It's not just Bentley drivers,many other drivers of many other car makes have served their Nob apprenticeship and are fully fledged members. And surprisingly enough there's one or two Nobhead motorcyclists about too,unfortunately
When I was training to be an HGV driver many years ago, I was told that you need the idiots in front of you not behind you so you can see what there doing.
@@hudson7354 Please don’t tarnish every hgv driver with the same brush. When I’m travelling at 50mph (the speed limit for hgv’s) on an A road some car, van drivers are that impatient to get past, their the ones who cause havoc. Lost count of how many drivers lives I’ve saved by braking to let them past before they have a head on crash. Just saying.
Many many years ago I learnt a whole series of lessons from a guy in a Porche. I was behind coming off a roundabout, as I was on a newish at the time FZR1000 I pulled out to pass. He lurched out just as I started passing to pass the sierra in front of him. Being a fairly wide road I dodged right but carried on passing him. Being somewhat distracted neither of us spotted the speed trap at the next roundabout. They pulled us both, but decided they only wanted a word with the Porche driver. I escaped scot free from two bad situations that day, learning to pay much more attention to what is happening around me in ALL directions.
@@paulhawkins6415 and I can still beat it to 60mph on my 700cc bike that cost less than 1/20th of the base model Bentayga. 🤣 (I'd have a Continental GT if I won the lottery though 🤣)
Most of the knobs drive BMWs so easy to identify. Bentleys, Range Rovers and Porsche SUV drivers are also in that category. Another stereotype is the mum on on the school run with screaming kids in the back. Driving standards have dropped since covid lockdowns.
I don't believe it's marque specific. More of a market sector which is nob-heavy. Mid-range "satus" saloons/SUVs with a cheap personlised reg, which means nothing to anybody except the owner.
Absolutely terrifying on a public road as well. There doesn’t seem to be any etiquette on the Uk roads anymore. Just got to keep yourself and the bike safe 😊👍
Sure, it's the mindset of the driver. l was followed by a guy in an Aston Martin a couple of days ago. he followed at a respectful distance, wasn't driving like a Boy Racer...He didn't feel the need to prove his car accelerated like 'Shyte off a Hot Shiny Shovel' or had a top speed of 190 MPH....50 MPH more than my Bike by the way..!!
Whilst we are seeing a car driver act like a nob head, I am not saying that the rider was one but at 2.16 we are about to overtake a lorry and there was visibly a nearside junction warning sign some 150 yards before a junction. The biker continued to overtake and passed the lorry and the junction. If there had been a driver waiting to come out from that junction the biker would have been invisible being behind and or to the offside of that lorry and there could have been an accident. Just my observations.
Use your observation skills to see what the rider saw before making the overtake. Looking past the lorry on the nearside there is a clear line of sight across two possible hazards. There are no vehicles or people near the lefthand intersection or near the lay-by. After that the lorry was overtaken very wide to give maximum line of sight for the rider. Many thanks for your comment
Bike riders do tend to hurtle into blind corners. Obstacle avoidance techniques get left at home. Pity any pedestrian negotiating the grass line along these tight country roads.
It's not the vehicle but the driver....in just over sixty years riding I've seen this ...and worse many times. Its not always those driving 'Top End Cars' but any number of other lesser vehicles...Its just that its those few who get all the attention on UA-cam...My only advice is treat 'all' Cagers as possible assassins, and act accordingly...as you did in this particular incident...
Stick everyone who drives a car on a bike for a few months then see how they are behind the wheel. My best times were on 2 wheels but that was yesrs ago before the roads were taken over by muppet drivers
*No* - Some of us realise bikes provide no crash protection. Bike riders and their families need to accept that bravado on their next outing could be their last thrill.
Well he owns a Bentley & obviously thinks he owns the road as do Range Rover Drivers & BMW too, i drive a car but make room for Bikers to pass whenever i can & it's safe.
That is the state of mind of a lot of drivers nowadays. A shame but it does encourage the rest of us to be more observant and diligent Stay safe and thanks for the comment 😎👍

True 👍
@@DereksolGood video, you read the road well, careful rider, stay safe. 🏍️
Best accesory for a biker is common sense. Leave any ego at home.

Wise words 👍
Absolutely spot on. 🚛🏍️
Lorry drivers cause havoc, tailgating is their hobby

My late father told me something similar. The only thing you need to worry about is the vehicle directly in front of you.

Lesson learned.
Great stuff 😎👍
Adventure bikes are the SUVs of the motorcycle world!
Yep. Same audience. BMW cleverly identified the "status leisure" market back in the seventies.
The Bentley clip might be worth sending to Ashley for his channel.
I expect there’s an option in the Bentley that you can buy that constantly repeats’ You can overtake because you are special’ 😂
Actually, it's the six hundred and fifty BHP
@@paulhawkins6415 😂😂good one 👍

Yeah, when I was a lot younger the phrase they drummed into you was “ Drive Courteously”. Seems like a joke now.
Great video
Nice to see someone reading the road and not so nice to see someone showing how not to! Thanks for sharing. Ride safe and enjoy. :>)
Thank you for the comment 👍
Lincolnshire Wolds - my backyard! Maybe see you on the road. Subbed.👍
Great part of the world.
Many thanks 👍

Rich Bentley driver is an entitled knob….. I didn’t expect that……much! 😂
That’s the one with the x-ray vision option!
As a Bentley driver, and a motorcycle rider I can assure you we are not all 'self-important arseholes'....

@@brianperry Absolutely. Ironically my bike is a ZZR1400, but I don't ride that like "my life depends on me getting there yesterday"...

Someone who aspires to own one of the most tasteless vehicles ever built tells you all you need to know.
Decision making is so you can grow old!
There are old bikers, and bold bikers, but no old bold bikers. Fact.
You' haven't heard of Michael Rutter, Bruce Anstey, John McGuinnes?
All's well at Hemswell.
Great advanced rider riding, good defensive riding
Has to be done if you are responsible for a pillion 😎👍

Did you overtake on a junction?
Never 👍
@@Dereksol i think you did
@@Forester16 if that's what your eyes see
Indeed he did.
@@Forester16 Exactly and another further along - very naughty
Would have loved to see the knob in a hedgeback !
Got the nob's number - RB 6422.
Never came back from the dead car crash victim and say I shouldn't have been so stupid
What a nob you say, I think i would use stronger language, Thanks for the video, best rgds Sisaket Thailand
Send the vid to the local plod who ever it was will get a driving course or points .
I'd sooner be in the Bentley

Ah! Ulceby Cross A16 A158 is paved with nutters who think they can drive better than anyone else. 🏍️ ☕️ 🍔
The Bentley driver needs to serve time in a correctional facility
Send the video to Lincolnshire Police SNAP!

I thought peopel buy those SUVS so that they can see over the bonnet and round bend?😅 Money does not buy brain.😅
What a couple of thoughtless Dundee heads, overtaking on blind corners like that. I’m being polite here!
That is the state of mind of a lot of drivers nowadays.
A shame but it does encourage the rest of us to be more observant and diligent
Stay safe and thanks for the comment 😎👍
'Dundee heads'? Autofill, or are you disparaging the citizens of that fine city?
@@JakobusVdL I'm sure the typed words were Dunder Head.
@@Dereksol 'kin autofill. you have to keep an eye on it.
then again, some of those Dundonians.......................lol ;-)
Oh sorry. I didn’t check before posting. Spell check. I actually wrote Dunder heads! 😅😅😅 Archaic, I know, but I’m trying to curb my swearing.
Yawn yawn yawn.
A proper Bentley doesn't look like that.
