2:15 The way the passenger got out as if his going to do something 😂😂
The scream of #6 always makes me belly laugh. Sorry 😂
#24 - it is amazing how some people think "I've got a dashcam" automatically means they are right.
A dash cam will not excuse you if a copper requests the video AFTER an accident and it identifies you as the cause.
you nailed it, everyone doing the myway code
Too true jezp1976. Too true mate.
All drivers should watch videos like this at least once a week.
Seriously what is wrong with some of these cammers? If someone is in the wrong lane then just be nice and let them out when they indicate, don't beep your horn and make an issue of it. People make mistakes, jeez....
I'd just like to thank you for the on screen advice at 8:40 Always known this but surprisingly hardly any other driver I say this to has no clue where the air intake is on their car, most can be altered in a very short time too to make them better in flood water. Great video.
2345 that WAS a safe overtake. The problem was the drunk biker swerving all other the road
@31:33 The important thing here is that it was his new Audio with a V10 engine. Child didn't run into the road in front of him.
Nice analysis of the incidents, pretty much spot on from what I've seen
#39 (22:08) Cammer handled that beautifully.... he shut the Jeep driver up before he could do/say a thing.
soon got back in his car as well, he got out to confront cammer with some bull s**t but was beaten to it.
"Driving a fast car". Only as fast as the driver wants it to go.
That comment was such cringe way for the driver in #58 (31:50) to turn what was a good clip of being aware on the road into "so anyway I have an R8" 😅
#1, as ever, the perils of hanging around next to a left hand drive truck, or any truck really.
Always hard (but not impossible) to avoid on those 50 limit stretches.
Also notice that cammer didn’t stop to offer their footage…
I love it when the passenger gets out ready for a rumpus, he’s not driving though
Lorry reversing up a hill is doing it as the lower ratio going in reverse provides more pulling(pushing) power with the full weight of the lorry and load being located over the rear wheels. You often get better “torque” trying to reverse uphill in snow too - cars well as vans and lorries (that was a bit of impressive reversing too)
That is hardly a hill, does that truck only got a 3hp briggs and stratton engine in it? No vehicles have a lower reverse ratio, common myth and especially a truck with crawler gears! Also a rwd car would prefer to be driven up a snowy hill as opposed to a fwd car!
Wrong, wrong, and a big smelly pile of wrong lmao. I'm a HGV mechanic before you jump the gun.
-It has nothing to do with 'torque' whether you reverse or drive forwards up a hill, only traction is relevant, as first gear (and maybe crawler gears depending on the wagon) is perfectly fine.
-RWD vehicles gain more traction driving forwards uphill, because the weight shifts to the rear, so he wouldn't be reversing up for that reason. That's why FWD's are shit at launching, and wheel hop, because all the weight leaves the front of the car. That's also why FWD's are better in snow, and why you might be better reversing a RWD in snow, because the weight shifts away from the driven wheels, and doesn't allow the tyres to dig into the floor. FWD's do a better job of 'gliding' over the top of the snow. Why the fuck would you reverse up in a RWD in good conditions for more traction, making the weight shift AWAY from where you want more traction?
-Loaded or unloaded, he shouldn't have ANY trouble getting up that 'hill', which is hardly a hill... I've seen steeper car parks. Either way, but especially if he's loaded, he's better going forward, and if he's really struggling at any point, he needs a run-up, or to use his diff lock on straights, if the wagon has one. Again, gears, if the retard was driving forwards like he should be, he'd be happily tootling up that hill probably in about 6th or 7th gear.
Aaaaannnnd after a quick look on google maps, would you look at that. The survey says: Driver's a fucking idiot. Rather than use any of the lay-bys and turn-ins, further down the area in the video, but before he reaches the bridge, he's used his massive brain and decided to reverse almost a mile up the road, blocking one lane of traffic, and endangering or at least confusing all the traffic, before he finally has to reverse onto a roundabout to turn around and find the correct route that he and his company should've planned in the first place. It's not even like it's temporary problem or something new that's cropped up... it's a decades-old railway bridge.

#52 That's why you hold back on roundabouts, especially if you've seen this a lot!
Totally agree with the statement in clip #45.some of the bloopers you see on driving lessons if i were a driving examiner I'd just continuously fail them.
