The corsa came from the left, turned 180 degrees, and was then on the right. #physics
Unfort yeah, should avoid making U-turns at mini-roundabouts.
@@ascelot Not making a u turn. It's a roundabout, and the truck failed to give way.
@@gordonbrown9382highway code says avoid u turns on mini roundabouts, but if you do, best do it slowly as other traffic won't be expecting it.
@@ascelot Corsa was indicating and perfectly entitled to do a U-turn- dropsider failed to anticipate what car already on the mini-roundabout might do- so entirely dropsiders fault.
@@Steve-wz2mu This thnx
#8 I'm not disputing what the law says about priority on roundabouts, but if I ever have to do a u-turn on a mini roundabout, I always do so slowly and cautiously, because literally nobody will be expecting it. Regardless of whether the law will find the van driver at fault, the car driver was an idiot.
1st clip, how are the police not interested in taking further action? Sums up the sate of policing in the UK.
At the risk of sounding like a police-apologist, I just wanted to mention it's often not the police, but the CPS. The CPS decide all charges. The CPS decides whether to carry through things to court.
There's really not much point in the police spending so much time and effort on something the CPS will just instantly throw out.
The system is 100% broken, and I'm all for laying blame, but let's make sure we're laying blame in the right place. It's easy to blame the police because they're the public front of the prosecution system, but honestly their role ends at slapping handcuffs on someone, pretty much everything after that, including what if any charges to press, is out of their hands.
I can almost certainly guarantee the police did push this clip over to the CPS, and were told to not bother as the CPS wouldn't do anything.
There was no hate crime so they're not interested
To busy protecting migrants.
@@dopiaza2006 Take a look at the comment above you to find out the reason why rather than just jumping on the band wagon of fault finders and blamers.
Also there will be many accidents where a slight mistake may have been made or contributory factors amount to an accident that will be sorted out be the insurance companies rather than stretching an already scarce scource.
Police only attend if someone's reported injured or the roads blocked 🚫
The most interesting part about this collection was hearing Steve Wright’s voice again on #18.
Christ though that selfie joke, I know it's tough telling jokes when there's literally no audience feedback, but surely he had a little voice telling him just how crap the jokes were?
@@williamstrachanI wasn’t a great fan of the man. I didn’t listen to The Big Show very often. Just a very recognisable voice now gone.👍🏻
Total legend...Loved his show BITD on Radio 1... RIP Wrighty...
Tim @1.41... you put your vehicle in their path, you caused that accident and then uploaded it for other people to judge the victim? Strange move.
2:20 put your foot down sooner or merge behind the hgv not into the side of it (don't merge at 50mph)
Exactly. The HGV has probably moved over to let the car merge. Then they decide to sit in the blind spot instead of going past or slowing to let it back over 🤦
@@Andy-ql7cp Funny you mention blindspot. I'm currently doing a crash course for my Class 2 HGV licence (did 7 hours on Friday with more tomorrow and test Tuesday) and i don't know if this is standard for all HGV's, but the amount of mirrors I have, and also as advised from the instructor, HGV's these days there is no such thing as a blind spot (down to the side of vehicle). But take that with a pinch of salt, as i stated not sure if standard for all HGV's, but I do agree, if you've merged and a HGV is passing you in lane 2 after letting you in, best to just hold back or get in front asap so you are clearly visible.
@@Andy-ql7cp There was no sitting in any blindspot. I could see the driver in his own mirror which means he can see me. I was in a bright blue and white Fiesta at the time, powered by a lawnmower 1.2 engine with no power at all. When the truck moves over, where do you go? Can't exactly brake as there were cars behind me. Couldn't speed up, because there's no power. A rear dashcam also would have shown that the HGV was in the 2nd lane for ages before I started merging.
He says put your foot down in a 1.2 Fiesta with absolutely no acceleration power whatsoever lol. The HGV was well behind me when I merged also. Why would I slow down to move behind a HGV that wasn't even in the same lane as me? HGV legit made the dick move of changing lanes after I had been in it already. You can also see the driver in his mirror, which means he could see my bright blue Fiesta. Can't even say I was in his blindspot because I wasn't. He later moved back into the 2nd lane, driving very close. Such a pointless lane change to begin with.
