First clip with runner is my clip.
To those who think he should be on the other side, in general yes but in this instance with the right hand bend it was better for him to stay left. What would be more scary is if he was on the right and then another vehicle came 'flying around it' and doesn't see the runner.
There was a comment that he may have been on the left the whole time and not just for the bend, and I can confirm from my footage going even further back this was indeed the case. However traffic on this road was very light and the runner was likely aware of what was going on around him, as well as travelling predictably. Note that if walking/running on the left periodic shoulder checks are a good idea.
There's also other reasons pedestrians may choose one side over the other besides visibility - which side has a verge to bail on in case a speeding vehicle suddenly arrives, quality of verges etc.
His positioning didn't cause me any issues, not much different to passing a cyclist really.
Well said and I agree.
Very nice driving by the way.
I was out on a run with an IAM master once and he told me the road ahead was clear as we went round a right hand bend. However I still held back from an overtake until I could see for myself. While it would have been OK to go, I felt as driver I needed to be sure myself before committing. Glad to see you exercising courtesy and restraint in your video. Thanks for sending it in!
Absolutely this! There is a minor road near me with no pavement that leads to a public footpath into woods. I always walk on the left for exactly the reasons you’ve stated: The visibility is much better on the bends (I can see vehicles approaching and vehicles behind can see me), plus there is a passing place and a couple of driveways, as well as a verge, should I need it.
The other side of the road has nothing and visibility is worse. I walk back in the same side too.
Something else to note is that the footpath I mentioned is on the left from where I approach, so walking on the left means not having to cross traffic.
The walk on the left thing is like the “having priority” mindset. It works up to a point but there are some situations where it’s better to just use your judgment.
As a countryside jogger, I only give hand signals to traffic to say "Whoa, stop!" if I can see on-coming vehicles that they can't.
Good tip 👍🏼
Imagine how much better drivers we would have if all dashcam channels only showed nice driving. Good Job Ashley!!
Carnage = Views.
I get your point, but it also builds an unrealistic picture of perfection. We (hopefully) learn from our and others' mistakes. 👍
It's difficult to learn without seeing mistakes 🙂 .
@@mattwardman
A mixture of seeing both good driving and bad allows you to Learn from both.
It’s very refreshing to see people behave in a smart, civilised manner on the road. In my experience, patience and anticipation are a stellar recipe for a safer and more fuel efficient experience. Thanks, as usual, for your videos and best wishes from Spain.
I’ve only just passed 6 weeks ago and these videos have been so helpful for both doing my test and for driving independently after passing! It’s given me confidence in making decisions and not allowing people to bully me to do something unsafe. Thanks Ashley!
6:32 They're doing it all wrong, I've seen it on other dashcam channels. You're meant to accelerate as quickly as you can towards the lorry so you can exclaim they pulled out right in front of you! Added points for blaring the horn and further points if you hold the horn unnecessarily long!
Spot on.
I'd like to see a video of 'Ash Reacts to' for these videos.
There is one fault, the cammer is in the wrong lane, still in the inside lane to turn left, should moved over when the black pickup turned off, he could then just merge behind the truck and not be stuck out across lanes, I was expecting some beeping from those pulling out after the lorry or someone behind who did move over.
@@will4may175 Was going to comment the same: cammer should have been in the middle lane by the time they're abeam the entrance the truck came from, would have been even less of an issue if he had been, as it'd have been a longer path through the roundabout and, as you said, a natural merge behind.
You forgot the part where you slam on the brakes and perform a full emergency stop on the roundabout (only AFTER blaring the horn of course), and then proceed to sit stationary for a good 5-10 seconds
@@misterbobEA Yes I forgot the faux emergency stop! That would get you some good bonus points.
It's been amazing watching these videos of better awareness. By taking that extra few seconds on deciding what you want to do, rather than just going for it, really has helped my driving and i've been driving 40 years now, with 25-30,000 miles a year for the past 20 of them years. It really does make a big difference, when faced with other peoples mistakes, rather than getting upset and blowing your top, with big expletives. I must admit though, a few expletives have come out! 😀 Idiots will always be idiots! The saying should be, "You can't take an idiot away from a car, but you should take the car away from the idiot" 😁
If you’ve been driving that much for that long, none of these clips should look amazing to you. So if they do, well done for committing to an improvement.
