's wrong bollox to it, I've retired. I agree dashcams will play a bigger role in sorting claims out. I expect dashcams will be factory fitted in the future. Stay safe.
This is such a midwit trope. There's plenty of situations where being struck from behind can be your fault
2:45 where the mini stopped was not a traffic light for them, it was the second light at that junction, so it should not have stopped as there is no stop line, just the line at the end of the yellow box junction
its a pedestrian crossing, a pedestrian is waiting to use who is not looking to be young and spry, I would have stopped here without a doubt and I would have been breaking earlier as well to manage a potential risk, though another point to make the mini is not hammering on and the guy behind is really not paying enough attention.
@@sirbollocks609
You need to take another look, there is no pedestrian crossing, yes there is a drop kerb, a pedestrian refuge and a button to set the traffic lights for the pedestrian cycle, but the absence of zebra crossing type painted road surface markings simply indicates a safer place to cross not a proper crossing.
The mini driver was wrongly reacting to the downstream traffic light by mistake, and had already crossed the stop line before the amber light came on, (which can just be seen in front of the cammer right at the start of the clip and more clearly on the repeat @2:53) that mini should not be stopping inside the yellow box and therefore is totally at fault.
Nice user name though 😂😂
@@sirbollocks609 Know your highway code, has to be a solid white line with a red light to stop.
@@unclegreybeard3969 not my best English I admin, "its a pedestrian crossing" was meant to say that the reason for the breaking is the pedestrian crossing the road, lol
@@sirbollocks609 That wasn’t a red light for the Mini driver. To prove this, there isn’t a solid white line at those lights, in front of the Mini, like there are on the opposite side of the road just before the lights.
Those lights were not for cars that have already drove past the first set of lights 2:52, that would have a solid white line where you must stop behind at a red light.
The Mini shouldn’t have stopped as those traffic lights were not for him.
However, even though it was the Mini driver’s fault, the camera car was going too fast and wasn’t paying attention. But still the Mini driver’s fault.
When the pedestrian will be able to cross, every traffic light will be red, in all directions.

Most people who have little cars have them for a reason, other than economy, I live by that and I give them a wide berth and pass when whenever possible.
9:07 You can overtake on the left in slow moving queues of traffic. Is it me or does the queue on the left seem a bit short and moving quite fast?
2:46 .. the Mini stopped in the junction thinking the second set of lights (beyond the box junction markings) were a different lights when in fact they are connected to the ones they'd already gone though. I wish I had a quid for the number of times people do that on larger junctions.
Yep. At 2:52 the Mini drove over the solid white line when the lights were not red. There is no solid white line in front of the Mini when it stopped. So it shouldn’t have stopped there.
1:44 - poor observation by the car pulling out of the side road, but the golf driver was driving far too fast for the conditions and the emerging vehicle wouldn't have been expecting him to be going at that speed or overtaking the cammer.
3:00 "the mini had heaps of time to go"... Just shows how much these people actually know about the roads xD The line for the junction was miles back, that was absolutely no reason whatsoever to stop there... it's not a matter of opinion.
The blue Mini driver (2:47) shouldn’t have stopped there. There is no solid white line at the lights.
Yep. At 2:52 the Mini drove over the solid white line, before the lights were red.
#7 How many times do you see this? The driver enters the junction on a changing light at amber, then on the other side of the junction stops when the light goes to red: IT'S STILL THE SAME SET OF LIGHTS!! The Mini should not have stopped: they've crossed the stop line so they need to complete their transition through the junction. It's not even as if it was a big junction

