I hope the number was actually 800 BY. But it would not be the first time I have seen a totally illegal number plate. About 13 yrs ago there was a car displaying a mumber plate of R00KEY. When I got close to this vehicle, I could see it was a totally illegal number plate, ther were no minor obliterations, the plate was printed R00 KEY. A few months later I saw the same vehicle, but this time the number plate had been replaced with the legal one R30 KEY.
Hi Tony, Yet another classic video (as always),@15:00 as an ex-taxi driver, apparently and please don't quote me on this, but professional drivers are supposed to know where roadworks are without signage being used 🤔🤔🤔
Scilly Isles roundabout. Legend has it that this was one of the first multi island roundabouts in Britain. Everyone thought it was silly, including locals who worked at the Ordnance Survey headquarters just up the road in Chessington. So it got put on the map as 'Silly Isles' but a supervisor thought this was a speling mitsake so it got put on the map as 'Scilly Isles'.
I used to swing wide on junctions but I was towing a 45' trailer with 20+ tons of bales on it and driving a tractor. When I got back in my Ford Fiesta I didn't swing wide on junctions because there's no need to in a car regardless of whether it's an estate car or a "toy" car!!
Glad to see that other drivers are still misreading or ignoring the Scilly Isles road markings some twenty years on from when I used to regularly take the same path you did.
I drive that route almost daily and have done for almost 30yrs the amount of drivers that do it then have the gall to get irate at you for them being in the wrong is unbelievable.
You drive through some really beautiful countryside. That road where the car reversed out in front of you had some stunning properties. Definitely lottery win money worthy! 😊
14:20 In Germany it aint better. Almost same light setup as yours. We had a clip on some dashcam channel where someone crashed into a truck, an excavator or some mixture of both with like 80km/h where 100 where allowed. Ouch! Nothing before even if they have to put something up like at least 100m before.
In fairness Tony, the driver might of known the middle lane becomes the inside lane for the A3 in a few hundred yards and he decided to stay out there for that reason. The inside lane becomes the slip road for the Ace of Spades roundabout. Still does not justify his slow entry/merge onto the A3 from the Toby Jug roundabout.
Just come back from a weekend in Stevenage, All of that crap on the M25 and more on the drive to on Friday (left near bognor at 12.00 got there at 16.00 quicker on the way back this morning) Had a lorry trying to bully his way in between me and the car in front, and I couldn't move over to the left until a clued up driver to my left moved over for me.
I am one who HAS pointed out to you that a worforce act mainly under the direction of their supervisors. But the incident with the drain cleaner just after the sharp bend is terrible. They should know the risks of a rolling roadwork like that and have signs ahead that they move as they go along. You were correct to go under limit due to sun and bend - my dad always said 'imagine a brick wall across the road around the next corner, can you stop in time?' The first signage should have been placed at 14:05, the 1st sight you had was at 14:10.
This swinging out to the right to turn left business.......i saw a driving instructor in a very small car car do that yesterday. Also, i was talking to a lad who learned to drive 8 years ago and he was instructed to drive over mini roundabouts!!!!!
When you are joining a carriageway you have to give way to traffic already there, which means not forcing them to brake or switch lanes. You have to give way even if it means coming to a stop! Joining a carriageway and immediately swapping lanes without first getting settled at the right speed is just reckless.
yes these work much more effectively than the automated temporary lights we now have, anything to ack someone from a worthwhile job, but that's the local authorities for ya in this country! great comment sir.
Or could just be getting a better angle to turn into a tight gap. My guess is he used to clip the corner of the curbs, scratched his wheels, and is now overcompensating.
12:55 I think I've only seen workman doing something on the road once in my lifetime. The rest of it is just cones out with bits of road closed off but no workers.
