Just retired today after 40 years of truck driving and won’t miss it one bit
Happy and healthy retirement to you.
All the best on your retirement
How come?
I did hear someone say that half your salary goes on fines and that you often get the blame when a car driver causes a crash.
Nice one,, i hope you had a good happy career , I wish you a great retirement for doing such a hard job that's essential for everyone 👍.
I don't doubt it😂 Good on ya dude for doing it well enough to retire!
Please tell me #8 was reported to Police. That was dangerous driving and could easily have killed the couple on the zebra
Couldn’t agree more. That should be a job loser and a licence loser.
it overtook the lead vehicle inside the zig zag lines, but i would not be surprised if the police did turn round and say not enough evidence.
they would not be interested, no rainbows there or peaceful uk flag waving demonstrators to attack
@@douglasreid699 If that had been in Lancashire the police wold be on it right away. There is loads of evidence of a number of offences.
@@bobtudbury8505
“The number of reports filed in 2023 increased by 30% compared with the previous year, with more than 33,500 videos submitted to police via the National Dash Cam Safety Portal until the end of November.
About 70% of the submissions lead to police action, ranging from warning letters to penalty points and prosecution.”
Really hope the Royal Mail driver was sacked for that appalling driving. Should also lose their driving licence too.
Yeah, he really needs sorting.
@@terryable-hh4ck Post Haste.
@@terryable-hh4ck😂😂I see what you did there👍
Lose their license is a tad on the extreme side but they shouldn’t be driving a big vehicle like that agreed
@@benblakemore745 you think people should be allowed to continue to drive after such dangerous driving, where they nearly killed two people who were crossing the road? How odd……
#11. It's not he distance gained but the thrill of the over/under taking that is important to that type of driver.
#8 There's a recent vid by West Midlands Police (I think) that shows someone doing exactly what that post office van did - they got a fine and points. Appalling driving
They got a suspended prison sentence.
@@davids8324 Yes indeed - just looked it up. That Royal Mail driver could be in deep do-do
I had someone do that to me when crossing. Called the police and they said cars don't need to stop. No joke.
@@kinkaito5433You should have got the name of the person who told you that and then asked the Chief Constable if they agree.
Overtaking the car nearest the crossing marked by zig zag lines is an offence under the road traffic act, should be reported to the police, and to the traffic commissioners office too as it involves a HGV
#8 That Royal Mail Driver needs sacking and prosecuting, atrocious driving!
#8 Terrifying! Almost a double death and a head-on collision in one go.
5:10 - royal mail truck. If that had been reported to his bosses he (or she) would be looking at a disciplinary at the least.. Lucky those pedestrians didn't carry on walking across absolute madness
Should have been reported to the police!
0:40 No he didn't, he'd stopped.
Agree - no problem, let him go.
Totally shocked at Royal Mail van antics at 5.11, used to be trained and had superb driving skills, where has THAT gone!
The driver (using the term loosely of course) at 6.30 tends to get frustrated probably as everyone he passes catches up!
At 5:11 you mean.
Agency drivers now I bet
7:20 Constantly hoofing it up the road and then jumping on the brakes is costing him/her money too
#7 - Appalling driving by the Royal Mail Driver - that just gets the company a very bad name - nearly killing two people on a Zebra crossing!!!!
Should be reported to the Royal Mail - bad driving and overtaking on a zig zag - 3 points I believe.
Do you mean #8?
@@bluecardholder Should also be reported to the police.
#5 nice bit of tailgating
Cars get more plentiful whilst intelligence does not.
Some of the cammers should try driving in London. Many of these are total non events compared to what I encountered yesterday. No I don’t have a dashcam
Almost every roundabout in South London, drivers pull out in front of traffic that has right of way.
I went to Gatwick from the sticks and had to avoid someone in a bmw cutting over their lane into mine on a bend, and someone totally ignoring the lanes on a roundabout. London is crazy!
I wish more people would watch clip #11 and realise how utterly pointless it is to overtake most vehicles on 30mph urban roads. You wind up being slowed down at junctions any way. In especially heavy traffic a bicycle with a reasonably fit rider can maintain almost the same average speed. On my bike I usually reach my destination only about a minute or two slower than it would have taken me in the car.
#10, I'd park that one as a shitty combination of circumstances. Cyclist seems to be behaving, coming out of a driveway, we've no way of telling if Audi had an alternative to reversing out, Focus was clearly concentrating on NOT passing too close to cyclist and was late spotting the Audi. Look, nobody got hurt, nothing got damaged; it's one of those things that happens occasionally, so let's not get too animated about it...
