- Just the usual bunch of idiots in this video.
It's just me driving in and around London mainly in the Surrey areas seeing stupid drivers everywhere I go.

If the little car had gone around the mini roundabout, it wouldn't have been as close to the motorbike.
i love it when u approach a junction a car waits till your on top of them to just pull out
And usually (99%) there is nothing behind me when they pull this dangerous illegal manoeuvre. WTF is so wrong with these ignorant basta##ds 😡😡😡😡
"Wanky" is indeed approved :)
The output is phenomenal at the minute. My favourite Dashcam channel on UA-cam now. Your comments and observations are spot on👌
100%
That mustang clip really angered me. What a c*** and then the person driving 15mph under the speed limit. I get that EVERYDAY!!!!
I want to come to London and hire you to drive me around!❤️
The Volvo is from county Fermanagh, there's no motorway in county Fermanagh lol 😆
My previous experience of a mustang mach e owner is sitting at a rapid charger for over 3 hours, nowhere in sight lol.
Not only is wankie a word, it is the name of a national park in Zimbabwe. By the way, I thought of the following in relation to a previous video - Cornercutting Not Universally Too Smart - but I cannot seem to make the acronym work. Keep up the good work!
I agree. Cut corners, corner cutting, it's the obvious phrase to work with.
Like you, I'm struggling to find an apt and witty descriptive word.
In the end, if I was creating this content, I'd just refer to them as "Cutters." At least until a time came when something better occurred to me.
T-CUTTERS. Because its at a T junction and it reminds me of polishing my car.
Cornering Using Negligent Tactics.
@1milliondogs how about t cunters?
Actually I think that's it!
LDC should refer to them as FUCKING T- CUNTERS!
@@1milliondogs Like it, so fitting.
good video as always...thing is....with so many people...its so hard to do things the right way....so to make life simple..they do it the wrong way..and sod everyone else.
Thats totally right. Too self obsessed and stuck with their faces buried in their bloody mobiles while trying to drive a moving vehicle.
@@Roller_Ghoster absolutely right my friend.
Incompetence + inconsideration, a bad combination.
Loved your presentation. What is the matter with a lot of the drivers shown, whether it be poor lane discipline on motorways to total disregard of road signs. The mentality appears to be “this is my road and I’ll do as I please”!!! Keep the entertainment going and stay safe 👍👍👍
Self entitled drivers.
Wanky is definitely a word. I’ve used it for over 30 years 😂👍
You must be my brother from another mother, it's just like listening to myself driving along, it's not just me that's fluent in French. 😅🤣 Love it. Keep it up.
5:50 When using mini roundabouts 'all vehicles MUST pass around the central markings'
Also general guidance on roundabouts specifically states to take care around motorcycles.
With that in mind I'd say the car would take the lions share of the blame in that scenario.
Thanks for the videos mate.
Thank you 👍
10:42. MUSTANG! Haaaaahaaaa.
By name only.
@7:23 was going to comment saying thought you werent meant to do a Uey at a mini roundabout... then realised you covered that few seconds later making me feel like a muppet 😆
5:55 I blame the car - I am sure the motorbike expected the car to go ROUND the roundabout as he is supposed to do which would give the motorbike plenty of time to go. A lot of people seem to turn right at a mini roundabouts as if the roundabout doesn't exist
I'd be interested to see if the car was actually indicating as it should be turning left or going right so would need to indicate!!
You have to blame the person who invented these mini monstrosities, if they made them like proper roundabouts with raised kerbs it would stop them being overbouts, but then looking at the driving abilities of many people they would end up with damaged sills or bumpers as they are incapable of turning left or right on a straight road
Love this channel, after 30 plus years driving a recovery truck around the same road. Its suppriseing how long it can take to recognise some of the places
I always use the nearside lane and keep a eye out in the distance for the HGV's. There are some circumstances though, when there's a number of them, in which case, i avoid 'ducking and diving'. One wind up involving HGV's is when they decide to use three lanes on a four lane motorway and drive 'line a breast', just leaving the outside lane for overtaking. I can only assume that they do this to be intimidating!! .🤔
Oh wow that jogger should've gotten a good slap for that.
