5:40 the dog didn't cause you to crash, it was tailgating the car in front that caused you to crash.
there was no crash
When I was learning to drive I was told, never swerve for an animal.
@@lorrainemarshall4183 Nobody did swerve, the car nearly hit the red car in front of him which braked hard for the dog. Difficult not to tailgate someone who is doing 15mph, looked like he was ready to overtake the red car.
Never swerve for ANYTHING, including a pedestrian. The natural instinct is to swerve to the right, which means you could end up in a head-on collision which is the worst type for fatalities and serious injuries.
@-A-lm5xb absolutely do swerve for pedestrians. Vehicle occupants are more likely to survive a low speed car crash, versus a poor bloody pedestrian who gets hit by a car.
@@-A-lm5xbIf you think that road position is in anyway safe or that an overtake would make any sense you're part of the problem.
The amount of people sending in videos trying to blame other drivers when they were too close to the car in front is insane.
Obviously, because they learn to drive from another idiot. This is England, Ireland... People don't go to driving school...
Very addictive to watch but ,makes me nervous to drive ,not relaxing near bedtime either.
I agree with you , but my daughter never leaves a big gap she says if you do that you always get somebody cutting in.
@@whizzer2944 5:37 "The dog crossing the road caused me to crash into the car". So nothing to do, then, with the fact that you were 1 foot away from the car in front.
#39 - "couldn't see the brake lights due to bright sun"... they were very clear, as was the closing distance, as was the fact that the traffic was stopped ahead... very poor observation.
0:34 "Why is everyone blocking the right lane when the left lane is empty" Well, considering you're in the right lane you can answer the question?
the commentary is added to the video, not put there by the actual cammer.
@@georgebarnes8163 commentary is coming from the cammers actually. Several where people say 'I did x' 'I nearly did y' etc etc
@@nekozombieraw I think the text is added to the video as there are some really odd ones on here, not sure if the one posting the video drives or not to be honest. Any verbal commentary will be from the cameras.
The left lanes seem to be just as busy as the others
@@annother3350 0:23 Cammer is not overtaking, space is on the left for him to move in to. Why is the cammer even in the right lane when it's not making progress?
#70 - 37:00 idk what's worse, the mums inability to reverse, the lorry driver for using that bloody road or the son who was revving the shit out of that car while scratching it at every opportunity.
I feel like i've watched a carry on film
Mate that clip made me cringe so flipping hard😂😂😂 the mum running too😂
@@JoshXCVIII Can you imagine being that Lorry driver seeing that he had a right laugh in the yard that night
@@Zulisian 100%😂😂
He cant use a clutch that's for sure!
Lorry driver was delivering oil to someone's home
isn`t it ironic #69 is a copper. i bet he isn`t a cyclist either. the fact he claimed the cyclist was doing 30mph on a wet flat road is a huge give away..
The idea you could see a push bike accelerating when already doing 30mph (about the top speed I'd expect possible) is bullshit, copper had his ego poked and couldn't deal with it professionally - he made a culpable mistake and then blustered and lied abusing his authority - good on the cyclist to standing up to the bully. Honestly I would call that a classic incident of road rage on the copper's part - completely unnecessary escalation just because he made a lazy assumption about how fast a cyclist might be going.
simply delt with "am I being arrested or am i free to go?" - "can i have your name a number?"
Another good reason to have cameras!
Typical arrogant plod
Guaranteed that #26 is the most heinous crime of all, dash cam footage of a VW bonnet ornament earns Twat Of The Month certainly.
T.O.A.T. for me...🤣
@@markST24 wasn’t that confident but now I think about it, I can’t see it ever being beaten. Agreed.
good night sweet Ferrari 😂😂 learn to drive son
He really didnt want that car to overtake him did he? 😂
Thought he was in his little 1.2L
forgot he had power under his foot 😂
Like the old saying goes. More money than brains
@@MrMaster2262 exactly
@@MrMaster2262 looks like the surface was wet also
Too fast and too close sums a lot of these incidents up.
Plus the inability to look past the end of their bonnet
#7, oh that was hysterical.
#32. I sincerely hope the cammer handed the footage into the police. They may actually have done their job for once.
#67 with the broken windscreen - amazing driving to pull over safely after an accident like that at speed!
Honestly the best thing about these videos - how often when there's a serious one you see people all pull over and run to help. Awesome stuff.
wagon drivers fault, as an ex wagon driver, you need to know the height of your rig, motorway bridges are a min of 16'6” (5.03m), moving a vehicle over that height needs special movement orders and an escort
@@garyowens3698I hadn't even clocked that it was a bridge hit. That was a roofbar from on top of one of those transit vans wasn't it. Shocking.
"As much as I try to be proactive," Yes, you could have braked and not run into the car in front !
No.14 was tailgating so close it’s a miracle he didn’t hit the car.