Couldn't agree more. Watched it a couple of times, if the focus hadn't tried the overtake and stayed behind the cyclist then no problem. No foul no harm.
Absolutely agree 👍👍
“We've no way of telling if Audi had an alternative to reversing out”.
Of course there was an alternative; a safe and sensible one, too. The Audi driver should have reversed *on* to the driveway.
There’s really no excuse for reversing out onto a road… especially a busy or main road.
Tell you what, it’s not the cyclists fault, it’s not the Audi’s fault, it’s the overtaking vehicle’s fault. Overtake only if it is safe to do so. Also although not ideal you don’t know the circumstances of the Audi reversing out, they may be visiting, there could have been circumstances which prevented reversing onto the drive, anything. Whatever the reason life happened as it did and there’s only one person putting anyone in danger.
@@eddherring4972 So if a main rule of driving is to "give way to oncoming traffic", explain how the Audi is achieving this
#3, the emerge onto the roundabout - brown trouser time!
I'm a bus driver. Last night at approx 17:00 (5pm), it was dark due to being winter, some idiot almost caused a pile up on the motorway.
I was driving on the nearside (left hand lane) of a motorway slip road which has a long bend. A car came up the offside (right hand lane) of me and remained at about the last 5ft of the end of my bus preventing me from merging with traffic at the end of the slip road. There were no other vehicles in front of me at the merge point.
The car driver then went onto the motorway on the nearside lane and kept to the side of me preventing me from entering the motorway. I was forced to come to an emergency stop resulting in passangers almost being hurt. When i explained to my manager what had happened i was told "next time just hit the car".
The fool in the jag getting nowhere 😂😂😂. Had a driver pass me at about 85 mph in a 60, passing all in his way. At the roundabout 10 miles down the road exactly ONE car infront of me. 🤣🤣. A beep and a wave to make sure he saw me.
That Toyota hitting the parked car..." Serving the vulnerable and the homeless"....written on his Toyota's tailgate.
6:26 At first I though that was the Chamberlain Clock on Vyse Street, and had never noticed the similar clock on Aston Rd.
#6 You weren't exactly in a rush
also if he had pulled over more he would be blocking pavements
I like the comments more than the video clips.
love you bro,, you guts are a different breed
That A38 junction one minute in is a nightmare. Some idiot rear ended us there earlier this year. Just accelerated into the back of us (he assumed we'd entered the junction when we hadn't).
The problem is there's a separate slip road and flyover for southbound traffic entering the city, rather than continuing on the A38. This means the north bound traffic is hardly ever interrupted, so the local traffic wanting to enter the roundabout hardly ever have a gap. You have to accelerate very aggressively when there is a gap.
Could you tell us where the junction is?
@@frogandspannerLooks like Kingsway Roundabout near Derby and the cammer was on A38 northside of the roundabout heading south 👍
Timestamp would also be helpful
#13 Perhaps if you tried really hard you could respond and accelerate even slower to annoy more people.
Is it a race then?
@@CrazedFandango No, it's about driving reasonably on the roads.
@@bustestlucloc4630 Therein lies the problem; different versions of what is reasonable.
@@CrazedFandango There is some truth in that. However, the fact that he managed to irritate so many people in such a short time is a clue.
@@bustestlucloc4630 Haha! Possibly that, or that there are more impatient drivers than there are patient ones.
I've been rarely driving since the pandemic and I tend not to be in a hurry on the rare trips I make.
#6 didn't even happen to me and I've had to take my pills watching it so I don't stroke out.
haha I felt that rage too
#6 Why are you driving in circles?
#5 only a fool breaks the 2 second rule
Starset playing at the end respect sir
What terrible driving on this video! Thanks for an "interesting" 2023, and Happy New Year from snowy Stockholm to you and all your viewers.
2:43 easily done, that parked car clearly came out of nowhere
#13 My Pension came 2 times until you started rolling.
#6. If he did that in front of me he would find his van somewhere else when he came back to look for it.
Yeah he should have let cammer out tbh, but then cammer also had chance to get past @4:20 but made a big deal of it.
Both could do with more lessons.
I wouldn’t have minded, if he had stuck a hand up and said thanks, but didn’t see anything
He did wave at the end to apologise for the dreadful inconvenience of the long delays suffered by the cammer.@@neiltaylor513
Yeah, yeah, big mouth.