Having a hoof in the face is salutary 😆
Jogger not doing anything illegal.
@@PaulBonsor aye because scaring a horse running/jogging/cycling/driving right at it has to have a definition of legal. The jogger scared the horse or perhaps you don’t realise that a horse can get frightened easily?
@stuarthtodd cycle too close illegal, drive too close illegal, run past absolutely not illegal, pedestrian is the most vulnerable so has priority.
@@PaulBonsor Thanks for the reminder but that's irrelevant - no-one has actually said anything about illegal. The horse would not have been able to get out of the joggers way, the jogger ran/jogged right at it. Not a single person has said anything about legality in this scenario - the jogger was a muppet who should have waited. Once again, perhaps while looking up what is legal and what isn't, you've forgotten that if you move quickly straight at a horse it will scare it. Finally, the horse was on the crossing WELL before the jogger.
So in other words - keep your legality and stop being a moron?
I can’t be the only one that finds it annoying how he says “slow up”? It’s speed up or slow down. Such a little thing but for some reason gets me every time
Yep, it's irritating, as they know it's grammatically incorrect but carry on saying it regardless.
It pi**es me right off when drivers use their hazard's to excuse their bad parking. As we should all know they are there for emergency use only.
11:48 middle lane runner - mixture of fear, nervousness, poor eyesight and just plain stupidity. It’s the other end of the spectrum from the over-confident drivers who speed, whooshing around everybody.
IF they're that fearful they shouldn't be on the road. Healthy fear is good, ofc. Fear that holds everyone else up, not so much.
As a subscriber to the channel, I am now more focused on the road as ever before. Although it has got me saying " Always an Audi" about a 100 times a day!!
My biggest hatred is the middle lane hogger on the motorway, which is obviously featured a lot on the channel. I always find that those that are hogging the middle lane, are absolutely clueless to the law. Whenever I warn them to move over, They are oblivious to the ruling. They are simply unaware that they need to move over!!
Since watching the channel, my sarcasm levels have risen tenfold!! 🤣🤣
When overtaking, I normally use a 30 seconds rule. So if it's going to take me more than 30 seconds to get to the next vehicle, I'll pull back to the nearside lane. If it's going to be less than 30 seconds, I'll stay in the outer lane.
I find it's a good compromise between lane hogging, and driving to the Highway Code.
8:43 not often I don't agree with you but I feel the turning car is better off the road asap ---- and you don't need to slow a lot . bit of give and take ruling ;)
same thoughts at 9:38
but totally agree at 9:59
here's something to remember if you are out on the UK roads: Statistically half of all drivers you see on the road are just average or below average drivers. Why are we surprised when we see poor driving?
The refusal to indicate is definitely a thing.
Just think of their mental state, how unhinged, gates swinging in the wind, lives in need of oiling with the can of common sense and common decency. I see these people every time I am out in town, utterly away with themselves, sod everyone else, as they say of themselves, think of number one, sod everyone else, till they need that someone else.
Modern life is so cosy, these people can afford to degenerate. But then their bad life choices catch up with them. You can't maintain good mental and physical health without honest hard work.
I had an idiot at a roundabout. I was in the lane for going round, this idiot pulls up to my left, in the lane for going oeft or straight. I start making my move, and idiot comes round my left hand side just to get in front. If i hadn't been keeping a good look out, there would have been a collision. Best thing is, he was then the car in front of me in a two mile long queue !
Re the centre lane hoggers, I used to pull out from behind them, overtake, return to the 'inside' lane and if they didn't follow me, I'd slow down and let them pass, then pull out and repeat the manoeuvre. Only about 10% got the message, the rest are in their own little world where only their journey matters and f*ck everyone else!
If the HC says we SHOULD avoid a 180 at a mini roundabout, it doesn't have the force of law, so therefore the mandatory "give way to the right" takes precedence.
