If the car in front suddenly stops and you don't have enough space to stop that just means one thing, you are way to close!
Yeah but they need to knock two tenths off their journey time and bullying other road users into going faster is the only way they can do it.
Well, it can also mean that some chap with all the brains of a snot munching goblin has cut you off and then stopped but, yes, 99% of the time it's your own fault.
Hard disagree. Plenty of cases where drivers who are way too old or lack skill slam the brakes utterly randomly.
I hit one such oldie because at a intersection where I am obligated to look left (unless I want to murder a cyclist) he began to turn right, then realises he's so old he needs two lanes and there's a oncoming car 50+ meters out, and he went into a boomer-induced psychosis and slammed the brakes.
Had to take it all the way to court to win, but did win: He had no reason to brake, drove carelessly so I'm under no obligation to avoid hitting him.
totally agree, oh the horror, someone is lost and decides to pull in so i can stop tailgating them, it's clearly their fault i was so far up their arse
@@SVEVelsenAnd yet you still hit him. Drivers nowadays are too focused on not being at fault for an accident, instead of focusing on avoiding the accidents in the first place.
In 99% of cases, crashing into the back of someone is your fault. It is *irrelevant* whether they had good reason to brake sharply. What matters is *cars are capable of stopping suddenly* and you should drive at a distance that means you can react and stop if they do.
This is how to drive to *avoid* accidents, even if the accident wouldn't be your fault.
#11 5:42 It didn't help that you were less than half of the braking distance behind the car in front. You can't see in front of them especially in the dark so why drive so close? Could be any reason they stop suddenly, a fox, a child, a pothole, or they see a layby to stop at and take a look at a map for an alternative route in this instance.
"Only a fool breaks the two second rule".
Exactly right. It's also obvious that the white car wanted to go right and is now confused, unfamiliar with the road and there is a rally good good chance they are going to be looking for somewhere to stop and figure out their sat nav or to stop and turn around.
It helps if one reacts to brake lights which the cammer was very (very) slow to do.
I mean they could see them braking and didn't think to themselves I know maybe I'll step on my brakes..
@@alanwm1986 You say "brakes" and "breaks" in the same sentence.
@@IanAnthonyMartin I said braking. But thanks the the correction
#13 6:33 Good to see that you realise it's a blind bend. When they committed to going the road was clear for them. When you saw, you had opportunity to stop to let them through, but you decided to push on instead and cause the situation. Why? Do you think the 'obstruction on their side of the road' rule applies here? You'd be wrong if you do.
He or she thinks the oncoming driver should have known they were there by some hitherto unknown sixth sense.
agreed #13 was a complete bellend
Exactly! I don't know what the cammer was expecting there. Would love to see how they'd react in the other guy's shoes.
I was taught that if an opposing vehicle had committed to an overtake of parked vehicles, they have right of way. Also a vehicle doing a three point turn or reversing into a driveway and have started while the road was clear they have right of way. Sadly curtesy has vanished from the UKs roads, everybody is racing to be in front. It's good to be sure but don't be dead sure.
There is no highway code rule giving priority in this scenario. In reality, the traffic that needs to change lanes should give priority, but as others have stated, once committed - they can't do that anymore, so others should accommodate. Or, alternatively, continue and make themselves look like a moron.
#11 if you nearly go into the back of a car in front it's on you.
#18 needs to be reported to the Police.
novus property solutions, have at it
13 took that corner with too much zeal
#11 Near miss caused by you not the driver in front, you were driving way too close.
Agreed..also the comment ‘ Couldn’t be bothered to take a diversion’ is bizarre. They wanted to turn right, but couldn’t, that much we can all see including the cammer . They had to carry on (ie take a diversion ) and is it a surprise that they stopped at the first opportunity to assess their options? After all this, the cammer submits the clip!
I love the way people are so shocked by this sort of driving as I have to see it every day on UK roads.
3:50 it's about time this was stamped out, I see this about 90% of the time the lights change. Instant 6 month ban, there's just no excuse to drive like a c***
#14 the number of people who think it's completely fine to go over solid lines these days is scary.
#13 6:18 Are you transporting a Mike Oldfield tribute band?
8:49 Novus Property Solutions DN67 VVE
Also find it hilarious the Tiguan almost gets wiped out by the Wickes lorry when they are stopped. Idiots are everywhere....
i noticed that too 😂
#2 0:40 People blocking box junctions. What is it that goes on it people's heads that they do this? You literally gain a few feet.
I've seen people do it on a level crossing near me. If ever there was a time to not go on a box junction it's when there's a bloody train track running through it!
