Why don't people understand that if you're in the wrong lane on a roundabout... Just go back round, that's the beauty of a roundabout.. Its round.
Problem is, people do this in the left lane and cut everyone up. Better to take the exit and find a way round/turn back etc
All this requires a bit of common sense though....
@@Wreck-Gar and a dash of patience. But it's much easier to take a risk, than to be a few minutes late.. obviously.
Reminds me of a.phrase I read somewhere recently;
"A bad driver never misses their exit"
@@Wreck-Gar common sense should be a licence requirement...
Why can't people work out that a roundabout is round and if you miss your junction you can just go around and try again.
Fundamentally, set off in the correct lane.
The motoring cretins amongst us find this concept difficult to grasp. Which it really isn't...
Because that's too easy
Also baffles me how many people insist of getting within the width of a gnats pube to vehicles on a roundabout clearly uncertain about where they are going. Just hold back till it is clear!
@@etdaemoniumresurget3496 huff huff huff " I wanna go left, but I'm gonna set off in the right lane, four lanes across"
People need to know this. Funnily enough today I had to go around a medium roundabout as the lane to go straight was blocked. The left lane just before the roundabout has a bus stop where a bus was. The bus pulled away and cars followed so didn't have space to go into the left lane. Because of that did the right thing to go round the roundabout safely and get off my exit instead of forcing my way in like some people 😁
I really can’t believe that some of these drivers submit clips of themselves driving like complete bell ends! I would delete the footage, save any embarrassment.
But these idiots still think they’re correct
So many goons on the road. The main thing that annoys me is when someone else is clearly in the wrong, you beep them & they have the cheek to have a go back! Absolutely clueless so many out there!
Dashcam warriors
Some bad drivers admit to being poor drivers, but the very worse drivers always think they are good drivers.
That’s why we have twat of the week
4:09 - oh dear, a car's pulled out in front of me... better accelerate right up their arse just so I can show them how displeased I am.
Good on you, but I feel this was a case of late breaking rather than acceleration.
That car shouldn't have pulled out, don't care how fast it is.
@@MrR03ert They had plenty of time, the cammer was hundreds of meters away but the cammer either accelerated or was asleep at the wheel to not even lift off (all it would have taken).
Oh dear a bunch of idiots driving like pricks, caught on dashcam.
Better find a clip where cammers were acting like an idiot and show them how displeased I am.
Yea, that’s exactly what you do.
Well it’s a mclaren, shouldn’t really have a problem speeding up. Shouldn’t have pulled out.
True karma when Gary S fails to give way and sounds his horn at a pedestrian at 6:54, only to have someone drive into him in the next clip.
That was sweet.
The pedestrian was already crossing so had the right of way.
@@nemoerehwon3158 I think the issue with that clip was the pedestrian didn’t even look. Poor example to set to your child.
@@nemoerehwon3158 Could not agree more!
@@kieranhendy It is perhaps an issue but there is no need to honk your horn at all. The car should have been prepared to stop, it's in the highway code. The pedestrian has 3 directions of traffic to consider and in fact the pavement ends exactly where they stand so cannot even move further into Cottage Farm Road to make it safer. End of January. Probably freezing and honking your horn at mother and child trying to get home. Ridiculous.
Was I the only one very pleased to see Gary S rear-ended after he was a complete and utter bell-end in the previous clip?
They might have right of way but they were also setting a bad example by not looking. He's right the parent is "teaching" that child how to get run over.
Probably milked it out for insurance payout and a nice new car for whiplash claim
No, he is a prize prick
@@darthkek1953 They didn't have right of way though, if he wasn't already there when she crossed then fine, but he was already into the road.
I am going to side with Gary on this, he was totally right, that woman needs a slap for putting the kid in danger without looking before crossing.
Andrew G - Mr "My right of way" 🤣 - not when the car has already entered into the zone it isn't. Give it up
Sounds like Rodney Trotter too. What a plonker!
It's so odd how many people actually don't get this.
There was a similar clip a few weeks back which ended in a Mexican standoff and the cammer wanting to call the police.
Sometimes you just have to let these things go.
@@mxbx307 this was a bit different. This time the other car was well established in the hazard area
Wrong.
The Polo could clearly see Andrew G approaching, and they should stopped have given way to him. They have in effect just forced the person with right of way to take avoiding action. If there had been enough time for them to complete the manoeuvre through the pinch point without forcing Andrew to brake, then they are clear to proceed.
I don’t get Michael D in that first clip, if I saw someone drifting into my lane like that, the last thing I’d be doing is passing them, especially coming up to the roundabout!