#27. I am amazed at the number of people that cannot read a situation on the road and guess or figure out what may or is about to happen. This was a foregone conclusion, and now the BMW driver has to spend time and expense having his car repaired.
the expense will be covered by the lorry drivers insurance (if they had any).
#16 can also destroy your engine due to hydro lock where you get water in the pistons, water doesn't compress so your engine shreds itself. *never* wade a ford if there is a way around it unless absolutely necessary.
#13 There could be MANY reasons why the car couldn't go - it's YOUR responsibility to *wait*
an hour of people who can't drive...can I survive that 😪😪😪😪😪
6:14 - I call this 'Stopping in anticipation' and I see it often at roundabouts. People treat them like give-way junctions and stop before checking to the right.
#67 new fear unlocked
3:58 - Is that Uncle Albert? 🤔🤔
3.10 Totally disagree. Polo wasn’t “barrelling” and had complete right of way. An indicator doesn’t give you priority. And the fact the Volvo pulled out, braked, watched the accident and then took off confirms he knew he made an error. Mirror, signal, manoeuvre.
#40 You give way to ALL traffic on your right when entering a roundabout... not just some of it with your fingers crossed that everyone is in the right lane...
1:05:35 - Road rage nothing the van driver cut him up with a close pass, the cyclist was approaching a parked car and would have obviously had to move right to pass it. The van driver didn't even move to allow room for the cyclist let alone the cyclist having room to pass the parked car.
#5 - the Polo is clearly at fault for not paying attention but the Volvo also shoulders some of the blame for moving out when the lane was occupied. Yes they indicated but they assumed the Polo was moving over for them when they weren't, so the Polo had to take evasive action. The Polo should have seen and dealt with it a lot sooner, but assuming people will make space and pulling out even when they're approaching in your mirrors is not a good idea.
Why do so many people think that roundabouts are an overtaking opportunity?
The worst part is many think driving like this is perfectly acceptable. Some people would make an amoeba with learning difficulties look intelligent. It's also never their fault, it's always someone else's fault.
2:56 Blue Polo driver is an idiot for sawing the wheel like that... hence why they spun out
Don’t make a bow wave when driving through deep water
45:42 #86 Looks like the BMW drove off in a hurry. Methinks there was something to hide there. I hope that got reported to the police.
#13 car was perfectly within their right to stop and check the road was clear. Annoying and frustrating as it may be.
01:02:47 #111 1) What annoys me is drivers who seem to think "I can see perfectly well, so no need for lights". I believe in conditions such as these it is mandatory to have dipped lights switched on so that your vehicle CAN BE SEEN by other motorists. 2) What on earth was Audi thinkng? What was Peugeot thinking? Was anyone thinking at all?
1:05:37 clearly the biker was going to move out to get past the van on double yellows and the driver thinks na I’ll just squeeze through..
driver is the cnut
#17 Is a ripe candidate for an educational beatdown.
10:26 #19 Ah, the M25! That was nothing- just wait until you get to CW J15 M4 junction! That's REALLY fun!
#40...surprise surprise, the Audi wasn't indicating that he was taking that junction - totally in the wrong.
You still have to give way to the right regardless of whether or not they're indicating, I never go unless it's completely clear. You often have to cut across lanes on a roundabout, there's sometimes no other way. All this footage shows is that the cammer pulled out in front of someone coming from their right, on a roundabout.
Caption is wrong at #20, the stationary vehicle does not need to indicate to pass parked cars.
#16 - I've even been very cautious indeed driving through intentional fords, let alone floods. I had to drive through a flood in Stoke-on-Trent once, got through OK but the handbrake started sticking afterwards.
Anybody who feel the need to blow their horn for 20 seconds after a minor traffic near miss really needs to attend an anger managment course!
45:50 #89 Very spiteful and petty by the car in front. I don't suppose the white/silver car is blameless, either.
#10 is Bmw's fault too..pretty common sense not to drive through that situation at about 35mph
Yep, video author comments on observation skills of turning car, which is legit, but makes no comment on a BMW who think it's sensible to absolutely rag it past stationary traffic on his right.
White Audi was actually overtaking the black (Kia?) hence the extremely tight corner taken by it 20:13
*watch it slowly over a few times *
The white Audi was actually behind the black car🤷🏻🤷🏼🤷🏿🤷🏾🤷🏽
#33 depending on what was behind me I'd have considered straddling two lanes with my hazards on to give both cars the space to merge safely and carry on, but if traffic to the left is too fast then this would be a bad idea.