Unfortunately, it is rocket science to some people... Where this person should have slowed down to let the lorry in, but I see it daily where most of you car drivers have to get in front by any means, even if its just for a second then to turn off.... I know for some of you out there, this will be hard to do, but just have patience, sit back 2 seconds or more, those that can count and relax... you can spot a bad driver a mile off due to how many times they are on the brakes because they are too close and are unable to judge the drivers in front.. but as I said its rocket science to those that don't understand 😂
#8 ummm The Corsa was on the Roundabout so came from the Right as was doing a full turn! 100% the Vans fault!
Corsa was doing a 180 from the vans left initially. Mini roundabouts are too small for that manoeuvre.
@@leesmith6750only in bigger vehicles.
So many examples of people needing to hand their licence back......some truly dangerous drivers out there.
You assume that they passed a test here and are not driving on an overseas licence etc
@@richardhudson8574 Yep, good point. Bottom line, not enough plod on the road to see such selfish drivers and caution them. Then we get to another broken part of society.... the criminal justice system, which tends to hand out ridiculous sentencing.
#8, I finally figured that the Corsa was on the roundabout, doing a U-turn that is discouraged by the Highway Code. Therefore, as the truck seems to hit the side of the Corsa, Corsa was on the roundabout first, and was coming from truck's right = Corsa had priority. Whether the U-turn on the mini roundabout can be weighed against the Corsa is for the insurance company to debate...
I guess if it was me doing a 'you-ee' on a mini roundabout, I'd be ultra cautious of someone not realising that was my intended move and would have stopped before thr van hit me meaning we both went about our day as normal and no one had to claim on any insurances
Is it a u-turn if it's a roundabout? There's nothing wrong with using a roundabout to take any exit, including the one from which you came. I don't think that's a u-turn. Regardless, you're right, Corsa is on the roundabout and has priority.
@@DuckWarrior13 I believe in the latest HC iteration, it is actively discouraged to double back on oneself at a mini roundabout. I may yet be proven an idiot, but I do believe that's the case these days...
It's not an offence to do a U turn on any roundabout, but it is an offence to stay on the roundabout and pass the junction you entered it from, i.e. a full circle, but the Corsa was on the roundabout first so had priority, as long as it was indicating properly
@@Mr1975nellywhich rule prevents you from going full circle round the roundabout?
6:07 horrendous driving by the overtaker. Clearly couldn’t plan past overtaking the cyclist and would rather put everyone in danger than wait a couple of seconds.
SADLY VERY COMMON NOWADAYS IT HAPPENS MOST TIMES I GO ON MY BIKE
3 - nothing wrong with those road markings, there clear and easily show which lane you should be taken based on lane of entry to the roundabout... the white car on the other hand needs to hand his License back to Kellogg's.
#3 nothing wrong with the road markings, they even put little dotted lines to show you which lane(s) to go into.
#8 funnily enough, the car on the roundabout was coming from the right because it went ROUND the ROUNDABOUT. Not rocket surgery figuring out WHOSE fault that was…
'Rocket Surgery!'🤣🤣🤣🤣
#17 is why you never be the "nice person" and leave a gap for someone to pull out. You don't know if that person is stupid enough to pull out in front of traffic without looking. They're behind a "give way" line. They can wait.
Yes. Letting someone out anywhere is fraught with danger.
madasafish2010's clip: The car was already on the roundabout. Van driver fault as they pulled out without checking for traffic. Corsa was on the roundabout for a while.
Still to this day I can't decide who's fault it was. Some say it is the truck for not stopping for a car on the roundabout. Some say it was the car for doing an illegal U-turn.
The U turn was not illegal. Just not advised( apparently) in the highway code, in case some numpty rams the side of the vehicle I'd imagine.....
Nice to hear Steve Wright at the 7 min mark!!!!
