With the Kia undertaking on the slip road etc, I bet if you stopped and asked him about it, he wouldn't even have a clue what he'd done wrong
15.06, rolls, that very car was MY wedding car, 28 years ago! Haunting memories as now divorced...
I take your point about lots of people not having driving licences, (it's blindingly obvious where I live), but don't want to say anymore as I don't fancy a jail sentence.
There's probably more Police looking professionally at social media than there are monitoring driving standards on our roads.
On that motorway junction with the roadworks, where drivers seem to get confused over which lane to get in, I wonder how much is down to their satnavs giving them late or inaccurate instructions? The signs also refer to E and W, and so many people don't know the different between east and west. Where drivers rely so much on satnav, they don't often know which compass direction they are heading in, they just follow the arrow on the screen.
@ 14:51 is a 1955 rolls Royce silver wraith with a 4257cc engine
@2:23 You reminded me of my Dad, who often said, in my teenage years, " I've told you a thousand million times not to exaggerate"❤😂
GoodDay and thanks from Western Australia. I think your videos are great. We in WA drive on the same side as the UK, and the only real difference between you and us on the motorways is we are allowed to pass on the inside. Mind you our drivers are pretty much the same as yours. One thing I did like to comment on is your driving instructors. In 2017 we holidayed in the UK. We arrived at Heathrow, got our hire car and headed to our first B&B in Duxford. On the first morning we met our fellow guests, 2 ladies who had travelled up from Hampshire to do a training course. They were in the late 20's early 30's and the driver had only just passed her test and this was the first drive on motorways. Whilst talking she indicated that she was told that on a 3 lane motorway the right hand lane speed limit was 70MPH, the centre lane was 60MPH and the left hand lane was 50MPH. Who taught her to drive and how did she pass her test.
Similar to the incorrect 'Slow', 'Hogger' and 'Fast lane' used by some posters instead of the correct Lane1/2/3/4 etc.
@5:51 I immediately thought of that old Smokey Robinson hit, "Kias of a Klown" 😂
@11:59 Opel Kadett shares the same bodyshape as the Vauxhall Chevette. This one is definitely an Opel but the engine size *DVLA search* is bigger than I expected.
⛽ Head 2 is a Rolls Royce. No idea of the model.
⛽️ Head 3 definitely 🇺🇸 from early 1960's best guess.
Well, Tony. You came across a Kia Invincible 😂😂😂
Does it look anything like the Kia Invisible 🤣🤣🤣 Asking for a friend because I have never seen one rofl.
Good vid as always.
2 is a RR Phantom III and 3 is a Chevy Bel-Air drop head from 1957. yes I got number 1 straight away too, it's known as the city model due to the hatchback name not being in common use at the time.
The answer to the problem at 5:00 M25 E/W would be to do what they do in Greece, at large sliproad/junctions; Start with a white line which gradually gets higher (Half Bricks) then rapidly gets even higher 3 or 4 courses & wider so that no one can jump from the left lane to the right(or vice versa) Simple solution !! Mini Roundabouts, 3 points (if you get caught) for going OVER the thing but some are so stupidly positioned you can't help it !
Okay, I love your videos. Very entertaining. Now in my country we drive on the right and in my state you don't need a special license to haul people anymore, but when I was a kid you did (chauffeur license) if would specify what you were hauling freight, people you get the idea. But that Kia I'm like you manners a flash of the lights or a hand wave something. My kid says no one does it anymore, but when they let me in I always do. And I taught my kid to do the same. Now no indication drives me crazy, they're all out of blinker fluid. Or they have no clue where the switch for it is. Or as my kid says you're not to know where their going. It's a guessing game. You drive safely and have a great day.
As a relatively new arrival to the UK from mainland Europe I have to say that driving on the right vs left is not a huge deal at all. Took me 2 hours to get used to it. And my observations regarding shitty clueless drivers is that they are mainly from the Indian subcontinent and Africa.
Have you seen the way they drive in those areas?? Take your life in your hands every day!!
Last year, I used my dutch driving license to rent electric shared bicycles in the UK. I knew the UK traffic rules before visiting the UK. At that time, i only had my license for two months. I only had one situation with a van driver who desperately wanted to overtake me whilst i was on i had my right arm out indicating right seconds before the van overtook me. I think he used the self entitlement polish because his van was a mercedes viano
Dreadful driving standards Tony. How many are still driving who’ve been banned from driving and continue to drive……. Take care and catch you soon 👍👍👍
Not enough Police to catch them. Also motoring offences are not seen as 'real crime'; just look at the sentences handed out to drivers who kill.