Of course he would.
Surprise surprise the Toyota van has an expired MOT since June 2015
5:30 Here’s an idea… If there’s a faster vehicle approaching, it’s ok to delay your overtake until it is past you.
Bonus points if you make someone slam on their brakes in the outside lane when there is nothing behind them. Probably the single biggest contributor alongside poor lane discipline for causing traffic slow down where there isn't even very heavy traffic.
0:34 it's that bloody burger van! - I used to live in the house on the right with the blue and orange bags outside.
#5 Can anyone work out where the third man on the scene appeared from?
#9 guessing you pulled in to shortly, eliminating ample breaking distance for the Audi as they seem to have done the same
Braking, sigh
@@davetrousers Too, too.
#4 1:17 that’s a bad junction on the A6 in Hazel Grove Stockport. Possibly should be made no right turn with an extra lane where there’s space further on
6:13 I’d actually say the Focus was technically at fault. Obviously couldn’t see past the end of their nose before doing an overtake and they were on the wrong side of the road. The TT driver got onto their side well before anyone approached. Calling them an idiot was very harsh. Only thing they possibly did wrong was have to reverse onto the road, but they didn’t do it unsafely. Look at the full picture before calling someone an idiot.
Yep I agree. Audi was not at fault at all
#4. The cammer went on and on and on...
#11 is legitimately allowed to use the left lane, leave them to it I say.
Cammer is sat in the middle lane for no reason at 7:19 which turns into the right hand lane of two even though the left lane is for straight on leading to the left lane ahead, if someone is driving in the right hand lane and the left one is empty don't be surprised if people decide to actually use it as intended.
#6 complaining about ignorant white van drivers when he is driving a white van and says its OK to block the road when you have no other choice.
Me thinks he is a hypocrite.
Last one, how did, so many get in front??
5:32 What on earth was the Cammer car doing ? Pulls out for an overtake but forgets to press the accelerator pedal 😂😂
#5 Stafford! 😃
12# this is why you never flash/wave someone out
#5 2:43 drifting to the left and only just misses the blue car. Is it someone on their mobile phone rather than a puncture, the puncture being caused by the accident? No brake lights come on and surely if there was a pre-accident flat tyre it would be have evident to the driver that if they couldn't steer adequately they were about to have an accident and needed to brake. I think it's a typical mobile phone distraction accident. Also when the driver gets out he doesn't look down at the left front wheel, as if looking for a reason for the deviation.
#8 not excusing the dismal RM van driving, but I know that zebra crossing well; it’s really poorly situated for cars coming around a roundabout taking a left. It’s just suddenly ‘there’ and walking across it is often hair-raising due to this.
No.4…. That set of traffic lights is a massive bottleneck. The right hand lane is a straight on and a turn right to go down another road. And just beyond the junction is a bus stop where there’s normally 2 buses parked before heading into Stockport and Manchester. I try to avoid it where I can
Postman Pat, Postman Pat
Postman Pat ignores his highway code
Middle of the day
Driving up the wrong
Pat's gonna cause an accident someday soon
7:45b that is two lanes going into one it looks like and the driver takes about 20 mins to set off from green light.
#8: surprised that the Audi stpped at the crossing 😂
Wasn’t going to was he?
Only stopped when the pedestrians were right in front of him.
#3 I see similar all the time, as if they've decided to go whether anyone's coming or not.
And in this case, it's raining and they play chicken with a bloomin great lorry!
The road markings are so poor it is difficult to determine how the drivers should have acted. There does not appear to be a give way line for the Audi, and lane markings seem to suggest the vehicle is in a lane reserved for the left turn, so the lorry should not have been moving into that lane.
@@frogandspanner I hope you are just trying to be provocative rather than sincere.
@@charliejackman2953 In what way might you not think I was not being sincere?
I was simply questioning the road markings, and pointing out that the markings as perceptible in the video seemed to indicate that the Audi might have priority in its lane.
If I am mistaken in that observation I'd appreciate it if you could point out the regulatory signs and road markings that contradict me.
@@frogandspanner OK, well there would have been numerous roundabout signs before the actual junction.
Coupled with the huge row of roundabout black and white chevron type signs slap bang right in front of them, I believe the clues were there.
Maybe everyone else giving way may have been a hint too?
Maybe the "give way to the right" rule may also apply?
Either way, excusing the Audi because of faint lines when all of the above apply I believe to be pandering to a driver who obviously shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a car.
