It was nice seeing some harmless, funny clips in here amongst the shocking and dangerous ones!
My dad always said you can be the best driver in the world it takes one idiot to ruin your day
Or put you 6 feet under more like.
8:16 As a bus driver I see that a lot, cars just waiting behind when they have an opportunity to pass. On one occasion I stopped at a unused bus stop with my hazard lights (parked) to get some lunch (it is legal and didn't cause an obstruction) When I walked to the back there was a queue of traffic due to one driver thinking I was part of the imaginary traffic. I instructed her to move around the bus since I was clearly parked at a bus stop. The problem was she was following so closely and not paying attention to my intentions, so she couldn't see what was happening ahead. I found the whole situation funny.
I'm from London and I've seen a corsa driver going in the bus lane and waiting behind a parked car thinking it's traffic! We have red routes that sometimes allow parking out of bus lanes hours, and it was quite funny to see 😂😂😂
I used to love being a bus driver 18yrs ago, except early morning with the ones that got on waving a 20 for a small fair, don't know if its changed but drivers had to supply their own float, which never covered changing a 20 at start, but ruined your day if you found fake coins you had missed when clocking off 😢.
@@will4may175 if you are dealing with money you'll always get a few people that'll try and trick you. My dad's a delivery guy and he's had 1 euro coin instead of a £1 coin so many times cos they're so similar
@@will4may175 There are only a few flat fares we have to deal with, but many passengers pay via contactless or purchase on the App. We are given a £50 float on day 1 of employment, but that must be handed back when we leave the company. Every few months for some reason my float becomes smaller (possibly due to buying lunch from the float), so I need to top it up.
Been there done that 🤣🤣
The people having an absolute rave session in the car, amazing.
"🎼The wheels on the bus" perpaps? 🎵🎶
Footage of truck overtaking on crossing zig-zags should be sent to local police. He needs to rediscover walking.
And to the VSO who should review the firm's Operator's Licence.
Me playing eurotruck be like
The McDonald's Drive Thru clip was brilliant!
That lorry driver is scary. He was completely on the other side of the road. Imagine turning left from where he turned right into and being faced with him.
If this clip has been passed on to the police, I'm sure the driver should have lost their licence. No room here for a driver education course! At that speed on the wrong side of the road they had absolutely no chance of reacting in time to prevent a very nasty and possibly fatal accident. Nil points! 😠
As regards to the type of people parking as close as they can legally or illegally to shops etc it usually translates to the fact that they are lazy,impatient and easily distracted drivers too eg cutting corners/roundabouts, using mobile phones and as we watched driving over pavements. To top it off he did not even signal as he pulled away.
“BMW drivers, a Jack what ya reckon?” straight after a BMW RUclips advert 😂
Being from near Liverpool and driving there a couple times a week, as soon as you get through the tunnel or over the bridge I’ve realised the rules of the road do not apply in most cases. Most of the drivers lack any kind of patience or understanding.
Seems Liverpool could do with some red light cameras and some penalty tickets being handed out.
I have made that mistake many time what the wagon driver has made. Thought I would not dream I've rectify it at the last minute by crossing the white marked Lines. They are there for a reason. I have gone many many miles out of my way rather than making that mistake mistake. If you miss your turning you've miss you turning carry on rectify it at the next junction don't risk a life
I think there's every chance the people in the car having fun was actually a father and deaf son. His amplified hand movements was how they communicate.
I thought the same thing
I think that's a lady but yeah it most likely is what u said
Yes, but you're not allowed to have fun when you are driving. You're in change of a lethal weapon (in the wrong hands) and should concentrate on driving the whole time.......
@@cmartin_ok Oh piss off Debbie Downer.
@@cmartin_ok not sure what the laws over there are, but where I'm from when you are idling before a traffic light you are actually not driving. Your vehicle has to be moving in order to be considered driving.
Time to put cameras at traffic lights, me rhinks
Good video, and it's good to see a deriving instructor that knows his job
You must have the patience of a saint to do your job, I know I couldn’t. How you teach people to drive correctly surrounded by people who couldn’t care less about anyone else or how they drive I’ll never know. I wouldn’t want to be starting to learn to drive again.
'Priority is given - not taken'
I gave up doing advanced driver training because my instructors couldn't tell me why I had to do X Y Z, just that it was safer. In short, just do it to pass the final driving test. I watch these vid's and learn. The starting quote shows a failure of mine that I'd never thought about, but it resonated with me immediately. I may not be the best driver in the world, but I have just become a mentally better adjusted one that will practice that quote.