Clip 18, nice to hear the tones of Wrighty, Steve Wright legend
#4 have you tired maybe...not cutting up the junction?
Watching someone nearly kill themselves walking into traffic, while being mere metres from a crossing, always infuriates me. The universe has given you all the tools to act safely and you're too stupid to notice
3:20 the corsa did a u-turn on a mini-roundabout. It's not illegal, but advised against in the highway code. However, the truck did illegally cross the dashed give way lines and collided with the Corsa, so truck driver 100% at fault.
Roundabout. Give way to traffic already on the roundabout.
#3 - that's one of my favourite songs
That's exciting
2:11 got his todger out
1:25 it's both bad driving, bad road paint and bad signs
7:42 Nicely-timed lyrics.
We have several of these badly signed and laid out roundabouts in this area. Ones where there are arrows painted on the road so if there is a queue you can't see them and ones where a lane just vanishes vaguely into another lane.
#8 in belgium it's who is in the roundabout who has right of way
That last clip: that song makes me want to watch Hospital Radio DJ Ivan Brackenbury :D
Guy reversing onto a roundabout as the lyrics to the song come on:
“Looking back, over my shoulder”.
I ride a motorcycle as well as drive a car, watching video makes me think how lucky I am not to have been knocked off the bike in 40 years of riding. I think driving standards have deteriorated considerably in the 50 years I’ve been driving.
3:27 - Corsa came from the trucks right - Truck was supposed to give way.
3:22 The highway code specifically advises against using mini-roundabouts to do a U-turn. This clip is a particularly good example of reasoning behind it.
5:12 epic dumb pedestrian
That pillock reversing 😬😬😬😬
So what are the police for then?
2:20 chances are that HGV moved out to let you join the carriageway. Least you could do was let him back into lane 1 again, you dozy whelk.
I swear down 90 percent of drivers today probably struggle to tie their shoelaces
@5:44, That pedestrian looks like he's had a much closer shave than that before in that spot.
0:13 omg that was extremely dangerous, not sure whether they did that on purpose or not looking both ways while emerging out of the side road.
some good defensive driving and some driving where you say how did they pass there test or did they
Green cross code for Millenials;
Wander into road with headphones on and looking at your phone,
Stop and turn around in middle of the lane to notice car approaching,
turn away and keep on walking!
This has happened to me about four times recently!
And didn't bother to use the Zebra crossing.
New hierarchy of road users means pedestrians have built in Star Trek style 'shields'
1:30 Lanes on roundabouts are confusing but that's no excuse for not checking mirrors. So, yup, the white car blew it all sky high. Without a good reason why. Just like the song that was playing in the background.
Just an observation but are people driving faster in the UK, most of thes could have been avoided if the offender had be going that bit slower?
# 13 - Quite a few bus drivers in Norwich (First Bust Eastern) are arrogant toe rags. Many take liberties at this Dereham Road/Guardian Road roundabout.
6:49 RIP Steve Wright 😐
6:05 they don’t know how a roundabout works.
#3 is definitely bad road markings not clear enough where they go often confuses me when I go to new places so I often use the car in-front as a guide😂
There's a set of guide dots that the SUV ignored initially that had they followed them they would be in lane 1 after the left lane went up Aldermaston Road. HGV.s lane then splits into two and he picked the wrong lane of the two there.
Worrying you can't follow road markings and admit to it like it's funny. Nothing about being dangerous on the road is funny...
@@thejdemon I too find it difficult to follow lane markings that are as worn out as those in the video. It's no Switch Island with LED lane markers that change for each packet of traffic, it just has two sets of lines overlaid.
@@thejdemon i mean its funny how the government cant use the budget on re doing lines etc and how it confuses people when there are multiple lanes with barely any markings. Also nothing dangerous by following the car ahead as a guide whilst looking at the surroundings when not aware where the lane takes you fella.
@@andyalder7910 some roundabouts are ridiculously bad with worn out markings
Madasafish clip 6 - If you pull out on a Lorry's left hand side and sit in a potential blind spot, expect to get squashed. Ease off the pedal, let the lorry pass and then overtake it. Or move much faster than dawdling in lane 1 so that you are out of harm's way.