1:13 is an all too common sight at non-prioritised traffic calming areas and you quite often end up with the stubborn battle of “my priority” - luckily this was resolved with a quick kerb mount (🤦♂️) and then on their way to grumble at the steering wheel for the next 5 minutes
In that situation I would say the van probably just got there first but either of them could’ve relinquished before they reached the pinch point
me & my mrs watch your clips most nights & we have come to the conclusion. that you are a Audi magnet
I must congratulate you LDC, some of the finest swearing I've heard in a long while.....and all fully justified. When are you getting those t-shirts printed...."Always an Audi !!!"
I am looking into it but it’s all about the money.
Avoid is a Recommendation not an Instruction. If U-turns at mini roundabouts were forbidden then the term would have been Do Not or You Must Not.
When will people learn that vehicles already on a roundabout have the right of way, even if others are joining to the right of them, but not already on the roundabout. You should approach a roundabout at a reasonable speed, expecting and being able to stop at the give way line.
You have surpassed yourself. This is the grumpiest you have been in any of your videos. We need a squirrel
Great video as always
I beleive that that lane hogger is blind and the guide dog is driving.
I drive the a13 quite a lot and there is always middle lane hoggers it’s the worst road I know of for it if I did videos of them it’ll very very long every day
The M40 is pretty good for them, and they like to move from lane 2 to the exit with no indication at the 100 yard marker as well as an added bonus 🤷🏻♂️
I drive a motorway with three lanes and stay in the inside lane to avoid the middle lane hogging vehicles. My speed doesn't need to be at the limit and there's no rush for me. Most cars that come behind me can guess I'm the "slow guy" and when the chance comes they overtake. Never has anyone raged because of my speed, they get on with it. At times i even pass the middle laners due to that lane slowing down.
@@ryszardlorenc7047 I hear you. Speed is probably the number one factor in accidents. My speed hopefully saves and as I get older, I hope I'm sending a message. Just expect those to cut in front, no need to respond to their behaviour because your life is more important than an argument over a millisecond of wasting their time.
i used to move in to the left had lane on a motorway and i payed to take a motorway cores but as i said iv stop driving now cause theres to many twats on the road today
If they’re not doing 70, I undertake them.
It only says AVOID doing a U-turn on a mini roundabout, it does not say "YOU MUST NOT"... AND it warns you to be cautious in case somebody does.
"Avoid making U-turns at mini-roundabouts. BEWARE OF OTHERS DOING THIS."
You should try living in an area that is visited by thousands of tourists in vehicles, that have no idea where they are going, or any knowledge of what the Highways Authority had in mind when they designed some of the road junctions etc. !! 😄
as for lane hogging I was chatting with a work colleague he was from south africa and no matter what I said he was adamant that the first lane on a motorway was for trucks and lorries the second lane was for slow-moving cars and the third lane was for fast move vehicles he also told me he drives at 55 on motorways so there's no helping them if they won't listen
The mustang bit , wouldn’t it be great to have a cheap crap car that you dont mind losing and just let it hit you lol ….
11:03 Yes, according to Long Duk Dong: "No more yankee my wankee! The Donger need food!"
Don’t think it’s a lack of knowledge mate it’s so many people with shitty self entitled selfish attitude toward other road users. As an hgv driver I see this crap all day….keep up the good work fella
I agree completely with both your comments. A lot of drivers have this self entitled attitude nowadays and I saw it on the M4 a couple of days ago, a BMW driver was in the outside lane doing just over 70 mph but wouldn't move over for traffic, I assume because they thought the speed limit is 70 so nobody should go any faster than them. In the end a van did an undertake and then cut back in front pretty sharp, the BMW then moved over 3 lanes in one go and sat in the slow lane at 55-58 mph, just slow enough to annoy HGV's but a little too fast to allow them to overtake. What a tosser😜
I like all your cussing, it gives me a good laugh, thanks
5:54 is an easy answer.
They both entered the rbt at the same time and when you do this on a 3 arm mini there is plenty room and time to go around each other.
Had the car taken the correct path, there would have been no issue. He cut across the spot therefore caused the hypothetical crash. He contravened rule 184 by not adjusting his speed and position to suit others around him as well as the section 36 offence.