Thanks for the vids, keep 'em up!
@1:40
It would also be totally feasible for a bike to be filtering down that hatch marking at greater speed than a cyclist.
I drive pretty much all over the country, today I have been to raf woodvale and when i was on my way back approaching the lights at the top of the m57 heading towards runcorn, I was shocked at the amount of people I witnessed running the red ligjts, I had to wait for two cycles before I could proceed as the lights change fairly quickly. But I have driven near the city and I can honestly say that its one of the worst areas in the uk.
I dont know why i love these videos so much aha
I have noticed since the lockdown eased, the quailty of driving is at its worst.
People running red lights, taking chances pulling out of junctions, and thats to name a couple.
If you have passed the driving test you are a professional driver, with enough experience to satisfy the examiner
Wasnt a single crash or incident here in Belfast at all during 'lockdown'
As soon as everything opened theres hasnt been a day wothout major traffic or a crash, especialy on the main road through and out of the city.
I have been working non stop from this crap started and driving to and from work was a dream, now its getting to be a fucking nightmare again.
Love the dry sarcasm in your videos.
Good point made regarding priority is given rather than taken when approaching a car crossing white line to pass an obstruction of their side of the road. Not a good idea to bank on other driver knowing that.
Great video as always Ashley. The name of the sunbed shop though in the second clip, Tanerife 😂😂😂😂
loved the sentence 'typical BMW driver' especially as from a BMW driver lol, all those drivers that complain when a learner is infront, yet there are morons like these on the road, enjoyed the vid as always.
it wasn't a typical BMW driver since it at least used blinkers for a mini second
@@alihorda That does change things a little, unless he caught it by accident as that usually puts them in a panic not knowing what that flashing light on the dash is.
@@will4may175 BMW drivers be like: why my car is blinking, is it malfunctioning? xd (sadly not just BMW drivers, but many "veteran" car drivers think index is for the noobs)
As a professional driver, I love seeing dangerous drivers like a see everyday of the week. It really does get my blood boiling, and sometimes, I have to laugh at the stupidity of some road users when they 100% get it wrong, be a mistake or just plain ignorance, and the best part is when they blame YOU for their mistake.
Thanks for the good video chap. Have a good day
Definitely a few shockers in there but it was also good to see "the lighter side of Ashley Neal"..... hmmm, that could be a title for a future upload.
By now, Ashley, you should never be surprised by anything 🤔. I'm not - at least not very often...... bemused is a more apt description on occasion.
I certainly can't argue with your 'take' on the various situations depicted. A few lessons can still be learned from this content. Cheers 👍👍
The increased stress and pressure many people are experiencing due to lockdown and the recession is possibly reflected in their driving - i.e less patience and concentration, more risks taken, more selfish.
Time to start my day off with a bang.
My favourite thing to get stuck behind is 3 lorries having a race across all lanes on a motorway while the one on the far right lane decides to start 'pretending' to sideswipe the one in the middle lane, finally gets far ahead enough to pull in front (Barely missing the lorry cab of the middle laner) and then having a circus show of the middle laner pulling out to try to overtake. Rinse and repeat for a good 15 mins
8:16 Happens a lot as a delivery driver, people can't wait to get around me yet when I indicate I'm coming to a stop they almost hit the back of me and sit there in shock. What do they expect when they see a supermarket van, I can't drive around all day although that would be nice.
2:30 that’s more of a McDonald’s fail than a driving fail 😂
Honestly I feel like drivers drive a lot worse than before lockdown.
Hi loved the vid clips i watch all of your clips,even the drive like an instructor and teaching erin to drive its helped me so much. i have just started my lessons again my instructor says i'm not to bad so all good so far
Artic turning right and you&the cyclist: I thought that the ziz-zag lines at pedestrian crossings also meant/enforced "no overtaking", so lorry was completely in the wrong, and cyclist may have assumed that nobody would dare to go past him if he suddenly shot across the road
I relate heavily with the tracking on to the bus. I did that a lot as a new driver. not anticipating when the bus would pull in, not putting myself into a good position, and sometimes don't have the time or space to pull out in front of the bus safely. I felt very red faced if there was someone in the car with me
That lorry overtaking was pretty scary stuff
About 6 months ago you started doing good driving compilation videos. Are there any more of those in the pipeline, they were a nice contrast to the fail videos!!
Oh, I had to read that twice. Compilations of good driving. I thought you were saying that the current videos were naff.
There’s one on the way 👍🏼
As one of the few drivers in Liverpool who take driving seriously and tries to drive properly then I've got a good chance of being featured! :)
@@dgphi No haha, the fail videos are some of my favourites too!!