2.05. that's the" follow the leader "syndrome , one got through, -- so the others just tag on the end, (with fingers crossed.)
#5. The bmw had to maintain momentum... it could take around 3 miles for one to reach the heady speed of 30mph again... . 😂
#4, this is why it's suggested that you indicate or at least make your intentions obvious before doing a 90 degree turn at speed.
#3 Suv was wrong. Lorry also likely picked the wrong lane when enrtering onto RB. I would suspect as a lorry it would have been going to Houndmills and needed the offside lane on the RB.
#4 @1.42 - that's what happens when you cut the corner.
I've watched loads of these dashcam videos and along with driving thousands of miles a year have come to the conclusion that this is the state of modern driving, everyone please get yourself a camera, if not to cover yourself then at least for our entertainment.
#13 - I hope that Norwich bus driver is suitably spoken to and sent for re-training, PSVs are not absolved of the laws of the road!
3:18, corsa came from the right on the roundabout, on it first so has right of way - why is this even a question?? ffs...
7:30 what the hell is he doing!? I’ve seen some pretty bad driving in my time but reversing over a mini roundabout, honestly that is the worst piece of driving that I’ve ever seen in my life.
#6 do your brakes not work?
Don't know what you mean by "he came from the left" at 3:31 - the red car was on the roundabout regardless of what exit he emerged from - the truck should have stopped.
The car in the first clip is taxed and insured so I'd send everything to my insurance to deal with.
How on earth do you miss a massive bright red tractor.
I always thought a tractor would have had a louder horn, it's horn reminded me of the horn on a Fiat Uno I owned 20 year ago.
@@OldManGripStrength A tractor is not really a road going vehicle. They may occasionally go on the road, but they spend 99% of their lives in fields where there's not a lot of use for a horn. The manufacturers fit one purely to meet the requirement of having a horn to be road legal so I suspect they just fit the cheapest one out of somebody else's parts bin, quite possibly FIAT's parts bin. FIAT parts seem to turn up on a lot of other vehicles for some reason. Lamborghini's are stuffed full of them, with the amusing result that you can buy your indicator repeater lens from Lambo for €+++++++, or exactly the same part from the FIAT garage for €-.
@@OldManGripStrength sounded like it had a sore throat lol
You don't miss it, but you can't be stuck behind it (MGIF), so you risk your well-being by driving through a Give Way sign in front of it.
@4.35 - not gonna lie thats a very strange road layout - could it be a design fault? never seen that before.
#5 you're partly to blame there, you saw there was an obstruction ahead and didn't even think about slowing down until you were on top of it. It's not bad driving per se, it's more a lack of consideration for the hazard in front of you.
1:15 - no Mr Truck Driver, you were in the correct lane throughout. The dots clearly channel you onto the roundabouts to the appropriate lane. It’s not confusing in the slightest. You followed them precisely.
Entering, the far left lane was solely for the immediate exit, the middle lane then leads to the left-most lane of the roundabout. The right lane (which you were in) channels onto the second from left lane on the roundabout, which is the one you correctly moved to.
The idiot is the white car should have remained in the lane to your left.
the blue Suzuki in the first video has false plates. If you check the plate on the government website its registered as a red Citroen.
2:58 the fiesta had give way lines and was on the side road, the white car didn’t have give way lines and was on the main road, the white car had priority, the fiesta should of waited until the white car was out of the way before emerging from the side road.
At 3:28, the accident was on a roundabout , so the Corsa could only legally come from the right, so it is the truck drivers fault but I think that the Corsa had broken the law by driving over the mini roundabout, you have to drive round them unless you are driving a long vehicle.
They’ll both get fault. Van hit a vehicle already on the roundabout (didn’t slow down enough) and the Corsa crossed their give way marking and impeded the travel of a vehicle approaching the give way marking to their right whilst performing a manoeuvre that you shouldn’t do.
