@@terry-f2c and funnily enough LDC did it in one video and thought it ok!! The sooner it is made illegal everywhere, the better. I wonder what the definition of London and not London is? LDC lives in Carshalton which is inside the Greater London area.
The biker in the first clip is obviously inexperienced but both cars made the situation much more difficult for him. The first car came off the roundabout in the left lane just a few metres behind and accelerating, so it would have been dangerous for the bike to move left, particularly in wet conditions with spray affecting visibility. Then LDC closed up and once again made it impossible to move left. Both cars should have showed a bit more care and attention for a vulnerable road user in difficult riding conditions.
the biker in the first clip is probably used to having indicators that automatically cancel (as on a car), and has forgotten that most bikes don't do this; not cancelling your indicator is one of the most common causes of failure on bike tests
It's not your imagination. They are too bright, but I believe the government is looking into to legislating against the use of bright LED lamps in headlights.
13:10 got a similar roundabout near me - mini roundabout, two lanes on entry, only room for one car to get around the roundabout effectively forcing you to go over the roundabout. Bonkers road design.
@@johncranna9427 but why have two lanes coming into the roundabout if only room for one car on it? It’s not exactly a busy road, so two lanes serves little purpose. Why ‘force’ staggered formation on people when a single entry lane would solve all the problems (and given the brain-dead way most people drive, it reduces the risk - which is good in my view). The one near me is even worse, it’s left turn from the left lane, straight on from the right lane, and I would say the whole junction is half the size of this one. I’ve had a clip published where I was going straight on, and someone undertook me on the roundabout - and got criticised by one comment for going over the roundabout. If I’d assumed that everyone would stagger, then I’d have injured passengers and a headache of paperwork! Yes, staggered is best, but that relies on everyone else doing the same - don’t think I’ll be staking my house on that happening!
@@huwlewis9059 I totally agree with you!! Seems crazy trying to funnel two lanes into a mini roundabout as it can encourage the loony driving that you encountered.