Break (edit brake... just to keep the keyboard warriors happy) checking leading to a collision should be an automatic 2 yr ban.
So should tailgating!
@@oceandrive7283 100% in agreement.....
Not knowing its BRAKE checking should be an automatic return to school
@@farmerned6 Doh..... auto spell at it again.
100% agree
#69 I knew that police officer wouldn't take responsibility, I knew he'd try to chastise the cyclist over something, ANYTHING!
He should be fired and jailed for abuse of power, he had no legal reason to pull the cyclist over.
Cylcles are not restricted to the speed limits ---- he does not even know basic law LOL
But he was up to 30 and wasn't catching him 😂. He must have got up to 45/50 to catch the cyclist.
@@duncansteward4331actually, at least in the Netherlands, they are. (And I actually got a ticket for speeding on my bicycle once)
Police, making the laws up as they go along
Great perspective Pete. Very insightful and you call out the “shock” that is coming to both individuals and the car market in general.
40:45 - That van driver is going to pick on the wrong person one day... I bet he was the only tool in his van as well...
I had an incident back in 2009, when someone got out of their car to 'discuss things'. I put him on his arse in about two seconds. I didn't hit him per sé, just used a self-defense technique called the two handed push off. When the police arrived, he kept bleating that he wasn't a trained soldier, (I was) and the police called him a bully and told him that he had picked a fight with the wrong person. I was not arrested and no action was taken against me. The guy tried to sue me for damages, but I refused to pay anything and eventually he gave up.
@@calibrazxr750 Nice one - a bit of Karma was surely served that day! 😀
I really hope so
the cop who pulled over the cyclist needs to grow up and leave his ego at home, what wanker !!!
Yep
They're all too full of themselves
The number of psychotic nutcases out in traffic is scary.
3:16 You'd never catch me squeezing down there unless the road was clear ahead.
Too right!
There are two lanes of traffic in the construction zone with a 50 mph. limit. Yet the cam car wonts to pass the red truck, there's not enough room behind the white car to get ahead of the truck and maintain a safe braking distance. So why try doing such a stupid maneuver especially I think with family or friends onboard. You're putting every one's life in danger as you will also distracting the truck driver and could be a reason for him collecting the other car.
Too right, on the left is a long iron girder weighing 38 tonnes? waiting to move right and crush your car.
Poor policeman’s feelings were hurt 😂😂
Imagine if it had been a motorbike not a bicycle. Biker could have hit the police van or ended up dropping the bike trying to stop in time. Moron cop was in the wrong and he damn well knew it. Assholes like him on power trips is why the police get so much deserved hate.
Yeah he got butt hurt big time
100% copper’s fault
And he was armed! Why are people who are so petty allowed to carry a GUN? Yeah tackle the serious crime of being shouted. What a TWAT. No wonder only 7.9% of crimes go to court. We are paying for SHIT policing. I stopped reporting crime 30yrs ago. My insurance co said nothing will happen except your insurance going up. Compare with ordinary police in Brighton who say if its words that's fine fists that's a crime. The MET should all be sacked and they should start again. We had cameras put up in our town 20yrs ago. When a shop on our street was broken into they said they did not have the manpower to search the footage for petty crime. We only have petty crime! We had to pay for all that shite.
Does anyone else enjoy seeing loads of places they know on here ?
10:27 The problem isn't the front brake, but the fact that he was asleep on the wheel
Fair play to the cammer in the 2nd clip. Their reaction was amazing!
39:49 Audi was clearly braking to match speed with the van in lane 2 so that he didn't overtake him on the inside. Unusual for an Audi driver sure, but not unheard of.
I swear I once saw an Audi with working indicator lights ... but nobody believes me.
@00:32 I bet the boss was pretty salty about this crash when they found out!
#70 lol at how he just left his mum to chase him down the road >.
Bloody hell! I have watched less than 5 minutes of this and cannot believe the attitude of some of these dashcam drivers. People make mistakes and instead of being helpful these idiots compound the problem. The one way scenario: It was obvious the old boy had made a mistake coming down the one way the wrong way but the dashcam driver, instead of stopping short to allow the old boy to use the gaps to turn around, has to drive right up to him and force him to reverse. He then seemingly revels in his holier than thou attitude with "Dashcam off to police" and hopes the old boy gets his licence revoked. He needs to read The Water Babies.
Couldn't agree more. So much entitlement and self-righteousness in these videos, trying to punish other drivers who've made a mistake, instead of being helpful. Sad, really.
yep, amazed how some drivers think. I used to do over a thousand miles a week, sometimes two and only used the horn if someone looked like they were reversing into me or similar.. just enough to make them look not the "LOOK HOW AFFRONTED MY EGO IS" kind of horn use. I can count the mistakes I made on one hand if it has a lot of fingers.
got to love the guy driving at 1:05:17 complaining of others whilst totally avoiding the driving lane and sitting the entire time in an overtaking lane
Almost always the case. What these morons don't understand is if someone is overtaking you on your left then you're in the wrong bloody lane. Get in the left lane where you're supposed to be and the need to pass you on the inside doesn't exist. It's extremely annoying to be either stuck behind these idiots or having to risk a ticket for overtaking them on the inside.