@@v52gc no matter what way you look at it, the Corsa was coming from the right and therefore had the right of way, I doubt that the truck would be blamed for this accident because the Corsa had two offences, one by driving over the mini roundabout instead of going round it, in effect he was on the wrong side of the road, if he had gone round properly, the truck driver would possibly not have hit it but the main thing is that the truck driver had the priority.
@@honestchris7472 the Corsa still crossed their give way line impeding a vehicle approaching the give way line to their right, that’s basically what the legislation for mini-roundabouts makes reference to, that’s why this one is interesting. The Corsa was also in the process of performing a manoeuvre they shouldn’t do according to the Highway Code.
Anyway, look up and have a read of Starks v Chief Constable of Hertfordshire, you’ll be surprised how much blame could then be placed on the van.
@@v52gc the Corsa was still on the roundabout and the truck should have waited for it to complete its manoeuvre, instead it ignored the Corsa and proceeded to enter the roundabout in front of the car and therefore caused the crash.
@@honestchris7472 I never said the van was in the right. I’m saying they both could have done better. Fault is split between the two, it won’t be 50:50.
You realise in one post you’ve 100% blamed the Corsa and in another the van?
#8 Drivers must slow down at roundabouts and be prepared to stop and give way to drivers from the right. As with many drivers these days, drivers think it's give way to me! and blast through the giveway lines on the road at roundabouts.
at 02:21 the lorry was in lane 2, going faster than the cammer when the cammer was on the slip road, so in essence he should have seen the cammer joining the motorway and been aware the cammer was there somewhere, and had the lorry driver used his mirrors correctly (the convex mirror) he would have seen the cammer. But look how he goes straight back in to lane 2. The less times you change lanes the less risk
Tbh they’ve remarked a couple of roundabouts where I live with a new style and it confused everybody
3:17 The Corsa came from the left and went round the roundabout to leave by the same road, maybe the lorry driver should have slowed down a bit more to give them more thinking time. The lorry driver was at fault.
They’ll both get fault.
Not really, Corsa was performing a legal manoeuvre, the pick up driver was not paying 'due care and attention'. Give way to the immediate right, or to vehicles already on the roundabout.
@@ianhill4585 it’s not give way to the immediate right but give way to a vehicle passing their give way marking to the right of your give markings. Regardless you give way to vehicles already on the roundabout as well which the van failed to do. You need to also take into account The Corsa was performing a manoeuvre the Highway Code says should not be done, whilst not illegal it could be seen as having contributed to the collision.
@@v52gc I'd love to be in court for that one.
"So how did the accident happen"?
"Well I was performing a (not recommended), but not illegal manoeuvre round a roundabout ,when a truck decided to drive into the space I was already in, colliding with me because it wasn't paying attention ".
I suspect the court will call it 50/50, because they frequently do the easy thing,--rather than the correct thing.
@@ianhill4585 I never said 50:50, don’t know where you got that from. Going against any advice in the Highway Code could make you liable in the event of a collision.
Corsa performed a manoeuvre that should be avoided, van didn’t “watch out” for vehicles already on the roundabout. It’s like if a pedestrian runs out into the road without looking and a collision occurs, majority of the blame would go to the vehicle but some liability would rest with the pedestrian.
2:05 as the obstruction was on his side of the road he should of given way to oncoming vehicles as he needs to use the wrong side of the road to get around the lorry.
#8 vans fault. shouldn't assume other road users intentions. Enough experience has taught me that with roundabouts you slow down and wait for road users to finish their manouvre. You think a 180 U-ee is bad, try coming across people doing 270 turns on mini-roundabouts!
3:26 highway code also states you should avoid making u-turns at mini roundabouts which the Corsa appears to do.
Should avoid,-- because it can catch out other drivers. But perfectly legal to do. All parties just need to be more observant.
@@ianhill4585 The wording for giving way to the right also states 'should' which would means it's actually perfectly legal not to do that either.
We're not talking about legality because not all highway code rules are criminal offences to break.