1:41, They were in the tunnel before you even got there
Wrong.

@@japsniper1980 hahahahahahha have a word with yourself mate.
@@japsniper1980 this is not right of way
@@japsniper1980 YES THE OTHER DRIVER JUST ARROGANT AND ENTITLED I NEVER STOP IF ITS MY RIGHT OF WAY AND ALWAYS STOP WHEN IT ISNT JUST COMMON CURTESY IF THEY CRASH IN TO YOU IT IS THEIR FAULT SIMPLE AS THAT
@@japsniper1980 Don't talk bollocks all your life mate.
1:24 Jonathon P well done on having great observation and anticipation skills in that clip. If that had been the majority of cammers on here there would have been a very nasty accident there.
Was hoping someone would mention this. People focus too much on the negatives
Yes, nice example of good driving. Always check your mirrors before overtaking a cyclist.
This channel really doesn't showcase good defensive driving enough and is normally just clips of cammers making dangerous situations even worse.
@@andrewbryce1287 Always check your mirrors before overtaking anything!
And not only would there have been some injuries, but that cyclist could potentially have been killed as a result of the crash.
1:41 andrew needs to go back and check.. he has priority, not right of way.
The other car was already in the hazard by the time he got there. He'd have priority over anyone else following that car.
agreed!
100% this. Also priority is given, not taken, as Ashley Neal driving instructor once said.
There was a similar clip a few weeks back.
@@Hanx896 top channel
@Indrid Cold The priority sign provides a bias in order to help prevent deadlock, it does not give priority over oncoming vehicles already in the restriction.
I have to say the second clip, Jonathan P excellent driving, planning to overtake the cyclist, clearly looks behind him and decides to hang back. Most likely prevented a serious accident. Well done.
Whatever the opposite of a TOTW award is, he wins it
I thought the same thing.
As someone who got knocked off there bike and broke my left leg I cam thank him
Gary S, facepalm mate. Blasting your horn like a fanny at a parent and child. Give way to pedestrians, plus you getting rear ended was partly your fault as you stopped at a clear roundabout, noticed you never submitted the forward facing clip on that one.
Didn't need it, there was nothing there.
Roundabout might have been clear but he stopped for whatever reason. The car behind him had plenty of time to stop and chose not to.
@@mejinks1978 Here is the part of the highway code you need to read up on: rule 170 - "watch out for pedestrians crossing a road into which you are turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so give way" www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/road-junctions.html
Plus it was raining, and they had no umbrella, just let em cross ffs.
Gary is a bell but in no way is he at fault for getting rear ended, that's flawed logic.
"My right of way"
Cry some more Andrew. He was further forward than the give way line so he had right to proceed.
My thoughts exactly. It was completely clear when he started. Andrew had his pride hurt obviously.
Sorry to break it to you. No the polo did not have any right to proceed. The sign “Priority over oncoming traffic “ is definite, it’s not conditional. Therefore any traffic coming from the cam car’s direction has priority over any oncoming traffic regardless of the location. The polo failed to give way in two occasions. First: failed to give way at the give way line violating regulation for give line. Second, fail to give way within the traffic calming measure, violating the circular mandatory sign which tells them “give way to oncoming traffic”.
@@roadbiker8333 1 - the polo failed to give way at the give way line as there was nothing to give way too. The dashcammer was miles away from the tunnel, if he had braked the polo would finish coming through and all would be well. Yet we have a clip to look at. If Andrew and the polo arrived at the tunnel at the same time, you are correct every day of the year. But they didn't and Andrew is a pillock.
@@roadbiker8333 the polo would’ve gone through before Andrew got to the bridge you Womble, he whinged over spilt milk
@@addyt01 clearly not. As andrew had to slow down. Sooooooo........ ROFL.
Jonathan P read that situation perfectly, potentially saved the cyclists life
Agreed. Not often I watch these clips and think ‘great bit of driving there’ (well, I do, but usually with a thick sarcastic tone...)
That's why you always check your mirrors
I was going to say the same!
More like he just saw the car cresting the hill and stopped the overtake
As someone who got knocked off there bike and broke my left leg I cam thank him
Shoutout to Sean W for willingly entering a no-stopping zone he knew full well he'd have to stop in
Well played to Jonathan who slowed down and pulled over to let those speeding morons overtake him and the cyclist.
Indeed, great awareness. Could have easily have just pulled in and close-passed the rider, but held back instead to overtake properly.
I did want to see a pit manoeuvre though tbh
Came to comment this if someone hadn't already! A lot of hazards and he reacted perfectly.