My hypothesis is that the majority just aren't on the lookout for the box junction and enter it before realising, rather than observing it and then going in anyway.
@@simonmeadows7961 If that is the case, then those people definitely should not be driving.
You're probably right though. So many people bimble along just going at whatever speed and barely seem to notice speed limit signs, keep clears, box junctions, solid lines and so on.
There's a level crossing in Lincoln where they've had to put up a big yellow sign that says "Do not queue across train tracks". Every time I see that sign I want to put my head in my hands - I mean, how stupid do some people have to be to need to be explicitly told that by a sign? And why are those people even allowed to drive cars?
@@Zeem4 The same people that need a 'contains nuts' warning on a jar of peanut butter.
Nothing, that’s all
This week our guest on "ive paid for a dashcam and am desperate for anything remotley interesting to occur, forcing me to clutch at straws" is......clip 7!!!!
With a special guest appearance from clip 10....
I know right. They moved over when they were well in front of the camera car. Not every lane change needs an indication
Clip 7 - Something that you learn if you take advanced driving courses in the UK is that you don't always need to use indicators to signal a lane change. In the case of those police cars, their lane change was perfectly safe, and no other vehicles were placed in danger. When you can see the whole of the car behind you in your rear-view mirror generally means it is safe not to use indicators, of course to judge when the car in front is at a safe distance is usually the "2-3 second rule." Btw, traffic police all undergo advanced driving techniques.
@johnl4933 Came here to say that myself (IAMRoadsmart) But ADI instructors also usually make clear if it's of benifit then yes but if not no (not needed).
@@rustydusty2992 My ADI instructor had a totally different point of view. "You are not perfect. You may think you have spotted every other road user who may be affected by your actions, but one day you are going to be wrong. Giving a signal - even if you are sure it's not needed - might give somebody else that vital little bit of extra time to avoid a problem caused by your error."
@@JustsomeblokeinYorkshire The case in the video is pretty damn simple isnt it and in all other cases you have to take it's merrits into consideration and if there is any doubt at all yes I give an indication so when I don't I am sure that as sure can be thats the case but you also have to take into account road positioning doing the indicating for you as well so there is this back up to no indicators when I don't and that speaks for what your intentions are as well.
As with your ADI there are some rotton apples in the barrel so go to the tree with me the Instructors who instruct ADI drivers.
ADI drivers with some always have a slight alsnt on things so if you are picking the apple off the tree you are A. Sure to get it Fresh and B. Sure that that is the tree they should all be singing from.
I recomend Ashley Neal YT He holds the view that many of us Advanced and response drivers hold on this one do you singing with indicators when needed and you positioning when needed.
Problem is if people are given an inch they will take a mile... Meaning before long they don't use their indicator (we call it a blinker here in the states but I like y'alls version better) at all. I personally ere on the side of caution and use it all the time. Just because something is obvious doesn't mean that's what the driver will do....
When I did my advanced driving (IAM) I was told that to move right you should generally indicate, after all; you are also telling the person in front that you are about to move out, but if you are moving left, since that is where you should be, you generally don't need to. Sometimes it's a good idea to do so, but it's not always needed. I was also taught that until you can see both front headlights of the vehicle you have just passed in your rear view mirror, not your left wing mirror your rear view mirror, it's not safe to pull left.
#18 that needs to go to the police. people like that shouldn't be on the roads!
Bit ironic that #16 says the other bloke has a fragile ego.
Was thinking the cammer is worse than the vehicle being complained about.
The guy in the last clip needs to be reported to his employer....
He has been...
#18 Also note the white SUV turning from the left being cut up by the Wickes van!
This haha
#11 That's a lot of words to explain your lack of safe following distance.
The more I watch dash cam videos on here, the calmer it makes me on the roads. I realised ages ago its simply not worth getting wound up at others bad driving. It happens every day, you cant do anything about it. So long as you are not in any danger and you can anticipate and observe to keep yourself safe, let them get on with it. Drivers speeding, going through red lights, cutting you up with no indicators, all part of daily life on the roads. I don’t beep the horn, I don’t flash, I don’t get angry. Why would I ? Doesn’t change anything. Stay calm folks.
#4 You need to learn the correct use of cruise control. Nobody "forced" you to do anything.
Yes, there are 2 options when approaching a slower vehicle overtaking is one but usually the best option is to gently apply your brakes to slow down.
7:45 jesus a bit close.. Classed as Agressive Driving is that.
He was a bit cross.
Nobody seems to take any notice of the yellow box anymore. But also many of these junctions need upgrading! Unless your caught speeding by a camera there is zero enforcement of traffic rules in the UK.
Hm, more and more box junctions are getting cameras. Easy cash cow for bankrupt councils.