Nice One Piotr H - I lived in China for 6 years and never drove - They are terrible drivers!
Incidents like #86 where the car pulls out in the cammer, shows that steering around someone is usually a lot safer than slamming on the brakes. Too many drivers simply slam on the brakes when a problem is unfolding often causing more collisions behind them.
One video I saw had a car crossing the hard shoulder after a crash. A driver confronted by the car spun his car round and gunned his engine. This brought him to a halt quicker than just using his brakes.
Well done that lorry driver at 20:04. Funniest thing I have seen in ages.
Dude at 18:16 saying the car overtaking would be fucked. Sorry no. Your the one pulling out on to the main road while unsafe. That black car is allowed to overtake. You should always check before pulling out. You would be paying sorry.
167
Do not overtake where you might come into conflict with other road users. For example:
approaching or at a road junction on either side of the road
where the road narrows
when approaching a school crossing patrol
between a kerb and a bus or tram when it is at a stop
where traffic is queuing at junctions or road works
when you would force another road user to swerve or slow down
at a level crossing
when a road user is indicating right, even if you believe the signal should have been cancelled - do not take a risk; wait for the signal to be cancelled
stay behind if you are following a cyclist approaching a roundabout or junction, and you intend to turn left
when a tram is standing at a kerbside tram stop and there is no clearly marked passing lane for other traffic
It’s simple DO NOT overtake at junctions
@@hausmaster9801 And also look both ways when pulling out from a side road.
@3:00 they are past the original set of lights the mini has no reason to brake at all here what are they doing
The clip at 2:45 - Mini stopped for no reason, probably confused that the lights went red, and was wrong to do so, however the cammer had plenty of time to react.

@@batvetone LOL, what? The mini was in the junction and should have cleared it. The red light it stopped at was for cars not yet in the junction. There is no stop line where the mini stopped.
@@batvetone As much as I agree majority blame, if not all, is with the cammer, you are wrong on how the mini handled it. They were in a junction and should have cleared it, its a double set of lights that signal the cars before the box, not in the box..... Really the faults here are the mini driver getting confused by the lights and stopping when they shouldn't have (otherwise are you telling me they should stop in a box junction?) and the cammer for gunning through an amber and having the reactions of a sloth.
119 had a clear view of the traffic coming up the ramp and had all the room in the world to move over a lane to allow easy merging.
The Mini @2.45 should not have stopped at all. That red light isnt for them. They passed the line where you would stop ages ago.
Although as they stop the light is red. If they had stopped and that light was amber then maybe. But that's deffo red.
@@nick_7869 Doesn't apply as this is a repeater light and there is no stop line.
@@nick_7869 That wasn’t a red light for the Mini driver. Those lights are for the cars that hadn’t crossed the solid white line, at the first set of traffic lights 2:52,a few car lengths behind the Mini.
Sometimes when you pull up to traffic lights, just behind the solid white line on the road, you can’t see the traffic lights. Because they are above you/above your wing mirrors. So you can’t see the colour change unless you lean forwards a lot and look up, or look out of the side window. Or if you’re driving a buss or lorry, you can’t always see the first set of lights at the solid white line. So they placed secondary/repeater lights a little bit in front, so you’ll be able to see the lights.
The Mini driver had past the first lights where you pull up to the white line on the road, meaning; you can’t go beyond it if the lights are red.
To prove this, there isn’t a solid white line at those lights, in front of the Mini (2:48), like there are on the opposite side of the road just before the lights.
Those lights were not for cars that have already drove past the first set of lights, that would have a solid white line where you must stop behind at a red light.
The Mini shouldn’t have stopped as those traffic lights were not for him.
However, even though it was the Mini driver’s fault, the camera car was going too fast and wasn’t paying attention. But still the Mini driver’s fault.

6:35 ish
the van driver was NOT an idiot, he was merely stopping people from pushing in the queue, where did the cammer want to drive? over the white lines just to get one car length ahead?
yes absolutely!! The stupid people in the car recording the video think its their right to jump the queue and cut back in at the top. This is typical behaviour for a certain proportion of drivers I find.
If you notice at the start of the clip there are still 2 clear legal lanes, the van had no right to be blocking them.
@@chinapig71 Yes I'm not saying the van should have done that, but people get pissed off when some drivers believe they are special and can cut in at the top of the queue.

