Only just come across your channel and what a breath of fresh air it is too! Great clips and well put together with advice too! Many thanks and keep up the good work!
I like how the driver of the black Shogun who brake checked the truck then went on to drive through a red light to avoid getting into an actual fight with the guy he just pissed off
2:10 NO! Do not stop in the outside lane of a 50mph road if your car is driveable. Move to a place of safety to do full damage checks, exchange details etc. If vehicles are not driveable, get all people out and to a place of safety whilst calling for police assistance.
thats a motorway so its 70 not 50
@@97antiv Incorrect, it's a 3-lane A-road. You can even see the "50 MPH" signs. The same applies, though, whether it's a road like this or it's a motorway. As Steve said, if your vehicle is driveable you should move it over to the left as soon and as safely as possible. You absolutely should NOT just stop in the third lane and get out, it's a stupid and dangerous thing to do.
@@97antiv Motorways don't have a pavement next to them.
If you are on a 'smart motorway' the outside lane is very likely to be safer than lane 1, as lane 1 has fully loaded HGVs doing maximum speed, whereas the outside lane only has cars in it which are lighter, easier to stop and do less damage if they hit you.
This is why smart motorways need to be shut down, they are incredibly dangerous.
@@ohgosh5892 smart motorways are not dangerous. Dumb drivers are dangerous. On a smart motorways follow the official line, move left and get to a refuge. It is very rare a car stops instantly and won't freewheel
Nice to see the Taxi and Merc drivers stop and help out the young rider.
Such a caring society we have in the UK...😡
Considering the attitude to motorbike riders (in particular, but to other road users in general too) I'm not surprised, most people are thinking "good, he deserves it!"
Can see why he made the move he did though, he must've assumed that he would be shielded by the other car that moved, but timed it wrong
On the positive side though, I've slipped off my bike twice (in the wet! Still a noob) without damaging or injuring anyone else, and loads of people came to ask me if I was alright and helped me! Makes me think that people really are caring after all, hopefully I practice the same if someone needs help too...
Always amazing how few drivers stop to help or offer the das cam footage if needed. It would keep our insurance costs down if the das cam footage was available for the insurance company or the police
@@fetchstixRHD considering the attitude... wtf. Glad I am not driving / living in the UK anymore reading stuff like that....
Yup... I have shoulder ligament damage due to a car that took me out years ago on a bend... they drove around me and bogged off too. too many doing that these days.
@@fetchstixRHD Why are you even surprised. This country is full of horrible, selfish, entitled people👎
1:39. The Highway Code isn’t as clear cut as that. Whilst it says get into the right lane on the roundabout (it seems to assume 2 lanes; whereas multiple lanes it seems to imply they all have good clear direction which is rubbish), and it then says to only choose the outer left lane after the penultimate exit … there is nothing to say you cannot stay on the roundabout. It makes it still seem as if traffic on a roundabout is in an infinite circle until it exits. It actually emphasises users to look out for people going around, and poor signals etc.
As always the Highway Code, beyond the MUST etc, usually also gives advice which asks you to look out for others mistakes. It doesn’t mean you’re wrong if you fail to do so, but it does ask you to - and it could be argued you’re driving without attention. And often the HWC usually gives rules that compliment each other - a rule for one car and a different rule for the other car - that basically ask both users to look out for the other and to avoid collisions. Therefore - never assume everything is going to plan. You’ve got to allow for mistakes of others.
What’s annoying these days is that most folk seem to drive without a care, making mistakes daily, in turn becoming habit. Then those habits become a society accepted norm. Take the 2 second rule for example; or lane discipline.
6:00 and 8:20 Good driver sometimes miss their turn/exit, bad drivers never do.
Shit happens, so many times I chose the wrong lane at a roundabout, signalrd to see if someone would be kind enough to let me in the right lane, if not I do like daft punk and go around the world, around the wooorld
2:38 Dangerous driver brake-checking in the Black Mitsubishi also went through the red light on the roundabout.
Cam car must have cut him up when he moved back into that lane. I'm sure you can hear the black car's tyres screeching.
