I'm sorry. Whilst the cyclist in the early parts of the video had every right to be annoyed with the cars highlighted, saying that "He was so distracted by them that he made mistakes" doesn't wash with me. When we drive a car, we have to be aware of EVERYTHING, and not just the bad drivers/cyclists. When you are vulnerable on a cycle, and there are even more vulnerable pedestrians around, this should be doubly true.
Obviously police drivers are specially trained to drive within a potentially dangerous distance from the vehicle in front of them. Also, should the worst happen, they're fully trained to shine the light of blame onto the other driver.

Third cycling video they think it’s a ‘good pass’ ? Which bit? The the car is still fully across the central line approaching the blind corner and when the car is straddling it a matter of metres from the apex? After the previous two critiques I think the best thing the cyclist can do is get a bus pass. They obvs have absolutely no clue.
While there is no specific offense for undertaking, doing it outside of congested traffic is against the UK highway code and it can very easily be prosecuted as dangerous driving. The Police do understand, though, that most undertaking only happens when people are lane hogging - and it is sometimes safer to roll past on the left than to join the mayhem caused by lane hogging morons and everyone trying to get past. You can very easily get prosecuted for undertaking if other options are present, though.

@@bthorne180607 that is definitely not true ! Try it out in front of traffic cops and find out ! The middle and outside lanes are for overtaking only. That’s a fact
@@bthorne180607 Your theory doesn't hold up to fact. Lane one is also a 70 limit, as is lane 2 and lane 3 or 4 in some places. If there's nothing in lane 1 and you are on lane 2, you are a lane hog, that's not opinion and to prove that, you can get a bollocking or worse from cops.
@@750triton but the theory does hold up to fact, in 4 questions it can be proven 1. Is the speed limit 70? Yes 2. In all lanes? Yes 3. To cause an obstruction, would the car behind need to be speeding? Yes 4. Where’s the law being broken? Nowhere apart from the person behind speeding, forcing the 70 mph car into a hogging situation So you can see the theory is actually spot on, however it only works doing a perfect 70
The car being followed by the police should move over because they're not overtaking or turning right. The police being behind them is irrelevant. You don't have to move out of the way of the police just because reasons, the coppers should have either pulled them over and had a quick word, or let it be. No need to tailgate them like that when there was no emergency (and if there was the cops could easily have undertook the car or put their lights on to move them over)
5:00 - the police car DIDN’T have its blues & twos on, so therefore was not on an emergency call. There was no need for the car in front to get out of its way, although they shouldn’t be in the outside lane unless they are overtaking or that lane is for one direction and the inner lane is for another.

The lane hogger with police car behind. It could be said that the police car was doing exactly the same thing. He had no blues&twos, didn't seem in any hurry. I know its not allowed on motorways, but on ordinary main roads?
im struggling to find any information on this. All lane hogging info i can find all refers to motorway lanes. Therefore I can only assume that its not relevant to ordinary main roads.
Has anyone considered that the car was actually doing the speed limit. If they were, and they had mover over then the copper went past, Suerly the copper would have been speeding....... ...... Sorry, sorry what am I thinking, the rules don't apply to the police, they just do what they feel like.
To the cyclist, you was so fixated on others that you couldn’t see where you was going? First worry about what you’re doing then complain about others.
I think this person stayed in the outside lane due to the left lane being a straight on/left turn lane. Probably just trying to avoid potentially being held up by others wanting to turn left
Time the first cyclist stopped blaming anyone and everything other than themselves. The ignorance and arrogance of actually posting the clips, says it all.
4:40 Why is the police car not lane hogging, but the car in front IS? The cop COULD pull into the left lane and pass on the inside so long as they don't start weaving across lanes. Making headway in your own lane at or below the speed limit when other lanes are moving slower than yours isn't normally considered dangerous driving.