As someone who got knocked off there bike and broke my left leg I cam thank him
@Pugna it's open to speculation but regardless he did the right thing to slow down and not overtake. Great awareness and road craft. I'd have given him that score for his ROSPA or IAM.
Aygo driver @2:03 .... your hazard perception is a real concern mate.
They could see the lorry was straddling two lanes and still decides to speed up blasting their horn. Epitome of impatient.
@@bilingualilliterate4906 and judging by that he must have cut up that car on the inside that was right behind the truck
@@Bluemoon_19 very likely too.
Absolutely, you can see what's going to happen a mile off and yet the driver proceeds to speed up and blast their horn instead of holding back like any normal person would do.
@2:25 as well if you sudden stop should have put hazard warning lights...
Yes Darren T, the right indicator means the car is turning right!
In fairness to Darren the Citroen was hanging a long way left and could simply have failed to change its indication, plus the turn did look abrupt - but still, should've been more careful.
REALLY??!! I didn't know that 😯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@brian_mccartney 👏👏👏
The Citroen was obviously a vehicle best keeping clear of.
And it's not as though he would be looking over his left shoulder at this point either...
Shame about the beers, but leaving a maverick shopping trolley to run wild, is out of order.
Haha, yep. My thoughts exactly!
He should have bought Heineken
Rule 1 of beer shopping - put it in your boot first to keep it safe
I think they should have foot brakes like prams do
@@danielwilson5102 or push to move brakes like airport trolleys so they stay where there left
Andrew g at 1:42 it maybe show priority, But if the other car has committed and passed the give way point then you must wait and allow them to complete the move, not shout oi stop, read the road and be a bit more patient and you will get on so much better.
Yes people don't get this at all... life's too short to worry about the small stuff like this.
My question to this is always simple:
Two cars come to a narrow section of road, with one way priority, like here. Let's assume there are no visibility issues like here. The car that doesn't have priority (let's say it's a red car) accelerates to get there faster, and enters the one way system. The car that should have priority (let's say it's a white car) now has to stop. Is the red car correct in entering the one way system? If the white car has priority, why does it have to give way?
If you say that the first car to commit and enter the one way system, then:
1. What is the point of establishing priority if the only thing that matters is who enters the one way system first?
2. The argument that "the committed vehicle has right of way" then applies to any junction, where if i'm committed to entering the junction before the other car gets there, i have the right of way.
In essence, the whole thing, as far as i can tell, boils down to this: If you do not have the right of way when approaching a one way system, *_you must slow down and ensure there is no vehicle approaching from the other way,_* just like you would at any junction with a give way sign when you don't have clear visibility of oncoming traffic. You cannot just throw yourself into an area where you must give way without ensuring there are no vehicles that have the right of way. "I didn't see him coming" is not an excuse. You must ensure you have visibility.
Sure, there are exceptions where there is no way to see if traffic is coming, so you just have to go. But i'm sure those are rare, and in those cases a traffic light is probably used. This is not one of those cases. You can't say "by the time the VW saw Andrew, he was already going into the one way system". That means the VW approached the give way at excessive speed.
And lastly, you can talk all you want about what the polite thing to do is, or what the most expedient thing to do is, it doesn't matter. It's all subjective. The law matters more.
@@CristiNeagu The priority sign is advisory i.e. it helps prevent deadlock when two cars arrive simultaneously. Any vehicle in the restriction has priority over an approaching vehicle that has not entered the restriction regardless of the signage. Drivers are expected to slow down and apply an ounce of intelligence when approaching this type of restriction.
@@bloccospirale4280 It's advisory on the priority end. At the other end, It is a white sign surrounded by a red circle: It's a "give order" sign, and the order it gives is: you must give priority to oncoming vehicles. So while it may be your choice whether you assert your priority or let the other guy pass, you do not get to choose whether you give way or enter the system.
@@CristiNeagu The sign provides a bias to prevent deadlock, obviously a vehicle already in the restriction has priority while it is in the restriction. The problem only arises when the driver who has priority, according to their sign, takes this to mean that there should never be an oncoming vehicle in the restriction when they arrive at it, and then they feel violated, get upset and they submit their video clip in the hope that others will sympathise.
Seriously Gary, hand your license back to Kellogs and buy a bus pass.
Absolutely mejinks1978 Pedestrians have right of way when they step off the curb 6:57.
@@IvyMike. gary wins asshole of 2021
Right of way isn't going to stop 2 tons of steel though
The audacity of Gary S submitting these clips lol
In a narcissist's universe, they are always in the right.