@@Chrisallengallery So black Mitsubishi was going to definitely illegally undertake the cam car? Can see the disregard of the black Mitsubishi for other road users as it passes through the definite red light on the roundabout, or did you miss that too? 🤷🏼♂️
@@ajlifesolutions7072 Undertaking is not illegal.
@@Chrisallengallery yes it is duffus
@@grahamjordan1040 ua-cam.com/video/zF8gShMOBwo/v-deo.html
My grandfather once told me treat every road user as if they are out to kill you, i have been driving since 1968, at times 35k per year, i saw a lot of mishaps,dead people most accidents were caused by stupid people and like you said if you cock it up on a roundabout go round again etc, we seem to be in such a rush.
Nowadays there seems to be far more dangerous drivers onthe road with the associated road rage and i hope if anyone does a brake check i am able to stop, my pet hate are the tailgaters .
My trick for tailgate is take my foot off the gas and slow to the point of walking pace if necessary till they take the hint and pass
(Obviously NOT in heavy trafficked areas)
Definitely, tailgaters are the worst. The closer they get, the slower I go!
@@PP-cm4re And the more frustrated they get.
I like this style for a compilation, fun to read your opinion and the text on screen for a perfect amount of time. No need to pause or go back to finish reading
Me too, I have subscribed because I like these videos. 😉
I need to read faster then 🤣 how embarrassing…..
💙
You have to wonder if some of these drivers ever passed a driving test in the UK?
You should see drivers in Ottawa, Canada. About 6-8 years ago, the ever so wise city decided that they could save money by not having a seperate police traffic department! On top of that, because the pandemic caused a backlog of applications for driver's licenses, the government started passing almost anyone, just so they wouldn't have to book a repeat test!!!
@@SlickBubbles Sounds like it needs its very own dash cam channel then.
3:12 and then the SUV runs the red light and goes form the left lane into wrong exit, probably shitting himself at the concept of stopping at the lights.
Well spotted! Tbh I think I'd have ploughed into the back of him with footage like that to back me up!
And non-functional brake lights!
@@Lbuzzer They're in the bumper, the high-level is also there but looks like some idiot put the window tint all across the window so it's faintly visible in the video.
If that was me I'd be sending that footage straight to the cops.
@@Captain-Cardboard Although i agree with you would it really make much of a difference?
I don't know about the UK but here in the Netherlands you can't fine the licenseplateholder without proof he/she was behind the wheel at the time.
The last clip was the most British thing I've ever seen, including the phrase "hooting and spooking the hosses". 😂
and they all went home for a cup of earl grey and jam tarts! 🇬🇧☕️
And the verbal explainations despite then both already clearly both knowing.
"And that's why we don't overtake on corners". 😂😂
@@stbu9709 Earl Grey????
We are english. No self respecting Englishman would drink that rubbish. It is a truly low quality tea & was named for the Americans & idiot Europeans to make them think that while drinking it they were behaving like true English Gentlemen.
Star Trek The Next Generation even had Captain Picard (The Actor Patrick Stewart is English (A true Yorkshire lad)) drinking it because it backed up the imagery of English Gentlemen & it easily conviced Americans thats what we drink.
WE DON'T
But we do love a jam tart🤣
How does that make it British? I mean ig maybe the word “hooting” could be classed as a word more commonly used in Britain but the word hosses is a spelling mistake right it’s meant to say horses as in like yk honking your horn and scaring the horses… idk if I’m just being stupid here but yk i don’t really get how that phrase would be very “British”
Also I’m pretty sure most of not all of these clips were taken in Britain ig that says something about the drivers there
3:00 the suv then going through the red light shows just how much of a coward he is he won’t even stay to fight
Just let it be and move on. Pride BS is beyond a joke!
@@ManOfMonism oh yeah 100%, I’m all for just letting stuff go no point in dying for pride. Just pointing out how the SUV driver quickly went from the aggressor to the coward in this clip pulling that stupid move and then running at the lights when he realised what situation he was about to get in to!
At 3:52 I can see why the car flashed his lights, at his speed he had to hit his brakes hard,
the lorry driver isn`t judging the speed of the car correctly otherwise he wouldn`t have pulled out.
I`ve had that happen to me 100s of times (not just by lorries) as I travel within the speed limit.