@@charliejackman2953 The caution of others in different lanes is not an indication of what the lane markings were, and as there was no information about the junction we cannot know.
Chevron signs are not unique to roundabouts.
The main indication of a requirement to give way would be a regulatory _give way_ sign (not shown in the video) and give way road markings (not apparent in the video).
#10 "Who's"
It's annoying that the decent drivers are forced to share the roads with useless idiots. How many times do you see phones being shuffled into pockets after accidents?
5:59 who's, not whose.
3:22 you told us, you didn't say anything to him!?
#8 Yes the RM driver needs to have the book thrown at him but the driver of the blue Audi wasn't too clever either - look at how quickly they stopped, as if they didn't expect there to be pedestrians using a pedestrian crossing!
#11 LV66 YNZ not on the DVLA web - Foreign Car perhaps
Not sure how the Jag owner thinks he owns the roads... because I do...!
#2 Audi - much to my suprise
makes me sad everyone pushes past each other. Where are you going that's so important? The Co-op? Bloody hell.
I have heard the one that went in the canal got re shelled. But as you say good be another rumour.
Oh the temptation: If I had a passenger who could drive, I'd encourage them to nip out and remove the white van obstruction while the delivery was taking place. Move it, say, 2 miles down the road. Just trying to keep the traffic flowing officer...
#5 The 'van' appeared to be drifting to the left, and at 2:50 it has a flat left front tyre, even though there was no impact of tyre and car or kerb. I suspect that the van driver had been caught out by a puncture that forced him leftwards.
The front wheel looks at a very odd angle too
Not surprised the front wheel is at an angle with that impact…bent tie rods most likely
The puncture I would say was a result of the impact and not the cause. It seemed to be a distracted drift to the left…radio? Phone? Sat Nav?
First vid lorry driver….now you know what it feels like for something to pull out on you with no cares given.
0:22 Why did you sound your horn?
No other road users needed to be alerted to your presence at that point.
number 3 had a death wish
#5 have you tried reaching out the change the gears for the car in front? I suspect you could almost reach.
?
@@Rhysbailey52 driving while being as close as some would park. Tailgating
Given that with the car in front coming to a sudden total stop. he managed to come to a halt before the incident location without an emergency stop, it's clear he was travelling a reasonable distance behind.
@@BaalsMistress I'd have been double that distance.
I was uncomfortable watching the video and honestly expected the footage to be the person in front doing a brake check gone wrong.
@BaalsMistress the dashcam makes them look further away than they actually were, judging by the lack of visibility the camera had up the road the driver could see nothing... yeah they're lucky they could stop in time but they're still far too close!
The TT driver is guilty of dangerous behaviour brought on by laziness but if I’m not mistaken those are long white lines with small gaps that spells danger obviously because of the houses there you shouldn’t cross them unless you’re absolutely sure it’s safe would have been better to hang back till your past the houses you never know some idiot might reverse out a driveway so I think both of them are wrong .
If some of the people with the dash cams did not pull away so slow they may not get cut up
#10 I think it's sad that you need it written in the Highway Code to be considerate and safe when passing cyclists! And what part of that situation could have been the cyclist's fault?
#11 cammer, did you report him? It's the only way to deal with people like that.
Was clip 10 driving without a license, then?
2:40 I literally can’t understand how that is possible no reason behind it at all
Probably on the phone.
No 2 is a complete planker
A think that loon truck driver needs mental attention for talking too him self crazy 😂
0:13 try adjusting your speed according to the hazards presented. And the horn is not meant to be used to rebuke. Typical awful driving from another 'professional' driver.
Garennteed no 5 was on these phone
A motorist's ability to be as stupid as possible at precisely the wrong moment has evidently become the norm. 🤔😉
Hm .. whenever I see yellow number plates I'm reminded of the bad joke about dutch drivers.. "The Dutch can't drive - because everybody with a yellow number plate (spoiler they all have yellow number plates) failed driving school at least three times before finally receiving their driver's license" - but when I see the drivers shown in your video compilation .. I guess it contains some grain of truth
"Whose at fault?".
You mean 'who's'.
Most of these clips are really tame, try riding a motorbike 60 miles everyday then you'll really see the scary moves these idiots make.
Its mad how easy driving is and how so many people fail at its simplicity... if you put your mind to just driving rather than think about when your next going to twist out your next shit you will not have a problem 😉👍
The white van delivering parcels is particularly aggravating as you can see he had plenty of room to pull on to the driveway or right off to the side. Ridiculous.