Those mini roundabouts are useless, I call them eggs on the road. A few years back I was turning right on one of them and was nearly round it when a car from my left crashed right into me and wrote off my car, I was fine but when I asked the woman why she hit me she said she didn't see me and she thought she had right of way, I said how could you have right of way if you're coming from my left and if you didn't see me then you shouldn't be driving, when the police came they breatlised us both and asked for our licences and lo and behold she was learner driver on her own in the car, they impounded her car and probably was given a huge fine and 6 penalty points.
1:20 the van was there first.
1:39 I'd have moved back over since there was lots of space and time. I saw other cars staying in their lanes just as you did for that extended time because of the same reason you gave, that they'd be overtaking somebody else further down. :) But yes, that Volvo was definitely lane hogging.
5:26 probably pulled over to talk on the phone, or check GPS, which is commendable if that's the case.
6:05 maybe a 50-50 situation...?...
10:19 when I see them coming like that I know they'd try that move, I block them for this very reason/avoid a side-swipe.
I always undertake lane hoggers, and give them a good horn blasting as I pass...
especially if you can see the passenger is sleeping nicely
Something about Londoners swearing just warms my soul even in this heat 🤣🤣🤣
1:20 Swearing at the wrong driver there
5:36 If the black car didn't cut the roundabout there's no issue
9:10 Best to expect poor discipline, especially when there are no markings on the roundabout
12:28 Well done on holding back before overtaking the cyclist, many would have pushed through
So many muppets on the road’s & thanks The London Dash Cam 🚕👍
Look. No can’t gives a funky so good luck 2 the half decent drivers opt there❤❤ 0:02
For the mini roundabout I'd say the car that did the 180 was not in the wrong. It says in the highway code to "avoid" but that does mean they are allowed. It is also followed by "Beware of others doing this" so the audi is at fault fully.
loving the content TLDC... another good one that's for sure. middle lane hogger volvo, He got your message alright.... I feel he just chose to ignore it....
I would say for the bike and car at the mini roundabout it would be 50/50 if they were to have a accident and both be liable.
No matter how many Fitbit ads I get I will never buy one.
The Tolworth turn off is a tricky one because first you come from two lanes from the Esher emerge then add in the next emerge into three lanesthe filter lane does get blocked up and then quite soon there is quite a lot of traffic emerging from the left. That behaviour from the van is reasonable.
Drivers are either smart and defensive or they are selfish and stupid, or both...... Too many of the latter and not enough of the former anymore.... We are a dying breed as the saying goes..... And what those type of drivers don't get is that they simply make things worse and worse... And then they wonder why there is traffic or accidents, etc....
4:00 also they are the kind of person who after sitting in the same lane for 4 miles would lose their mind if you undertook. Now I don't think it's undertaking if, you are doing 70mph in Lane 1. They are doing 65mph in Lane 2 and 3 and 4 are doing say 75mph and it's chocker as Lane 2 causing a bottle neck.
It's far more of an issue for me to slow to 65mph, get behind them, overtake and come back.
Highway code does say something about in traffic you may find lane 1 faster than 2 which is acceptable in traffic, so maybe your scenario wouldn't suit, but often I will stay in 1 with cruise control on and just move out for slower vehicles, lane joggers are the danger to the road, lazy lazy driving.
I couldnt agree more about the Mach-E. To call it a Mustang is an affront to all actual Mustang owners, ever. Shameful.
"Wanky" is an adjective meaning " electric Mustang owner".
Just love your videos, don't know if 'wanky' is a word - but it is now!! 👍
180 on a mini roundabout. I would think avoid is operative term here. Avoid yes, but when no other option available, as in this instance then it becomes unavoidable. The Audi was in the wrong and should have waited as they entered the roundabout when the other car was still on it and with limited space. Also with the horses, bot jogger and cyclists are lucky they weren't startled and reared up. They could easily have thrown the riders and had they kicked out. If that had happened then they woukd have been picking themselves up a few dozen yards from where they were.