We need more positive driving videos like this. There's too much negativity out on the roads. And people love negativity. It gets views.
I see other channels where the cammer creates conflict to get footage, and then their followers come in and try to make excuses for them when viewers call them out for creating the conflict.
I've got my C+E test coming up again (3rd time (lucky as they say)) and watching your videos are helping me in awareness of the road more (I'm 49 and been driving since I past my test at 17 yrs old first time) I'm sure you're videos can help a lot of drivers if they watch them.. it's all very informative about dangers and keeping the traffic flowing.
I keep watching your c+e driving over and over, it helps. Thank you 👍
I have another lesson this Tuesday and I have to say watching this clip has calmed me. I will be actually going on the road for the first time. I really think you are one of the best drivers I have seen. I am 60 been about for a few years. It’s nice to know there are some good drivers.
That's brilliant Ron Mac. As a 60 year old myself, I enjoy my driving and earlier this year I just passed an IAM Roadsmart test for Advanced Driving. Keep at it and best wishes for your learning. We can all keep learning: I learned from a couple of mistakes I made yesterday, so there is always room for us to improve. Your presence on this channel shows you have the right attitude to succeed.
@@R04drunner1 many thanks for the kind reply I was working what it was like when you learned to drive? I am very impressed with your qualifications. I will let you know how I got on. My first lesson was just getting to know the car and what the peddles are for. I was in a car park and got to drive round. (That was the best bit) and I learned to park. Tomorrow is my first lesson on the road.
@@ronmac9522 I learned to drive over 40 years ago. There seemed so much to learn all at once, but now it's second nature. I remember struggling largely because the only driving practice I had was once a week with my instructor. I didn't have a car to practice in other than my lessons. I failed my first test and barely scraped a pass on my second try. But I always took a keen interest in driving. I subsequently took and passed my IAM Roadsmart Advanced Test in 1989, then I just completed the Masters with Distinction in May of this year. So hang in there and do use this Channel to help your learning process. Ashley's material is excellent. I particularly enjoyed his series on how to drive like a driving instructor.
@@R04drunner1 a long time to be driving. I am more worried about my arthritis as I have health problems. But I am going to drive an automatic. I am learning to drive a manual I will see how I get on. I like Ashley as he seems so calm and relaxed. I hope I get to be a good driver. I was talking to my instructor and was asking him a few questions only ones that I learned about wile watching. He was very impressed, so I will have to buy Ashley a pint if I ever meet him.
What many drivers seem to forget - or completely ignore - is leaving gaps for entrances to driveways. If you block an entrance to a driveway in stop/start/slow traffic, you could prevent the occupier/visitor from entering, therefore blocking traffic behind them before the space clears, or going to the next junction/roundabout and turning around, therefore being stuck in the traffic that the original driver is stuck in.
Just that extra bit of thought can really go a long way with keeping the flow of traffic moving.
so many people don't realize that every person you allow to get off the road improves the traffic on the road.
I love how these sometimes arrive on Sunday, before the teatime drop of dreadful driving. Excellent assistance of the ambulances in this one. Sometimes it just takes a bit of forethought and their already-stressful lives are made easier.
Very good clips! Good to see intelligent and anticipatory driving for a change. It's nice when people give a "thank you" wave.
Ashley, great work as always, very much appreciated and it has directly improved my own standard of driving.
I'd love to see you do a react video for the dashcam channels we see on here where 70% of the time (at least) the cammer doesn't realise they were also in the wrong or even the cause of the issue.
I know I have said it before, but we are all road USERs not road OWNERs, being a little thoughtful of others goes a LONG way. Nice clips good driving and well done to those drivers.
Nothing better than one of Ashley's clips to calm the anger inside after an infuriating situation. Cheers, now time to enjoy the rest of my weekend.