@@-A-lm5xbOr..... just stop being a wimp and overtake them on the left. As long as you stay in your lane a little after you've overtaken them, you won't get a ticket anyway.
No such thing as an "Overtaking Lane"
@@bradfordzone5187 of course there is. It's every other lane except for the first one
@@-A-lm5xb The correct move is to remain on your lane and maintain speed to pass vehicle and accelerating out of danger as you start to pull alongside them to keep the time to a minimum.
tomtom 1989 - it wasn’t the dog running into the road that nearly caused a crash, it was you travelling too close the red car
Agh people look for any excuse nowadays!! Pretty rare for someone to put their hand up and say “I was totally in the wrong, it was my fault for following to closely etc etc”
#80 45:25 There's some amazing engineering on the braking ability - both truck and driver.
Nice editing , merging clips ❤
#8 and that's why you never ever sit next to an HGV if it can be avoided.
Why? Because they'll hit & run?
A suggestion ... if you're intimidated by a driver who, for whatever reason, is annoyed with you and makes a point of following/tailgating you aggressively, try calmly driving to the nearest Police Station and, if possible, driving in the "Police Vehicles Only" entrance or, if not, parking somewhere near and sounding your horn. This, coupled with any rear-facing dashcam footage, will be viewed sympathetically by the Police. I know this works from experience :)
Ive never been tailgated, because I always travel at the speed limit, and if there's someone wanting to over take them I let them as slow as they pass
@@2sik_UK It's a limit, not a target.
@@frankhovis yeah I know but when you have open good clear roads, there's no need to be going 40, the road is rated at a speed limit because that speed is safe to travel, I'm understanding if the weather conditions are bad or something but there's no need for it, I'm telling you my experience, it never happens to me
@@frankhovisMate you can get marked down on a driving test for driving slowly, it is dangerous. Put your bloody foot down
@@callumwood6873 It's a limit, not a target.
9:30 ish, that was one of my friends in that disco. its sickening to watch but neither her nor her daughter even think about it anymore thankfully
Was she doing the old ' bloody middle lane hogger, I'll pass then make a point of moving back all the way to the inside lane!'?
Person on that back lane and his missis that had to move for the hgv couldn’t drive to save there life that poor poor clutch 😂😂
#90 you are lucky not to get booked. yes sir no sir - it aint worth arguing.
The vauxhall nearly did you a favour by removing that hideous VW hood ornament.
#70, if you can't back up. Don't get behind the wheel.
Unless you drive on country lanes, there's very little that can prepare you for reversing a long distance on single track lanes. She was driving with someone who was ready to take over which is absolutely fine. The main thing here is that at no point did they expect that lorry to reverse which some sat nav followers do expect!
I get what you mean but you kinda of have to get behind the wheel to learn how to back up 😂
This channel infuriated me so many times, I love it!!!
Laughed at the Ferrari and that was enough for me, I’ll watch the rest later 😂
#32 - He really can't let it go, can he? Looked like Mr Bean!
15:18 I'd be angry too having that hair style
I dunno what it is but maybe every 5-7 years trendy hairdressers push the bowl cut on the young again, I can only assume because it gives them a laugh.
C3 hasn't been MOT'd since 2016
When you see a massive lorry just keep back, give a reasonable safe distance specially when they are in the middle lane
#4..if the cammer had held back then that would of been a non event even though the other driver made a mistake.
4:17 brake checkers need revocation of licence immediately
#8 Never ever sit along side an HGV . Pure mentality, if a tyre blows on it you could find yourself in a very nasty situation.
Never understood why people do it
Plus it would have given the lorry somewhere to go and the accident may not have occurred, always be on the lookout for yours and other escape routes especially around junctions.
Why is nobody talking about the hit & run?
Some of these dashcams are so bad that the only way of knowing it isn't a 90's clip is that everyone is driving around in massive SUVs
IDK about that ~ ½ of `em are listening to 90s music lol!
The nutter in the old clapped out Citroen C3 #32 cracked me up! 😂😂😂
29:20 Cammer deliberately puts himself in harm's way. Ever here of defensive driving? It's the opposite of what you do.
haha yeah goes past three exits trying to overtake the van on the outside. Totally gets what he desererved.
That does not get you some 'good' YT footage, though. Seriously, I do think this desire to get on YT leads to many, many posters actively searching for and encouraging collisions on our roads. The amount of videos you see of people driving towards the person making an error rather than trying to avoid, are downright scary.