We`ve all had those 1 flash pull out road users.
Totally agree with this. It's happened to me loads as well. Just because someone is indicating doesn't mean they have the right to change lane. Indicate, wait for all passing traffic, and then make your manoeuvre in such a way that no other road use has to alter their speed because of you.
I have to agree, the comment that the B&Q driver did the right thing is completely wrong and car drivers can be just as bad. The driver knowing that they would be over taking the lorry in front should have checked their mirror and blind spot to see what is in the outside lane. Two seconds later they should have looked again to see how much closer the car was to them. That will give any driver a good idea of how fast the vehicle is getting close to you and whether if it would be safe to overtake.
The driver was moving towards the outside lane as soon as their indicator had flashed once.
TIP: When you are driving in the outside lane, keep an eye on vehicles in the inside lane as you approach them. If the distance between them and the vehicle in front of them gets to less the three car lengths, they will overtake that vehicle.
1:05 looks like the BMW was swerving around the bike instead of turning round the roundabout like you suggest.
CBT rider’s lane discipline was awful, and I agree with your analysis. BMW could, theoretically, have avoided knocking her off, but had practically nowhere to go when the rider he expected to take the 1st exit crossed his path.
Even if he was in the right, which is debatable, the BMW driver could have avoided the bike by going around the roundabout again. Would have been better for everyone concerned. Over the years I have made many manoevers to avoid hitting another vehicle, even if it requires changing my route for 30 seconds. Might explain why I only pay £130 fully comp insurance on a 2 litre car and about the same on a one litre bike.
@@MrDickBills cunt on bike at fault, bmw should not be inconvenienced for someone else's stupidity.
Bike at fault, give way to your right.
@@TheJamesRG I hope you don't drive. You think having a crash just because you are in the right is better than trying to avoid it in the first place.
1.39 You imply that the red car, which stayed in the left hand lane, was the one to blame, but, it was the blue car which crossed over a lane. As you say "It's then their job (a car in the right hand lane) to make sure they aren't cutting anyone up", but that's exactly what the blue car did. Also, it is common practise for slower vehicles to run round on the left lane as they then don't cause difficulties trying to get back out.
Thank you for doing this, we always can be just a little bit better at spotting hazards develop and seeing others driving mistakes can be really helpful in improving our own technique and having greater awareness.
The last one, everything you said about the cammer, I %1000 agree with. I ride a motorcycle, and I would never overtake on a corner. In terms of the horses, I always give them a lot of room because you never know how they'll react
@ #17, yeah I agree with your statement on this... People who are clearly in the wrong lane but trying to force themselves over cutting up other drivers is the worst kind of driving. If you're in the wrong lane, accept that you screwed up; Take the wrong exit, have a mystery trip, find a safe place or next roundabout to turn around, come back and try again.
Almost or actually causing an accident just trying to save a few minutes is absolutely not the choice to make...
So many people just have no patience when driving. Always in too much of a rush to get somewhere. I'd rather arrive late than not at all...
Besides, if you cause an accident and you are part of the accident as well, you lose way more than just the few minutes you where affraid of losing. And of course the damage to your car.
Interesting- I agree though. If you make mistake don’t do last min turns, just go on and make a u turn where possible and safe (and legal lol)
I love how that third clip includes a discussion on 'wet wipes' 😂😂
4.19: I was leaving London after midnight on three lane M1. One truck was passing another and I was passing both on the outer lane at the max speed limit or maybe a tad over, to get past. Suddenly, out of nowhere-and I had seen an empty rear mirror before passing, a big black car was behind me with lights flashing telling me to get out of the way immediately. he must have been doing the 'ton' and did he expect me to go upwards or apply reheat? Some late night M-way drivers move as if their accelorator pedals are stuck in the down position.
In that situation I ignore them and stay in lane till I decide to move left. If my lane discipline is good (and it is) then I am under no obligation to get out of anyone's way.
It makes you wonder how some people even got their licence
There are driving instructors that does mock tests to experience driver's and some experience driver's fail their mock tests I know I'm going to get hate for this but I think every year driver's should re take their tests and should be law just to see if they will pass again like you do with mot for the car and yes that includes police ambulance fire brigade too
Thanks for watching. Stay safe!