Thanks Ashley, I used to specifically avoid high traffic areas, sometimes going a couple of extra miles out of my way because of the stress these situations would cause me. Now I actively look forward to driving these tricky routes because I know I can help with the situation and make the roads safer and flow better. My stress levels are basically zero these days when driving. Keep up the amazing work.
The "Nice" driving continues.
Some good worthy examples.
Clip #20 "Try and arrive at a gap" - that's a lesson that I think lots of people could really learn. A little bit less throttle early and timing things makes everything go so much smoother.
Clip 14: I've been in pretty much the same situation as the cammer. Car in front is blocking a side street to the left whilst we all sit in stationary traffic. I predict what might happen and leave enough reversing space for the car in front to bail itself out of being a blocker to the side street. Funny thing is, after reversing and letting someone through, they move up again to block the side street a second time whilst we are all still stationary! And yes, they've sometimes had to do a second reverse of shame!
Same goes for the third (often fourth!) person who get stuck in the intersection turning right without an arrow. Takes them awhile to notice that I've left a car length behind the line for them so they don't block cross traffic. I bet it's not the last time they do it either!
@@unsafevelocities5687 Actually yes that's the other thing I've seen happen, namely the car in front not realizing I've left them enough space to bail themselves out by reversing! I almost want to wave my arms around and call out of the window "Hey, I've left you room to reverse out of the way".
I just do not get why so many people don't seem to understand the concept of waiting til you can clear. Like they have have HAVE to be that 1 metre closer to their destination lol.
@@TheDantheman12121 I often have to turn right out of a junction like that, you would not believe the number of people who make it difficult just so they can be one car closer to the traffic lights on red.
@@TheDantheman12121 I've lost count of the number of times I've been beeped by a driver behind me for not moving forward to block a junction, or not closing a car length gap in front of me, in a completely stationary queue of traffic
Just came here after watching the latest UK Dash Cameras video. What a difference.
The clip showing not riding into trouble is something I often do to help people out that have either past but or maybe need to pull in because a car in the flow of traffic wants to turn right. It simply helps everyone out. This year I had a lady start to pass me and a tractor, nothing wrong with the overtake to start off with except for a car pulling out of junction on our right which was blind to me and the lady. So as I could see the danger and the lady was in front of me but behind the tractor. I simply held back and also made sure the lady could see me and pointed for the lady to pull in front of me. By doing so reconfirmed it was safe and I was in no danger.
I'd like a video on why car drivers feel the need to swing out before turning right or left! "You're not driving an articulated lorry! Just turn the corner the car can make it!" *Random rant over*
Because for an example: when you turn left into a narrow side road you want the car to be lined up before entering so that your nose does not swing into the opposite side and you dont cut the corner with your rear during the process of completing the turn. It is to prevent coming into conflict with emerging traffic.
Similarly, when waiting at a t junction it is best to take a position slightly to the left of the centreline when turning right, not hard against like most do, and likewise, a couple of feet out from the kerb when turning left. At the start of the turn you should move forward a bit before starting to turn the wheel and again its for the same reason to give other traffic the most room at the point you are likely to be in conflict with, and to have done this while you have the space to do so rather than find yourself having to correct your turn while you are halfway through it should aNother car should arrive at the wrong moment....
I love this, love the fact your showing good examples of driving !
I always find it amazing how the good driving shown in these vids is not the standard.
I don't know.. I encounter more good drivers than bad.
@@Momofan69 That's always been my view. We encounter hundreds of perfectly safe drivers every day. But we only remember the handful that carved me up!
@@Momofan69 Where do you live? terrible around me, every trip 10 mile down the road something happens lol
@@TheKruxed Same all I see is selfish idiots. It is not like I never see good driving. One common thing is people not waiting til it's clear in traffic to move up. so when lights change for me I am blocked.
@@Momofan69 Drive on 20mph roads a lot and you will see plenty of bad drivers.
Excellent. I love these videos where you show the good side of people and considerate driving.
If even a handful of drivers drove like these guys the roads would be so much nicer
I had to cycle to work when my car was in the garage. It's a bit hairy on those bends, knowing that all it would take is one speeding car to crash into you. And it doesn't matter how much you hug the edge of the road, or pull over regularly to let cars past - you still get abused and drivers trying to intimidate you with close passes, revving engines etc.