28:55 Wow! Thought I'd never see a FedEx driver stopping to check on someone involved in a collision they weren't a part of!
Well hes a trucker
the van drivers are a tad bit more agressive but truckers look out for eachother
He was doing the same and nearly hit the next barrier
I was recently told that following at three seconds plus would reduce accidents on our roads by 93%. Seeing this I can believe that!!
Good to see Finish Plaster's in the UK. They are fine craftsmen, and will guarante a good surface.
52:13 WL51VDN, No Tax. No MOT, No Insurance. Deadly Driver
On the phone and has anger issues too. Rules don't apply to some.
#77 Whatever got that driver riled certainly made him get into more trouble...
@ 44':11 The driver shows control over the stupidity of other users. For me it's a real shame to see how much respect people have lost on the road. Day after day, aggressiveness and “me first” individualism took precedence over cordiality and the difficulties encountered by others, I am thinking of truck drivers.
What a pity!!
@2:57 It was at this moment he knew he'd f*cked up...🤣
I love it when coppers get so bent outta shape and butt hurt over such silly things their little ego's take over, instead of just apologising to the cyclist ( which not many people would😊) it was no big deal that the cyclist was a llittle pissed, he just couldn't take it 😂
The driver at 81 was been torn apart and didn’t do anything wrong at all
Very calm dude FairPlay to him,,
lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
VERY similar to a prat on a scooter a few weeks ago who was behaving exactly the same way. Followed me for 8 miles, even brake tested me on the way (on a scooter, I mean if it was ever in doubt how big a moron we were dealing with), followed another car in front of me from just a yard behind it, overtook 3 cars on the inside, then tried to smash my mirror off when we stopped at traffic lights. And to this day I have no clue what I'm supposed to have done. Absolute tool.
#27 That junction is notorious as one has to pull out with limited visibility on to the outside lane of a dual carriageway.
Meu Deus como tem gente ruim de roda ai kkkkkk parabéns pelos excelentes vídeos ass Saldanha Anápolis Góias Brasil
#32 if someone is clearly following in a situation like this, drive straight to a police station.
56:55 That unmarked X5 gave me bad vibes. I thought it was some sort of wild encounter with a criminal at first. I also love how 'he's a police officer, he knows this and that' yet a few minutes before we see a police officer reverse into a stopped car. So, perhaps, police officers aren't perfect machines that know literally everything afterall!
I can scarcely believe it .
To be fair, he did know his stuff about the speed limit. He should have stuck to his guns. The driver was blatantly speeding and confidently admitted it to the police officer.
@Nathan9197 Deffo. I thought it was sus with the weaving in and out of lane and just a text message sign in the window. Then just 'follow me' but no blue lights or anything. I thought it was some rando fantasist or wannabe faker or something.
There is a massive difference in driving standards between a copper on the beat and a traffic cop. The local cop doesn't get any advanced driver training.
#82 - If the truck was at fault, then so too was the cammer, if not more so!
3 is just brilliant
One thing I’ve noticed about British roads is how narrow they are …and with parking and the wet weather as well ,it’s an accident looking to happen ..
@secondsofyourlife445 You're kidding, right? British roads are terribly designed in many circumstances (I don't even know where to start), and I've been driving them in all sorts of vehicles for 45 years.
I totally agree that lack of education on the roads is a lot to do with the problems, especially in towns. How many times have you driven down a narrow street and the woman coming the other way just keeps on coming until she has nowhere else to go?
How many times do you have to brake hard because somebody has just swung into the junction you're approaching and cut the corner?
How many times do people pull out on you and think it's your fault for not letting them out?
How many times have you been stuck in a line of slow moving traffic on a long trip because there's a slow moving vehicle at the front of the queue and everybody is terrified of overtaking because nobody knows how to overtake safely any more (or do it at all)?
How many times has a bus stopped and the car behind stops behind it, stuck out on the middle of the road so nobody else can get through even though nothing is coming the other way, because for reasons only they can understand they didn't know that a bus with a left indicator likely means the bus is about to stop?
Or drivers stopping and holding up dozens of cars behind them to let one car out?
Or stopping at Give Ways and roundabouts when you can clearly see, even from behind them, that there is no other car around for miles? I could go on all night, but it's all bad driving that nobody seems to care about, least of all the authorities.
The problem is we have now become TOO safety obsessed, particularly where speed is concerned. Driving standards have fallen because nobody knows how to overtake safely any more, or how to use lanes on a motorway, or a dual carraigeway, when to pull over and whose right of way it is on a narrow street and so on, and so on. The result is you get tired and frustrated drivers, sick and tired of having to waste an hour to get across town not just because of the road design, traffic light and so on, but by poor drivers bobbing along at 15mph without a care in the world, totally oblivious of what's behind them?