2:07 I could see that coming. Way too close to the van, there's no way you were stopping in time.
So pleased to see that somebody knows how to drive, good analysis, let's hope some people learn from this.
3:58 Whilst the car appeared to be travelling a little fast and there was no excuse for his later action, the lorry did not check his mirror sufficiently before pulling out. Either that or he decided to be a mobile lane blocker.
1) Setting your turn indicator is a sign of intent, NOT a right! 2) It seems to me that as soon as people pass their test the 'Mirror Signal Maneuver' mantra goes out the window ESPECIALLY when turning left or first exit from a roundabout. The number of times I see brake lights, turn steering wheel, put on indicators! 3) PLEASE, if you're going to pull out to pass a parked vehicle or cyclist, especially on urban roads, INDICATE, the following vehicle can't necessarily see why you're pulling out. and finally 4) Always indicate correctly even when you don't think there's anyone to see your indicator, it's as much for pedestrians as other road traffic. If you indicate and no one sees it, no harm done, if you don't indicate when you should, well work it out for your self! We all share the road system and should respect each others right and safety to be on it.
Great videos and spot on analysis. Such a lack of general awareness, patience and courtesy shown in these videos, still, like they say, a good crash is one you walk away from, a great crash is where you can re-use the car!
Driving in UK has got worse in last year or so (or maybe I'm just unlucky). I try not to lose my temper and simply expect that everyone around me will cut me up so I'm not suprised when they actually do.
There is NO fast lane! The right hand lane is an overtaking lane and if the faster driver was within the speed limit, the fella who changed lanes is solely to blame!
The red car one at around 1:35 - I nearly did this myself once at a confusing roundabout, but thankfully I was looking around to check traffic and just carefully slowed and waited for the other vehicle to turn off.
Thanks for making the video. Helpful tips too. Imo, it would be a good idea for everyone to take a few refresher lessons with a qualified instructor after a few years driving.
there are channels on YT that cater for this kind of thing
Each segment is the right length. Great video. Thanks.
7:29 yes, the car pulling out is in the wrong but when its busy like that and someone lets you out, you do feel pressured to go. and you're right - it doesn't help that the road markings are basically non-existent. good job there were no collisions
If you feel pressured you shouldn't be on the road son
6:30 You are wrong on this one, it's a 50 limit and he's in the passing lane, so it should be expected that he is going faster. He was only a few cars lengths behind when the other car pulled in front of him.
Totally agree with you! It's not that if someone's driving faster, he is also at fault when being cut off.. It's the fast lane for a reason.. If it ended up in the crash, it was 100% the fault of the guy cutting him off for not using his mirrors..
@@MazTheWizard no fast lane on any UK road, dunno why people seem to think there is. The Astra van was going to fast and the car should’ve looked in his mirrors.
I see the new dumbed down cliche 'Too fast for conditions' crap. Where roads in the past have been a 50mph for decades, suddenly now become 20mph kid you not councils answer to create more pedestrians and cyclists which already had their own paths separated by a 4 foot barrier. On top of that creeping in is 'too fast for conditions' promotion meaning they could do you for doing 10mph - what a dumbed down society.
As regards Astra it was doing 47mph, in any case could have been doing 200mph the self righteous new breed in the wrong by moving out for no reason.
There's no such thing as a "fast lane"... The road is 50mph, that limit applies to all lanes, so if you're doing 50 in the left lane on a 50 limit road, you shouldn't have to expect someone zooming past you at a considerably higher speed like that in the overtake lane. Astra van driver was going waaay too fast.
But that also does not excuse the other car for moving over without checking that it was safe to do so.
@@killakanzgaming It's difficult to tell exactly, but to me it looks as if the cammer (and car ahead) was going quite a bit under 50.
But anyway I disagree, even if you are doing 80 you should still have to check for faster moving more traffic before changing lanes. Speed limits should not mean you have any right to abandon basic motorway principles.
Also I did not use the term "fast lane", I used the correct term of passing lane.
Main thing I always take away from these video's is just to chill the f**k out when driving.
You don't need to beat the other guy, get revenge on the other guy or get upset when the other guy acts like a nobber.