Vol 356 at precisely 06:38 the driver of the Ford SUV can proceed on to the roundabout because there is no traffic on the roundabout to give priority to. Plus, the right turning Nissan has provided a "shield" as described by the driving instructor on "Conquering Driving" UA-cam channel. I suggest the driver of the Kia needs to adopt the last line of Rule 184, and approach a roundabout at at more cautious and considerate speed.
In a 50mph section today with average speed cameras, mini had been following me for a fair distance and it suddenly pulls out. Check my speed exactly 50, thought maybe they are local and know that section does not work? But no they just sit there on the opposite side of the road and make zero attempt to overtake. And they sit there right up to the point a car came towards them with his horn going. The road does split into 2 lanes but not for another mile.
14:04 I noticed you moved left there before reaching the apex of the bend. An advanced driving technique is to keep as far right as possible, close to the centre line, until you have visibility of the exit of the bend. It increases the vanishing point and would have enabled you to see the obstruction sooner. If you had stopped behind the road works, you wouldn't have caused that oncoming driver to brake.
Can you imagine what would have happened if the oncoming driver was passing the cyclists at that exact point in the road? There would have been terrible consequences!!
@@xo2quilt Perhaps that is why Rule 126 says "Drive at a speed that will allow you to stop well within the distance you can see to be clear" and Rule 237 says "If you are dazzled by bright sunlight, slow down and if necessary, stop."
@@AndrewWhite-fu7bn maybe try completing advanced driver training before commenting. Hugging the inside kerb on a left hand bend is poor driving technique and can be dangerous.
@@AndrewWhite-fu7bn if you had experience, you would know you hug the kerb on a right hand bend and the centre line on a left hand bend. oncoming advanced drivers would not both be hugging the centre line.
That swing out for the junctions is so they don't have to slow down, bugger everybody else on the road. The Lane Changers, I think they used to call those weaver birds in the old "Public Information Films"
@@johncranna9427 It's the exact same reason they cut corners when turning right. It's lazy and potentially dangerous driving, you can't do a right or left angle turn at speed. So instead of slowing down and dropping a gear or two they pull this stunt, with absolutely no regard for the situation in the road they're barging into. On this occasion it didn't affect Tony, but you must have seen the amount of times He has had to take evasive action to avoid incoming traffic.
Back in the day, Volvo drivers were staid and sensible people who valued a quality vehicle that was capable of doing almost any task, many used for towing caravans and / or horse boxes....none of them ever drove it like that. Granted, even then, those old trundlebuses could shift if they had to. But what was going on in that prick's mind is as much of a mystery to me as it was you. Once again, thank you for a great video, hope you have a great weekend, Richard from Worthing 👍👍😎👌
Tony. At 14:14, how many times do you have to be told mate? That was an emergency crew clearing the drain to gather a lorry full of sh!t to make the next batch of self entitlement wax. Simples.
The reason the red Picanto in clip 1 headed straight for the middle lane is because the left lane goes off to the Leatherhead road in barely a mile, as I'm sure you know. I live near there.
@@johncranna9427 That's what everyone does on that stretch who knows what's coming: they get in lane as soon as possible or while still in the Tolworth underpass. Not even sure it's a mile to be honest.
@@IndigoJo We have a similar road configuration on my patch when drivers get into the right hand lane 'too early'. It is only when you get to the junction that you realise that is the correct decision.
Trouble is at 10:20 it’s the other drivers in the outside lane that don’t keep up with the traffic. They’re either on the phone or having a Kip. I don’t blame drivers like the guy in the van undertaking them.
[0:32] "And then he does this!" There's no "and then". He signalled right and moved to the right without at any time straightening up for the left-hand lane before continuing into the middle lane. It was one continuous action. YOU should have realised he was moving across to the middle lane as I did when watching the clip for the first time. This does not mean that he entered the slip road correctly, because he didn't. He was too slow and should never have continued into the middle lane without at least picking up speed. BUT, it was ONE continuous and obvious action. You only get ONE moan for that one I'm afraid Tony. Don't pad out your gripes. 😂
That's not the fault of the police. They get less money than they ever did and have to make cuts hence you get fewer police able to enforce road traffic offences. Blame successive previous governments, not the police.