Imagine everytime you make some.atuoid decision on the road your insurer gets a notification and that affects your premium, people will just drive better.
"Wankie" is certainly in the Collins Concise English Dictionary...
The Police Training Manual suggest the following as examples of Careless or Inconsiderate Driving.
overtaking on the inside
driving too close to another vehicle (Tailgating)
driving through a red light by mistake
turning into the path of another vehicle (The chap that pulled out on you)
the driver being avoidably distracted by tuning the radio, lighting a cigarette etc
flashing lights to force other drivers to give way
misusing lanes to gain advantage over other drivers (The Golf example in your clip using the left turn lane to get in front)
unnecessarily staying in an overtaking lane (Lane Hogging)
unnecessarily slow driving or braking
dazzling other drivers with un-dipped headlights
All attract 3 points if you accept a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) most are worth more points if you choose court.
I actually deliberately drive over a particular mini roundabout where i live.........booo , because where you drive around the ground drops and the council fill it it ,it drops again repeat and rinse for the past 10 years.
Its bloody obvious theres a sinkhole of some sort yet they wont actually do something.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
I'm getting whiplash from the timeframes of these compilations. The Volvo was from September 2022. Not a criticism but I'd like to know what your process is for choosing?
Volvo clip may have just been forgot about if it’s the only old one
Great vids. I find myself nodding away in agreement as I listen to your in car comments😂. Walkie is definitely a word, I'm not sure on the spelling though. Wankie? Wankey? Wanky? Dunno.
Its not a lack of knowledge, they simply dont give a fxxx about anyone else.
Wanky is a word ,as in its "Wanky Bill ", or "Mr Wanky Panky" .
And its very "Wonky Wanky " .
Roundabout looks 50:50 therefore cos the bike is more vulnerable, it goes to the car, however, it is every road users responsibility to avoid a collision, regardless of fault. I don't think the Audi appreciated the Fiat was going to effectively U turn round the roundabout. it takes 2 road users to have a collision but only 1 to avoid it. I think a front and rear split screen view would be really handy for every clip cos it builds a bigger picture of all the traffic around cos it is about traffic flow as much as priority. I'd be able to criticise much better if you did that 🤣
Now it s a word!
Hello mate , My Mother was an Official Cockney , and she used similar words to " Wankey " , so it's all right by me ! lmao .
First clip driver needs anger management
lane hogging became an offence not too long abo,.. but never policed
I hate to stick up for the Audi but if the other car didn't have their indicator on how did the Audi know it was going right round?
Why does the UK have roads w/ bottlenecks in them (~1:25)? Don't think we have those in the States (at least none that I'm aware of).
They serve to slow cars down in residential areas. Otherwise some drivers barrel through areas where there might be children playing at 40mph.
@@edj4833😧 Children playing at 40mph? Are they DC or Marvel heroes 😂!
5:39 "The buke should not have gone because he does not have priority" Technically the bike needs to give way to the car. In this respect the rider may have calculated that he can complete his turn without forcing the car to alter speed or direction and therefore continue anyway. This would be giving way but not stopping. The assessment the rider makes may have been on the assumption the the car driver would go around the island which he does not. The not circulating the roundabout is a decision of the car driver and incorrect.
the horses had zero priority as they were mounted
I think they had all the priority because it was a red light, and believe it or not instead of a green man it’s actually a green horse on the button press thing.
🤔 I believe that clip was in Epsom, where there is a famous racecourse. Thus the jockeys would know about the crossing, which would be designed for equine access as a Pegasus crossing.
So many clips that I should be posting a comment upon but.....
Information Overload kicks in.
Vorsicht; Deutsches Auto!!!! Not 'Always an Audi' for once lol. Let us hope that; despite pulling out; the driver NEVER has kids 😮😮.
Hmmm..... lane 2 roadhog drives a Volvo for safety reasons. Most ironic, methinks.
Forgot the timestamp but A3 🎥 approaching Chessington turn - obviously can't use mirrors ffs!!
Keep ranting, mate. I really do feel the same way 😼.
Wanky is 100% a word.