It's much less hassle to avoid a collision than be in a collision that wasn't your fault.
good one folks. putting the facts as they happen. many forget that a right of way is not a given
Moral - only an extra 5-10 seconds even if it means giving way will result in safety - save hours of grief, and not incur fines or increment premium
Great upload
I love recognising the places in these videos. One of the unmarked locations at around 2:24 was somewhere called Cramlington near an entrance to the A1 south.
Love the channel and very good comments in the video! The person at 4:04 undertook both lorries. Murky legality as you can undertake on a slip road, but always dangerous.
Possibly a better outcome than the horses being surprised by a car coming around that bend towards them at 30mph though 😂
6:54 To be fair, an artic is a bit hard to spot. 😁
This is why I try to say "only a fool breaks the 2 second rule" I was told this by my driving instructor many many years ago . Find a focus that the driver in front passes, then say it. If you pass it before you complete the phrase - then you are too close.
Take care everyone ♡
Three seconds is much better.
7:02 I had a similar incident while driving a lorry, wasn’t a very fast accident but you can’t feel it inside the cab. I only knew because they signalled for me to pull over
6:22 Prime example of why you should NOT give way to traffic joining the Motorway.
No, a prime example of why you should use your mirrors and anticipate.
@@hotpotato4027 Nope. Rule 259 combined with common sense. The car should not of moved for traffic joining the motorway where vehicles are already travelling the speed limit.
Unfortunately (for some reason) the last few years there’s some sort of entitlement that people are displaying while driving, the attitude of “I’m joining, they’ll move.”
It’s dangerous and it’s stupid. When people join the motorway, they are to give way to cars already on the motorway. End of.
@@MetalVII I didn't say anything about ignoring highway code rules but if you want to ignore commonsense in a potentially dangerous driving situation you can argue your rights through the insurance, from the hospital bed or the garage when you go to retrieve your possessions from your damaged car, NOW IT'S END OF!!
I am just flabbergasted at the lack of realization that you can actually kill someone by being so careless .
3:01 Big man in SUV running a red light so cammer can't stop alongside him for "a chat"
The clip at 1:30 almost happened to me the other day! An MG5 in the left hand lane, cut across me to go right, luckily it was a low speed roundabout, so was able to stop in time!
I can’t believe that guy in the first clip drove off without checking on the person in that grey car!
Good analysis of the situations shown.
Good one looking after the horses at the end.
1:30 I've seen so many accidents at the Keir roundabout. People come flying onto it not paying attention to the lane markings
Big shout out to jack and Vera duckworth at the end there 😂
@6'34 M621 J2. Always have traffic joining and going slowly, after a corner. Notorious junction before the M/Way opens into 4 lanes for J3 with traffic joining just after the bridge. it's a 50 as well.
No.15 had the same thing happen to me at that very junction. Found myself having to swerve into on coming traffic. Thankfully no collisions. It is a bad road that should have been upgraded with the introduction of the new motorway nearby.
Does anyone else watch these hoping to see places near where they live? Finally saw one today in the second to last clip 😂
Brilliant thanks
I like to watch these to make sure that I am not one of the stars! 😁
Clip number 13 is the M621 in Leeds and is a 50mph road, the silver Astra looked to be going quicker than this.
"A greater number of variety of wipes". This video is full of them.
5:34 Best of instant karma!!!
UK drivers are like watching two grannies argue about the last biscuit
We`re not bad drivers, it`s the foreigners in GB driving like cunts on our roads! That`s where the problem is!
Not surprised the A13 near Beckton is on here. 😂
Hate when HGV pulling in front of you doing 59mph - you’re doing anything from 70-80mph so quite often you’ve to brake hard to avoid collision. In most European country’s if a vehicle executes a manoeuvre causes you to brake or forces you to change your lane to avoid collision it’s called failing to yield the right of way and it’s punishable offence!
If you're doing 80mph you are breaking the law.
@@cherylstein438 you mean traffic violation, and ?
You got it right at 7;40 road markings 9n the uk are shonky…dunno if it’s council cutbacks but loads of them are faded or missing
The dangerous SUV driver should have been reported to the authorities. I’m sure I’ve seen a website where dash cam footage can be uploaded by members of the public for any dangerous driving incidents that can be analysed by the Police.