@@johncranna9427 Yes, the police come in for a good ear bashing on dash cam videos. Most of it for a lack of understanding about what police can do when patrolling our highways.
This week I received a complaint about a small tour bus blocking someones view exiting their driveway. I visited the location, found the bus legally parked, and approximately 6 metres from the driveway. I emailed the complaint identifying that there was no offence being committed. They complained again saying that they couldn't see around the bus when reversing out. I responded with the relevant legislation as to distance from a usable vehicle entrance and the legislation detailing reversing into a driveway. Again they were not happy with the outcome and escalated to my manager, who had to call and explain, and they still weren't satisfied.
A25 Dorking to Reigate clip - definitely an RTC just waiting to happen. Criticism is very well deserved there. As for the rest..... I do enjoy a good roast 🤣🤣🤣
The work force must of been council workers as they can do just what they like, if anyone else done that they would incur a heavy fine from the council.
I'm sure there is a % out there that somehow are under the impression that lane 1 is for HGV's and lane 2 is the driving lane. And we all know that when people cycle, they only use the rules that benefit them. I wonder how many of those that cycle a lot, then run red lights when driving as it becomes the norm.
Regarding your point about the British Workforce Tony, I think what they did there was dangerous. As you said, you were going slower than the speed limit and didn’t see them until the last minute. So imagine if an Audi, Merc or BMW went flying round that corner, would they see them? No.
@0:32 - you know those lane hogging types as soon as you see them, I bet he did not look at you once as you passed him, completely oblivious to other road users. these are the real dangerous drivers, I be he lets people in from side roads on open roads too.... ha ha
There was one video a while back where you used the horn in frustration ie incorrectly and the very next videos there were two instances where you could easily use your horn to warn other cars but you didn't. I also think it is very poor and lazy practice to reverse onto a road, but at 4:36 was the perfect opportunity to use your horn correctly as the driver could not see you but you could see them!
@alanclarke4646 I presume the 'someone' is me!! How do you know that I don't like LDC's channel? Pure inventive guesswork on your part. When LDC gets something wrong, as in not using his horn where it would be useful, I get criticised by you and that immature whinger Suzi. You don't even come up with any counter argument at all. I actually like LDC's channel as it's well put together, entertaining and 80% of his driving and criticism of others is fine. It's just on mist videos he comes up with a bit of a howler and this was one.
I have given up driving as i cant cope with the amount of ridiculous drivers on the road , i now have issues as a pedestrian,2 incidents with the same woman/man😂 going through red light then blocking the crossing at the lights ,when i say anything i get the abuse ,like oh you again 😂yeh me again standing up for myself and you yet again not abiding to the law ,well i never get a grip people, accept responsibility for been an arshole
The can blocking the view of the lorry with the sign on was probably his safety net , it's a shame he was round the bend in the road creating a danger to himself and everyone else on the road, I would have reported it immediately to the police 🤐
If you see footage from Russia, their roadworks are organised just like your local "workforce". Your footage must be relatively easy to compile as you seem to have an over abundance of numpties in sarf London. Unless of course they're all over London...
The reason people hog the middle lane is it's easier to drive that way. Less lane changing/they lack confidence and it makes everyone else do all the work for them.
When I am on a trip and going through a city, I will move to the lane to my left - I'm usually found in the right lane because I drive the speed limit here in the USA - just so I don't have to deal with people getting on and off the freeway (motorway). As soon as I'm out of the city, back to the right lane.
That point has been made before and it is a relevant reason for lane hogging. Many drivers dislike motorways so it's 'Get in that middle lane, stay and do not move'.
@@AndrewWhite-fu7bn When I'm not in the slow lane, I will keep up with traffic, so as to not be the clot that screws up traffic. Even the police I have asked about following the speed limit or keeping with the flow of traffic have told me to keep with the flow of traffic, regardless of the speed limit.