The problem is the government don't care. Police are instructed to use technology to catch speeding drivers which is responsible for a small percentage of bad accidents, while councils spend millions to catch people in otherwise empty bus lanes and parking on double yellows because they have literally painted them everywhere so there's nowhere else to go, while all the real bad driving issues are ignored almost completely. The main reason for this is they don't lose money for a minor, low speed accident. As long as nobody gets hurt they don't care about everybody's cars getting smashed up, and although it may seem commendable to be so concerned about public safety on the surface, the reality is it's all about the money. We're now at the current situation because a lot of drivers are sick of being penalised and held back for no apparent reason, and are now just so fed up of it that they're past caring and just doing their own thing, hence all the poor driving.
To the guy in replies. What are you on. British roads are notoriously poorly designed and inadequate for the amount of traffic compared to the rest of the developed world
@secondsofyourlife445 britsh roads are the most awful in Europe man.
Absurdly tight and windy, not even a proper bycicle and footpath what a joke
International Transport Forum, there were 3.9 people killed per billion vehicle kilometers driven in Britain in 2011, compared with 6.8 Americans who died per billion vehicle kilometers driven.
Yet we are considerably safer than the wide roads of the US... Drive to the limits of your vehicle and the road conditions and you will be safe whatever the roads are like. UK also has mandatory annual safety checks on all vehicles which must make a big difference - you can expect everyone's brakes to work well!
Copper needs to go back to learning rules of the road he had plenty of time to see cyclist and he still presumed he could pass and then stopped him.the ego on these guys is beyond crazy....and then says u can't shout at me.kick rocks
The reversing skills of the lady at 35:30😂😂
Great footage. Can anyone recommend a good dashcam?
Viofo A119-G V3
#76 Don't know how many times I've seen those idiots dropping their kids off then just doing a u turn, expecting everyone to make space for them
True, but the councils don't help. Why not build lay-bys for the cars instead of trying to stop parents parking there. They have to park somewhere and it makes more sense to me to be able to park as close to the school as possible, the further away they have to park the more roads the kids have to cross to get to them.
@@-A-lm5xbor they could park a bit further away and walk ? See this secondary schools too... What happened to kids taking the bus? Does every kid need to be picked up by their mum especially when they can go by themselves?
@@meowmeow797 As the guy said, the further away you have to park the further the kids have to walk, which likely means crossing more roads, which therefore cannot be safer. I agree with what you're saying, there are people around here that go in the car to pick their kids up from the local junior school and it's only two blocks away,
Back in the day most dads were at work and most mums didn't have a car, but those days have gone. At the same time it's expensive to keep a car on the road so you might as well use it when you can.
Trust me the 5K watch is fake or stolen. No one that drives a shitty Citroen like that can afford a 5K watch.
Depends how much rent boying he does.
#54 good reactions… that clip made my bum clench 🤣
40.21 the audi that hit the breaks after moving into the slow lane. The audi driver moved lanes very safely and without fault. He then applied his breaks so he wasn't at risk of undertaking the white van in the middle lane. The cammer shouldn't have been going quick enough to assume the audu was going to undertake.
29:22 did he drive around that whole roundabout in that lane not expecting anyone to need to exit?
No, he kept his lane, which led to the exit. Tha van driver changed lanes.
Love how Road to Hell, Chris Rea was playing
I always thought it was illegal to reverse onto a main road
It’s not illegal but it is stupid.
I'm sure it was in the highway code at some point, but it isn't now, with the only statement being to not reverse back more than "is necessary".
Incidentally, on trying to dig, there's a prohibition on having TVs which are visible (even by reflection) by the driver and which have anything other than e.g. sat-nav or vehicle information playing on them is illegal. Could that be applied to people who have videos playing or have a video call while driving and they keep their phone in a holder?
10%+2 is not for drivers. Its a guideline for police on when its worth the time to pull a driver over. If the driver were doing 78, the guideline recommends that it isn't worth it and that 80 would be - but it's up to the police at the time. To claim it's legal to drive at 79 on the motorway is conpletely laughable.
2:50 🤣 brilliant
2:02 the truck actually cuts up the Land Rover, there are clearly two lanes going into one here and the land rover is well ahead of the truck going around the roundabout. Truck driver should not have attempted to undertake the Land Rover
Truck drivers can never do anything wrong! 😂
Good spot!
#90 that police officer, if that's what you'd like to call him, is an absolute bellend. This cammer needs to send that off to be assessed. What a pathetic thing to be wasting time on. To top it off, he's asking questions, and when expecting a response, he then interrupts the cammer. Abusive and power mad in his big X5. Probably bullied as a kid.
To be fair, the cammer was going 10mph above the limit, but the officer saying the cammer was lane hogging was quite ridiculous.