6:00 'Who's' at fault?'. Not, 'whose'..'.
What a very informative comment.
@@garyboyle695 That's precisely what it is. It's also one that I suspect has gone over your head.
There are more self-appointed Grammar Police about than actual Police these days... ĺ
@@jamjarthecat4205 It's a shame the educational system and parents have failed in so many cases.
I don’t know what #2 is bitching about🙄
The fact that he didn't flash the van driver out in front of him tells you all you need to know.
3:08 I can just imagine taxi driver "fuckinell mate you came outta nowhere"
#6 Given the state of the road I would have done the same as the delivery driver. It looked very slippery.
Yep, I guess the cammer never has parcels delivered. The van driver is just having to earn a living, granted without perhaps all the thank you manners he might have but is it really a big deal?
ZERO justification for abandoning the van in the middle of the road. Only an entitled, arrogant, selfish twat would do that.
0:07 When fully loaded, going down hill, approaching a busy junction, a professional driver would slow down and be prepared for the unexpected. But for cammers it's the others that must be professionals. The 'horn' indicates his feeling or expressing distress and annoyance, especially because of his inability to change or achieve something.
0:43 Why are the majority of cammers so selfish and self-centered ?
6:48 Yes that's all true but the stupid, useless, annoying and irritating 'horn' is by far even worst.
7:31 Overtaking from the left slow or stopped traffic at speed is a recipe for collisions.
Crap drivers defend crap drivers, so I can only assume you're an extremely crap driver.
No6 Evri driver
Why don’t truck drivers stop moaning, they should’ve stayed on at school and got a betting education so they wouldn’t have to be soapy lorry drivers.
The state of the captions these pathetic dash-cammers are putting on their videos... "I blew my horn at him and he made a rude gesture at me. Boo hoo...'
You aren't supposed to blow your horn to tell someone off. I'd absolutely love it if the police went through all these dash cam vids and prosecuted every illegal use of the horn - the fines would pay for a good few hospitals, and the roads would become a lot quieter and less stressful.
more "nobs" behind the ameras me thinks....
#6. A non event. He waves sorry /thanks at the end. Intolerance rules ok?
I am still trying to work this one out. The caption states ample room but the van is half on the pavement and there is still no room.
It looks like one of those non events where you just have to wait behind. Cant imagine what the cammer is like on bin day
He pulls out in front of another vehicle knowing full well that he is about to stop again to deliver his packages, then Completely blocks the road to go off delivering, and that is a non event? If he did that on his driving test he would not currently be in possession of a driving licence. I hope you don’t have a driving licence if you think that was acceptable. Forget about Intolerance, how about arrogance, not giving a toss about anybody else and being an entitled twat?
Walter, first stop 16 seconds, second stop 17 seconds. Delay of the week? I don't think so. Also second stop, room to pass on the right. I do have a driving licence - 53 years - and object to be being told I don' t have one for a petty incident like that. These days I remain calm during driving 'incidents, then get on with my life.@@waltersobchak1719
You're an idiot if you think blocking the road is fine.
@@smilerbob Happy new year, I see you've met Scowler Walt, who's still determined to share a miserable one with as many as possible.
7:42 Try using the pedal on the right when pulling away. No wonder people passed on the right before the merge, you were still doing 5mph...
the first car overtook him as the light changed. We cant see to his right but clearly the other 2 drivers decided to follow suit instead of filter in behind. Your the kind of person who has that "noone can overtake me, ill stitch everyone up by speeding up" mentality.
@@AzguardMike nope I'm more than happy to be overtaken. No need to speed if it's a mundane journey with no reward for doing so. Quite the conclusion to jump to purely off stating someone was very slow to make progress from a light.

Some absolute shocking driving across the UK. My driving instructor once told me "in 30 years of instructing, you are the best student by an absolute mile. But the roads are still dangerous even with your level of skill".
Teach us all, god of driving. How can we be as perfect as you?
😂😂
@@shaun239 Not sure it's possible! Had no faults on my test and the examiner was convinced that I'd been driving for years!
don't be too hard on parcel delivery drivers, think how often you rely on them, then think of their horrible job conditions, a few delays is a small price to pay for the convenience they bring - a better way is needed.
Just because they are delivering packages (a job NOBODY FORCED THEM TO DO) does not entitle them to ignore the rules of the road and just abandon their vehicle in the middle of the road.