I have to admit now live bought the last generation Audi rs5, love it. but honestly Tony my indicators work, my brakes work and I drive defensibly I just love the car I live in the highlands im English but you lot cant drive up here, the only one I would trust is you
I don't know the law but I live 2 miles from a motorway and use it all the time. 99.9% move to middle lane when they see a car on the slip road as I will do .I curse to hell and beyond those that stubbornly wontso I've got to brake and slot in behind given that one moved over .You do not want to be braking coming onto a motorway with cars hurling at you
But braking and slowly down or speeding up is exactly what you should be doing on a slip road, it's your responsibility to fit onto the motorway without making people already on the motorway change lanes slow or speed up.
I hate these cars that lane change. They dont get anywhere quicker and youll always have lanes going at different speeds but averaged out you all go at the same speed. But why did YOU change lanes at 8:17, you did the very thing that you hauled up the Volvo for!!
Because we are coming up to the A3 turn off and I'm always either in the middle lane or outside lane because of people leaving it too late to go from lane one into the slip road.
@thelondondashcam Ah, I see. I don't always agree with you doing that but I do see on many videos that people leaving it till the last minute to get onto A3 slip road causes a significant backward ripple so I do understand you doing that. And I presume just the one lane change unlike the Volvo that was continuously changing lanes.
Not got any better down there since I moved away (not that its much better up here). I'm sure if you buy some piece of German engineering you must be awarded a pack of "get out of jail free" cards.
perhaps a new category: the self entitled road worker vehicle, I mean like the hazard lights on any German car, the flashing orange lights give you all kinds of self importance and inability to be considerate or use any common sense...at all
At 17:20 You ended the video at the point the cyclist was approaching the next red light, did he stop at that one too? Many cyclists (as shown in many of you previous clips) proceed immediately before the lights change to green for their own safety, as this avoids the arsehole drivers who are competing for lanes, oblivious to the safety of vulnerable road users. This is is why many traffic light junctions have advanced stop boxes for cyclists. The reason why you may see many cyclists do this on you manner, maybe because there are too many Audi drivers where you live🤔
0:20 the highway code is a bit lacking when it comes to slip roads on dual-carriageways. Those are not give way lines. It is generally the case you yield to traffic in the road you are going to join (such as yielding to traffic already on the circular carriageway of a roundabout before you join it) and traffic already in a side road before you turn into it, but it's not actually specifically illegal like it would be for Give Way and Stop line markings. So we have two 'should' instructions competing. The general advice that you 'should' anticipate what other drivers will do and always avoid a collision if you can. Along with the 'should' give priority to vehicles already on the road you wish to join. It's very poor driving to not anticipate that a vehicle emerging on a slip road might wish to join the main road, where else are they going to go?! It's particularly poor driving if there is a clear lane to your right which you could move into, how many lanes do you need???!
It's the responsibility of the person joining to adjust their speed to match. NOT the responsibility of person already on the highway to allow a joiner in.
@@alanclarke4646 wrong attitude and, well, just wrong full stop. I refer you to the first bit of the highway code; the underlying principle if you will: “The rules in The Highway Code do not give you the right of way in any circumstance, but they advise you when you should give way to others. Always give way if it can help to avoid an incident.”
@@JaapVanderHorst I understand your implication but most of the drivers I am talking about are not tourists. Other sovereign countries can do as they please, not for me to say. Being licensed to drive in Florida, India, Ghana, or Romania doesn't mean you are able to drive safely in the UK or Nederland.

And we all know that when people cycle, they only use the rules that benefit them. I wonder how many of those that cycle a lot, then run red lights when driving as it becomes the norm.
Regarding your point about the British Workforce Tony, I think what they did there was dangerous. As you said, you were going slower than the speed limit and didn’t see them until the last minute. So imagine if an Audi, Merc or BMW went flying round that corner, would they see them? No.