I had an experience with a self entitled BMW today (14/10/24). Turning left onto A420 after going through Faringdon. I’m on my motorcycle in a queue waiting & an impatient guy goes at a speed past about 6 cars & cuts across to turn left.
Dam Audis are causing havoc everywhere, even this little country town I live and drive in. I applaud you, Tony, for driving for a living, and for not driving at night. My son has to wear special night vision glasses, that dull bright lights. Already a sub of Dascam Hull and can also recommend Westcliff Go Pro, a white van man with a camera and you are similar.
You don't necessarily need to stop or pull over when you hear a siren though and should assess the road conditions when you see the lights. No need to stop or even slow down if they can easily pass you. Last one I encountered locally was a Land Rover with siren and flashing blue light that was a mountain rescue car. Because of the stupid design/placement of traffic islands in the middle of a major road locally, I had to find a junction to pull into so they could get past. It also means we can't safely overtake a cyclist going up hill (downhill they are likely faster than us) because of these stupid things and have to sit there at a slow pace until we can pass. London Dashcam Bingo - Could it include the number of times you swear? 🤣
Tony, as recently based 2020 I was driving normal buses. One regular passenger used to moan if I pulled over , and asked whether police were so special that the could fly through red lights. I mentioned Ambulance and Fire. He was angry there too.
They are allowed dispensation to go through red lights and disobey keep left or right signs, but they still must do so without coming into conflict with other traffic ie thay can't go through at full wack!! Should there be a collision and the emergency vehicle was found at fault, then they get prosecuted.
Here in Copenhagen where I live the council are making roads 40km and they have painted new markings to show the speed but left all the fucking great pot holes from last winter i think they just flip a coin to see if they should repair it .
You can in this country have a trailer registered on its own number plate but you'll know the minute you see one as they use a completely different numbering scheme. It will be one letter followed by seven numbers and it will be on two lines, four characters on each line. You still have to also show the registration number of the towing vehicle. They're rare as you only *need* them if the trailer is travelling internationally and is over 750kg for commercial trailers and 3500kg for non-commercial trailers.
Hi Tony, Another belter of a video 🤣🤣🤣 @10:50 The driver of that white car was using glasses that couldn't see past the bonnet or basically just a shit driver...
Talking of pot holes there a great bit on the very last Grand Tour with Clarkson, Hammond and May driving across Zimbabwe. They are on an unmade road and Hammond is saying that it is marginally better than a British road.
12:20. At a guess the long lines are done from a moving vehicle, the others including the zig-zags need to be done by hand later. [Edit] But that doesn't explain the curved line at the mini roundabout.
I have a hate right now like when I came back from the shops in my van. I couldn't get in my drive straight. Some woman had parked opposite taking up half the road which cuts out part of my turning circle into my driveway. She wasn't visiting the people opposite oh no and she couldn't even use the empty layby no, not even that. Plenty of room up the road out of the way of driveways. Where had she gone? Only two doors down with plenty of space for her to park outside the house she was visiting! Ooh so flipping annoying.
Regarding the point about number plates on trailers. Britain is the exception here. In most countries in Europe trailers have to be registered separately from that of the vehicle pulling them. You will notice this on continental trucks, where the trailer almost always has a different number plate, often not even from the same country. This is so that for international transport , trucks can pull any trailer.
You need to produce a " London Dash Cam CD" , a compilation of tracks and sound bites yuu have used in these videos. Extra car themed tracks could be added as well. My suggestion for extra tracks is " Stick shift " by the duals on Sue label and " little old lady from Pasadena " by the beach boys . You could have a Madness track too , being " driving in my car " as the opening track.
The local councils are stupid, it would have seemed sense to resurface the road then paint the new lines but no they get it arse over head and do it the wrong way. Give it time they'll be back in a few weeks with a bucket of asphalt and hand beaters to fill in the pot holes. Anything to save them money so they can pocket the difference. The councils in this country are useless.
I reckon the foreign car pulling the trailer may have become confused as he was being tailgated by the lorry and for a moment thought the lorry wanted to overtake him on the left. I have driven a lot abroad but still have an occasional confusion.
Regarding the white lines. Obviously you only had the ones who paint the straight lines. It's another gang who paint the diagonal lines, they went to art school.
It's not the same team that paint them, one team does North - South, Another team does East - West and they employ a specialist to do Diagonals.....and dont get me started on the yellow, white and red teams. Union Rules denote separate job decriptions 🤣
I read about the hazard flashing on another channel some time ago. It occasionally works, but I think that slowing down / pulling over - if safe to do so - works better. Always get a bad driver in front of you, as they say.
@@johncranna9427 Thats dangerous...thought you would have known that with your expert driving knowledge. By your actions, you could make the car behind you brake sharply causing an accident. That would be your fault. You should ease off the gas and stop being a fool.
At 5:12 it was quite correct for the car's position as they needed to be a car door's width away from cars parked to their left. Something that you never give any allowance for. What they were doing completely wrong was driving at that speed. So wrong speed, correct position. And as you can see that there are cars parked on both sides, you should be aware of that very situation arising.
@@suziforester If they met head on then that means that Tony was in completely the wrong position. And if there WAS any chance of them.meeting head on then it means there is only room for one car so Tony shouldn't have been going into that space. So well done for showing up Tony's fault with you ignorance.
I would say the speed meant they were in the position they were and if they went slower, as they should be on that road, they would be able to accommodate two way flow better While I understand what you say about positioning outside of the door zone, in this instance it was excessive purely due to the speed and this was right to be highlighted as poor driving, even if it didn’t really delay others too much, it could’ve ended up nasty if a pedestrian walked out into the road
@@thelondondashcam if you really want to know, ask the highway authority. Refurbishing arrows is always difficult because of the need to maintain traffic flow, and it’s not worth arranging formal closures for a task that must be done by hand yet still takes only a few minutes.