00:15 #1 Grieves me to say it but Merc was totally blamless, unless you judge that driving on the lorry's blind side contributed to the crash.
58:00 #103 The best bit was the guy's wife hitting him and telling him not to be so stupid!
I hope everyone is sending that clip to Anglican Paving. Appalling driving
cowboy company, it was probably the boss
What you sometimes need is a 1/4" plate steel bumper like the one fitted to my Land Rover. It's done the tin opener trick a couple of times on cars that tried to be in my lane while I was still there.
28:34, when you see one of those fish symbols on the back of a car you just know you are in for trouble. They are in a hurry to meet their maker !!
I am afraid that these days 2023 , I trust NO ONE on the roads . If their not looking at their phones ( eyes looking to their lap ) , they have their music so loud , or they are so engrossed in what they are doing , no one else is around them ?!
I don’t trust anyone who plays music post 1990
49:40 #93 I don't see wy the Camcar couldn't slow down. It was clear that the Megane was turning right - Camcar had ample opportunity to avoid that collision.
#32 - I do hope this footage has been passed to the transport manager of Anglian Paving (and to the local police force) - this idiot needs to lose their job and their licence PDQ.
16.00 As one London CZcams cammer says - 'Always an Audi' so one less to worry about!
The truck reversing down the hill may of lost his clutch and is heading for some where that is easier for recovery . Good reversing i might add .
#47 Trucker obviously made a wrong turn but what the hell was cammer doing overtaking on on double solid white lines ?
The phrase brake rather than horn comes to mind!!!
#66 36:15 the clue is in the location "Sheerness'"- a lot of drivers from the isle of Sheppey have never driven off the island so possibly don't understand how to turn the steering wheel to aim the car!
#25. The on-screen comment is true...HOWEVER...driving defensively, once you suspect a driver might not know where they are going, you should give them extra space and expect last moment changes of direction.
As a lorry driver, if you have mirrors in the right places AND you pay attention to them, you can avoid many of the accidents shown on this channel. The only blind spot, on a properly set up lorry, is immediately behind the lorry. This doesn't excuse the car drivers for not driving defensively and/or driving stupidly.
I drove professionally for more than 20 years. Few accidents, but not one "At Fault" accident. The only accidents I did have were during snow storms, while I was driving a snowplow (in Canada) and the car drivers did something wrong (Usually not paying attention or 'forgetting' there's snow on the road ahead of a plow).
19:34 I wouldn't have stopped because you're not supposed to stop in an active lane on the motorway (highway to me). Should an accident occur, you would be at least partially at fault. Also, I prefer not to get rear ended by another vehicle, at motorway speeds, who is not paying attention. Leave that car to get himself out of the pickle of his own making.
11:30
That’s against the Highway Code.
So dangerous to be down an open manhole cover without the signage and protection necessary.
A company employing this person could be held at fault for gross negligence.
Not the drivers fault at all.
It’s lucky they saw the guy at all.
This offence was introduced way back in time by the Highways Act 1835 (section 72) which states that is an offence is caused by: “driving on any footpath or causeway by the side of any road made or set apart for the use or accommodation of foot passengers“. 38.38
38:38 instant karma for close passing that cyclist
Half of these drivers are driving with their eyes shut
I think you've put #67 in every month's catch up videos this year.
Ikr, I think the first time I saw the clip anywhere was about a year ago.
Agree wholeheartedly with #45 - when people purposefully put others in danger, and when you put a cyclist in danger you endanger their life, they should be banned for life. I don't think luck is a good alibi for not injuring or killing someone.
Yes you made a good point, but as the cyclists had camera on to his head, he moved out, without looking, as much the same happened mé tó, passing a cyclists, I moved out gave him room, the cyclists put his arm out, moved out, to change lanes without looking
The white van at 1.50 cut in front of the hgv who was a bit rude. He pulled in front of the lorry that was slowing down due an obstruction ahead and the van pulled into his braking space. The white van didn't look and i am sure that he (like most drivers) didn't realise that lorries cannot stop on the spot.
I don't understand the logic of the caption that the hgv driver should be sacked as he was on the ball and was watching out for hazards.
#112. No such thing as a blind spot, just a driver not keeping a proper lookout.
6:48 excessive use of the horn you ask me 😂
34:16... Chester post house roundabout. In that red box normally is a copper car. For a good reason too.
