    #28 23:00 So many things wrong in this clip. First, just because you want to merge onto another road and you're signalling, doesn't mean those already on that road have to give way to you! An indicator in a signal of intent, not right of way! So many drivers forget that In order to merge they have to cross a give way line... The incredible level of entitlement shown by the womble in the BMW is extraordinary. Then he finishes it off in style by effectively assaulting his own passenger/girlfriend. Reall class act that one!!

    As a non-driver, people like the guy in clip #9 both amaze and frighten me. They put other people's lives at risk by breaking the law on the road and they 100% know that they're doing it. But they also don't seem to be able to handle the fact that somebody might sound a horn at them for doing something that could end their life. Like the caption on the video says, they seem to be desperate to go fast, but they always have time to stop and abuse the person they just put in danger.

      Overtaking 2 vehicles on the approach to a bend where he obviously didn't have enough space to do so (evidenced by the fact he nearly had a head-on with oncoming traffic). I would suggest driving without due care as a minimum? (Driving that falls below the standard expected of a competent driver; or. Driving that does not show reasonable consideration for other persons using the road.) I think that would constitute breaking the law. But lets not split hairs and argue legal definitions. We can change the term "breaking the law" with "driving like a brainless bell-end" and the statement is completely accurate.

The bloke in the light car who first overtook the dark one, then stopped in a dangerous place to 'mouth off' the dark car driver for being in the right, being a classic example.

      common sense stopped being a thing back when the life's experiences stopped being as common for everyone. Somewhere around the start of industrial revolution when people stopped being predominantly farmers. Now what is common for one person is completely foreign to the next. Life became a lot more compartmentalized and obfuscated. You can only have commonalities in similar "fields" or upbringings.

    #13 the cammer car is in the wrong on this one. The sign at 9:13 clearly shows that both right lanes can be used for the A5(E) so the camera car should have gone into the 4th lane. that said, the lane markings are slightly wrong as the 2nd lane didn't have A5 written on it, only having A38 listed but if you look on google maps now, it has both A38 and A5 written on the 2nd lane. With all that said though it does excuse the other cars stupid retaliation.

    • @ChrisAndCats
      @ChrisAndCats Před rokem +3

      It's standard practice in UK to move over to let a merging vehicle join unless there's traffic to the right preventing you from doing so. It aids the flow of traffic and reduces risk of collision on the slip road. To not move over when you safely can is acting like an arsehole for no reason. However that doesn't justify any of this brake checking stopping nonsense either.

      I had not heard of the term before either. I pass them and then cut across to the left lane. Sadly they never move over, but I make the point.
      In the case of clip #21, the car driver who appears at 16:52 uses the middle lane correctly, but moves over to the right lane to block the van driver, then slows down. When the van driver moves over to the middle lane to avoid the blocking move, the car driver again positions himself in front of the van. Both moves come into the category of dangerous driving. Any police officer seeing that would immediately pull the car driver over.
      Is there an accepted term for a driver who dodges from lane to lane to block another driver in this manner? I am calling it 'lane dancing', but want to know if another term exists.

    #3 part 1 all lanes are marked that exit 2 is permitted so the cammer puts themselves in that position. There seems to be an assumption where many people believe that the car behind has priority, as is generally known a vehicle rear ending another vehicle it is the vehicle behind which is usually found at fault (not always). However on this occasion the cammer is definitely at fault. Obviously in the second clip the vehicle cutting in is at fault however I feel the cammer is more upset at not being able to find the right gear than with the manoeuvre! 🤣

      It's the same with sexism. This poster doesn't do it but there are so many dashcam channels that will show 20 guys driving like bell ends with no reference to the fact they are men and then one woman driving badly and it's always clearly labelled 'female driver'. I don't even think they know they're doing it.

      Lol, I thought that too! The on-screen text is wrong and contradicts itself. The pickup shouldn't have pulled out, sure, but the car driver had loads of time to slow down, he just chose to keep driving at the same speed to prove he was in the right, then was too close to be able to stop when the truck braked. Was it worth it? I guess not...