9:20 you should not stop on the road for cops on lights... always keep momentum and don't put the onus on other drivers to estimate the rate you are slowing, we ALL estimate the point we meet other cars, the cop MUST do that too and you stopping as you did is WRONG as it messes with everyone's perceptions... except yours. The cop needs the traffic to behave smoothly and not erratically as you did... and then he must jink in between the vehicles with them not doing stupid sheee-ittt
@@smilerbob I felt the car oncoming to LDC drove better than LDC as they allowed the police car to move around all the cars. What if he also decided to stop and stopped close to LDC, then the police car would have been blocked in. Better to carry on and clear LDC.
I’d just have pulled well to the left and kept going. Anything else is likely to be hard for the police to predict. If people coming the other way do the same the police usually can go relatively fast down the middle of the road, safe enough with the blues and twos on.
22:53 A Range Rover did that to me at exactly that same place about a week-and-a-half-ago. It wouldn't surprise me if it was the same idiot. Bad driving, plain and simple.
I think he will be turning right further up the road (in a mile or two) and is just getting into the correct lane for that. I’ve seen this so many times recently.
i hate driving at night between what you said and every light beemed up to 100 blinding me it's a nightmare. also im cutious what's the prize you're veiwers said they give themselves for BINGO. could be the folks in that home you went too
Councils cannot afford to resurface roads. There are vehicles that spray white lines on the road but only continuous or intermittent straight lines. The other lines have to be done manually. In the next week or so you will see the remainder of lines, arrows etc. completed.
As for the scooter rider in your first clip, I would suspect that's a very new rider (go book a CBT if you want to know what that's like) which is why he didn't get in the left lane, especially when two cars came from his left and went straight into the left lane. If someone comes from the right at a roundabout and sees people joining from the left, they will often go into the right-hand lane and then be unable to pull left because there are too many people passing on the left. It happened to me once, joining the A316 near Twickenham, and a cop pulled me over for driving too slow in the right-hand lane. I would have pulled over as soon as people stopped overtaking.
I agree as both biker and driver. Also it was a very wet surface, much more of a problem for a new rider than a cabbie, who did not help by giving the rider time to pull into lane 1.
In the area where i live it is VW golf then Audi then BMW then mercedes, in that order, Kias are mostly older people who drive rather sedately leaving mayhem in their wake, totally oblivious to what is going on around them. i am from Dewsbury west Yorkshire, by the way i am an old fart who drives a WAV.
You do know that LDC drives a Kia? 😂 😂 I am also of the older generation (in my early sixties) 😂👍 Another great set of clips Tony! Always look forward to watching them with the hubby 😊👍
The Folkestone run was my weekly, as I was stationed there and drove home when I could to Medway and there are some real sh*t drivers that use the road, usually the better drivers where the foreign ones, but I suppose the best way to blend in is to act like a local, but Lane Discipline being the least of your worries. Just goes to show how complacent people are when they drive and or operate their shopping trolley.
In The Netherlands all trailers, caravans etc exceeding 750 kg ( 118 stone or 1653 lb) totall weight must have it’s own license plate, a yellow one with black letters and digits and a blue bit on the left with the country in it. If it’s under the totall weight of 750 kg it gets the same license plate as the towing vehicle but then it’s a white plate with black letters and digits. If you ever encounter a car from The Netherlands with a blue license plate it’s a taxi driver!
@@suziforester I had a reply to comment ( I don't even know what I'd put originally ) from AW which appeared to a string of random English words, alternating with the word "stop". I think he was trying to be funny, pretending it was a telegram, but it made no sense whatsoever.
21:30 , no no the trailer doesn't have to have the same plate as the tow vehicle it can be for another vehicle as long as it's taxed and insured (UK based vehicles)
No, the trailer must display the registration of the vehicle towing it - The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001 reg 5(2) and reg 7(2).
Did you have to make your own tea after the Duracell joke 🤔🤣. Another great video mate, spatial awareness is impossible for some drivers because they are probably "Spaced Out" anyway. 😉.
Most European countries have the rule that all trailers have their own number, some even demand that the towing vehicles plate is also being fitted to the trailer
You can really tell how bad councils are at this time of year. The huge amount of flooded roads due to the heavy rain and all the sewers clogged with fallen leaves. I pity the poor pedestrians that take their lives in their hands just trying to cross a road without getting soaked. Ooh your wife is going to give you some stick when she watches this post. I hope you like sleeping in your car! 🤣🤣
And both drivers came in from his left (the road down from Sutton) as he joined the Mad Mile from Cheam. Probably a very new rider, on a dual carriageway, in heavy rain. Just pass him on the left and forget about it.
@@IndigoJoNo, back off and give the poor bugger a chance to get across to the left, then overtake him on the right like you’re meant to. What is the matter with you people?
@@Tailspin80 The bike was never going to move over to the left, he probably turned right at the next junction. People do it all the time on that section
@@Bushkin84 Agreed, but that’s not the point. Even if he had been riding properly he was never given a safe opportunity to get over to the left, and undertaking is against the Highway Code except in certain situations. This wasn’t one of them. I’m surprised that LDC didn’t appear to see all this but I think other road users are often just viewed as an irritating obstruction of lower status to him, a “professional driver”.
@@Tailspin80 As long as you do not change lanes to do it, and the lane you are in is faster moving then it is perfectly legal and is not undertaking, if you do change lanes to do it then it is undertaking, LDC did not change lanes so it is not undertaking.
You do need to do some research on where the money comes from and who is in charge of the money to do road repairs in London, I'll give you a little bit of a clue it's not the Tories.
So would I. People say "oh well the cars have got so much better brakes nowadays" but that does not mean your reaction time is better and it just gives you a lot more time to react and less likelihood of skidding or aquaplaning.
Again, not the fault of the road workers themselves. They just paint what they are told to. It is their LA road management team you need to blame. The bulge by the kerb though on the mini roundabout was a complete waster of time. I would just go straight over it. Served no useful purpose at all.
So, by your logic, the road management team are not workers, they don't work, they are not part of the british work force ? Your expertise prevails and we are all so grateful for that.....you KN@B HEAD
Just had the unfortunate, occasion to have to hire a vehicle from ,,,enterprise,,,, what a shambles, two illegal vehicles, everybody I spoke to about it was justincompetent.
Have a thought for the British workers, though; it is possible that they are doing *exactly* what they have been told to do, after numerous times when they have pointed out the obvious, only to have their supervisor jump down their throats on it.