Wa**ey is definitely a word👍
Brilliant….
Lorries over 3.5 tonnes are not allowed in lane 3.
Rule 264 of the Highway Code states: “Keep in the left lane unless overtaking. If you are overtaking, you should return to the left lane when it is safe to do so." However, they are likely to face a £100 fine and three penalty points, and if they end up being charged with careless driving, an unlimited fine and three to 11 points on their licence.
The trouble is the police don't enforce it. It must be easy to do it on these "smart motorways" with all the cameras to charge someone.
I was under the impression that's for 3-lane roads. When there are 4 lanes like this, they could go into lane 3, but not lane 4. Effectively it's only the "fast lane" they are not allowed to use.
Yes, I myself would not bring my horse any where near the people you preview on this channel and with that said not everyone is "bad" ,,, that isn't it,, it's taking the time or effort for them to about thinking about their actions and how it might effect others (or horses) before it occurs,,, There lies the twist I feel because everyone, rightly or wrongly,, is thinking about things not related to the driving or walking or crossing the road because they are on auto pilot,,, the task is automatic until something unexpected happens that make a them think when the thinking could have been done before hand with a better out come. At least that is how I see it.
[10:45] The whole idea of a Mustang is NOT the sound. It's the power (such as it was - American muscle cars were notorious for not putting down power very well - they couldn't get all their horses into the wheels). It just happens that at the time power meant big, heavy, noisy, dirty V8s. It now means smaller, lighter, quieter, cleaner, higher torque motors with instant acceleration. Ford are happy with that. Henry Ford's grandson is happy with that. None of this Electric Mustang and "Real" Mustang bollocks. It's a Mustang. Was a Concorde not a plane because it didn't have wooden props, two stacked wings and a piston engine? Word of the day = Progress.
That Mustang that pulled in front of you has a green patch on its reg plate denoting it's an EV. Must have an inferiority complex as who in their right mind would really want to own a Mustang Milk Float!
Wanky is defo a word but not sure how to spell it😢will be using it when driving in the future many thanks.
13:10 VW Golf = Learner AUDI....
I had an interesting interaction with a crazy woman in Aldi today and I thought I'd see what the smart folks in the comments have to say about it🤔🤔
I pulled into the car park and went round the one way system stopping at the zebra crossing to let mum and child across and then continued towards a parking space when a mad woman walked across the road in front of me causing me to slam on the brakes. I was doing less than 10 mph so blew the horn at her as I assumed she hadn't seen my bright red Picasso. I then parked and got out the car and she came across shouting that "The new highway code rules give me priority when I'm crossing the road." I told her she needs to go and read up on these rules as she was wrong..
The question I have is if she walks out from between parked cars in Aldi's car park causing me to stop dead who's in the wrong? Her for crossing and not looking or me because she has priority as a pedestrian. She did end up threatening to call the police and was extremely opinionated whereas I said very little and just let her rant. What do we all think?? (if anyone bothered to read all the way to the bottom of my comment🤣🤣)
I’ve criticised you many times but if anyone says that mustang did a merge in turn I’ll back you all day because they’d be wrong. It was so dangerous, needless and desperate. There was oncoming traffic as well and I don’t think they made it in on time either. Well done for backing off when you did. Your motorway lane clip was important as well. I just can make my mind up about this channel. A lot of what you show and your analysis is very good, however your attitude on the road is a bit stressful. Just relax a bit and try not to show people that being angry at other road users is a good thing. Shouting doesn’t help. And I have to hold my hands up that I didn’t know that going all the way round a mini roundabout is against the highway code. Suppose it makes sense but I think I did it once so I’ll make sure I avoid it
Yes biker was in the wrong puling out at roundabout,however if the car didn't cut the roundabout and went round properly there wouldn't of been an issue,plus when I watch videos like this I always think the cars speed up at roundabouts to make sure people won't come out on them,
5:50 - the car should go around the roundabout, not ignore it so it made the problem.