Hi London Dash Cam, your first clip reminds of of one of Ashley Neal's videos where he explains that observation at junctions all too often involves the driver focusing on the middle of the junction or bend , on the right hand side when turning right and left hand side when turning left, this tends toward corner cutting while looking at the away side , looking to the exit curb not crown helps with staying clear of the centre markings. It could be that many drivers are simply ignorant, this is consistent with the initial purchase of cars like BMW and Audi, not ever a clever choice of transport, more style than substance.
Cheers, Richard
Just because they are Bad Drivers does not mean they are from another Country. I watched a Video a couple of days ago where a Car stopped at Red Lights. There was a Man and a Woman in the Car and they were arguing. The Lights turned Green and they still didn't move. Too bust arguing. The Man in the Car behind them, whos Dash Cam was used, got out knocked the Drivers Window and Shouted, 'It's Green Move', before they moved. (They were English)
The lights you mention should have a green right turn arrow illuminating that on coming traffic is halted. It might be worth emailing whichever authority is responsible to establish why this hasn’t been done as this has been standard practice for decades.
I was on the M5 on Friday and the amount of people in the outside lanes who I went by on the inside was incredible. I undertook at least 30 cars in a 2 junction/10 mile run and my average speed was 67mph. The Kia may well have been a rental with a non licence holder driving!
It's unbelievable how many people understeer at a junction. Lost count of how many cars have turned into my path as I approach one. One of my pet hates is peoples inability to maintain lane control, especially at roundabouts, or in their case, straightoverabouts.
You know that they sell brake fluid to make brakes work , well over here you can find Blinker (indicator) Fluid for those that have seemed to run out as their blinkers don't work...... a bit like your wax..
I loved that commentary on the Kia from 6:50 to 11:08 - love it - the orange car in this was a Opel Kadett City model 1.3 hatchback. great vid as always Tony! 🤩
also the car @15:28 is a Chevrolet Bel-Air, The Roller was a Phantom 3.
Glad you continued my rant on foreign drivers. I don't think driving on the opposite side is an issue but certainly do thing that its very obvious that someone hasn't had any rigorous instruction or testing. I would expect the Netherlands to have higher standards though.
The white convertible is a 1959 Ford Galaxie convertible.
Vauxhall small cars in the UK - Viva HA, Viva HB, Vivs HC, Chevette, Astra.... - the Opel equivalents in Europe were all callef Kadett. Chevette was avalable in two-door only saloon, hatchback and estate. As the series upsized, the Nova/Corsa was introduced beneath. 20:13
Orange car on the motorway Tony is a Vauxhall Chevette baby brother to the Mk1 Vauxhall Cavalier. Good cars.
14:41 - reminds me of recently being behind a car that was billowing out black exhaust, when said exhaust was still coming out while they were doing just under 50mph I decided I would get past them at the next roundabout (they were still in, and indeed stayed in, the left lane - and yes I do know rounndabouts aren't the best of places to overtake and typically I wouldn't). The funny thing was when a car further back behind me already in the outside lane then decided they were going to pull back into the left lane behind the car putting out all the exhaust, when it was abundantly clear the only reason they had gone into the right lane was to avoid said exhaust! (Obviously they thought it was coming from me when a) I would never let mine get to that state and b) live right next to the local garage anyway to the point that when I do need my car checking/servicing etc I just walk there to drop my key off!
In the traffic light clip with a green light and a red opposite, it should have a right green arrow as well as a normal green. You would then know opposing traffic was on a red.
With the car sitting in the right hand lane, there was no filter light on, so the traffic coming the opposite direction is on green. If your filter arrow is not on then you are technically at a red light, you telling the Merc to go through is wrong.
Orange car at 11 minutes is a Opel Kadett usually 1200 cc model as opposed to the Vauxhall Chevette similar body style but different engine and front headlamps . I had a Opel Kadett Hua 372t in same colour
The driver of the KIA apologises. His AUDI is in for a go faster service.
My wife is Italian and after one year she had to take her test. That was 50 years ago but I am sure that it hasn't changed.
The drivers that don't indicate thinks the driver behind is a clairvoyant
Plus all other road users in the vicinity.
When there is a passenger in the car I've noticed that driver turns to face passengers when talking and doesn't concentrate on the road
That was my grandfather's trick when he was driving his Jowett Javelin around Bacup, Lancs. in the 50's. But back then Bacup was slightly less congested than the M4 is these days.