I cant wait until I get a dash can that works, Halfords have fitted 2 to my main car, and all I get is 30 seconds of a 3 hour drive, and the rest my Mac or PC cant read, what are they on, I dont do refunds I just buy again this is the last chance
I bought my dashcam from halfords and if you phone their helpline, they are really good. They even gave me a replacement cable for my rear camera free of charge. I asked if I could buy one because the dog chewed it but they gave me it without hesitation.
What make of dashcam are you using? I had a similar problem when I bought my first dashcam (one of the "cheaper" models) - can't even remember what make it was, it was so awful, but anyway. . . I eventually upgraded to Garmin & although it was a bit more expensive, the quality of the footage & easily download saved clips etc, it's way much better. (That's my opinion anyway) 😊👍
@@DriveSmartDash Hi. I am using their own brand HDC300 which they no longer sell. I have had it a few years now. Pity, because I would buy the same one again if this one fails.
@jimwhippet3697 ah ok, hope you get it sorted ok - could it maybe also depend on the size of sd card you have that you're only getting 30 seconds? I think mine has a 128gb sd card & that stores loads of clips. Good luck with it though 😀👍
Love the British workforce segments but I think you are forgetting the ones that schedule and dictate what's being done by them. Plenty of morons in the workforce, but I've never seen a moron-less British management! And where do these big ideas and lack of efficiency come from always a British boss.
You may only proceed beyond a red light if directed to by an officer in uniform (Please don’t watch a video that Ashley Neal published last week about temporary lights…some dodgy driver went through a red light 😉)
Emergency drivers who know their stuff and approach a red light with a queue of traffic ahead, turn their sirens off and maybe keep blues lights on but they don't want the sirens on to panic you into going over stop line by a red light.
Its common sense. In all cases ive seen of traffic at lights in red is that both lanes move to the edge of the road to open the middle for the emergency vehicle to go through. If you can do this safely then do so. Ive seen some people ride behind these vehicles to cut traffic off even running lights (that would be illegal).
@lambosnicko Yes, I agree but if you are the head of queue at traffic lights and up against the stop line then you can't move at all. This just goes to show that you must always give space to the car ahead when you stop so that you have manoeuvre room.
The title said 60 mph road. That means any speed up to 60 mph, but slower than 60 mph if conditions make it too fast. The scooter was driving at a safer speed but in the wrong lane. Therefore, the title was totally misleading.
Unfortunately because of poor road layout there are some mini roundabouts where you can't avoid driving over the circle, but you're supposed at least to make an effort to go round! By the way, what language are you speaking when you say "your side and my side of the road"? It's ALL mine!
Well actually I think LDC has got this all wrong saying my side and your side. There is no side - there is just road and you can use any part that you want as long as you don't come into conflict with other road users.
@@johncranna9427 Any reasonable person knows what "My side of the road" et al means and wouldn't quibble about it, let alone say that someone was 'wrong' to use the phraseology; especially on the back of a joke about it being "ALL mine". :smh:
@ianmason. I have no idea at all what you're going on about! I made no reference to the original comment. I just used it to mention that Tony has this awful territorial attitude to anyone that encroaches on his side of the road, be it a vehicle, a cycle or a pedestrian. Separately I've said that the approaching car was quite correct in their position as they needed to be a car door's width away from the parked cars but their speed was all wrong.
@@johncranna9427 You've "no idea what [I'm] going on about"? Really? To conclude a comment for a second time today with a bit of Shakespeare: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
21:41 Talking of dodgy number plates. How often do you see illegal UK number plates? I see at least one a week I reckon. I was behind an incredible one the other day with a crazy font where you couldn’t tell what the letter was supposed to be, a 7 or a T. Do these people not encounter police cars? Is what I always think.
Most of the time the police can only issue a “Notice to fix” meaning the owner has a set period of time (either 7 or 14 days) to get the number plate fixed and it is reported to DVSA. Very rarely to DVSA take action and the owner simply puts correct number pltes on, takes it to the local police station, they confirm the plates are good and the notice to get fixed is signed off as complete. Put the dodgy plates back on and repeat in a few weeks The law needs to be changed so after a set number of plate violations the offence is raised beyond the current limit of almost no enforcement
Two points to make - the police car coming up behind you at 9:30. I don't think it was the best idea to slow down and stop since you had nowhere to pull into. You also had traffic coming towards you so you could have impeded the swift movement of the police car. What if the car coming towards you had also decided to slow down and stop?? And they stopped close to you - the police car would have been stuffed. The car coming towards you had no idea what you would do or where you would stop. Better for him to go past you, slow down and allow the police car to fit around you all which is what they did. Secondly the lorry at 23:50 may have chosen the wrong lane to be in initially, but he was unable to get back into lane 1 as it was full of traffic. Although he was only just a bit faster overtaking, it only took him about 40 seconds to overtake the traffic and get back to lane 1 which is what he did. That was hardly a very long wait.
@@johncranna9427 The driver of the lorry was also going faster than the traffic in lane 2, contrary to the commentary. If poor road management is to be directed at anyone the the driver of the van at the front in lane 1 is the prime candidate but that would be extremely unfair as we do not know if that van was limited itself. Some can be limited to a slower speed than HGVs This is a simple case of a lorry driver overtaking, using both lanes and someone not affected by it getting narked. Only last week I had many lorries overtaking each other on a two lane road, it happens, I get on with it. Combined with roundabouts, red lights and waiting to turn right at junctions further on my journey I was “held up” for a grand total of 0 seconds
"could have" "what if" What actually happened? Not a lot, the police car got on its way reasonably quickly and could have got through even faster of the oncoming car had backed off for a few seconds. If you're making up hypotheticals just so you can yet again throw arbitrary criticism at Tony then it makes your real intent very clear.
@ianmason. Well firstly I'm not the only person to criticise what Tony did and secondly you missed my point that the white car had no idea what Tony was going to do and if they backed off as well could have blocked the police more.
@@ianmason. Agreed...making the comment fit your purpose (saying LDC is wrong) does not make you right. A few on here constantly do it. Cranna even knew what the driver of the white car was thinking...he's amazing.