I would even blame him for the roundabout one, the idiot stopped for no reason.
@@chrissambrook84 were you the Jag driver?

@@cargy930 😛
someone else definitely didn't stumble upon this video and was waiting for their sunday to be blessed haha
6:56 Gary they was already in the road, you must give way to them
💯
I never understand how people are so quick to honk their horns. Like in a dangerous predicament surely braking and two hands on the wheel might wanna be your main concern
You seem to have dash cammers mixed up with normal drivers there bud lol people these days with dashcams seem to want an accident even if they caused it
Agree- and 97% of the time the honk doesn't help the situation at all, it simply escalates the issue. I suspect that most insta-honkers suffer from relationship & anger management issues off the road.
yep and people who come to a complete stop on roundabouts as a result, dangerous morons
don’t forget quickly managing to get to the save button as well, got to get some fame lol
They just love all the drama on camera, quite a lot of folk with cams will be constantly on the lookout for faults on the road...... Sad b***ards
The amount of people who submit clips of themselves being wankers astounds me.
Agreed!!!
Covid 19 has done wonders to their brain cells.
A lot of them are just gratuitously aggressive, people make mistakes, people get confused, just no need to turn everything into a drama.
The number of people who say "amount of people" astonishes me.
That guys trolley, rolling away, crashing, then I realised he spilt his beer, waves arms in a fooks sake type of way then to add to it, it's raining 😂😂😂 not that guys day but comedy gold 👌
If he can’t prevent his trolley from rolling away I hope his wife is driving the car home!
It was'nt essential shopping, really
@@grumpyone5963 he's probably got home and had a beer and took it out on his Mrs 🤣
I thought at first he was running after it because he wanted to stop the trolley. After he got his beer, he just let the trolley go again. Serves him right in the first place, prick.
If he’s unloaded a load of shopping before it rolled away fair play, but if he got a trolley for a 12 pack of Sol be deserves it, probably sits down to pee 😆
Jonathon P a dashcammer who actually uses his mirrors! Wow you sir deserve an award, Well done!
No. No it wasn’t your right of way Andrew.
Agree, the VW had committed before Andrew got there.
Plus the sign doesn't even mean "Right of way" in the 1st place
Fun fact: There is no 'right of way' when driving is concerned in the UK- It's all 'give way' or yield.
My question to this is always simple:
Two cars come to a narrow section of road, with one way priority, like here. Let's assume there are no visibility issues like here. The car that doesn't have priority (let's say it's a red car) accelerates to get there faster, and enters the one way system.

@@BruceNAmes And priority !
6:58 - turning vehicles must give way to crossing pedestrians.
you could argue he was already in the road the pedestrians were crossing before they left the kerb because of the lane markings. plus the horn is meant to be used for danger, and crossing a road without even looking both ways is pretty dangerous
Yeah I agree that's correct but dopey crossing pedestrians shouldn't just step out on to the road without looking, she should be setting an example for her child, I think that's why he beeped more than anything, you only need a dopey driver not paying attention like some in the video and a mother and child would be in hospital.
@golfboy1989 just because they were standing by the road it does not mean its ok to just walk out into a road without looking, and the mother put herself and her child in danger which is when the horn should be used
@@moosevision8113 Bollocks. The horn was hooted in anger by an impatient driver who should have anticipated the possibility of those pedestrians crossing.
@@MeFreeBee people don't seem to think they have to use anticipation. Everyone should just wait for them
I'm sorry but the driving on here is shocking. Why people even sending footage in of them making the situation worse !! No wonder insurance is expensive, insurance companies should insist on putting cameras they can view to charge according the way you drive.
I'd be ashamed to send some of this in.
Last clip, I always feel bad for people like nick, just going about his business minding his own then gets into a head on, hopefully both drivers were alright 👍
Yes, it doesn't matter how carefully we drive, things happen that we cannot possibly anticipate.
Indeed it just happened so fast. Nothing you can do...
Was pretty brutal tbf , guessing the cammer was in a smaller car to
He shouldn't be letting his kids play with giant balloons in the car - clearly obscured his vision 🤣
Second clip can we actually congratulate a dashcam driver for using their mirror and not blasting their horn! Well done 👍🏻
6:57 - Gary S has clearly never read the highway code. You're supposed to give way to peds crossing when you turn into a road.
They should at least look
Gary S do not need to read a bloody manual, he knows how everything works....
and not blast your horn to a mother and little child. Bell end!