@@huwlewis9059 my road needs it's yellow box extending and camera's on it as we literally can't get out for 3-4 light changes due to people knowingly blocking the junction.
Clip 18 - spot the white car hit the kerb as they tried to pass the lorry as they were turning :)
BOGOF on bad driving in that clip!
I thought it was two lanes turning into two lanes ? All the other vehicles in that queue were two lanes ?
@@ChaseWilder It's 2 lanes yes, but the lorry can't take a corner like a car so when the car went up the inside it ran out of space when the lorry turned
@@Gobtik ahh gotcha. I only caught the bit where it stopped I thought the lorry had just moved lanes. But I get you know. Like how you give them space on roundabouts and don’t pull right up next to them cause you’ll get squished 😂
That's a fantastic piece of advertising for Novus Property Solutions - really shows off their professionalism!
9:19 anyone else noticed that blue HGV in the background?
#11 stop trying to excuse your poor driving. You were behind, if you can’t stop if they do - it’s your fault.
#4 alternative - they were using adaptive cruise control which kept them 2seconds from the car in front. As they were approaching traffic in the distance, the system slowed them to keep that safe distance. They weren't necessarily doing it just to annoy you with your static 56mph cruise control.
Use of the phone is inexcusable though
I agree. If you look at the cars ahead of the golf you can see they are simply matching the speed. Not getting closer or moving away. It was more the Nissan that was the issue.
1:03 anyone else notice that Tesla drivers are the new BMW/Audi drivers?
#4, possibly he's remembered just HOW crappy Bridgwater Services are and decided to go on to the next ones!
2:09 "I've been on cruise control the whole time"
The concept of braking to avoid causing danger didn't even occur to that anti-social trucker. Even worse a driver than the Golf guy on his phone.
#8 - that’s a really bad junction at Hurst Cross - Queen’s Road/Lees Road & King’s Road. Seen many crashes there over the years and I hate it as a pedestrian - had a few close calls. I can’t just run out of the way as I walk with crutches !
Number 13 you could have easily stopped to let Audi through, but no you wanted to make a point.
the Audio could have stayed on the correct side of the road like all the other drivers did
@@george-ev1dq All the 'others' were next to parked cars.
@@terryable-hh4ck correct
#11; that is WHY you are required to maintain a SAFE stopping distance from the vehicle in front...!
One of the great mysteries 😅why do some people drive in the middke of the road? When you get up close to them thats when they move back into their lane.
#17 is a great yet rare example where all of the Audis drove in an exemplary manner.
#15. I am seeing more and more of this every week, especially on the M42 between Solihull and Tamworth. Also, a lot of the trucks involved are aggregate trucks working on HS2. Maybe they think it doesn't apply to them.
What about the tailgating and close pass by the cammer?
Proud moment for Novus Property Solutions
#2, it's an offence to stop in the yellow box; that is what it's there for, to keep it clear by force of law. Trouble is, it's rarely enforced and regularly ignored...
#6 - probably over his towing limit as well
#13 - he could have moved over, but also, he was committed to the overtake, so maybe cammer should have approached slower and let him past. Both could have done better
At 9:22 we have the bonus bad driving of the Wickes lorry, coming from road on the left, cutting the corner, and forcing the white SUV driver to stop and then mount the kerb !
3:26 #7 Hands off the police. If we ever need them we need them ASAP, so forgetting to indicate is not even on the scale.
@terryable-hh4ck My god found you blowing hot an cold about them twice at least.
@terryable-hh4ck So your at the top of the page saying we should always indicate and slagging those cops off saying you were one once and they should have done so now you are here sayng hands off the police down here on the same subject at #7, that is what I mean you blow hot and cold on the cops within the same video even.
You obviously cant make up your mind wether you want a haircut shit or shampoo.
6:23 could have done with slowing down rather than charging into that situation!
#2 nice to see Bilston feature 😂
And Hagley
#4,I get what the trucker was saying about the golf forcing the Nissan to slow down, but ultimately, the Nissan could have overtook the golf and sorted that none issue ..but I can imagine it's very frustrating having to deal with these clowns on a daily basis so hats off to you chap. 👍..and I hope you reported him for using his phone 📱.
Number 12 - seen that behaviour a couple of times now.
#6. That’s definitely over loaded.
#9 you okay to be driving that?😂
5:56 no. Near miss caused by following too closely.
I mean they could see them braking and didn't think to themselves I know maybe I'll step on my breaks ...