I’ve often held back with trucks buses etc coming round the corner but ... I get hooted from behind!
7:53 4 drivers cutting that corner...
What cruelty. Forcing the runner to keep up his speed!
First clip - good work by the driver; joggers/runners should usually be on the right-hand side of the road so they can face and see on-coming cars and not have surprises behind them. However, on a long bend like this one in the countryside, being on the left allows the jogger to see further ahead. More reflective material would also help. I'm a runner and a driver so I always watch for runners.
Generally agree on the "zip merge for junctions" bit, but there's one situation where I'd disagree.
The business park where I work has a single exit, which leads to a very busy motorway junction roundabout. The roundabout is traffic-light-controlled, and has yellow boxes, but they routinely get blocked and in 25 years I've never seen them enforced. Even when cars have blocked the junction causing an obvious obstruction right in front of a police car.
Within the business park, the road layout is basically a single "spine road", with lots of little cul-de-sacs leading to offices or groups of offices.
If there are any delays on the motorway (collisions/breakdowns/holiday traffic/etc.) then the businesses at the back of the park are basically hostages, because everything is queued up, and every single cul-de-sac has cars waiting to leave.
What often happens is that, at each junction, people tend to do a "1:1 zip merge". So, the closest cul-de-sac to the exit gets 50% of the exit throughput. The second closest gets 25%, the third gets 12.5%, the fourth gets 6.25%, etc...
My employer is on the 8th cul-de-sac, so by that maths, we get about 0.4% of the exit throughput - two cars in every 500.
Pre-COVID, there would probably be about one day a month when it would take over an hour to leave the park (which means travelling about 500m). There have been days where it's taken over three hours.
So, at busy times, when traffic is queueing, I typically won't voluntarily allow people from the cul-de-sacs close to the exit to zip merge in front of me, unless they force their way in. It's simply to do a small bit to try to distribute the exit throughput a bit more equitably, and improve the flow.
Terrible terrible urban planning
Thanks Ashley! That is great idea and it could be fantastic series - showing people driving the right way as opposed to showing bad situations. Will be happy to watch more of these!!!!
This is Nice Driving 20, you've missed 19 other videos 😄
@@RetroAdz thanks!, Will make a search :-D
Well made video as always! It's nice to see some examples of good driving for a change. Seeing how some people use the roads can make you cynical and make you drive more egocentric, these videos promote the polar opposite. Keep making these videos!!!
10:47 Ashley the salesman finds golden chance for a dashcam pitch lol.
This happened to me as well, but instead of a jogger it was 2 women on horses.
i was trying to sell my car to 3 youths many years ago who were in the car with me and when i came upto the horses the horse riders waved me on before the blind bend, but i waited and one of the youths said "that's it don't you trust them" i then waited for the straight to then overtake them.
They ended up not buying the car though.
I wonder how many people were sat in the broken down car while it was raining. Good idea to take rain jackets and fleeces with you just in case. Imagine if the flatbed or a lorry rear ended that small car? This video shows how easily that could happen. Carry outdoor clothes and get well away.
Nice the way all 4 vehicles turning right into the side road (clip starting at 7.15) cut the corner and entered on the wrong side of the road 😅
Clip 15 with the oncoming HGV on a relatively narrow road. This highlights the importance of training yourself to take in a particular view whilst it's still there. Because quite often a view that's available for a brief moment "now"' might be gone for good a moment later. Seize the "view" opportunity whilst it's still there and before it's gone.
The taxi driver at 6:47 should know better! That junction absolutely requires a check over the shoulder. Wing mirrors won't do it there.
6:33 There is one fault, the cammer is in the wrong lane, still in the inside lane to turn left, should've moved over when the black pickup turned off, he could then just merge behind the truck and waited so not to be stuck out across lanes, I was expecting some beeping from those pulling out after the lorry or someone behind who did move over.
Nice selection, Ashley!