    Mirror, signal, manoeuvre is such an easy and safe way to remember how to drive. However, the “I’m signalling,therefore I’m moving into this lane or whatever” morons couldn’t care less. As your very informative and interesting videos show, these idiots still carry on regardless. For the sake of repeating what is always obvious, the most entitled drivers of cars like BMWs or Mercs tend to do this the most. I also totally agree with your comments of not hanging about next to big trucks. I’ve now subscribed and am looking forward to more of your content thanks.

      Yes - there are a good few of those in this video. The cam drivers, in quite a few instances, have sufficient and sometimes ample opportunity to simply lift off the accelerator and exercise some caution. I'd rather let someone be a fool, and avoid a collision entirely than have to go through an insurance claim. The mind boggles.

  • @tinyrodent2821
    @tinyrodent2821 Před rokem +3

    6:00 - Definitely not to condone the actions of the civic driver. It was a bad place to double overtake in any car, let alone one which lacks that much power. But in regards to "these people are in such a rush". I whole-heartedly disagree. I often drive the A57 Snake Pass road and often I just enjoy the drive. This road looks very similar in regards to the surroundings, so it's probably a 50/60mph road, and the cammer and the car in front are clearly well under that (doesn't condone overtaking on a blind corner). I would have waited for a much better place to overtake, but I think it's incorrect to assume that most people like to drive quicker than others simply because they want to get somewhere quicker.
    8:51 - Looks like a vape/E-Cig, from their reaction time I'd assume they were distracted either trying to use it, or filling it up.
    25:00 - Ignoring the obviously worse driver. That's some great lane management from the cam car /s. This is why our motoroways are so terrible for traffic, you are clearly not catching that van in the first lane anytime soon, so move over and stop forcing people into the 3rd lane.
    37:40 - "barge in" bit embarrassing from the editor here. The BMW has the absolute right of way through the fact that he was ahead of the clio at a merging point. The clio tried to close the gap on them. The BMW driver ends up being a typical BMW driver though and immediately becomes the knob in the clip.
    50:00 - Absolute embarrassment for the cammer in this one. Submitting this tells me one thing, you think you are right. Read up on the highway code for using merge lanes especially at road construction. You are committing a traffic offence by failing to maintain your lane, and statistically you are making the traffic worse by preventing 2 lanes of moving traffic to merge. But yet again, another BMW driver being a BMW driver and becoming the knob of the clip.

  • @marth3116

    Clip #80 at 51:30
    This happens on a route I commute through approximately twice a week. There are long term road works and alternating lane closures on one strech of 40mph dual carriageway.
    From entering that strech of road there is usual around 300/400 yards of road where both lanes are open and in the past few months I've been stuck behind the same BMW X5 who delights in riding the white line preventing people from using a perfectly good open lane before the merge.
    I cannot wrap my head around how people can be so entitled, and have such sense of self importance that they believe they have the right to control how others use the road, especially as the only tangible effect their actions have taken is to increase congestion and make hundreds of other peoples days worse.
    The BMW driver is probably just as fustrated by the actions of that complete wanker as everyone else but actually said something about it. Personally I think he did the right thing to challenge the cammer but didn't do so effectively.

    #19, at the end of that slip-road, it turns off and is immediately followed by another slip-road to the M60 clockwise. Drivers already on the road cannot pull over to help merging traffic, as they are then unable to get back over in time for the junction that they need.

  • @KarstenMoerman

    #17 I was always told running into the back of somebody is always at least 50% your fault because you should always be ready to emergency stop. The cammer was either on his phone or deliberately crashed to punish because he had plenty of time to stop. He would have been slowing for the line of traffic in front anyway

    8:00 - if you drive through deep water, its the exhaust that is the problem. way before the air intake. keep in a low gear and high rev the engine. This will keep higher pressure in the exhaust system keeping the water out.

    • @tinyrodent2821
      @tinyrodent2821 Před rokem

      Water in your exhaust is better than breaking your pistons by trying to compress water. It's preferable to just find an alternative route, or just go slow enough to not cause it to spill over. The only reason the VW's engine cut out is because of the wake caused by the other car getting into the engine and becoming hyrdolocked