In my area (South Buckinghamshire) the council have installed ANPR systems to catch red light jumpers, after several major incidents.
I really the McDonalds “saucegate”, lovely interaction!
6:05 - Do the DVSA encourage brake-gear overlap from candidates? I would have assumed setting the position, then speed, then gear to be the correct approach.
8:25 : In some countries, those who are going up a ramp have priority compared to those coming down the ramp. That's because it's easier to start your car going downhill.
Yes, but for situations like that it's reinforced with road signs. In the case of the video however, there isn't any so the oncoming traffic has to give priority.
That driver mustve forgotten he was in the UK then.
That's because there was a van parked at the side of the road so the silver car should've waited as he would need to go on the other side of the road. I reckon if the van wasn't there then both cars would be able to get through at the same time
That's the rule I've been taught.
Great video again Ashley, do you think drivers are becoming more careless because they know they can get away with it due to the lack of police presence?
That Volvo lorry driver. I think what was worse was aside from planning he probably just thought he'd choose any lane and steer wherever. I will say though Ashley a cyclist reported a few people to police for using phone behind wheel. It was on a TV series This Morning. How about you start too? He also said when he was asked why it's any of his business, we need to keep our roads safer. The people he reported even lost their license for 6 months and got 6 points.
Would that be Cyclingmikey?
@@ibs5080 I would lay heavy odds that it was indeed CM 😆.
@@grahamnutt8958 I just knew I would see a reply from you here Graham, especially knowing you are also a subscriber to CM's channel! 🙂
@@ibs5080 I heard a whisper that it is CM but have not managed to find footage on YT...... got a feeling CM posted on Twitter or FB. For security reasons I subscribe to neither lol
6:20 I'm a Red Cross Volunteer and have driven some Emergency Response Units and landrovers, onboard we use fleet network connected TomToms. Unfortunately sometime the satellite navigation system may be slow to update the route or direction change of the vehicle.
These delays to update has had me missed and taken wrong turns when responding to a urgent calls!
Typically I am ok with the local geography, I know the local neighborhoods, villages, boroughs and districts of my country. But if assistance is needed outside my country then I'll be reliant on satellite navigation, maps and the internet.
It’s as if the I don’t give a damn attitude has magnified since lockdown has eased . 👍
Yes, and it's not confined to the Liverpool area either :-(
3:40 you seem to have a liking for these VW Polo's I noticed :D. One was featured in a recent video too, unfortunately hit by another car.
I like your video it's got a lot of great points and a lot of idiots on the road full stop but in all fairness the wagon that shot the red light did not have time to break. You must remember these wagons are carrying huge loads and sudden braking can shift the Load. He was too close to the red light to stop. Give credit where it's due
Real world entertainment, love it. Incidentally VW Golf whippersnappers are worse than BMW drivers.
I started noticing all the idiots on the roads about a month or 2 ago and honestly thought people had forgotten how to drive but when i actually sit and think about it we have all become so used to it that for the most part they got ignored up until now.
During lockdown it was all the boy racers out on the streets flying about and getting caught simply because the police had empty roads to set up traps and catch them :D
Once lockdown ended oh boy was there so many accidents and idiots near where i live!
A mate of mine went to buy a BMW from a dealer and asked, 'Where's the indicators?'. 'What are they?', was the reply!
I ride a motorbike as well as drive but the biggest increase I have noticed when on the bike is the smell of weed every time I'm out you can smell it from the car in front ...
Average day as a class 2 driver . I'm not perfect but I seem to avoid their "accident" by my anticipation more and more . And taxi drivers ........ can't publish my thoughts on here.
Driving used to be enjoyable, now it feels that everyone drives so selfishly these days without any consideration whatsoever for anyone else. Sad times.
consider that when we visited the UK, we were astonished at how cooperatively UK residents drive.
Ashley, you should do a bit of driving in Florida where you'd see more careless/dangerous driving in 10mins there than you would in 10 months in UK. Your video is normal driving there.
Worrying the amount of 'drivers' in my area being prosecuted for no license and insurance. Then of course the laughable 6 points or 12 month ban, which I'm sure is a real deterrent.
@@staycalm88 it varies, then of course you've got to be able to pay it
How do you not have way more subscribers?
Some of the "wrong way on a one way" in industrial estates is intentional lazyness.
A number of years ago I was on Kirkby industrial estate (lees rd) where I was met by an oncoming car, so I stopped and made him turn around. It was a security car patrolling the estate.