@@hughmongus1813 Not sure what he thinks traffic congestion is going to be like, but if he is going 70mph in the 2nd lane and expects everyone to move out of lane 3 and 4 because they can't be overtaking him then he's singlehandedly halved the capacity of the motorway.
@@hughmongus1813 I counted (I regret choosing an interval this large) frames from the end of the "hazard" lane markings to the gantry showing 1m to the junction, and got 215 frames (7.167... seconds - 30fps). That distance is 232 metres in-lane, so the cammer was doing 32.36 metres per second... or 72.4mph. If his speedo is reading high, it could be saying 79 when he's going at that speed, without being out of tolerance. As for his argument about the cammer not moving to lane 2 fast enough... that argument is bollocks of the top order. Cop basically saying that cammer should have cut him up - which would actually have deserved pulling over... and due to the erratic driving of the cop (accelerating to overtake someone on the left) definitely not safe to do. The cammer should not have said they were doing 79 though, but as speedos can only over-read it did discredit the cop's "over 80" argument kinda? 😂
I live near there, going to have fun if I see that car around 😇
#7, rollercoaster of events
#13 Blue car: Indicate? No why should I? That's why!
35:00 I didnt realise speed limits do NOT apply to cyclists? So he can do 100mph down that road with no consequences?
One of many things that don't apply to cyclists, yet they use the same roads.
They don’t apply given cyclists, using pedal power, rarely achieve those speeds anyway. And traditionally, bikes don’t have speedos unless you have a trip computer. That policeman was well out of order though. Too arrogant to admit he was in the wrong and felt the need to give a lecture just because he was shouted at.
Yes cycling needs to be more regulated -- with no insurance most just cycle away from accidents and with many london roads now 20mph for vcars, cyclists will soon be the biggest danger to pedestrians
@@annother3350 You mean you guys need to start thinking about redesigning your roads so you have fully separated cycling facilities that lowers the risk of car-bicycle collisions? Along with then teach drivers better situational awareness for the times that they do encounter cyclists.
In The Netherlands you have an insurance type that covers a lot of things, including you as a cyclist causing damage to a car. You are not uninsured, but it's not car insurance either.
The way insurance cases are covered here when a cyclists runs into a collision with a car driver is that the car driver is typically considered at fault by reasoning with the idea that the cyclist is the more vulnerable road user there.
(I will add that that rule/type of legislation is heavily discussed due to the increasingly suicidal nature of some cyclists around cars).
@@Dutch3DMaster they do, take a look in London, then look at how many don't use them.
2:09. Why didn't you just back off a little knowing that was going to happen. No, you just kept going to close them down. You really showed them didn't you. What a hero. 🙄
#82 No idea what the guy meant in the text, initially the truck did pull into the left lane but for whatever reason the Merc driver seemed to hold back as if he was going to let him in then change his mind. But then further on, the Merc pulls into the left lane then decides he wants to go back to the right for no apparent reason (right indicator on), not sure if he was trying to goad the truck driver or not but if he was wanting to turn right there why did he pull into the left lane? Not handled well by either driver but doesn't make sense to argue with a 20 ton truck.
As for "getting his licence revoked and having to pass another test", hey lets just bring back the death penalty and have done with it. Everybody gets it wrong sometimes, some more than others but on that basis the roads would be empty.
#86 Wouldn't you just loved to have taken the Merc driver's door off? I'd have been very tempted. You're not going to stop to have a rant at someone if you've just been told your daughter has been in an accident surely?
#32… I mean this guy really didn’t want to let it go by continuing to follow the cammer… embarrassing ego
I’d have just called the police on him. Clearly stalking and intimidatory behaviour
I'm a little bit confused was 90 really a police car something about it seemed a little fishy it doesn't look like a police car even an unmarked one I don't know just seems a bit strange to me
I know it's reserecting the cooments , that copper on the M1 was in lane 2 with no intention of going to lane 1 , the only time he was in front of the cammer was when he "undertook" to flash the "slow" banner then he didn't allow the cammer enough room to pull in behind him before flashing up the "follow me" sign, "slow news" day maybe ?
51:49 The roads around Lincoln particularly the A15 are some of the most dangerous roads I've driven on. Hidden dips and corners litter the road and being a single carriageway it takes just one tractor or horsebox to drive people nuts and want to overtake. I've seen near misses and even an overturned lorry on the particular road and you used to have a sign tallying how many road fatalities you would have in the previous year it was so bad. The A15 & A57 should have been made into dual carriageways years ago and would have reduced the likelihood of these accidents likely tenfold.
42:36 The police must know who that bloke is. There is no way that he wouldn't be on their radar.