Both rules carry the lesser "should" wording which means they can both be used in court to establish liability but not as a criminal offence in itself.
I have no idea which way a court or insurance company would swing in this case because they both carry the same 'level' of wording & so hard to establish which one is deemed worse to do.
@@TRAXXAS58 So the "should" covers the pick up truck ,practically ramming the car because its driver wasn't paying attention? Truck should have given way because the car was proceeding around the roundabout,and the truck all but rammed it.
@@ianhill4585 But the other car SHOULD have found another way to make that maneuver, whether it was turning down a side road & making a 3 point turn or simply finding another route.
They're both in the wrong according to the highway code, however, if the car followed the rules, the truck wouldn't have had the opportunity to break them.
@@TRAXXAS58 Why should the car find another way? The car went around the roundabout perfectly legally, however the trucks driver drove without due care and attention and rammed the car. It's not upto the victim to change his driving plans to suit the morons.
"Car followed the rules"? What rule is that exactly?
Those round a bouts are way too small compared to Belgium, Germany or even France. They have to make them bigger to have a better understanding of roundabouts and have way less accidents or confusion.
2:32 terrible driving by the lorry driver.
How sad. The footage after the bicycle was nearly sideswapped on a country road (7:08), had Steve Wright on the radio😪
RIP Steve Wright
#3 - shouldn't you have gone into the inside of the roundabout as per the lanes you are pointing out?
#3 Is poor road markings rather than driving. He's following the road markings which basically cause him to cut up the middle lane. Should keep to the right near the curb until he's part the next exit before moving into the middle lane I think. Very strange.
They were perfectly clear to me including an additional road sign to the right.
#17 is the result of charitable road usage. The audi is trying to let the red car go when it wasnt their right of way, causing them pressure and to lose their awareness.
#3 So Heather Mills has her own lane now 😊. That's what happens when you marry a Beatle. Anyway the truck driver is correct he followed the dotted road markings whilst the car didn't.
3:41, that is why we Dutch have the law that traffic on the roundabout has the right of way. The roundabout is a priority street ( has the right of way) and all drivers on a priority street ( wherever (!) on that street/road/way) have.... priority.
Same here 🇩🇰
It’s the same in 5he UK except the roundabouts are so small that you’re not actually on them when the joining driver should give way.
2:30 - You didn't notice he was moving over and carried on? Or are the brakes faulty on your car?
2:21 you set yourself up there . Entered the 1st lane , lorry going faster than you decided to speed up and undertake, VERDICT CAM CAR'S FAULT
I swear sometimes I'm watching a completely different video to other people!
When joining a road like that, where else did you expect them to join but in to lane 1? The driver was getting up to speed and the lorry driver would have been able to see all of those vehicles joining from his position in lane 2.
If the lorry was RHD that car wasn't in the blind spot, if the lorry was LHD, the driver would have easily been able to see the car.
That is 100% the lorry driver's fault, as quite simply, the lane wasn't empty for him to move in to.
Terrible driving by the cammer. He shouldn’t have been undertaking.
I agree the lorry is 100% at fault here since it’s his responsibility to drive safely and with observations which he didn’t… but the car made this much easier to happen because he drove like crap.
Should have slowed to let the lorry finish passing then pulled out to overtake it.
@@SomethingBluh That's not undertaking, it's a merging lane, vehicles in the left lane should pull over or slow to allow cars merging to pull in. The point of that road is to get to speed and join the main flow of traffic. If the white line was a solid line, then the merging traffic are to stop until they can safely join the main road. The lorry is at fault for not checking his mirror and pulling back left while a vehicle was there.
@@gixxer750rich the lorry had moved over poss to let him join lane one. the car then proceeded to speed up when he should have dropped back, how hard is it?
You can guess all you want in relation to the lorry's intention, it doesn't change the fact that the lorry was in lane 2 and moved in to lane 1 when it wasn't clear to do so.
Keep in mind the truck is limited to 56, the cammer is getting up to speed to join a fast road and the truck driver should easily have seen the cammer.