With 38 happened to me and a pickup behind me, going slowly around a roundabout and we both ended up facing backwards, we presumed a diesel spill or something
#87, don't know what the case is in the UK but in Australia cyclists are not considered pedestrians and therefore have no right of way on pedestrian crossings, unless they are walking their bike.
I think that is the case for the type of crossing in the clip.
depends on the type of crossing in the UK, Toucan crossings can be used by cyclists
#70 37.70 there is actually traffic in front of the gray Golf, a black car partially in its lane that looks like it swung out to pass the exiting traffic
#16 Deep water may do more than just stop the engine. It can totally wreck the engine resulting in writing off the car.
I was taught if you have to drive through deep water, then reverse this creates a bow wave at the front(back of vehicle), lowering the water level (momentarily) at the back where your air intake now is.
and you are absolutely right, sucking up water into the engine will cause 'hydraulicing' as a liquid cannot be compressed and that weakens the con rod, all may appear ok after removing the water and getting the engine started, but it will likely fail soon after ( personal experience)
If the driver were to plead mitigating circumstances, he/she could say it was dark and couldn't see the 'lake' until too late.
There seems to be a tendency for cammers to react with the car horn rather than the brakes, always convinced that they’re in the right. It’s alright to drive defensively and give way sometimes you know guys. Getting angry only effects your driving and judgement.
It's good to see none of the number plates have been pixelated, these people should be shown and shamed.
14:31 driving at 8 months pregnant - you are an unfit mother
#70 The Golf's lane change was OK, but another car started to pull out in front of the Golf, so they braked.... it look like the cammer was just too slow to react. Even at the start of the clip when it was clear the adjacent lane was backing up/slowing down I thought the cammer was going to fast to be able to react to a situation that might occur.
#102 No seat belt but obviously only one of his learning points.
#1 Don't sit next to a heavy, especially if it's a LHD foreign vehicle. You might be in a blind spot. Wait behind until you can overtake the full length in one go.
The one at 48 mins in must be off duty cop to get away with that
#15, the tree failed to give way.
#12 stop straight lining roundabouts youll probably encounter less issues.
100% correct. Not only did he illegally straight line it he also floored it simply to cut the other driver off. Appalling driving and a flawed assessment by the cammer who obviously does the same thing right after.
#12 5:54 No it wasn't the car in front's right of way! The silver car was already entering the roundabout before the black car got to the line, they had right of way. It annoys me so much how many people don't understand mini roundabouts
you must be annoyed with yourself, the vehicle approaching from the right has priority not the vehicle approaching from the left.
@@georgebarnes8163 watch the video again and think about if you were driving the silver car, what do you see? The white car 2 cars in front enters the roundabout signalling left and begins to take the left exit, that is when the silver car enters the roundabout and it has made it half a car length out when the black car appears from behind the white one, enters the roundabout far too fast and also crossing straight over the middle and goes straight at the side of them. The roundabout WAS clear when the silver car pulled out. Do you have to give way to the right even for people who haven't even reached the roundabout yet? (No)
@@MikeWalls7829 Irrelevant, the vehicle approaching from the right has priority, end of story. You have to give way to traffic approaching from the right regardless if they are on the roundabout or not, read the rules on roundabouts, there is no mention of traffic ON the roundabout but APPROACHING the roundabout.
@@MikeWalls7829 - YES!
@@georgebarnes8163 mike is right. There are three laws that govern mini-roundabout use:
1. give priority to the right to vehicles ON the carriageway of the roundabout
2. keep left of the white circle marking
3. give way at the white circle marking to traffic on the roundabout
unfortunately, the highway code doesn't really explain the law particularly well and not many people bother to read the actual legislation. A lot of people mistakenly think that they get priority if they are approaching from the right, even if they've not yet crossed onto the roundabout. That encourages many drivers to approach mini-roundabouts at an inappropriate speed.
No. 68 - That's "The Crescent' in Marino/Fairview, Dublin, where Bram Stoker (creator of Dracula) lived. 😊
#71 Dude is terrified about being 1 min late for his job at the warehouse.
Yea warehouses, supermarkets places like this are unbelievably strict usually about timekeeping. As a chef I'd have to be at least 15 minutes late before anyone bats an eyelid.
#100 - "The other cars use of the roundabout was poor" No it wasn't, that Jag didn't do anything wrong. It was indicating and both the lanes can go right. Cammer didnt read the markings properly. I've had cars almost do this to me when im driving an Artic.