It seems to me Ashley, that there are a large minority of drivers in and around Liverpool / Merseyside, who, if they are made to wait even 20 or 30 seconds longer than they deem acceptable, whether at a junction or set of traffic lights then they seem to go absolutely nuts!
I've also rediscovered how poor people are at driving (that's just the past few weeks). Also, I get the impression that they give vent to their frustration from being locked-down for so long.
Depressing and dangerous. Reflective of 'me culture' and the selfish thoughtlessness that goes with it.
pain.
I remember seeing loads of red light jumpers in Liverpool the one time I drove through it last year. I was waiting at a light that was green, but I couldn't clear and didn't want to block the junction, light turned red and a car overtook me, drove through the red and blocked the junction 🙈 saw a few examples in my hour attempt to leave the city. I thought the roads in Leeds were bad but I'd never seen light jumpers as blatant, or driving as inconsiderate as I saw in Liverpool.
I think that Lorry 🚛 had never thought to Indicator first then look for a safer gap but cut in front of the other cars
5:00 So which song were they listening to on the radio?
I'm sure to catch a lot of flack for this. I am from and in Bermuda. Always heard how tough the driving test is in England, so I would expect better. It is either people immediately forget how they drove during their test, or licenses are being given away by the DVLA (and TCD here)! I admit, I am not very patient when people do stupid things! Most people don't seem switched on to what is around and/or going on around them!
It's when they're clearly in the wrong like the van driver on the phone but they shout at you as if we're to blame! People's driving and parking is absolutely shocking from what I'm seeing now. Need more traffic police on the roads as you hardly see any now.
I drive just like that in Eurotruck Simulator 2.
2:19 - I had something similar happen. She dropped the cup down the side of the car.
Luckily most of it went down the side of the outside, but a few drops went inside the car.
To be fair, they were very good about it.
I just went in and obtained a copy of their liability insurance documentation.
I got the car valeted, washed, and the door card removed and cleaned inside.
Their insurance paid fully for the £750 worth of work, and when I wrote to their customer complaints department, they were even good enough to send me £50 in vouchers for free food.
It shows that getting angry and violent is never worth it. Remain calm, collect fact, document everything. In the long run, it's always fincially beneficial.
At the time the lorry driver has seen the traffic lights are green there is no chance of stopping. Why would someone cross at a junction when they should see the traffic is moving?
At 6m 8s you say to the pupil you need the gear now then...I don't understand that instruction if your about to stop anyway,stop in the gear on approach then select 1st.if you get the pupil to select 1st on approach surely they'd get massive engine brake as they bring the clutch up!
I say "do you need the gear now though"👍🏼
I was behind a transit van last week on way home from work and after following him for a couple of miles, we both had stopped at some traffic lights, when deciding he had enough of the red light, calmly drove off at least a minute before it had changed to green, caught up with him further up the road where he decided to change lane without checking his mirrors and nearly hitting me, from when I first came across him and parted ways, the guy was clearly too busy chatting to his mate beside him, yet if you beep them to warn you of your presence, they get funny with you even though they are the crap driver.
What is it with people going through red lights
The truck is at least 18 tons of rage at 5:23 .. I'd let it go on its way .. seemingly in a hurry and not entirely caring of the surroundings..
Gotta love people who just have to cut in front of you just to reach the other side of the road to get into the turning lane they could reach behind you in 2 more seconds ..
The virus is 'gone' so life returns to the good old 'rush where you can, time is money' .. instead of planning forth and evaluating all possibilities.
If we're recounting idiots, I have many stories, one that comes to mind is the day I had a car do an illegal u-turn right in front of me without indicating forcing me to slam on the brakes, cursed a bit and went back on my way, only for a second driver to do the EXACT same thing, not 200 yards in front of me, this time not long after leaving a roundabout! It's baffling sometimes, there was another roundabout not far up the road where they could have made a u-turn, not to mention a car park on their left they could have easily turned around in! As for people pulling out between stopped cars, this terrified me when I was on my scooter, you go slow but it happens all the time, not peeping and not creeping, sometimes they don't see you when there aren't any obstructions and you're wearing a high vis jacket with lights on, some of them will move their cars over to try and stop you filtering through traffic, as if they are so mad that you are able to pass that they feel they have to threaten you with their vehicles, I'm allowed to filter, you are protected from the elements, seems like a fair trade-off to me, plus when it's clear you can easily reach your destination faster than I can! Always expect the unexpected, I can understand people make mistakes, we're all human, but people can be downright reckless, especially when they are in a rush, struggling to get to work on time? Leave 20 minutes earlier, then you won't have to rush!