I'd be fully with you if the truck was in lane 1 and the cammer was trying to force their way on, but he wasn't. It's terrible driving, even more so from a professional.
Re #1, what chance have you when the Police take no action ?
Ikr? They may as well _encourage_ ahole driving.
I wonder what the police actually said. The video doesn't identify the vehicle or the driver. I wonder how they got on for pursuing it through insurance? I've a feeling insurance legal people take loss-causers to court (happened to us last year, stressful until it the money was repaid) on very little evidence and succeed based on 'balance of likelihoods'. I suspect a court would throw out a police case on the same facts.
Tell the Police you thought the other driver may have shouted a mis-gendering comment at you?
3:30 that’s not quite correct, you don’t have to stop at a roundabout, you can drive slowly while looking for a safe gap to enter the roundabout.
3:25 It's not corsa fault! The car was already on roundabout and had priority.
u turn on a mini roundabout is inherently dangerous. as it is totally unexpected ... like a u turn in a road.
It is the Corsa's fault. The highway code explicitly says "Avoid making U-turns at mini roundabouts."
It is also the van driver's fault. The same rule in the highway code explicitly says "Beware of others doing this."
@@McGubbins42 Nah, the van driver is at fault.
@@McGubbins42how on earth is it a U Turn if you are travelling on a roundabout? The Corsa did not come from the left, otherwise it would have hit the left side of the truck.
Mini roundabouts cannot be treated the same as bigger ones, so anyone going all the way around is asking for trouble. Highway code says don't do it.
2:12 #6 Why not just lift off the throttle and let the artic go past, then pull out behind it, instead of approaching from its blind spot, then sitting alongside it?
4:40 it was clear enough then, but not after the other car had passed. That's when you were supposed to have looked. No sympathy, wake up before you hurt someone!
First clip (0:15).
I probably spent 5-7 minutes trying to figure out the plate. Best I got was xxxxxKU or xxxxxRI.
Didn't realize the pictures of the blue Suzuki was included😂.
#6 If you was going to undertake the HGV you should’ve just got on and done it a lot sooner not hesitating, if you was in doubt, you should’ve slowed down anticipating or even just knowing that the HGV would soon want to return to the left lane, so holding back would reduce chances of being in their blind spot, although sure the HGV could’ve tried to ensure nothing was likely to be in blind spot maybe? But it’s happening a lot more lately.
the corsa was not at fault, but the truck was you always have to giveway to the right on a roundabout
What license?!? That piece of crap provisional...
#8 silly move by corsa, but truck's fault on paper. Just one of those things, both barreled into the roundabout without considering what hte other would do.
2:20 nice one, merge into the blind spot of a lorry at 50, then complain when they don't see you. Pathetic.
Hahahaha Daryl 'the wurly' Kirley wins most over dramatic reaction. I'm surprised he didn't ask the road or walk if they were okay or the pigeons 🤣
6:20 I hope he was reported to the police.
#3 is at the Aldermaston roundabout in Basingstoke. It's about 300 yards from where I'm sat. It is a poorly signposted roundabout. You need to research it on Google Street View if you plan go do it, 'cos the signs are too late.
The signs weren't the problem. The problem was following the very clear lane markings into the roundabout from the very clearly marked lanes approaching the roundabout. If you're in the wrong lane because the sign wasn't clear and the arrows on the road were covered by vehicles, you can safely move into another lane once you're on the roundabout. That's not what was happening. The truck was in the correct lane and the other vehicle crossed into their path.
#8 - technically the van driver should have given way to the Corsa, but the Highway code also explicitly states that if you go right round a mini roundabout you should beware of as drivers will not be expecting you to go all the way round and may not give way.
The driver off the car versus the HGV was in the lorry driver’s blind spot and, as a result should have slowed down, instead of speeding up after joining the carriageway, allowing the lorry to return safely to the inside lane. That was poor driving and inexperience. 2:29
Poor driving from the lorry driver as well, they literally changed lanes into another vehicle immediately after overtaking it. This wasn’t a blind reverse or going round a tight bend.