@0:32 - you know those lane hogging types as soon as you see them, I bet he did not look at you once as you passed him, completely oblivious to other road users. these are the real dangerous drivers, I be he lets people in from side roads on open roads too.... ha ha
That is typical of council contractors some of these people need to watch and learn 🙄
There was one video a while back where you used the horn in frustration ie incorrectly and the very next videos there were two instances where you could easily use your horn to warn other cars but you didn't. I also think it is very poor and lazy practice to reverse onto a road, but at 4:36 was the perfect opportunity to use your horn correctly as the driver could not see you but you could see them!
FFS get a life Cranna😂
@@suziforesterI just don't get why someone who dislikes a particular YT channel keeps watching it 😂😂😂
@alanclarke4646 I presume the 'someone' is me!! How do you know that I don't like LDC's channel? Pure inventive guesswork on your part. When LDC gets something wrong, as in not using his horn where it would be useful, I get criticised by you and that immature whinger Suzi. You don't even come up with any counter argument at all.
I actually like LDC's channel as it's well put together, entertaining and 80% of his driving and criticism of others is fine. It's just on mist videos he comes up with a bit of a howler and this was one.
@@johncranna9427 touchy! 🤣🤣🤣

He's a knob
I have given up driving as i cant cope with the amount of ridiculous drivers on the road , i now have issues as a pedestrian,2 incidents with the same woman/man😂 going through red light then blocking the crossing at the lights ,when i say anything i get the abuse ,like oh you again 😂yeh me again standing up for myself and you yet again not abiding to the law ,well i never get a grip people, accept responsibility for been an arshole
The can blocking the view of the lorry with the sign on was probably his safety net , it's a shame he was round the bend in the road creating a danger to himself and everyone else on the road, I would have reported it immediately to the police 🤐
If you see footage from Russia, their roadworks are organised just like your local "workforce".
Your footage must be relatively easy to compile as you seem to have an over abundance of numpties in sarf London.
Unless of course they're all over London...
08:12 that was awful 😮
The British workforce surely is every person working in Britain including you,
you probably mean the Highway maintenance workforce 🤔😀
The reason people hog the middle lane is it's easier to drive that way. Less lane changing/they lack confidence and it makes everyone else do all the work for them.
When I am on a trip and going through a city, I will move to the lane to my left - I'm usually found in the right lane because I drive the speed limit here in the USA - just so I don't have to deal with people getting on and off the freeway (motorway). As soon as I'm out of the city, back to the right lane.
That point has been made before and it is a relevant reason for lane hogging. Many drivers dislike motorways so it's 'Get in that middle lane, stay and do not move'.
@@AndrewWhite-fu7bn When I'm not in the slow lane, I will keep up with traffic, so as to not be the clot that screws up traffic. Even the police I have asked about following the speed limit or keeping with the flow of traffic have told me to keep with the flow of traffic, regardless of the speed limit.
09:24 that is very bad from the workforce.
I have to admit now live bought the last generation Audi rs5, love it. but honestly Tony my indicators work, my brakes work and I drive defensibly I just love the car I live in the highlands im English but you lot cant drive up here, the only one I would trust is you
17:40 Yep, that guy was stupid as 😂
I don't know the law but I live 2 miles from a motorway and use it all the time. 99.9% move to middle lane when they see a car on the slip road as I will do .I curse to hell and beyond those that stubbornly wontso I've got to brake and slot in behind given that one moved over .You do not want to be braking coming onto a motorway with cars hurling at you
But braking and slowly down or speeding up is exactly what you should be doing on a slip road, it's your responsibility to fit onto the motorway without making people already on the motorway change lanes slow or speed up.
I hate these cars that lane change. They dont get anywhere quicker and youll always have lanes going at different speeds but averaged out you all go at the same speed. But why did YOU change lanes at 8:17, you did the very thing that you hauled up the Volvo for!!