You don't necessarily need to stop or pull over when you hear a siren though and should assess the road conditions when you see the lights. No need to stop or even slow down if they can easily pass you. Last one I encountered locally was a Land Rover with siren and flashing blue light that was a mountain rescue car. Because of the stupid design/placement of traffic islands in the middle of a major road locally, I had to find a junction to pull into so they could get past. It also means we can't safely overtake a cyclist going up hill (downhill they are likely faster than us) because of these stupid things and have to sit there at a slow pace until we can pass.

One regular passenger used to moan if I pulled over , and asked whether police were so special that the could fly through red lights. I mentioned Ambulance and Fire. He was angry there too.
They are allowed dispensation to go through red lights and disobey keep left or right signs, but they still must do so without coming into conflict with other traffic ie thay can't go through at full wack!! Should there be a collision and the emergency vehicle was found at fault, then they get prosecuted.
Here in Copenhagen where I live the council are making roads 40km and they have painted new markings to show the speed but left all the fucking great pot holes from last winter i think they just flip a coin to see if they should repair it .
When I was in Copenhagen - many years ago - I couldn't find a Danish pastry for love nor money.

You can in this country have a trailer registered on its own number plate but you'll know the minute you see one as they use a completely different numbering scheme. It will be one letter followed by seven numbers and it will be on two lines, four characters on each line. You still have to also show the registration number of the towing vehicle. They're rare as you only *need* them if the trailer is travelling internationally and is over 750kg for commercial trailers and 3500kg for non-commercial trailers.
Hi Tony,
Another belter of a video 🤣🤣🤣
@10:50 The driver of that white car was using glasses that couldn't see past the bonnet or basically just a shit driver...
Talking of pot holes there a great bit on the very last Grand Tour with Clarkson, Hammond and May driving across Zimbabwe. They are on an unmade road and Hammond is saying that it is marginally better than a British road.
I take it that if your missus has watched this episode, you'd be cooking your own tea.
4:11 I'm dropping someone of to the retirement home I might pop in myself killed me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
12:20. At a guess the long lines are done from a moving vehicle, the others including the zig-zags need to be done by hand later.
[Edit] But that doesn't explain the curved line at the mini roundabout.
I have a hate right now like when I came back from the shops in my van. I couldn't get in my drive straight.
Some woman had parked opposite taking up half the road which cuts out part of my turning circle into my driveway.
She wasn't visiting the people opposite oh no and she couldn't even use the empty layby no, not even that. Plenty of room up the road out of the way of driveways.
Where had she gone?
Only two doors down with plenty of space for her to park outside the house she was visiting!
Ooh so flipping annoying.