@@leexgx Doesn't matter if they did or didn't look, they're pedestrians. The driver can see them, approaching from behind, the responsibility is for the DRIVER of the vehicle to yield, and also not blast his horn at them in the middle of the road.
He did give way to them... And also made them aware of him so next time the mother looks before crossing as she should have done.
1:41 it's good to see Kieran's dad making an appearance this week,
Yep, be so funny to see something serious actually happen (other car was passed the give way anyway, quite poor viewing angle for this)
@@leexgx Sorry to break it to you. No the polo did not have any right to proceed. The sign “Priority over oncoming traffic “ is definite, it’s not conditional.

@@roadbiker8333 Of course it does. If you've already cleared a Give Way sign/line because it was safe to do so, at that point you have priority. The Polo was already a couple of car lengths beyond the line before they could possibly have seen the oncoming car.

Yes, perhaps the woman from the previous clip got into her car, followed him and taught him a lesson 😂 Instant Karma
My instant thought was what a twat - pedestrians, whatever, have right of way, all he has to do is wait 5 seconds. Karma entirely justified.

Takes a special kind of wobbler to wait for a mum and little boy to start crossing a quiet road then lean on the horn from 3 metres, doesn't it Gary S.
rule 170 please Gary
The amount of drivers who just drive across you even when you're crossing just demonstrates that most motorists don't know/give a sh1t.@@michaelhartley11
When will drivers learn that if a pedestrian is already on the road crossing it then that pedestrian has right of way. It's in the highway code!
Could you please tell were as I want to be able tell friend and it has more weight to it if I can say something along the lines page 5 rule 6. Thanks
@@marcel-jt3dy Sorry, I can't. I gave my copy away, but it's Rule 170.
@@marcel-jt3dy Found this on gov.uk website:
Rule 170
Take extra care at junctions. You should
watch out for cyclists, motorcyclists, powered wheelchairs/mobility scooters and pedestrians as they are not always easy to see. Be aware that they may not have seen or heard you if you are approaching from behind
watch out for pedestrians crossing a road into which you are turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so give way
watch out for long vehicles which may be turning at a junction ahead; they may have to use the whole width of the road to make the turn (see Rule 221)
watch out for horse riders who may take a different line on the road from that which you would expect
not assume, when waiting at a junction, that a vehicle coming from the right and signalling left will actually turn. Wait and make sure
look all around before emerging. Do not cross or join a road until there is a gap large enough for you to do so safely.
Thanks John that's greatly appreciated and as a small token of my appreciation is the a charity I can make a donation to?
@@marcel-jt3dy 👍 That's entirely up to you, it's a really nice gesture thou'. The charities I help are: The Dogs Trust and Alzheimer's Society.
Gary S, pedestrians have right of way when crossing the road like that.
I agree and I'm sure he knows too but was likely beeping because they straight up didn't even look, might just teach them to keep their eyes on the road when with their kid!!!
I think Gary was trying to alert the pedestrians to the fact they really need to look for crossing a road. He was clearly happy to stop for them, but it's probably best you stop, look and listen for crossing a road. Especially if you have a child with you.
@@japsniper1980 I think it's more likely that he's just a bellend
Pedestrians have the right of way, once they are in the road. But they shouldn’t step off the pavement into the path of traffic. “Look out for traffic turning into the road, especially from behind you.”
Sean W, ever heard of a box junction? And how you're not meant to enter it unless your exit is clear? Yeah, it might be worth looking at the road next time. 8:31
Thanks, saved me writing it ;)
It amazes me how many people just don't know this :( The van already in it is ok, cos they're turning right. Hardly complicated is it!
@@ImmortalBlueable But it would have been clear if it hadn't been for the other guy who was blocking him remember ;) "Entitled Mode engaged!"
Next video, we'll have him complaining that he received a fine from an automated box junction camera, where he'll protest that it's not fair that he was fined for stopping in a box junction because his route would have been clear had it not been for the other person blocking him.
Yep. And that’s what happens at 3:49 too with the van failing to see the junction has to be cleared.
It comes from the attitude of I own the road and you have to get out of my entitled way. Rather than applying common sense - shouldn’t need a yellow hatched box if people applied the rules with decency.
Yep - was going to write the same. He uploaded a clip of somebody who had clearly entered a box junction incorrectly - then proceeded to go and do exactly the same thing.
the first clip, had people that just go straight with no concept of lines AND 1:24 we don't often have praise for driver on here, but Jonathan P was actually being visually aware of his surroundings and slowed, pulled in safely behind the biker and let the knobheads race past.