I do a lot of driving on country roads, and the amount of dangerous overtakes I see on blind bends is astonishing. You inevitably catch up to them at the next junction or traffic light anyway, so they've risked their lives (and others) for absolutely NOTHING.
Conversely the number of times I've seen the person now get an advantage because they catch up behind the next lorry on a straight bit and get past while you are still trying to get past the previous one is even more common.
Eventually they are out of sight and you are still trailing behind someone at a bare 40mph.
Then they get though a set of traffic lights and you don't. So you then see out from the side road at the lights yet another tractor emerging which you then (weary sigh) have to get past as well - eventually.
Finally After a few 100,00 miles on the roads you will know why they do it!
@@M9dq76 As I said, I do a lot of driving on country roads. Have done for 20 years. If you think it's worth risking your life to save a few seconds - or even a few minutes - good luck, and I hope you don't end up killing someone.
@@M9dq76 but you didn't crash into a car killing a family.
@@M9dq76 Yea, have to admit I'll be gone if people aren't overtaking a slow vehicle. People who do 30-40mph on fairly easy going corners but then want to floor it upto 70 on the straights is becoming/already is the new main issue of A road driving, see alot of people who get frustrated by it(myself included) and then they do blind corner overtakes or super dodgy things, which I certainly don't do.
I actually sent 1 to Ash recently lol, idiot in front a blind corner slowly overtaking a lorry, I just can't figure out what goes through their minds to even think about it let alone do it
Can't really hear the music at the start but it sounds like a Mozart concerto. I bet that's a good influence too :)
I did like that clip with the runner too. Don't let somebody else make your judgements for you.
2:18 interested me as you're basically merging in turn with a side road which has less traffic so it might cost flow on the main road a little, albeit I guess it's as good a solution as any if people are being patient and everyone keeps flowing.
I had exactly the same situation today as clip 19. Narrow country lane and I stopped for the cyclist and he didn't even acknowledge me! I'm also a cyclist and would never not give a wave - it costs nothing!
Who else immediately heard the dum-te-de-dum-dum of the Steptoe & Son theme music as soon as the horse's head appeared in clip #21? 🤣
Hello there buddy. Love your videos. I have noticed driving standards getting much worse recently. Its nice to see these clips of excellent driving standards to reassure that some people are thinking when on the road. Anyways, I have been a subscriber for a long time. With the section of the video showing the click of the subscribe and like buttons made me realise that for some reason I was unsubbed. Not sure why. YT up to its usual tricks I imagine. Keep up the good work. Catch ya soon.
8:20 I'm glad Ashley added "If you didn't" else I would have been stuck in a loop!
Great stops and saves by everyone. Huge👍
18# Yeah idea to leave one car length in queue empty in front after crossing to open up view more of pedestrians using crossing to oncoming traffic.
All good, I particularly liked clip 18 for awareness, quick thinking and consideration.
Good driving in the jogger clip, but HC says J should have been on the right facing traffic - in which case no pause would have been necessary.
However, perhaps mitigated by J judgement about the blind R bend.
2 days ago, I was waiting to turn right on a busy street during rush hour ...
An SUV in the opposite lane kindly flashed me to make the turn.
I spotted the danger immediately, 2 cyclists were coming up his inside - if I made the move, there would be carnage
He flashed his headlights like "why aren't you moving??" ... I pointed at the cyclists ("that's why")
Once they had passed, I executed the manouevre, still grateful about being allowed to do the turn ... but more grateful that some dozy cyclists lived to be dozy another day, and I wasn't thrown in jail - all because of somebody's "kindness" pressuring me into making the turn.
Hey Ashley you consistently make a great observation regarding flow of traffic and just being obstinate in taking the view its my right of way when just being sensible and slowing for a second or even waiting will cost you a lot less time than a horn blaring argument of whose right of way was it. 👍
The vast majority of dealing with hazards (after observing them) is expectation (learned through antiicapation) and asking yourself. "Is my exit clear?" So many don't observe the hazard developing, don't anticipate the likely outcome and therefore rush in and find their exit is not clear.