Because we are coming up to the A3 turn off and I'm always either in the middle lane or outside lane because of people leaving it too late to go from lane one into the slip road.
@thelondondashcam Ah, I see. I don't always agree with you doing that but I do see on many videos that people leaving it till the last minute to get onto A3 slip road causes a significant backward ripple so I do understand you doing that. And I presume just the one lane change unlike the Volvo that was continuously changing lanes.
Imagine if Audi made buses? 😮
Or maybe they do ??
One thing, they wouldn't be driving in the bus lanes.
Not got any better down there since I moved away (not that its much better up here). I'm sure if you buy some piece of German engineering you must be awarded a pack of "get out of jail free" cards.
I reckon a lot of F1 fans are swingers.
perhaps a new category: the self entitled road worker vehicle, I mean like the hazard lights on any German car, the flashing orange lights give you all kinds of self importance and inability to be considerate or use any common sense...at all
6:43 You spelt it wrong, it's not Volvo... it's Vulva!
I disagree, so it's a split decision.
0:58 - elderly driver.
And...?
@@AndrewWhite-fu7bn And dangerous.
Supposedly, some of these drivers in "quality" cars are intelligent / professional folk. Clearly they become morons once behind the steering wheel
At 17:20 You ended the video at the point the cyclist was approaching the next red light, did he stop at that one too? Many cyclists (as shown in many of you previous clips) proceed immediately before the lights change to green for their own safety, as this avoids the arsehole drivers who are competing for lanes, oblivious to the safety of vulnerable road users. This is is why many traffic light junctions have advanced stop boxes for cyclists. The reason why you may see many cyclists do this on you manner, maybe because there are too many Audi drivers where you live🤔
The British work force are the worse like Tony could’ve been hurt are you ok? 😊
0:20 the highway code is a bit lacking when it comes to slip roads on dual-carriageways. Those are not give way lines. It is generally the case you yield to traffic in the road you are going to join (such as yielding to traffic already on the circular carriageway of a roundabout before you join it) and traffic already in a side road before you turn into it, but it's not actually specifically illegal like it would be for Give Way and Stop line markings.
So we have two 'should' instructions competing. The general advice that you 'should' anticipate what other drivers will do and always avoid a collision if you can. Along with the 'should' give priority to vehicles already on the road you wish to join.
It's very poor driving to not anticipate that a vehicle emerging on a slip road might wish to join the main road, where else are they going to go?! It's particularly poor driving if there is a clear lane to your right which you could move into, how many lanes do you need???!
It's the responsibility of the person joining to adjust their speed to match. NOT the responsibility of person already on the highway to allow a joiner in.
@@alanclarke4646 wrong attitude and, well, just wrong full stop. I refer you to the first bit of the highway code; the underlying principle if you will:
“The rules in The Highway Code do not give you the right of way in any circumstance, but they advise you when you should give way to others. Always give way if it can help to avoid an incident.”
@@alanclarke4646 Sometimes common sense and survival trump the rules.
Why don't you play the benny hill music to some of the idiot's in your clips
A lot of these stupid manoeuvres on the motorway are by foreign born drivers. You should have to pass the UK test before you get to drive here.
Same for British drivers on the continent I guess then.
@@JaapVanderHorst I understand your implication but most of the drivers I am talking about are not tourists.
Other sovereign countries can do as they please, not for me to say.
Being licensed to drive in Florida, India, Ghana, or Romania doesn't mean you are able to drive safely in the UK or Nederland.
@@drcl7429Indian driving licence is actually a piece of poppadom.
@@alanclarke4646 Which far right demonstration are you attending tomorrow?
4 : 36 Perhaps He Or She Has No Room In The Drive Way to Turn Around in ? !!!
Then he/she should reverse into the drive, not reverse onto a main road.
According to Tony, who probably had a quick glance, there was enough room to 3 point turn a double-decker...