Looks like an overreaction to someone needlessly honking to me
#24
I rode an old 1972 T150 Triumph trident (with upgraded twin disc front end) back in the 80s and 90s and used the front brake and front brake only atleast 90% of the time!! Never once lost the front end🤔🤔 the rear was an old drum brake which made absolutely no difference to its braking ability!! There was no ABS back then either👍🏾👍🏾
0:30 When will drivers realise that pedestrians have priority, this driver had plenty of time to see what was happening and even though the pedestrian was crossing against the lights, the driver should have given priority by slowing down. the remaining pedestrians were obeying the light and waiting. 0:32 So the cam driver just drives on irrespective of the possibility that the van driver might have been injured. This happens so often in this type of video, why have drivers become so selfish? 5:07 Approaching a roundabout, whether light controlled or not needs far more caution than this cam driver showed, the collision was his/her fault , drivers have to be aware that things happen suddenly at these junctions and they need to approach with even more care than normal. This happened to me during a lesson when my pupil 'panic braked and there was a rear end collision, the driver who ran into the back of me lost his case -- even though he was a solicitor! In this case the cam driver should have been aware of the light and ASSUMED that the vehicle in front would stop, poor anticipation. 5:30 How did they not see each other, mainly because the idiot in the red car decided to take a chance and emerge into a gap that wasn't safe, distracting both drivers R 308 BKV driving without due care and attention. The other two should have slowed down to avoid the danger. 15:04 We all feel like doing it at times, chasing a driver we think has offended us! In this case the 'chase' was totally unjustified, dangerous and close to reckless driving! Stupid is a way of life for some people. 19:15 This is one of the worst mistakes a driver can make; why not let the other driver in?? Surely half a second does not matter even in today's rush? Having an idiot in front of you where you can see him is better than worrying what he is doing behind you, (for the sake of woke or she). 22:20 This looks very much like a version of 'crash for cash, taking advantage of an "impatient" BMW driver, the crasher deliberately rolls into the BMW. Of course I could be wrong, the Juke driver might have been asleep, on the phone or in a trance. 23:05 It is never understandable or justifiable to brake check absolutely never the idiot in the Jaguar could have killed several people in a fit of pique.23:50 It is amazing how many drivers think that hazard warning lights are there to stop you being fined for dangerous or thoughtless parking.28:10 In today's heavy traffic conditions it is not a good idea to be Mr or Mrs polite and stop on a main road to allow half a dozen drivers out, the position here is a good example of what can happen, it causes confusion and accidents. certainly, if you are in a queue in the main road and you have a gap in front, allowing one driver to escape the junction is fine but it is not the driver's responsibility to allow a whole street to empty. In this case the box junction was an extra consideration but there was space for a vehicle on the other side so the exit was clear. 34;49 while the speed limits (crazily) do not apply to cyclists , they can be charged with “Dangerous cycling” in which case a fine can be issued. Adult cyclist should bear number plates and hold certificates of insurance in my opinion, 2021 in the UK 4,353 people were injured by cyclists, 111 of them died the victims in most cases could not receive compensation because no insurance cover was in force. In the case shown in the video, however, the police driver was entirely at fault and the allegation that the cyclist accelerated made the officer look an even bigger fool. 36:19 You don't have to be a plonker to driver an LGV but it helps if you have to plead insanity! 40:53 If there was any justice, this clip should be presented to the police, resulting in the revocation of the van driver's licence -- disgusting driving.49:42 This is an illustration of the oldest road equation in the world, one idiot plus one idiot equals two idiots. The Merc driver was equally at fault for taking up the challenge from the Biffa Bonehead. 53:08 So, he takes the time to turn round and follow another driver to remonstrate with him, explain that he was going to the aid of his daughter, that's why he was on the 'phone, his daughter's accident could easily have been caused by Mr Richard Kedd, also on his 'phone. Sometimes you see more intelligent actions from a lobotomised frog. 56:31 So you endanger your children to prove a point one idiot plus one arrogant idiot equals two and half idiots.
32:24 The cyclist came through the Wellington Arch and ignored the sign to the left "Cyclists use crossing", so he crossed Apsley Way in the wrong place and was not using the designated cycle path on the pavement which passes to the left of the pylons of the Commonwealth Memorial Gate. Had he done that (like other cycles we see coming towards him) he wouldn't have been in a position for the police van to pull out in front of him.
35:01 As per the Highway Code, informed by the Road Traffic Act 1988 section 36 , cyclists 'must obey all traffic signs and traffic light signals' meaning if there is a signed speed limit, cyclists have to obey that sign. If there is no sign showing the speed limit then there is no sign for the cyclist to obey and thus there is no speed limit for them, technically. As there is a clearly signed 20mph speed limit on that road, then the cammer is required to keep to that limit the same as every other road user. The cammer needs to check their highway code as their comment is a clear indication that they, not the police officer, are the one not up to speed with cycling law...
Nice idea, but completely untrue.