Don't always rely on sound with ambulances or any other emergency services, as some only use the sound when they are right on you, or if any at all.
it's more that with modern cars, and their sound dampening construction, you can't HEAR the sound until they are right on you.
7:20 I had a similar situation last week, there's a junction right behind a railroad crossing near where I live. People having to wait for cyclists/pedestrians going straight block the road and can cause a queue. You don't want to be queued on that railroad crossing, I often see drivers do it anyway, so I leave them room to back out of the crossing when I am behind. Often to the annoyance of people behind me.
But last week a train was approaching and the queue hadn't cleared, had I not left that space before the crossing, the driver on the crossing wouldn't be able to move out of that situation.
Lovely to see nice driving 😃 8:14 Thats one very nice truck 😍
2.39 Picton road/Wavertree road where I grew up in the 60's opposite Botanic park, brought the memories back.
With all the bad driving about it's good to see some good driving.
Another great learning episode. Thank you.
first clip reminds me of when someone flashes to let you go, but its still on coming cars in both directions. Go with your own eyes.
Seeing is believing 😅
An Audi indicating and leaving space? We have entered an alternate dimension.
It's good to see these drivers watching their surroundings and acting before situations happen. In a lot of videos I see the driver seems to be purposely accelerating to cause a problem, and then gets annoyed when it happens.
And they spotted that jogger nice and early. Well done.
No mention that in clip 14, 4 vehicles cut the corner really badly?!
I was surprised Ash didn't mention that as a good contrast.
A similar contrast occurred in clip 16 at 8:25. The behaviour of the overtaking scooter (with 'L' plates) was both dangerous and illegal.
I see a few clips of people living the slogan, "it's a roundabout, not a racetrack."
and it's a bit amusing, on our single track gravel roads, there's room for two lorries to pass, but not for two SUVs to pass. (UK equivalent would be not for two chelsea tractors to pass)
6:25 I don't think the beep would've been a bad idea, maybe the person in the car didn't see and thats why he was merging cause he thought it was clear. So a beep to let them know you are there
Clip 8 is a particular bugbear of mine. I will hold back in this situation even if there isn't emergency services coming through. You DO NOT have priority to blindly follow!
I did this once in my early days just after i passed. It all went well but the car in front had to use a gap in the parked cars to let a lorry come through. Me close behind was now stuck with nowhere to go. I soon learned my lesson.
4:20 - the Ioniq 5 following the bus is nearly as wide!
7:52 - 4 vehicles turn into the junction on the wrong side of the road. Appalling. It would almost have been better to block the junction and make them wait!
Apologies if it's already been pointed out but if you are walking or running down a road with no footpath you should always be on the carriageway running towards the traffic coming towards you. So you can see what is coming towards you, I'm not sure if it is in the Highway Code though....
It is in the highway code, along with the advice that on right hand bends like this you should cross over to increase visibility. The jogger was in the correct place.
I see many drivers who are in too much in a hurry to reach their destination not giving themselves enough time to slow down where there is potential for an accident. Often they might be lucky to save mere minutes if not seconds from their journey at a much higher risk to themselves and other people.
Thank you.
I really appreciate your videos.
It makes me more confident, aware and more up to date.
Especially knowing I’ll need to pass this on to my son soon🙏
Used your link at last and ordered my new dash cam as.... my new car arrives next week :) :) I really appreciate your channel Ash, especially all the tips about emergency vehicles (Paramedic for 21 years)
Can't wait to install the new kit into the BMW i4.... My life now changing peoples opinions of the typical Beemer driver .
Don't forget to top off that blinker fluid.
@@eurosonly 😂😂😂 Its my fave thing, confusing other road users by actually indicating and driving using the emergency services system of car control. Even more so when on my motorbike
Well, beeping could be helpful even when you sort the situation out. The other driver needs to know they did something wrong so next time they pay more attention. sometimes they know it but some other times they didn't even realise. It's all about how you do it. A couple of short ones could mean "hey, next time look a bit better. All good." but a long one is more like a reprimand, that is what we don't want...
when were you trained in analysing a road situation to have the certainty to teach other drivers?