9:25 Explanation for the KIA driver. He was a former Audi driver who couldn’t afford another Audi, so he bought the KIA. Now he still thinks himself as an Audi driver and pretends it’s an Audi. 😂
A carnundrum
The Orange car is a Vauxhall chevette commonly known as a shoveit.because they kept breaking down.
The engine capacity limit for motorcycles on motorways is "Above 50cc". That's definately been the case since about 1970, can't remember signs before that very well.
Thanks The London Dash Cam 🚕😊👍
Another day at the office, but we live to tell the tale!
Agree with you about the number of people on the road who you would question whether they have a license or a legitimate licence or any decent training for that matter. Seems to be an increasing issue
As an aside, I was watching a video showing vehicles being taken of a Scottish Island to be scrapped. Naturally the Audi had to be on top of the pile!
I had a woman pull out on me today, i was flapping at a spider hanging down in front of my face, she thought i was waving her out, at least we had a laugh about it but it was a close thing, if you ever have any kind of insect in your car ignore it until you can stop safely.
Spiders (brown recluse) and snakes, Yikes! I will stop in the middle of the road and get out anywhere! YIkes! Once bitten, twice shy...
Thank you
Being in Blackpool doesn’t stop me watching Tony ❤
Illuminating.
Ré the Deliveroo rider; Provisional, Full?? I would have assumed he had neither; I let the owner of a Pizza shop know one of his drivers was out there with defective lights; and later caught the owner TRYING to explain how the lights worked TO the guy driving it.
And not in English.
A week later and it was still driving around with defective lights.
When you was on A3 slip road I saw “A3” written on the dotted lines next to M25
Yes, I know someone who use to drive without a licence. He does not do it now.
Wow, i may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but even i can work out what side of a turn to go!
As an ocado hgv driver I'm up nd down this part of the M25 everyday and people can't read signage aways in wrong lanes jnc 10 A3
A lot of drivers over here have British driving licences, but they`ve never taken a test. Marvellous what a few quid and a mate or "cousin" can get you. And it really shows when you get to certain areas of the country, though it is spreading.
You may be confusing ‘licences’ with ‘MOTs’, perhaps? The latter used to be easily obtained but, I’d have thought (or hoped) that getting a ‘dodgy’ UK licence would be as difficult as getting a counterfeit passport? That said, I DO know a couple of guys whose passports cost them about £5k apiece so, maybe you’re right!🤔😉✌️
Audi have to go fast like your song...
The kia wanted to make full use of the lane I think, of course lots of little driving errors and No police around as always.
11:07 I think its an old Opel Kadett
12:00 as a motorbike rider of many years, I thought it was a engine size over 50cc on a motorway:::Highway code: riders of motorcycles with an engine size smaller than 50cc arent allowed to use motorways, due to their restricted speed.
15:07 what a nice rolls royce
15:56 never mind the biscuits need more blinker fluid
The wedding car is a Ford Fairlane 500 coupe/convertible LHD??(Yank Tank).
Have to same issue down under with drivers from the sub-continent as well from some South East Asian countries.
Wrong side of the road at night with no lights.
Why don't you have a two for one offer - throw in blinker oil with the wax -.
By the way still waiting for my supply for local distribution.
Stay safe as always.
When my dad drove he always looked at the person when talking. No telling what things might have been in his way. 😅
When vehicle sit at traffic signals you can bet the phone comes out to play hence we get no movement on green lights
As a Dutch person living in the UK, I had to exchange my Dutch license for a UK one and its as simple as just sending in the old one and asking for a new one 🤷♂ no test to see if you know the difference in rules, you just ask for one and you get it!
Oh wow I didn't know that's how it's done nowadays
The orange classic car is a vauxhall chevette
At 17:00 i believe that a foreigner can drive, using a licence from their country for one year, before having to take a U.K. test....sounds a bit dodgy, but that's where the law has drawn the line!! 😳
I drive a nice car which I saved up to buy and I drive it carefully to the point where I seem to be doing a lot of people's thinking for them simply to avoid getting a scrape from some tw4t who couldn't care less, I'm seriously contemplating buying a big old banger and seeing what happens when i let them do their own thinking.
I think that "petrolhead" moment was a Opal Kadette
Re: different driving licenses and different rules.
It kills me inside when I travel to Finland and motorists don’t indicate left (when talking more than 2nd exit) as usually means cars waiting for cars to take previous exit but waiting because you don’t know where they’re going.
My mum in law (Finnish) also indicates right on roundabouts, as she’s already turning the wheel to turn right. (Also drives me crazy lol)
Also notice more common there too have 4 way giveaway lanes and give priority to the right? Instead we’ll normally have a main road with 2 side exits/entrances which have give way lines.