#28 listening to dream theater, fair play thought I was the only one 😂
Not the van driver's job to try to control what other drivers do on the road. That's why they get frustrated.
2:45 The Mini was already in the Junction. Those light did not have a stop line and the mini was clearly at fault for stopping when they should not have. Thoses are far lights and not stop lights.
18:00 actually, you nearly hit him. Ridiculous place for him to overtake but as an officer I can tell you, the rules state you must look both ways and giveway to traffic already on the road you are joining.
Then the UK needs to review it's traffic laws because that is absolutely ridiculous!! This car was making an illegal overtake and obviously travelling at excessive speed but apparently From A "road traffic cop" or a "highway patrol officer" whatever you call yourselves the vehicle legally turning left onto his open is the one to blame because some fall as in a hurry doing an illegal overtake... I know the UK is pretty backward from what I've seen lately on the news with her two-tier policing state but who in the right mind looks left to make sure the traffic is clear when it's obvious the traffic you need to give way to is coming from your right
@@MFFMPN It is a requirement in the UK to look both ways before entering the main road. Failure to do so which leads to an accident, will be blamed upon you as you failed to give way to traffic already on the major road. Simple really. The overtaking car would also be dealt with for careless driving, but you will undoubtedly be picking up the bill for the accident. It seems idiotic that somebody would join a road and not look both ways. That's just plain dangerous.
@@Edvard.Munchkinthe overtaking driver was traveling significantly in excess of the speed limit. The slowing of the cam car would likely be deemed adequate, and the overtaking car would not just be liable for ‘careless driving’, but also for attempting an overtake in a hazardous location. It’s guaranteed points and likely loss of license to overtake when approaching a junction like this scenario
@@MFFMPN Nope an officer just told you who would be at fault, on your test if you don't look both ways you fail.
14:30 old man decides to block all traffic from getting around - What a nob.
#4 I disagree. The Golf overtook by going on hashing and was a distance away from the junction when the car arrived. The driver probably made the right decision for a car travelling at the speed limit. The only problem was he was slow to pull away and the golf was speeding. Both at fault, but it dies matter how fast the Golf was travelling.
But the Golf was doing well above the speed limit, if a driver has no ability to judge the speed of approaching traffic they shouldn't be driving (neither should the Golf driver tbf).
@@ferrumignisIMO, the emerging driver has judged (and rightly so) that he has right of way based on the amount of clear road he can see on his right. He then has to look left before he can start the manoeuvre. He doesn't have to judge the Golf's speed, but possibly he has assessed the speed of the camcar and not seen the Golf ( it wasn't in the correct road position) and anyway speeding doesn't give you right of way!
Assuming the cam car was close to the speed limit, you can see his right turn was safe based on how close the cam car was to the incident. I believe the Golf is doing 20mph over the camcar so that is 50 in a 30. Way too fast!
The Golf has also overtaken in the short distance between two bollards that is hashed. The authorities really don't want people to overtake there! So it's not just speeding, it's excessive speeding and reckless driving.
Finally the emerging driver has seen the Golf and stopped, so he made the continuous observation.
I do apportion some blame to the emerging driver, but that portion of the blame depends on how much faster than the speed limit the Golf was doing, which I can't honestly judge.
19:07 That junction in Yorkshire is a hot spot for accidents.
I see debris there all the time!

Take care out there Folks and get wherever you are gong safely.
14 mins. The 4x4 rolls over and the old fool checks his bumper BEFORE the driver! FFS!
2:46 - the mini driver should not have stopped at all. Those lights are the repeater lights at the far side of the junction and do not have a stop line. They are only there to allow drivers stopped close to the stop line, at the entrance to the junction, to see when the lights change, when they are too close to the lights on their side to see them. We have a similar junction at the exit from a shopping centre and drivers regularly turn left on a green light and then stop at the red light, which is not meant for them and is always red when their light is green.
#31 - the overtake was poor due to the junction, but the car emerging from the side road was probably at fault here for poor observation
Absolutely, he didn’t check for oncoming cars on the left before he made the turn. The cammer was 100% at fault
Thanks to #3 for being a good biker, love it.