In Europe towed items have separate registration numbers, it's taxed for road use.
Regarding the point about number plates on trailers. Britain is the exception here. In most countries in Europe trailers have to be registered separately from that of the vehicle pulling them. You will notice this on continental trucks, where the trailer almost always has a different number plate, often not even from the same country. This is so that for international transport , trucks can pull any trailer.
You need to produce a " London Dash Cam CD" , a compilation of tracks and sound bites yuu have used in these videos. Extra car themed tracks could be added as well. My suggestion for extra tracks is " Stick shift " by the duals on Sue label and " little old lady from Pasadena " by the beach boys . You could have a Madness track too , being " driving in my car " as the opening track.
'Tonight' by the Cars an obvious choice.

At 5:12 it was quite correct for the car's position as they needed to be a car door's width away from cars parked to their left. Something that you never give any allowance for. What they were doing completely wrong was driving at that speed. So wrong speed, correct position. And as you can see that there are cars parked on both sides, you should be aware of that very situation arising.
Of course it doesn't matter if they hit cars going in the opposite direction head on...that's just life...or death maybe
@@suziforester If they met head on then that means that Tony was in completely the wrong position.

Outstanding as usual john. You D!ckhead
I would say the speed meant they were in the position they were and if they went slower, as they should be on that road, they would be able to accommodate two way flow better
While I understand what you say about positioning outside of the door zone, in this instance it was excessive purely due to the speed and this was right to be highlighted as poor driving, even if it didn’t really delay others too much, it could’ve ended up nasty if a pedestrian walked out into the road

In Australia, its slow to 40kmph and move out of the way if possible.
I’d just have pulled well to the left and kept going. Anything else is likely to be hard for the police to predict. If people coming the other way do the same the police usually can go relatively fast down the middle of the road, safe enough with the blues and twos on.

Councils cannot afford to resurface roads. There are vehicles that spray white lines on the road but only continuous or intermittent straight lines. The other lines have to be done manually. In the next week or so you will see the remainder of lines, arrows etc. completed.

You missed one⬆️ @andrewwhite AKA @terry-f2c
As for the scooter rider in your first clip, I would suspect that's a very new rider (go book a CBT if you want to know what that's like) which is why he didn't get in the left lane, especially when two cars came from his left and went straight into the left lane. If someone comes from the right at a roundabout and sees people joining from the left, they will often go into the right-hand lane and then be unable to pull left because there are too many people passing on the left. It happened to me once, joining the A316 near Twickenham, and a cop pulled me over for driving too slow in the right-hand lane. I would have pulled over as soon as people stopped overtaking.
I agree as both biker and driver. Also it was a very wet surface, much more of a problem for a new rider than a cabbie, who did not help by giving the rider time to pull into lane 1.