3:01 Biggz, you are the type of driver that makes our roads so dangerous! The car indicated late but instead of letting it in you blocked the way even on the roundabout exit, no consideration for anything other than your fragile ego. Try being considerate and give us all a day off
WOW, so you expect a lorry to stop dead just to let somebody in the wrong lane coming up to a roundabout in?
Edit: It's even more worrying that 14 people have agreed with you.
R90 GTI he didn't have to slam on the brakes, just lift off. He could clearly see what was unfolding, but instead of making room actually closed the gap making an accident more likely. Regardless of the car and trailer being technically in the wrong, it doesn't justify a following driver making the situation worse.
@@spencerwilton5831 - just lift off!? Are you actually crazy!!! You want a lorry that's slowing down coming up to a roundabout to stop braking 😂😂😂
@@LITTLEbigREG If that had been a Police car instead of a Discovery towing a trailer, do you think the lorry driver would have done what he did?
The Discovery and trailer were being aggressive. Tried to force his way across. He should have indicated earlier, slowed down in his own lane and wait for someone to let him across.
Gary S, if people are crossing when you turn, it's their right of way not yours.
Very true, but I find that a quick look to see if a vehicle is turning may help me live longer, especially with near silent electric vehicles.
@@michaelwalker1145 even more reason the driver should be taking care.
To be fair the pedestrians didn't even look. A case of the driver AND pedestrians needing to exercise more care
same thing happened to me at a turning the other day, but Instead of my back to it I was facing forward. I stepped out and at the last second when I was halfway across they flicked indicator on and honked their horn at me, tried to explain the highway code but got a load of verbals. Glad he got rear ended tbf
@@michaelwalker1145 Car drivers have training. Pedestrians don't. The car driver is expected to recognise this fact, and drive accordingly.
The amount of people with Dashcams who ridicule people when they make a genuine mistake is shocking! The same people are the ones who drive like arseholes 24/7
I swear some people only get a dashcam to be able to upload non event clips to video sites. Buy one, install one, then forget about it until you genuinely need it.
@@davidspear9790 Agree 100%. I have one and if anything, it has made me more aware of my driving style. For me, it's for insurances purposes so the last thing I want to encounter is recording myself in an incident that could have been avoided. Makes the investment pointless driving about like half these losers.
There’s a lot of sanctimonious, self-righteous twats in the dashcam community. They drive around looking for some real action, can’t find any, so they try to manufacture some. Perhaps some should go and drive on Russian country roads for a few weeks. The might have something to post when they come back, if they come back at all.
8:30 Love the irony of having a go at someone entering the hatched area without is being clear by entering the hatched area without it being clear.
1:39 Andrew G for TOTW.
For anyone thinking Andrew is right (he’s not) you obviously don’t understand the priority signs. The sign where you don’t have priority is round with a red circle. An instruction sign to be obeyed. The sign where you have priority is a blue rectangle, an information sign providing information or advice. The signs are effective where two vehicles are at a stand off, without the signs neither would know who should go. The priority sign provides information and instruction in this circumstance.
The person with priority must give way to a vehicle which is already in the narrowed area.
So Andrew G in the 3rd clip...how far back do you want to be to expect your right of way? They were literally half way though when you came into sight. Maybe chill a bit.
Was gojgn to say, he was past the line before he even saw the cammer so why doesn't he just let them come through
@@willzpro9093 he doesn't let them through because he has a dash cam, so he doesn't need to
Because Andrew is on the road, that makes it his road, and all the rest of us have to learn to accept that.
An entitled driver who thinks the world evolves around him
Also -= he is wrong. The highway code does no confer "right of way" under any circumstances. He might have had priority, but given he saw the oncoming car in plenty of time and the the highway code says "always give way if it can help avoid an incident".
I believe pedestrians have the right of way if they're already crossing the road
Correct. However, crossing without even looking wasn't the brightest manoeuvre, especially when walking with a young child. It's all about situational awareness and paying attention to your surroundings.
@@cjcronin1000 Yep
Well done "The socks guy" for putting saving the footage over having both hands on the wheel as he entered a round about. Top priorities there!
Gary s read rule 170 of the Highway Code before honking 👍
Kacper G experiencing the joys of driving around Luton 😂
6:59 what are you honking at the pedestrians have the right of way
1:24 Good reactions from Jonathan P to avoid escalating that even further.
Gary S knob of the week. Could have easily slowed for the peds, could also have gone at the junction causing the crash.
Knob of the year so far.
you can't see what's in front of him, how do you know the roundabout isn't blocked
@@deighton2002 the other driver assuming he wouldn't stop is good enough to prove it as clear to enter. We've all come across these types of drivers Infront of us... And theyre all twats in my eyes for stopping.