@@tony_w839 I wasn't trained to do that. I just would like to know when I make a mistake so I can improve. If I don't realise a car was somewhere and they solved the situation without me realising, then I could make the same mistake again. If the other driver beeps at me a couple of times, I'll raise the hand, apologizing, and try to improve for the next time. But hey, maybe that's just me...
Good learning from these examples. Thanks
Clip 14 - all those people turning across the cammer's path, cutting the corner on the wrong side of the road.
Driver who passed the horse was a bit fast and not really as wide as possible. Nice work from the Horse Rider, although that's one thing I love about horse riders, we all tend to be considerate of other road users even though the amount of times other road users are not considerate to us, is scary!!
Great video as usual - good to see quality rather than poor driving highlighted. One small point on the very first clip though - the jogger should have been on the other side of the road. Running along a narrow, country road with no pavements with the traffic coming up behind you is simply dangerous and if the car driver hadn't been so alert, it could well have ended very differently.
Not while going around a corner like that, they need to be on the outside so they can see the road better, then return to the other side after the corner. Otherwise something will come the other way and have no time to react to them.
The roundabout with the did you beep comment is Keighley and one of the worst places for driving standards. That same roundabout is where a woman did exactly the same as in that video then instead of going straight onto the bypass cut into the next lane with no indication into the side of my car. Her excuse was that she was new in the area and wanted to go all the way around the roundabout but that was not the way to do it.
6:34 If everyone took that cammer's attitude at roundabouts, 80% of dashcam video channels would close overnight.
Not when someone else is along side, in the correct lane to its left to turn left. Cammer crosses a lane to turn left, should have already been in inner lane well before.
My driving instructor always said "slow in fast out" when talking about junctions
Same here but for me it was about bends on a country road. Ease off into the bend then accelerate out.
18# Yeah stop well before junctions if letting someone out like in this case it opens up the view more for upcoming traffic and traffic your letting out, think the horn could have been used a little sooner though.
I assume you earn something from the VPN advert but it really detracts from your excellent videos!
Cameron Toll roundabout with the ambulance. That bridge is forever being struck by lorries.
Yes thanks for contributers bothering to send clips in thanks 👍😁
6:25 I don't necessarily agree that people shouldn't toot their horn. I don't mean out of frustration or anger, but as a way to tell someone "hey I'm here" to make people fully aware.
i'm not entirely happy with how the last one ended. IMO cammer should have waited. the suspected learner was still trying to set off as they were going past. this could still have been an accident. and the lorry seemed to be willing to wait as well.
Clip 14 - your viewer did well; ALL the vehicles turning into that side road did abysmally, cutting across the oncoming lane 🙄
8:26 Clip 16, A Moped rider, on Euston road, not trying to get themself killed? Its a unicorn!
Clip 17 was shocking especially with a child on the bike 🙄
Nice timing!
Seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing!
10:44 are horse riders in the UK not required to have a handler with them on public roads? Here in the Netherlands it's incredibly rare to see a horse without someone walking or cycling alongside, even if it's multiple people on horseback there's always someone who isn't.
Excellent video, compared to the usual swear and things
I find that drivers joining the motorway from a slip road believe that the driver in the inside lane that they wish to join has an obligation to brake to permit them on. Most drivers do brake to accommodate those arriving from a slip road but I have observed entitled drivers get extremely annoyed when they cant get on from the slip road without having to brake themselves. Conditions sometimes require the driver who occupies the motorway lane from braking to make room for the car from the slip road. I wonder if people who join motorways from "their" regular slip road have become spoiled by polite road users but when circumstances require the slip road user to brake, they become irate.
I don't believe the joger, even though a bit further along, could see a clear road when he signaled.
Nope, I get it with cyclists alot due to the slalom and hilly country roads near me.
You'd be surprised how good visibility is when you're right on the outside of a bend like that, and your head is higher up than a driver's. Still wise not to trust him, but he may have had a clear view.
Another fantastic video Ash...... People's stupidity and lack of knowledge never fails to amaze me.
Clip 3 is Cameron toll in Edinburgh