In The Netherlands all trailers, caravans etc exceeding 750 kg ( 118 stone or 1653 lb) totall weight must have it’s own license plate, a yellow one with black letters and digits and a blue bit on the left with the country in it. If it’s under the totall weight of 750 kg it gets the same license plate as the towing vehicle but then it’s a white plate with black letters and digits. If you ever encounter a car from The Netherlands with a blue license plate it’s a taxi driver!

Plenty of morons in the workforce, but I've never seen a moron-less British management! And where do these big ideas and lack of efficiency come from always a British boss.
I’ve seen drivers go through red lights while waiting at lights to let ambulances and fire trucks past, is that allowed? Cos I’ve been told it’s not.
It is NOT allowed and you can get a ticket.
You may only proceed beyond a red light if directed to by an officer in uniform
(Please don’t watch a video that Ashley Neal published last week about temporary lights…some dodgy driver went through a red light 😉)
Emergency drivers who know their stuff and approach a red light with a queue of traffic ahead, turn their sirens off and maybe keep blues lights on but they don't want the sirens on to panic you into going over stop line by a red light.
Its common sense. In all cases ive seen of traffic at lights in red is that both lanes move to the edge of the road to open the middle for the emergency vehicle to go through. If you can do this safely then do so. Ive seen some people ride behind these vehicles to cut traffic off even running lights (that would be illegal).
@lambosnicko Yes, I agree but if you are the head of queue at traffic lights and up against the stop line then you can't move at all. This just goes to show that you must always give space to the car ahead when you stop so that you have manoeuvre room.
The title said 60 mph road. That means any speed up to 60 mph, but slower than 60 mph if conditions make it too fast. The scooter was driving at a safer speed but in the wrong lane. Therefore, the title was totally misleading.
Unfortunately because of poor road layout there are some mini roundabouts where you can't avoid driving over the circle, but you're supposed at least to make an effort to go round!
By the way, what language are you speaking when you say "your side and my side of the road"? It's ALL mine!
Well actually I think LDC has got this all wrong saying my side and your side. There is no side - there is just road and you can use any part that you want as long as you don't come into conflict with other road users.

I was behind an incredible one the other day with a crazy font where you couldn’t tell what the letter was supposed to be, a 7 or a T. Do these people not encounter police cars? Is what I always think.
Most of the time the police can only issue a “Notice to fix” meaning the owner has a set period of time (either 7 or 14 days) to get the number plate fixed and it is reported to DVSA. Very rarely to DVSA take action and the owner simply puts correct number pltes on, takes it to the local police station, they confirm the plates are good and the notice to get fixed is signed off as complete. Put the dodgy plates back on and repeat in a few weeks

Two points to make - the police car coming up behind you at 9:30. I don't think it was the best idea to slow down and stop since you had nowhere to pull into. You also had traffic coming towards you so you could have impeded the swift movement of the police car. What if the car coming towards you had also decided to slow down and stop?? And they stopped close to you - the police car would have been stuffed. The car coming towards you had no idea what you would do or where you would stop. Better for him to go past you, slow down and allow the police car to fit around you all which is what they did.
Secondly the lorry at 23:50 may have chosen the wrong lane to be in initially, but he was unable to get back into lane 1 as it was full of traffic. Although he was only just a bit faster overtaking, it only took him about 40 seconds to overtake the traffic and get back to lane 1 which is what he did. That was hardly a very long wait.
@@johncranna9427 The driver of the lorry was also going faster than the traffic in lane 2, contrary to the commentary. If poor road management is to be directed at anyone the the driver of the van at the front in lane 1 is the prime candidate but that would be extremely unfair as we do not know if that van was limited itself. Some can be limited to a slower speed than HGVs
This is a simple case of a lorry driver overtaking, using both lanes and someone not affected by it getting narked.
Only last week I had many lorries overtaking each other on a two lane road, it happens, I get on with it. Combined with roundabouts, red lights and waiting to turn right at junctions further on my journey I was “held up” for a grand total of 0 seconds
"could have" "what if" What actually happened? Not a lot, the police car got on its way reasonably quickly and could have got through even faster of the oncoming car had backed off for a few seconds.