7:34 on the mini-roundabout - Highway code advises that you should avoid doing a u-turn on a mini-roundabout, though it does not say "must not". I'd suspect a lot of drivers would do the same as the Audi and not expect the u-turn.
And the irony, as you then don't give way to the car indicating right on the same mini roundabout whilst shouting "priority to the right" lol
Why would you give way to the BMW when you're already halfway around the roundabout before they're past the line 🤦♂️
Disclaimer: all the clips from 8:11 onwards I fully agree are just shit driving from idiots. Especially agree with your commentary from 10:30 through to 11:00.
But...
In fairness to the Volvo throughout that whole clip starting at 1:38.....
Between 1:38 and 2:16 the Volvo is overtaking a lorry
Between 2:16 and 2:38 there is virtually zero traffic in either lane 3 or 4, so the Volvo doesn't hold anyone up. Sure it's not best practice, but he's not in anyone's way so there's no material impact
Between 2:38 and 2:56 the Volvo is overtaking a lorry
Between 2:56 and 3:52 - again, who exactly is the Volvo holding up? The reason for the keep left rule is so that you don't impede traffic. The Volvo isn't impeding any traffic here so I don't really see the problem other than "it's not what the highway code says". Big whoop. The real world impact is zero.
Between 3:52 and 4:13 you are talking about lorries overtaking - but this is only relevant when the traffic is going slower than lorries which are limited to 56/60mph, which is generally just because there's loads of traffic anyway. The Volvo could have moved over here, but watching the video they impeded arguably maybe one car at worst.
Between 4:13 and 4:40 the Volvo is now overtaking both you and the lorry you're behind
After 4:40, there is an onramp joining the carriageway at the other side of the junction so I can understand why the Volvo would want to stay in lane 2 to leave lane 1 free for potential vehicles joining.
Overall of the 3 minute clip, I would says the Volvo being in lane 2 is either justified or has no material impact on anyone for all of about 15-20 seconds of it. I would almost certainly agree with you that a lot of what I've said probably wasn't what was going through the mind of the Volvo driver, and I'm not going to claim it's good driving, but I don't think this particular example is as egregious as it initially looks, as for most of it they are either overtaking someone and/or aren't actually getting in anyone's way. In heavier traffic obviously it would be more of an issue, but in my opinion someone sitting in lane 2 when there is minimal traffic isn't really an issue, for as long as they are not actually holding anyone up by doing so. If you ask me, the van that appears in lane 3 at 4:21 looks a bigger offender. I think my point regarding this Volvo is especially in comparison to the silver car lane hogging in the clip at 11:28; the difference in impact on traffic flow is clear.
Re the clip at 6:04 with the mini roundabout I think that's one of those cases where "who is legally at fault?" is a very different question to "who could have done better to make this a non-issue". Legally speaking the motorbike didn't give way so would likely be found at fault for an accident, but obviously the Yaris taking a shortcut over the top of the mini roundabout made things worse than it needed to be. So legally its the motorbike but in court of opinion I would say something like 60/40 or 70/30.
At the clip at 7:00 I feel like the runner could obviously have done better, but the hierarchy of road users says that horse riders should give priority to pedestrians. I also think that the horse rider should have been aware of the runner and been prepared for the runner to keep running and spook the horse. It is obviously inconsiderate of the runner but I feel like the rider should know if their horse is spooky and take extra precautions. Riders should ride with the assumption that other people are idiots, much as it is sensible to drive a car with the assumption that other people are idiots. Another 60/40 or 70/30 in my opinion; both parties could have done better.
At 7:26 this is more of the same. Highway code says to avoid doing U-turns at mini roundabouts, but the highway code (and common sense) says to be aware of people doing so anyway. The Fiat also did have an alternative option; it should have turned right at the mini roundabout then proceeded down Avenue Road & Woodcote Road then turned right onto the A24. It would end up in the exact same place (junction by Epsom Playhouse) as they've gone by doing an unsafe U-turn, and with minimal time difference.
also, i've found that VWs are wannabe Audi drivers
Yes, I think wanky should be a new a new word. I propose the Oxford dictionary should define it as a mini or substandard wanker