At 7:35 I'm going to say it... "Rodney, you PLONKER!" You could see the other car was going to pass the bus, you crossed the hatching before the lane opened, seemingly for no other reason than to prevent them, then publish the incident to "show them up"... Well, you might get sympathy from some; but not from me.
0:48 you can tell exactly what this clown is going to do. Why did you even dawdle along side them.
It's easy when looking back on a video though knowing something is going awry. I'd excuse the cammer for assuming the other driver had poor lane positioning or the cammer may have been focused on the roundabout. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt
@@jonc-1989 of you only travel on the roads once in a while then possibly. But the fact he/she/they have a cam on board would suggest they clock up a few miles. And with that precaution, they should have seen the incident unfold. The other vehicle was hugging the white line. Clearly scratching his balls, or fiddling with his radio.
@@ballygarran it's an easy mistake, assuming that the other driver was capable of staying within their lane, while turning left. Experience is a cruel mistress and he'll probably be more wary in future.
Personally, I've learned not to drive alongside other vehicles on roundabouts, especially on my motorbike.
@@jonc-1989 well said . Easy to analyse after the fact
I agree. The way the idiot in the Discovery veered to the right on the approach to the roundabout would have made me suspect he was about to abruptly swing all the way into the right lane, and I would have kept well clear of him on the roundabout. (Even if that meant me hanging back and a tool like Andrew G was leaning on his horn behind me.)
3:01 To the Discovery driver, next time you find yourself approaching a R/A in the wrong lane, just go around the whole roundabout once and then pick your exit - that's the beauty of roundabouts...
This is the best one we’ve had in ages! 😁 great video my friend! 💖
Agreed! 😁
There should be a special school for roundabouts
Should be. And every driver should have to attend. Then there'd be a consistent method.
I watch the video like 1 year now and didnt understand the roundabouts in England lol
@@Black-Circle intersections in America are just as bad or worse
6:55 pedestrians have right of way at junctions
Exactly, Gary S needs to read the Highway Code. Used to be worded “ when turning at a road junction, give way to pedestrians already crossing”. Believe it has been reworded but the same meaning.
They don’t have the right to begin crossing if they can see the car coming though.
@@Batters56 if they got there first then yes my friend, yes they do.
@@cw_uk No, not yet. The very first part of the Highway Code is “rules for pedestrians”. Part D (for when a pedestrian is still on a pavement) says: “If traffic is coming, let it pass”. Once a pedestrian steps into the road then yes drivers must stop, but pedestrians aren’t supposed to step into traffic if they know it’s there.
However I’m aware that the Highway Code may be changing so that if you see a pedestrian waiting to cross a side junction that your are turning into, you’ll have to stop on the main road and wait for them the cross. Which sounds like a recipe for lots of rear shunts to me.
@@Batters56 OK well if you checked it then I must be wrong. Thing is though, as far as I know, pedestrians always have the right of way. Everywhere apart from a motorway. If you run one over, it's not good enough to say "they shouldn't have been there".
Never understand people especially at roundabouts that would rather cause an accident than miss an exit... just go around again in the correct lane...
6:54 - Gary S
The Highway Code, Rule 170 (Rules for Pedestrians) - when crossing a road AT A JUNCTION - particularly when traffic is coming from behind you - reads as follows:
"If you have started crossing (like the woman and child had at 6:56), and traffic wants to turn into the road (like Gary S did at 6:58), you (the pedestrian) have priority and they (the driver - Gary S) should give way (but failed to do so)".
But the bit above that for pedestrians on crossing the road is: “D: If traffic is coming let it pass”. And the full quote of Rule 8, which you quote the end of is: “At a junction. When crossing the road, look out for traffic turning into the road, especially from behind you. If you have started crossing and traffic wants to turn into the road, you have priority and they should give way (see Rule 170).”
Meaning don’t walk out in front of a car, but if you do happen to, you will have priority.
3:05 see this so many times, why don’t people just go round the roundabout to take the junction if they are in the wrong lane rather than risk causing an accident. It literally only adds an extra 10 seconds to your journey.
Brand new car, among the worst drivers in the world are in the newest cars.
Yes, but in this situation the cammer could have easily helped the situation by giving space for the car and trailer to change lanes before the roundabout.
@@andrewbryce1287 No he couldn't. He was in a lorry, as you can tell from the angle of the camera. There wasn't enough space for the car and trailer to get into and still leave enough room for the lorry to brake. Heavy vehicles don't stop as easily as cars, you know.