Driving down an empty lane past a queue of more than 6 vehicles, it's evens that one of them will pull out.
At 3:00 he had already passed the light for the jumction so the mini definitely should not have stopped but cammer should be more aware and need to allow proper stopping distances. Both at fault there
Mini stopped at the line. It's choice how hard to brake. Cammer was too close, too fast, and not ready to keep yellow box clear. Seems had already taken the decision to "go", then got caught out.
@@kencoggin4566 there was no line in front of the Mini. Because that isn’t a stopping area. The stopping area was a couple of cars back behind the Mini, at the first traffic lights with the solid white line 2:52.That line means you can’t cross it when the lights are red. But the lights were green when the Mini crossed that line.
The lights that the Mini stopped in front of, are for people that are behind the Mini at the first set of lights. When you drive up to that line, you sometimes can’t see the traffic lights that would be above you. So there are secondary lights so you can see when the lights change to green.

Your written explanation for the rear shunt on the mini is completely WRONG. The mini had no reason to stop as he did, the red light is for the junction he has already passed thro. Where he stopped there is no stop line, he was not required to stop. However the car rear ending him is at fault as far as Highway code and insurance decisions.

4:42 ehh, summer tyres. Who bothers to use the winter tyres during the winter. Probably only me.
The mini driver had gone past the stop line and had no business slamming on llike that
50/50 because the cammer wasn't paying attention and wouldn't have been able to stop in time for the red light. The mini had passed the stop line but the cammer still hit them about three seconds after the light had changed while they were fully across the line meaning if the mini hadn't stopped the cammer would have run the red light at a pedestrian crossing due to not paying attention.
Doesn't matter whether the mini driver slammed his brakes on near a set of lights he thought was turning red or in the middle of a straight road the simple fact the cam car was too close to stop in time resulting in the accident. Cammers insurance will pay out as they are at fault
@@apgiceman7116 what if a child had suddenly run out, should the mini driver run child over so the car behind didn't run into him, some of the comments on here make me wonder how traffic keeps moving at all
@Daedalus's Flight my point is the following driver should always be far enough back and ready for anything. although he had no reason to stop the fact is he did, if the following car had watched his braking distance it would not have happened
#80 it is for that reason that you should use the Dutch Reach technique for opening a car door so you can check the blind spot
And they want us to cycle more. Not with these bastards on the loose
No 102, by HMS Sultan. I spent much of my Naval Career there, and it can be a bit of a pain with people crossing for sure.
2:46, the mini stopped at the Amber because it was safe to do so, the cammer was clearly speeding and not keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
50:44 #105 I live there in Ashby-de-la-zouch and that roundabout is renown for having car crashes! Pretty much always in that exact spot too believe it or not
56:58 cammer should be expecting that to happen when they’re in that lane
Scrooge #66, #68, #69, #74 Why is it ALWAYS Audi drivers who think they never do anything wrong?
Everyone saying the mini driver was correct needs to hand their license in at the earliest opportunity.
So we just run people over on crossings now?
27…. She was in the wrong, BMW had already proceeded through the restricted lanes..
do you know anything about box junctions ? 2.59 blue mini at RED light,car behind was to close simple and should NOT enter box junction if he can not exit.
first clip..... curious as to why you are in the outside lane, as all three lanes appear equal.
@47:00 'Excellent commentary!'
54:55 is that a “Toucan Crossing” where the cyclist in the hi-vis rides across? Many ASLs are not well maintained
16:09, why is ther a one way road sign, and then the incoming car has signs facing them too, suggesting it isn't a one way road? Or perhaps the cammer is going the wrong way, and hthe one-way sign has been spun around?
It's a priority sign showing cammer has priority & people coming the other way have to give way to oncoming traffic. There is a large white arrow showing who has priority & a small red arrow showing who should concede. The sign shows the opposite for the other drivers on the other side of that pinch point.
What is the music called in number 94