@@rb5174 Ah, yet another cyclist who thinks wrong things about the road and their obligations when cycling. I quoted the highway code to back up my post, cyclists MUST obey all traffic signs and traffic light signals. A speed limit sign is a traffic sign under the law. I bet you can't find the part in the highway code that says cyclists don't have to obey signed speed limits. Quote it if you can. I know you can't though. You''ll only be able to find incorrect websites that say that, and unfortunately for you, third party websites are not legally binding under the law. If you look at the actual legislature, you'll find it is indeed true.
The rule is Rule 69 in the Highway Code within Rules for cyclists (59 to 82)
You MUST obey all traffic signs and traffic light signals.
This is, of course, backed up by legislation. When the word MUST is used it is a law you MUST obey, unlike when they use the word SHOULD.
I just checked the relevent legislation, and the posted 20mph limit is indeed legally a sign under the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 (if you have trouble finding which bit, it's PART 2 : Signs and road markings indicating speed limits)
As such, cyclists have to obey a posted speed limit as it is legally a 'traffic sign'.
Find the exception in legislation and post it. If you do I'll gladly accept that you are right, but just posting what you did just shows you are wrong, yet baselessly asserting.
You are right, cyclists are to obey road signs and in this case the limit was 20mph. I went ahead and measured the distance from when the cyclist touched the red line up until the first stone pillar, turns out ~62 metres in 7secs works out to be 9 m/s or pretty much bang on 20mph... All that aside, imo the police van pulled out in an unsafe manner, if a car did that to a police biker the car would've been stopped.. either way it could've been dealt with in a much better way for both parties.
@@Ma7hiu5 I reckon also that the police car pulled out in an unsafe manner, but I don't think the cyclist would have been stopped if he hadn't shouted at the police car.
The cyclist seemed to have a sense of entitlement. He was travelling above the speed limit. Yes, the police van should probably have not pulled out but even so there was no danger to the cyclist. He only got stopped because he shouted at the policeman
#39 18:29 little bump?? the whole bonnet crunched up 😂
Wow... Love the Yellow Ferrari... He ran out of talent in a split second...😂😂😂
At the sixty minute mark when the copper asked why I hadn't come over into lane two I'd have told him that he decided to speed up an undertake me.
that was not an undertake, the cop car never changed lanes and undertaking is not an offence since it was removed from the statute books in 1973.
@@georgebarnes8163 I didn't say it was offence. It doesn't matter if the police car changed lanes or not he still stopped him from moving over by coming up his inside.
@@MultiDoctordeath nonsense, the cammer had plenty of time to pull over in front of the police car, he had no intention of doing so, lane hogging and speeding are both offences and why did the cammer continue to speed after been told not to?
@@MultiDoctordeath It does matter if the police car changed lanes or not, to overtake or undertake you first have to change lanes, the police car did not change lanes.
@@georgebarnes8163 You're wrong, to overtake or undertake you do not have to change lanes. Again I'll say the police car stopped the cammer from moving over.
Number 12 just casually crashing into someone then blaming them because he tried to run a red light
#14 actually tailgating made you almost crash into a car
17:50 the mini driver would be found at fault ...
Brake checking is very much illegal since it is classed as dangerous driving. Dangerous driving can carry an unlimited fine and a two-year prison sentence. In the event that someone dies as a result of a brake check, the maximum sentence for causing death by dangerous driving is 14 years.
#69 This is Britain not China, you can shout at whoever you want all day long as long as you are not threatening anyone.
20:25 you can plainly see there is a clearly marked cycle lane there and the cyclist looks like he's right in the middle of a driving lane. We don't see what happened a few yards before the junction, so blame is hard to attribute. Maybe the driver was impatient with the cycle in the car lane, maybe the cycle swerved into the car. Either way, if the cycle was cycling in the cycle lane, that accident would not have happened.
do you stop to think that perhaps the cycle lane did not go in the direction the cyclist was heading, or that it may have been full of cars (parked or otherwise?). You're just surmising and putting the blame on the cyclist...because you don't like them...that more likely why! 'Driving' lane - there is no such thing except on a motorway. It's a lane - open to all forms of traffic - motorised or otherwise.
@@TheRealKaner There is a clearly marked cycle lane, you know the place that the cyclists should be in. You claim I'm blaming the cyclist, yet in my post I clearly state "blame is hard to attribute". I'm not the one with a biased viewpoint here.
That is by Manchester uni, the cycle is for the other way only. There is no cycle lane for the way he is travelling.
@@mewithme121 That is a cycle lane for cycles going from right to left, cycle lane direction is indicated by the cycle painted on the ground. If the wheels are towards you, then that is the direction you cycle. Unidirectional cycle lanes are always in the direction of the flow of traffic.
That first clip the driver submitted the clip as if we would all side with him against the pedestrian yet he was the one in the wrong! 🤣🤣
How did you work that out? He looked to be using the road correctly, and the lights were green 🤷♂