4:10 Indicating does not give right of way. HGV should have given right of way to traffic travelling faster than him.
6:25 It's a motorway, so presumably 70mph limit. Not everyone does 70mph on a motorway, some travel slower. Just because three vehicles are travelling roughly the same speed doesn't mean they're all doing 70mph or there abouts. Irrespective of such, the vehicle that moves into the right lane without checking is wholly at fault given the distance between the two before he moves across. The fact that the front vehicle doesn't even stop is shocking too, as you're meant to at the scene of an incident resulting in damage (which it appears to have caused as it forced the Vauxhall into the barrier)
8:44 That is Cossal in Nottinghamshire. Any driver who goes down that road even semi regularly should know there is frequently horses on the road in that area. I think there might even be a warning sign about it at one point along that road, not 100% sure though.
Are you stupid. any driver who goes down that road SEMI REGULARLY SHOULD KNOW there ARE frequently horses on the road in that area THINK there might even be a warning sign about it NOT 100 % SURE. Do you use this road SEMI REGULARLEY then. If yes then you should know if there is a sign there or not. So if you are not sure how the fuck does anyone not from shitholes like Eastwood or Ilkeston supposed to know. hurry up back home your village is missing its idiot
I was looking at the drivers speed and thinking they were going too fast for that corner. They got lucky but they should really have been going a touch slower
@@darrylrichardson7940 Are you okay? Do you need to chat?
Can't help but wonder if the black SUV was trying a crash for cash manoeuvre. The reason is because when they slammed on the brakes there were no brake lights and while you could quite easily get a blown bulb, the chances of both sides and the high line brake lights to all fail together is quite slim. I'm wondering if the brake lights were deliberately disabled to give the driver behind less warning.
At 2:46, text summary might be correct, but that Shogun has got no brake lights! That alone starts to get the "insurance scam" antennae wiggling...!
3:03 - That SUV ran the red light too!
13# just because he was going faster than the camera car don't mean they were going too fast. That was 100% the car that switched lanes fault
Clip 9, the lorry can't just pull out because he indicates, he has to assess the traffic and whether it is safe to do so. However, Mercedes gained nothing by flashing and it seems he was in wrong lane as he immediately pulls over to turn off!
I think he uses the left turn lane to overtake the lorries on the inside.
lol, go get in truck and try and predict that. After a 15 hour day. If the car was going 70 there would of been plenty of time. Car is not even visible when the truck pulls out.
@@Denzillify think you might need to go back to driving lessons?! pretty sure lorries have mirrors the same as all other vehicles, they help to see cars behind them and should be used to gauge what traffic in an outside lane is doing such as approaching at a faster speed than yourself to prevent another vehicle having to take preventative action to avoid a crash because you pull out in front of them👍. if you're tired then dont drive 🙂
@@colinjohnson9549 lol. stfu with your delusional nonsense. You just proved to me you are completely clueless about HGV driving, because you've never driven one have you? so quit yapping crap about something you know nothing about. Oh yea its so simple i will just stop halfway through my shift and say im too tired what an amazing idea why did i never think of that. What a moron.
Wow.
Edit: I just subscribed to ur UA-cam channel.
3:55 I think you're wrong here, the truck can clearly see the car and its approach speed, and an indicator doesn't give you right of way to just go into another lane. The truck should indicate, wait for the car to pass and then move over.
Your observation is quite correct. Just using a signal is to indicate your INTENTION to maneuver - not your RIGHT to carry out that maneuver at will!
2:09 I'm sorry but that is totally stupid advice. Not sure what sort of road that is, a dual carriageway becoming three lanes (?) but they're in a live lane, an outside lane where traffic is likely to be faster! How the hell are you going to stop traffic? Wave a flag, magic up a few cones and open your boot to show the keep left sign everyone has? The damage is absolutely minimal and the guy getting out and standing in front of a car that could so easily be hit and crushing him is stupid. Pull over to the left, where safe, and exchange details. If vehicles not driveable see Steve Smith's comment below.