experience taught me as a passenger, if the driver overcorrects into a tankslapper, shout " let Go" the castor effect will straighten the wheels then you can pull it straight, only had it happen once but it deffo worked
45:53 Silver Range Rover might be doing a second lap of roundabout. It seems there is a road closure and lots of yellow signs. Cammer does not factor in the possibility that Range Rover might not exit but continue round. Vehicles travelling this slow circulating roundabouts need special caution from other drivers even where no temporary signs are shown. Cammer works herself up unnecessarily over this.
9:19 - It is so glaringly obvious that the van is going to cut in front of the car with the camera in. That is evident from the moment the clip starts. There was plenty of distance to brake, so why was it such a close call? The second you see that situation developing, regardless of who is right or wrong, you take steps to reduce the risk - in this case, brake while there is time. To pull out and overtake the way they did afterwards as well was really agressive and totally unnecessary.
30.10 When you see a guy with his elbow hanging out the window you just know he is thinking more about himself than anyone else.
Probably the best motor he,s ever driven and feeling good about it. Most likely the bosses motor too.
#7 Lucky the Mini wasn’t pushed into the pedestrian.
41:05 why do you overtake near a junction? it was poor by the cammer too as the visibility is less due to the vehicle in front.
I hope the person annotating this video doesn't have a license with some of there hot takes..
How was it the minis fault? Breaks were applied after the light went read and the car behind followed them into a clear box when the lights were amber.
Stopped where they were not supposed, or allowed, to - where there was no stop line, the light being a duplicate for the previous stop line, and within a box junction. It isn't an "o"pinion that the Mini should have gone (though of course, colliding with someone who's been consistently in front of you is almost certainly on you for not paying attention and keeping distance)
The box was not clear - There was a Mini in there.
2:45 Mini should not have stopped because there was no solid white line, meaning that the red light does not apply to them! However, the cammer is still at fault because it is a rear-end collision and they did not leave adequate braking room and were not paying enough attention. I think on reviewing the footage most insurance companies would choose to settle as joint-fault due to Mini's dangerous driving.
The lack of spacial and situational awareness plus deluded embodiment by many dashcam users is ironically why we have so many avoidable accidents on our roads. Its not hard to slow down and let others drivers get on with their day.
#7 looks like they've mistaken the repeater light. The clip starts part way through the junction so it's difficult to tell it's the repeater light but I can't see a solid white stop line in front of it which means that light doesn't apply to those vehicle now and they should've continued through. This is why the cammer wouldn't have easily anticipated the mini stopping because it wasn't supposed to.
From what I’ve seen from these videos and over 5 years of driving so far, the cars that are being driven by bad drivers are (but not limited too)
Any BMW, Mercedes or Audi
Peugeots (specifically 2000’s Peugeots)
Taxis
And Van Drivers
At 3:04 100% the cammers fault! Yes the mini broke hard but the cammer was clearly no paying attention and didn’t even brake straight away.
That HGV in clip #46 at 24:55 has probably burst an air line. The HGV brakes are air-operated, and air pressure OPENS the brake. That's a safety feature, so that a parked vehicle with a leaky air system won't release its parking brake by itself over time. So if you happen to lose air pressure on a brake, it will engage at full tilt.
So I know what the HGV driver was doing: nothing. His brake lights didn't go on, so he wasn't braking, and his front wheels kept spinning normally. It was obviously a mechanical failure, and he couldn't have done anything to prevent it. Thankfully, everyone seem to have lived.
4:49 Jim Bowen had a phrase on Bullseye; stay in the black keep out of the red there's nothing in this game for two in a bed. I think the black and white areas here are a simile.
I don't think there was one video clip showing the 'cam driver's speed, why? Apart from the obvious incidents showing drivers lack of awareness, I'd like to know just how many 'cam drivers were over the speed limit when they recorded their incident.
van at 01:08 can be reported for an offence. Rule 195 in the Highway Code states that: you MUST give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing.