Number 7, learn the highway code. Its not a requirement to indicate going from right to left lane as the left lane is the default lane and to be expected they go back into it when overtaking you. You only really need to indicate left when turning off the motorway or turning left
Remember all that traffic lights are not advisory only, Roundabouts are a free-for-all and there is an ongoing national competition to see who can drive up the arris of the vehicle in front.
#11 you should be cautious in that situation as you can clearly tell they’re unsure about what to do
Guy knows its a blind corner with cars on wrong side but races in anyway and gets annoyed why people on wrong side, genius
#16. I live near a town called Yarm that has on street parking. And there is always some tw@t driving through at 5 mph looking for a parking space, not caring they cause huge tailbacks. Yet if you beep them for causing an obstruction, they get annoyed.
Entitlement is a growing plague.
“Entitlement is a growing plague” also is using your horn inappropriately.
@@danielhoward8149 So, you think that beeping your horn at someone creating a rolling hazard is inappropriate?
How ironic that you talk about entitlement when exhibiting an entitled attitude towards always have a free flowing road in front of you and never having to extend a little bit of patience to anybody else.
@@mijimonmaster If you need to be told the answer to that you clearly haven't read the Highway Code or you would already know the answer, which is NOT "the horn may be used to express impatience or petulance".
@@mijimonmaster I suppose someone slowing down to turn down a side road is also a “rolling hazard” or a tractor or push bike? Pull the other one.
8:51 the only tools in this van are the driver and passenger. Lol 😜
1:43 annoying isn't it , like when two lorries are elephant racing on a two lane 5 frigging miles to pass sometimes !!
#18 I think anyone who believes the horn is for "telling off" is hardly qualified to call anyone else "immature".
What I hate is that everyone is in such a rush to get from a to b they drive too fast for road conditions.
#18 - I know the road well, both lanes used to go to the traffic lights, with a feeder lane going left to a junction to join the road heading to Stourbridge. There used to be no issues with traffic here, then some bright spark decided to change to lanes so the left lane takes the left turn and only the right lane goes straight on to the lights. Whilst there is signage, many vehicles make the same mistake as the van here, with similar results. in my view, very poor road layout change causing significant potential for traffic accidents.
There was no mistake. Look at the clip once again. And never use Novum Structures.
#10 A. The Range Rover probably couldn’t see the old lady as she was concealed by the green Subaru. That said, he should slow down and look properly next time.
B. It was a very congested car park with a 10 mph speed limit. That blue Ford must have slowed the cammer down by, oh, at least one or two seconds. How very irritating that must be🤦♂️
#13 Doesn’t help when cars are parked on a blind corner forcing cars onto the wrong side of the road into on coming traffic.
#4 you might be surprised to hear this, but there is actually no law that says you are not allowed to turn your cruise control off.
6:13. #12..Black Cat RAB is a ball of confusion currently. Road works/ temporary signs. Caution advised.
those drivers must be Jamaicans 🤣
5:50 Still your fault if you run into that car. Even worse, you could see that driver being unsure yet your speed and distance judgement was poor.
To be fair to #10 at 4:50 the little old lady is coming from behind a big car and the position of the discovery they've probably not seen her you've seen her because of your angle from your position at 5:06 (the position of where the discovery was you cant see behind the same car
5:45 poor reaction time to break . Check your reflexes before slating people’s breaking.
#18: Novus Property Solutions, not very good advertising is it? Cutting into the braking space of a lorry then then giving them the finger???
Why do people like, the Novus Property Solutions van driver , always double down when they are called out for driving like that? I will Never figure it out. There were 2 lanes and it got him nowhere he wouldn't have been if he had just stayed in lane 1. Just another MGIF knobhead I guess.
Typical halfwit " Tradesman" who would probably fail a drugs wipe for weed or coke. Probably both.
This always amazes me also - I can only assume it's because they truly believe that they're in the right, or that they're completely unaware that they're such bad drivers, and get angry because people constantly tell them off. Both of which are very worrying thoughts.
But yes, if someone does something deliberately illegal, dangerous and stupid - just leave them to it. They tend to be the type that will react with an immediate temper tantrum, and it isn't worth it. Oh, and send the clip to the Police.
And, in the case of liveried vans, CC their employer.
Remember, clever people understand their education levels and understand that they don't know things - and usually strive to better themselves. Stupid people don't know that they're stupid. Also, for there to be an average intelligence - half the world has to be below that line.
#11 Nobody to blame but yourself, following too closely and then late breaking when they are clearly braking but you dont respond, could be anything in the road ahead of them. But congratz you did yourself.
3:18 common case of do as i say not as i do
Nope, a simple case of advanced drivers understanding what an indicator is for and when its use is needed - and when it isn't.