I think it was sarcastic, hence the use of '.......', which is the equivalent of 'rolleyes'
@@AndreiTupolev I've read it again, and again and you may well be right. A few dots to indicate sarcasm isn't great when advising on road safety and something very serious. Not or (sic) would have been better although no one uses the latter these days.
MIght be very interesting if you also put the final verdict as a big icon or graphic in the video 😄
I can't believe #1 didn't stop... Wow
7:31 - that junction is Jessie Street in the Southside of Glasgow and it's a nightmare to get out of. The traffic you see here is coming off the M74 and when it's not moving in that direction then there's plenty of traffic going to the motorway - you have to make a suicide run if you want to turn right like the car featured. I don't even drive down there anymore - it's literally quicker to park elsewhere and walk.
1st clip, your advice 'I hope he learns to slow it down' is rubbish sir, because speed was not a factor in the near accident. It was a lack of concentration.
The road was dry, visibility great, 70mph was fine. It was the fact the Golf driver veered out of his lane and onto the verge which cause the problem.
Aside from that, you make some decent observations which are worth making a mental note for future driving.
6:22 That looks to be Leeds joining the M621 and its a 50mph limit that so many people continue to do 70 on, winds me up
just noticed it actually says M621. Anyway, bad drivers on there all the time
Love the Black Country way of spelling horses as hosses at the end, should really be osses (yes I’m from the Black Country lol) bet that confused some 😂
03:50 alternative point of view: if idiot in white car hadn't braked to avoid idiot in truck, would have hit truck about 4 seconds after its lane change.
Therefore, truck should NOT have changed lanes under the usual highway code and traffic laws about your driving forcing someone else to brake or swerve to avoid you.
That doesn't excuse idiot car driver's behaviour. But it probably explains it :-)
(edit: fixed time)
Possibly, though if the car was speeding (possible, though it's entirely feasible they weren't) that would be irrelevant, the lorry would have less spotting time. I'd say that there was plenty of time for the car to react without having to brake suddenly imo, though easy to say that sat on my comfy toilet seat 😂
Without knowing the road I cant say for sure, but blue signs mean motorway rules apply. Therefore that truck should not be in the inside lane at any time.
That white car was doing 80-90mph assuming the trucks were at their regulated limit of 60mph. Far too fast and, in any event, anybody who drives on motorways needs to be aware that trucks will pull out, and if you insist on a speed differential of 30mph then this will happen.
@@professorjamesmoriarty5191 The right hand lane is called the outside lane in the UK. As for HGVs not being in the rightmost lane, that only applies where there are three or more lanes, and is not relevant where there are two. At the point where the B&Q truck pulled out, the leftmost lane is clearly a slip-lane and does not count as a third lane.
@@professorjamesmoriarty5191 That was technically a two lane motorway there; the left lane was for turning off at the next junction
4:22 I feel like the divider (if that's what the middle line on the road is called), should be solid there.
love how the black suv ran a red light to avoid the cammer getting besides him
#9 I think you need to go back and think about your driving test - and the sections of the highway code covering manoeuvres. If you were to pull out into a lane and cause someone to take evasive action - either braking or changing direction it's an instant major fault and a fail. This is shown in the highway code section 7.133 "If you need to change lane, first use your mirrors and if necessary take a quick sideways glance to make sure you will not force another road user to change course or speed. When it is safe to do so, signal to indicate your intentions to other road users and when clear, move over." That doesn't mean stick your indicators on and fuck everyone else because I'm moving. I see so many close calls on the motorway because of peoples incorrect assessment that their indicators mean they can do what they like
No 4 is on the A610, coming up out North from Nottm, is it not ¿?
4:35. That was mostly because the overtaking car was at the minimum distance from the car it was overtaking. Stay further back and accelerate BEFORE you pull out. Then you only spend the minimum amount of time on the other side of the road. But this driver didn't do that. They saw the space, pulled out and then accelerated, which is why they nearly had an accident, and a nasty one at that.
Look further ahead, give yourself more room, plan. It's not difficult.
" It's not difficult". Well, it clearly is for an alarming number of people given the quantity of these clips we see on various YT channels.
@@ThePhoenix198 Agreed.