8:05 there was nothing wrong with that clip, there's a roundabout literally right next to the bus stop, you don't know if the bus is breaking to slow down to come onto the roundabout or if hes coming to a stop at the bus stop. By the time it becomes apparent that the bus is stopping, you're already in the right hand lane at speed so he cant just move over after slowing down.
City of Liverpool - twinned with Barnard Castle....
Made me laugh out loud!!
3:30 - I think the problem with that street is that it's too wide and there are no lane markings so it gives the impression (despite the signage) that it's 2 way, because it _seems_ wide enough to accomodate 2 cars travelling in opposite directions.
Personally (and I'm still relatively inexperienced), I find I spend a lot more time looking at the car in front of me than on road signs, so perhaps better markings and arrows painted on the road, (or even left turn only arrows on the driveways) might help educate drivers.
You did a video a while ago about how local knowledge can be deceiving. Could it also be that it used to be a 2 way street, which is also what is leading so many people to do this?
*shudder* lorries scare me, especially since I had one coming right at me as he was driving on the wrong side of the road. I had a couple of seconds to move out of the way and luckily I was in the perfect place at the perfect time, otherwise, I may not be here now typing this!
What the white Mercedes did was fine!
They didn't endanger anyone,the roundabout was clear,and they made use of a clear space available to make progress.
Nothing wrong by using left hand lane lane to turn right on a wide roundabout,if done with common sense.
I've noticed such a difference in the last couple of weeks on the roads, especially the motorways and dual carriageways. During lockdown driving was really nice, everyone just happy chilling at 70mph mostly in the left or middle lane, now it's more busy you get people undertaking, middle lane hogging, not indicating and just sharply changing lanes, it's so much more tense.
Local roads not much better, lot more idiots pulling out in front of you causing a need to slam on the brakes, I miss lockdown roads.
Around me the 70mph limit didn't exist 😂 every driver was doing 80 to 100+ mph and still hogging the middle lane
That was a Public Information Film from Mr Health n Safety
At first with the poor planning lorries towards the end. I thought that's not that bad he did move across to the right, over all three lanes, abit late but it was in time. Then he starts to move back...
There needs to be a fleet of traffic police driving unmarked cars.
1.34 what if the cyclists had been a motorbike passing on the right?. if Liverpool put camera's that flash when you drive thought a red light they make a lot of money.
3.30 the speeder was far worse than the accidental wrong "one wayer."
I’m gobsmacked at how many drive thru red lights and I think taxi drivers are a whole different driver a rule unto themselves
First comment I have regarding the truck overtaking stationary traffic... That's just stupid and wreckless. Somebody could walk out behind a high sided vehicle that the truck driver couldn't see and wham, dead. Second comment regarding the other driver wanting to use the m58 and then veering across the lines... Well, I'm glad nothing really came of it but better forward planning would have helped him. I'm not sure if he changed his mind or if he was in the wrong lane but damn he left it super late.
I'm assuming a lack of grip between the plastic sauce thing and plastic gloves caused the issue at McDonald's. Should be OK with the cardboard cups :)
"could you toss me a couple packets of sauce, please?"
3:38 I drive through there every day... I'll be on my best behaviour haha
Some of these lorry drivers must feel very inadequate in other aspects of their lives for them to be such enormous bullies on the roads.
The sauces probably slipped out her hand lool
Tbf since they changed switch island again those lane markings change pretty quickly if you're not a local and I have some sympathy for the lorry driver
He changed his mind
Lots of foreign lorry drivers on our roads. Maybe they get confused........or whatever!!! 🙄
They should be made to undertake driver training in countries foreign to their own, especially driving a weapon as big and heavy as a truck. And until they pass, nope, stay home!
@6:45 could be his satnav wasn't giving very clear instructions; I've known that happen all too often and you find yourself going the wrong way. What he should've done was accept the mistake and let the stupid thing sort itself out. That white merc was typical of the roundabouts down here in London and the SE, lane discipline? What's that then?
Nice to see that even BMW drivers see BMW drivers that way.
Not just Liverpool chap. Standard of driving in Bristol isn’t much better.
Same in London
Canberra Australia
the guy in the SEAT going a million miles per hour is what we car enthusiasts like to call a straight line warrior. he can only go fast in a straight line. he will crash it soon.
He will understeer off at the end corner when he realises he is going too damn fast.
@@squeakers27 literally how chavs in there financed golfs and audi s3 crash lol.