This is coming from Southern California. I believe the small orange car was a Vauxhall Chevette.
I was thinking the same. 10.59
The front didn't look pointy enough. They had a wedge shaped nose.
It could be an Opel Kadett City, but I can't find any record of them being rhd.
You don't, by any chance live in Orange County?
@@AndrewWhite-fu7bn yes
@@michaeltrudeau9983 Spooky !
Alll commercial drivers should have to take a UK advanced driving course and test.
12:41 Your right, you shouldn’t overtake on the left side (your right if in the states). Motorbikes have to follow regular road rules. In the states it’s 150cc to enter a freeway or as you call it a roadway.
Numbers for non UK licence holders driving are difficult to find but I do know you can exchange your international licence, if it's exchangeable, for a £43 fee on the Gov website. If you have a non-exchangeable licence then you have to take a test but you can drive for up to 6 months although some insurance companies are reluctant to insure you. I found this all out when my GF, from the Philippines wanted to get her UK licence, she needs to take a UK driving test and would be classed as a new driver for insurance purposes (according to Swiftcover).
Bad drivers are bad drivers, no matter where you come from or where you passed your test. It's people who, to quote you, "Think they are too important". And that goes for motorbikes, cyclists and pedestrians.
Not too important, I would say, just making poor motoring decisions.
20:30 They going to be waiting a long time to get on the M4. 😂
In an ideal world... Everyone would be held accountable. Period. 🤔😉
have a rantingly good day.
Yes, I share your rant and your frustration with foreign drivers. No apologies for this pull up a sand bag and swing the light moment.
When I was in the Army, before we were allowed out on the roads in Germany we had to pass a written test on what was the equivalent to our Highway Code and we had to learn and understand the language on the German road signs. Then we had to complete 20 hours conversion driving which involved an assessment. I understand if you're coming on holiday not practical, but they should at least passed a basic Highway Code test, and the same if UK drivers want to visit other countries.
I know many would argue that, it would not be possible to implement such an assessment for goods vehicles delivering in the UK, but I argue why not. Send the driver to the UK for 2 days to learn our road system.
I also think you should have to send in your driving licence number when applying for insurance, which should be checked before providing insurance. There should be more ANPR cameras to check insurance, licence and MoT, then parkies should be given powers to be able to stop and crush these vehicles.
Never had a crash, my insurance this year went up to £198.00 compared to £120.00 last year. I must be missing something that makes me a higher risk, and I don't even drive an electric Kia or an Audi.
Great videos ❤
It was a Vauxhall chevette, a rust bucket
That little Orange Vauxhall Chevette was my first new car. An "X" reg. Shame if it was the Opel.
My partner is from US and cannot be a insured on my Tesla. So he doesn't drive. How many others have that problem and do?
Why can't he be insured? OH, US driver. I understand, his license probably has a hold on it here. (Grin) Lots of drivers here in the US don't even have a drivers license let alone insurance. Your lucky if the vehicle is registered.
19:45 also there was a bike not parked in the bike rack as well
Africa is a continent, where in Africa was the driver from? It is like someone saying you are from Europe but there are many countries and Europe and things are done differently in each country.
11:01 that was shocking
The black guy from Africa with the Dutch licence might have had his 4 crashes in Holland. A number of African countries drive on the left mate. Except Egypt, they drive wherever they please. 🤣
And Malta, where they drive in the shade!
Yes, driving around Cairo is an experience not to be forgotten.
10:14 that Kia is more then letting the side down I would think you wanna change your car after seeing that idiot
The rolls Royce is an 1955 silver wraith
One report I saw online from a charity said there are up to 5 million uninsured and unlicenced drivers on UK roads. I expect that figure is on the low side as there are a lot of illegal immigrants in the UK who are undocumented who are working in the black economy and drive regularly.
Given some of the taxi rides I've had ... I'd say that's correct.
Kia's chief design officer came from BMW.
The sister company's (Hyundai) head of design came from Audi.
That may explain the behaviour.
I would guess that at least 30% don't have a UK driver's license from the way people drive, maybe even more.
I wish I could find out how BMW VW Audi ,can sell new cars in this country with no indicators
Well, I watched the police snarling up the outside (straight on) lane intending moving into the Gatwick lane A3 to M25 coming the other way last week, so, if the police do it and don’t reprimand or stop other drivers from doing it (dangerous queue forming), why on earth would mere mortals not follow suit?!
The police almost have a free pass when driving the highways on duty. More so with blues and two's.