I think that some of the reasons are
People rarely actually think about there driving
People with big engined cars often think that the engine is enough
Most drivers don't look anywhere near far enough ahead, so planning ahead is impossible.
Most UK traffic police recognise that motorcycle riders make significantly better car drivers, I think the reason for that is that motorcyclists tend to look much further ahead and, being more vulnerable, are much more attentive to dangers and road conditions.
I also tend towards the view that far too many drivers view car ownership as a right, not a privilege, but that's just my opinion.
Le gars il commente toute les séquences comme si c'était un judge.
oui cest amusant mdr nous ne sommes pas des enfants
very good
1:28 wait until they hit the Craig’s roundabout in Stirling. No one does that properly
Have to say, in the clip of the silver Peugeot spinning at 2:03, the camer has some good taste in music!
No 5 - NO , that is NOT a multi lane roundabout ; I am very familiar with stand its location at the top of the M9 , between Dunblane and Bridge of Allan, linking as it does to the A9 dual carriageway , as well as a minor road to Doune and the old A9 dual carriageway which goes through Dunblane . The roundabout was previously restricted to 30 or 40 mph , but the signage seems to have been removed ( bad move by whoever responsible ) .
The small red car entered from Dunblane and was clearly trafficating right to continue round ; the fastard in the Golf , most likely came down the A9 from Perth and entered the roundabout far too fast , paying no attention to what was happening in front of him , it was unlikely he was on the roundabout when the Fiat entered so the rule about giving way does not apply ; however the rule about not overtaking through a junction most certainly does apply and the Gold driver entirely at fault for overtaking where unsafe , excess speed which goes to DWDCA and failing to concentrate on his driving .
Where there is only one lane through a roundabout , even if multiple lanes enter and leave , as is the case here , then overtaking is done at your own peril .
2:15 there's actually 2 lanes entering the roundabout but Fiat should have used first exit or lane 1 of second exit because of road markings. GPS 56.170924, -3.969159
Clip No 13 you mention the "fast lane". There is no such thing.
i love the analysis and fair comments and advice. great video!
0:20 nice save 👌
Agree with every point bar one. The collision at 6:30 is not the fault of both parties. When you overtake or manoeuvre between lanes it IS YOUR responsibility to check your mirrors and make sure it’s safe to do so. The car moving lanes was entirely at fault, yes the car in the outside lane was probably driving at the limit in the overtaking lane, at any speed over 40 mph the result would have been the same given the late timing and ignorance of the car moving lanes.
I’m fed up with justifications like the one in the video. How do you know cars speeding in the outside lane aren’t undercover officers who are by the way permitted to travel at speeds in excess of limits and without blue lights? You’re saying I could just pull out on them because “oh he’s going too fast anyway”
Drivers should be taught pro active defensive driving rather than reactive. If the manoeuvring car had bothered to check his mirrors the accident could have been avoided.
The only thing the ‘speeding car’ was at fault for was overtaking while approaching a slip way which is bad driving but not illegal.
Agree yet again the comment by the video poster is wrong.
Although your last comment isn’t entirely accurate. You’re allowed to overtake. It’s advanced driving that recommends you align to a gap in traffic where you think others may swerve.
Speeder - we don’t even know he’s speeding. It maybe a national limit. The other vehicles tell us nothing - often people drive too slow on dual carriageways not knowing the limit.
But ultimately you’re right. This : I’m changing lanes because I’ve indicated is utterly wrong. And often caused by this stupid notion that you have to let merging traffic on, to join an empty lane - you only do this if the road behind/alongside is clear if you want - but ultimately you have priority and the joining traffic has to yield at the dotted line and only swap into the main lanes once clear.
5:57 "I hope cammer showed this footage to the cops ... " Well, you can hope, but every indication was that the cammer was going to drive on by and the nose of the car started to swing right to follow the line of the roundabout. Put it this way: I wouldn't have held my breath waiting for this Samaritan to do the right thing.
But look closely at the end of the clip and you'll see that the BMW driver DOES pull in behind the police car. It's a good bet that the Merc driver was the reckless one some distance/time before the cammer came along and then recorded what we see. Neither of the two drivers were in the right for acting the way they did, though.