Because there were no blues and twos, with them driving briskly and clearly with purpose, I should think that they're on a driving course - meaning the passengers in each car will be two of the most highly skilled road drivers on the planet. People viewing this video and believing the police drivers did anything wrong, really should view a video course on advanced driving. There is nothing wrong with indicating in that situation, but equally there is reason to do so either.
Road craft teaches us not to add unnecessary tasks to our cognitive load when there is no benefit to us or other road users to do so. Including indicating.
@xirv8731 To use an indicator when it's not needed may only confuse, if it benifits someone then yes when not benifiting why?
Do you go around indicating on an empty motorways at night because someone just may come down the next slip lane onto the motorway when nothing is behind you? or on empty roads when there is nothing to indicate for. (IAM Roadsmart advanced driver) and response driver.
But hang on did your instructor not tell you about this?
No need to indicate, as they rightly saw no need for a response or alert to the filming driver given the huge gap in front.
@@jayvaisey5660 If you don't mind I will steal that if I have to explain this to some one else as well please.
The very first clip shows a lot of the attitude I see a lot of today. I'll do what I want, you emergency brake and I'll give you the finger as I drive off because there's nothing you can do about it.
0:55 and 2:30 can't possibly have licences and/or insurance. I can only assume the cars were half-inched.
I haven't heard the term half-inched in years!
@@sharnehawkins4702 I don't know where that came from to be honest.
I can't remember the last time I heard it either.
where is the first one cause i swear that’s my dad😂
04:05, did the cammer not see the obstruction and be more cautious? Zero point in trying to overtake there in that situation.
4:20 The Corsa drive should hand her licence back.
5:49If you nearly rear end a car that suddenly stops it you not paying attention and being to close, try to learn to drive
#9 Should have been more aware of that happening as you had only just passed them all sounding you horn would have been useful and it would have been correct use of the horn, surprised your training is not up to scratch perhaps it's called anticipation.
So you ain’t blaming the car what’s going into a new lane without checking if it’s clear or even indicating? Also sounds like a lorry so could be in the blind spot. Lorry drive was nice enough to let 2 cars in doesn’t need to let any in at all. I hope you don’t drive 🤣
@@WilliamHolmes-fm4gq Just cause I didn't say it does not mean I don't blame them and it was from the revs only one which is ideal under merge in turn in these occassions so yes but it was still a very obvious scenario which Is why I said she should have sounded the horn for the one/s that she knows will be right in the blind spot having only just passed them.
#13 Pathetic agressive driving by the cammer.
#11 5:40 slow breaking ... I know i wont step on my breaks lets just carry on going the speed i am and almost crash into them and get annoyed at them. What a 🤡
The last one, a Tommy Tanker in the van. Lol how wrong in everything he did was, a right T,T
6:34 cars already overtaking parked cars on their side have right of way. Read the Highway Code.
Some of these easily fit into "bellend with dashcam" category.
In clip #15 the cammers' passenger could have licked the corner of that lorry without putting their head out of the window they overtook that close
#3 what is the point of the long blowing of the horn? They don't care how bad a driver you think they are, and you could provoke a road rage incident. If you plan to report the other driver for that road rage, the police will dismiss your report as soon as they see you responding in this way, claiming that you were a contributing factor in the incident
3:28 not using indicators for a lane change on a dual carriageway? Crime of the century and truly worth including in the video.
#13 song name?
3:23 Guess the police have their own rules and don't have to follow normal rules..
#13 driving too fast into danger, it was blind on his side so how do you expect to be seen? A little bit of courtesy from you would have turned this into nothing. Pure selfish entitled driving there!
#7 isn’t very bright lmao
Since when has the hard shoulder been a slip road?
I'm guessing you're referring to #6 at 2:46?
6:24 #13. Common sense required. He had started his 'run', you could have pulled into the driveway, which you did eventually.
So many clueless cammers 😂😂😂😂😂
That #11 haha. The driver that sent the video was at fault whatever happened.
#13 could have backed up and not complain. Not a drama
No wonder the country is bankrupt with the amount of money the police spend on their vehicles! Do they need luxury German automobiles? I saw one in an X3 M40i the other day! Insane
#15 Correct, they were in the wrong lane. However… you were driving illegally too, leaving not enough braking distance for yourself just as you overtook, then again as you cut across a fully loaded highway maintenance truck… Congratulations on joining your fellow criminal
#1 "Driver was reported..." Who to - the Hurty Feels Police in Toytown? Get a grip.
A long sounding horn from a truck is equivalent to the same language that gets you banned from CZcams.
Indicators? the highway code says that you should. It doesn't say that you must. but if you are in an accident and not using them and that was deemed to be part of the cause of the accident....