10:10 too focused on the Kia to notice the usual suspect of the Audi driver infront, taking the slip road pretty much as it begins to go solid line
🤣🤣🤣 9:39
Couldn’t afford the finance on a real A35 AMG.
Why do people do this? I don’t get it.
Kia drivers eh! You've gotta love em.
You may have bumped into my sister Jaimee she’s hired a rental car and she is driving in an International license
10:01 what an utter burk
Pedant Alert: Berk, from rhyming slang Berkshire Hunt...
@@AndrewWhite-fu7bn I was thinking more along the lines as a line from blackadder lol
Anything OVER 50cc is legal on the motorway, but you'd have to be crazy on a 60cc or 80cc or even 90cc bike to go there. And yeah he is a kn*b to undertake on the motorway.
The Kia wasn't on the right edge of his lane jiust for fun, it was an intentional buffer because have you never seen a trucker veer out of their lane?
What you mean veer out of their lane exactly how the Kia did it 🤔
@@thelondondashcam there are enough videos of cars being pushed sideways down the motorway by trucks that entered the car's lane either because they assumed it was empty or because they dozed off or were looking elsewhere than at the road. That is what I mean. ;)
@@normanvingoe1368 Far too many examples of that on dash cam videos NOT to be cautious when an HGV is in your vicinity.
WELL lad. The same fucking thing IS happening in Ireland.
People who don't have a fucking cuue. Like Ur channel
Motorcycles on motorways. It has always been any bike over 50cc are allowed. Or at least since I passed my test back in 1968 it has been...
And you have a full licence
Is there not some small satisfaction in that all those on the A3/M25 clip cutting across to go right are inconveniencing the Audi in front of you too?
20:33 Looked like an Edsel.
I've been saying it for a long time: people from overseas (let's call them foreigners) bring their cultural norms (let's call them bad habits) with them.
I was wondering why you expect all these gits to obey the Highway Code when you know up front that they are not going to and if it weren't so you wouldn't have a programme. Savvy?
Like what we do when driving in 'foreign' countries. A poor driver over here is probably a poor driver 'over there'
@@AndrewWhite-fu7bn Possibly - I personally bring my good habits when I drive abroad.
Always a Kia
Amazing how so many people don’t know how to use indicators surely it is just an automatic action all very odd
' Automatic' indicating is alleged to be poor driving. All indications should be planned and relevant, apparently.
@@AndrewWhite-fu7bn Well I never obviously doing it wrong for all these years should have been planning more. Obviously all the people in these big fancy cars who never indicate just don’t see the relevance 🤣
@@Sarah-bq7zo Yes, a recent brief chat about motoring in a petrol station queue ended with the words,
'Who indicates these days?' The chap sounded serious.
Indicate if your intended manoeuvre affects another road user. Returning to the leftmost running lane after an overtake doesn't affect the traffic you've passed because they'd have to be going faster than you to need the space at the same time. No need to indicate of you're staying in the same spiral lane on a roundabout, only if you intend to cross the lines to another lane.
Coming from Leeds, what is the yellow circle of death ? 😂
The London private hirer sticker, which is commonly attached to cars with useless private hirer drivers, as evidenced in a lot of these videos, who will eventually kill someone, hence "circle of death"
@@dhcgvvchnchb1161over here, user drivers😅
Where was it on that car? I could see nothing circular, yellow or otherwise.

@@AndrewWhite-fu7bn yes.
I have been cycling for about the past 50 odd years. I don't cycle anymore because of the bad name the minority of cyclists have given all cyclists. Some road users are positively aggressive towards cyclists in what they do and say because of the way the minority cycle. Such a shame.
I get that, I obviously get the same being a Private Hire Driver because a majority of them are bloody awful, the only thing I have to disagree with you with is you saying it's a minority in my experience and from what I see on the roads it's a majority now that do not stop at red lights.
We Kia drivers used to be good.
And it will get worse because more and more Private Hire drivers are using the Kia e Nero, it won't be long before I'm always saying Always a Kia 🤣
A 50cc moped cannot exceed 30mph so cannot be legally used on a motorway - that's definitely a 125 at least, as it's clearly keeping up with traffic. As for their riding style... they may have a licence from overseas, or may just be a twat.
It's a scooter 125cc and must have a full licence any think over 49cc and full licence is ok
@@iandawson7373 you can ride a 125 on a CBT without a full licence, just not on the motorway - and you cannot ride 50cc mopeds on the motorway regardless of licence as they cannot exceed 30mph and are therefore banned from motorways.