1:08:30 As a cyclist, I say they shouldn't have been riding two-abreast on a narrow, twisty country lane. They couldn't see far enough ahead to go single file when needed either.
Was about to say the same thing. It may be a narrow lane but it's still designed for two-way traffic - they should have been in single file.
#15 If the tree was in an obviously dangerous condition the owner might be liable. If it just blows over due to adverse weather then not.
There is no might :) It's the owners responsibility to make sure that it does not endanger anyone. If the land is publicly owned, enjoy sending the bill to the council.
Got to say, bloody great reactions by the oncoming car's driver, saved themselves getting a tree over the bonnet. Can see them slam on the brakes just in time for the tree to hit the ground and shatter into smaller bits 😬
14:50 The pregnant woman did not succeed in her "report for them almost crashing into her"
46:16 What a tune!
#78 Quite right that the Audi driver got done for it. BUT. There is an empty path/cycleway on his left. For self-preservation if nothing else, why not use it? Doesn't matter whose fault it is if your dead. You're still dead.
7:08 If the tree was in good health then there is liability on the landowner. If the tree was rotten or otherwise not good it is the landowner's responsibility to sort it. Insurance companies generally just pay out via the victim's insurance as the cost of making as decision as to who was responsible is simply not worth while. Used to be called "Knock-for-Knock" settlement.
If the tree fell from the right then it has right of way.
#22 - 11:23 - That's one serious death wish...
Why go into the right lane on a roundabout when you want to turn left ????
#33 - yes, he's an idiot for leaving it so late to merge in, but it's also up to the other drivers on the road to consider the safety of everyone and not let their egos get the better of them - just slow down and let them in, one car in front of you is not going to make any difference to your journey time and everyone gets home that night. Even the cammer was saying "cut him off". Stupid attitude.
You might as well say "It's up to other drivers to consider the fact I want to drive like an absolute moron" Technically, that is sort of true I suppose, we should always be paying attention to others around us however, that was 100% on the driver merging. When i merge anywhere, it couldn't be simpler, it's 100% on me to make sure I can fit into the lane I need to get into, I either put my foot down, or I slow down, it couldn't be simpler.
With that being said, every day I see drivers that can't even manage to join from a slip road, it's truly baffling why these sort of people think they have the right to be on the roads.
#33 He wasnt saying cut hm off, he was saying "just go" which is what I would have done before that point. My instincts there would have been that stopping in the fast lane must be avoided at all costs. If he hadn't pulled in within a second or so I would have driven round him. I would have also stayed much further back earlier on to give them a wide bearth so I would never have got in to the situation where I had to choose between stopping in the fast lane or driving around him leaving him stranded there. He would have pulled back in much sooner no doubt because he would have seen he has plenty of space to do so before I got near him. He may have hesitated because he didn't know if the cammer car was going to stop and let him in. He probably also stalled by the looks of it as he probably wasn't planning on completely stopping! Although if I had ended up right in front of him after he stopped and being forced to choose between leaving him stranded and letting him through it depends on whether traffic was also stopped behind me. If no traffic behind there is no doubt I would have carried on for fear of someone smashing in to the back of me. If there was traffic behind then I might have waited a SLIGHT amount of time longer depending on how many cars behind but I doubt I would ever have stopped I would have slowed down to a crawl at the slowest to give more time before I reached him and had to decide
08:40 happened to my brother, he took it slow and steady, got flooded by oncoming SUV that didn't slow for the water...
#16 ....During recent floods I passed so many hydrolocked cars. Knowing height of air filter is vital.....lol also so many of your cars chips are lower down. If in any doubt do not go in water. Plus insurance will be invalid if you go in deeper water than handbook states.
#70 - the golf caused the accident, but the camera car ought to have been alert to cars trying to jump the queue.
I'm not sure it's entirely fair to blame the Golf. If you look ahead of the Golf just before the moment of impact, it looks like another vehicle has just started to pull out into Lane 3 ahead of the Golf, and the Golf may have been braking to avoid it.
Ultimately a lesson to all, if you see everyone ahead starting to brake, be prepared to have to slow/stop suddenly.
The golf was blameless. Obviously you didn't watch it properly. The cammer was solely to blame
There is always getting an EV that never gets water in the exhaust system because they don’t have one.