@@andrewbryce1287 the wagon driver is under no obligation, if the trailer driver is in the wrong lane just go around the Rab
@@andrewbryce1287 helped the situation by giving himself 0 stopping distance?

We’re all here together for the bad drivers ❤️❤️
The driving standards of most dash cam user is look up, see the situation unfolding, speed up into the situation while honking your horn and pushing the save button making the unfolding incident worse as well. Afterwards thinking to themselves what a hero I am because that was my right of way.
I’m getting addicted to these and the hilarious comments 😂
Agreed. I spend a lot longer on the comments than the video!
Same here! 😛
1:38 well yer a knob!
Biggz I'd normally be the 1st to defend fellow hgv drivers but that was shocking.yes,the idiot in the range rover initially was at fault but you escalated things just because u didn't want to let them infront of you
Yup ... appalling driving from a so-called "professional driver". Bet he wouldn't have done that if the Discovery had been a Police car!
That trolley clip although hilarious to see on here also broke my heart
LonewolfR33 is absolutely insane for even attempting to overtake that lorry in those conditions.
Andrew G screams right of way at his Mrs passing him in a doorway
😂😂😂😂
3:02 - the mind boggles... Just go round the roundabout if you're in the wrong lane! But no, let's just cause mayhem to other road users instead. It's the classic mentality of 'must get infront of the lorry'
The HGV driver could have just let him in and both drivers could have got on with the rest of their day quite happily. But no, the HGV driver wanted to be a knob and blast his horn many times and refuse to let him in just to prove a point, and in doing so nearly cause a collision which really would cause mayhem to other road users. Yes, the Land Rover should have gone round but that is no reason for the HGV driver to literally bully another road user who probably is just unfamiliar with the area.
@@collinslfc even if you suggest the wagon driver could have let him in it doesn't give the trailer driver the right to keep on pushing on and trying to get in front of him as he is on the Rab
@@collinslfc - you've got no idea. Driving a HGV isn't like driving a car, you can't just stop. The traffic is already slowing down and if the Land Rover goes into that gap there's zero braking distance for the HGV which would cause him to brake heavily potentially damaging the load he's carrying.
@@LITTLEbigREG Hmmm...there was 7 seconds between the point were the Range Rover indicated and when they reached the point of entering the roundabout. That's a reasonable distance enough to let the car in without needing any heavy braking. No need for the HGV driver to "just stop" like you say, it wasn't a dangerous situation until the HGV driver decided that letting the car in front of him would damage his ego...
@@collinslfc - the lorry is already slowing down for the roundabout whilst keeping a good distance from the car infront, there's no way on earth he'd be able to slow down even more to let the Range Rover in then slow down EVEN MORE to keep a two second gap.
The Range Rover should've just gone round the roundabout, if that was the case they wouldn't have ended up on CZcams.
it's 4 AM im lowkey addicted to these.
6:57 Gary S, please read the Highway Code, specifically rule 170 paragraph 2. I know the pedestrians were being a bit idiotic by not looking, but they did have right of way as they had already started to cross.
Moment of silence for the bloke who lost his beer. ✊
1:39 Someone needs to give Andrew G a lesson in right of way. Actually, come to think about it, someone needs to give him a general driving lesson or two!

In as much as there is no such thing - as far as the Highway Code is concerned at least.
great video love your content keep up the good work 👍
The last clip quickly ended my laughter.
8:30 Vehicles already on a crossing when lights change have priority over vehicles subsequently entering the crossing.
@None It was turning right, so was entitled to enter the junction as its exit was blocked only by oncoming traffic.
@None Wouldn't it have been better if other road users had thought "Oh dear! One of our fellow humans has become stranded in a junction; let's pause and let him escape", rather than posting a mocking video clip?
When a dog gets stranded in a river and is rescued the video repondents say "how sweet", but when a driver gets into trouble, whether by accident or human mistake, it's "Look at this idiot!".
The idiots are those who mock and do not help our fellows.

5:20 - not that the VW driver wasn't an idiot, but there was a big clue as to what was about to happen, a clue in the form of a flashing orange light on the VW. It came on probably a bit too late for the Toyota in front to take action, but I'd have been backing off in preparation for the inevitable if I was in your position.
Why does these videos remind me of my hazard perception test
Fair play to Jonathan P for making the safe and correct choice on a dime.
Gary S could have actually sounded his horn before the pedestrians stepped onto the road.
Or, conversely, he could have done what he should have, allowed them to cross in peace as they are entitled to do without harrassing them with his horn.