I don't agree. We saw two examples of a cyclist getting unnecessarily fixated on one thing and nearly gettiing somebody killed - in the first case, himself. Fair play though: he admitted his fault.
Middle lane in front of police nothing wrong there no blue lights. Sticking to speed limit. You hanging behind is dodge that's a single carriageway two lanes or not you can go past.
The car didn't have to move over for the police yes the car shouldn't stay in the second lane. But the police didn't have its lights on so the car didn't have to move
The front car should be in left lane to let other traffic pass whether the car behind is police or not. In saying that the car behind can also undertake.
There's no reason for the police to pull the Vauxhall over. It's not a motorway so if you need that lane due to the route you are taking then you can be in there. A lot of fuss over nothing in that video.

why does the "middle lane hogger" need to move over for the police exactly? they are ahead of you so obviously going faster. maybe they are on the speed LIMIT? if the police car hasn't got their blues and two's on, then i'm confused mr bike, why do they need to move over? road etiquette MAYBE, but breaking any laws? unless you show us your speed we only have your narrative don't we? the police not pulling them over may be a clue.....
@@lukekelly9616 who said they were lane hogging? you just assumed without even knowing the full facts. you don't know anything about the speeds of the vehicles in question, nor the layout of the road ahead whether there is a right turn further down which means planning ahead. if they were on the speed limit then overtaking would not be allowed would it einstein as that would mean speeding. blues and two's are relevant, because a) the police aren't on an emergency so don't need to move over and b) they found no reason to reprimand the driver as they were possibly on the speed limit. so by your sound logic, if everyone drove on the left lane in this clip, would that help or hinder traffic flow? hint: this is town driving which is why there are 2 lanes?......take your time. i would seriously take time to brush up on the highway code and it's guidance and learn some basic common sense whilst you're at it as well.
@@EricSmith-km1jb I and those who know the Highway Code said he was lane hogging. Doesn't give two shits what vehicle was behind or what speed it was doing. There is no proof he was taking a right hand turn ahead and no proof he was doing the maximum speed. It's on a multi lane road. The same rules apply to a motorway or dual carriageway. *Keep Left* unless overtaking or on DC or single carriageway. Read the fkn Highway Code.
@@lukekelly9616 you know nothing about their speed yet arrogantly assumed a lot. I'll go slowly for you (pun intended)....If they were travelling at 37mph which is speeding in a 30mph zone, then they are ALWAYS GOING FASTER than vehicles in both lanes so not hogging, yet you think they should still move over to the left because driving in the right lane is hogging.....hogging what and who exactly? who's overtaking them? you're probably one of those brainiacs who signal when they change lanes on an empty motorway right? "There is no proof there is a right turn ahead"...but there is no proof there isn't one either is there einstein? usually when you see two lanes in town driving, that means there is a right turn further down the road einstein....so the probability is there IS a right turn further down in which case this driver could be planning ahead. As i said earlier, you might want to read up a bit on traffic calming measures for town driving taken by councils. clue: multiple lanes are one of those einstein....i'll go slowly again....if everyone drove on the left, would that create a longer queue or shorter behind if the right lane was kept empty and how would that affect congestion? ..and why are you quoting motorway guidance for town driving???? You should quit whilst you're behind here einstein.

I don't agree. We saw two examples of a cyclist getting unnecessarily fixated on one thing and nearly gettiing somebody killed - in the first case, himself. Fair play though: he admitted his fault.
@@jeremypnet Yes, and there was some poor driving in all of them too, worst of all the overtake right approaching a roundabout.
Middle lane in front of police nothing wrong there no blue lights. Sticking to speed limit. You hanging behind is dodge that's a single carriageway two lanes or not you can go past.
The car didn't have to move over for the police yes the car shouldn't stay in the second lane. But the police didn't have its lights on so the car didn't have to move
Why didn't they have to move? Car was in the wrong lane for over 3/4 mile, overtaking nothing but fresh air.
@@CJ0175 how do you know they was in the wrong lane? 🤔 you don't know if left lane was turn left only so they was forward planning.
@@CJ0175 if the guy in the car is wrong in your eyes then so should be the police car because what was they overtaking?
The front car should be in left lane to let other traffic pass whether the car behind is police or not. In saying that the car behind can also undertake.
It's called DASHflix. Not here for wobbly handlebar footage of cars passing at 25mph whilst you have an empty pavement 2 feet to your left
There's no reason for the police to pull the Vauxhall over. It's not a motorway so if you need that lane due to the route you are taking then you can be in there. A lot of fuss over nothing in that video.
7.04 whats the speed limit in lane 3 ?
same as lane 1 and 2
70, so in theory if your doing 70 you could be in any lane
@@bthorne180607 corect
@@bthorne180607 It's theoretically possible to do 70mph on the hard shoulder but that doesn't make it right or legal.
@@slacko1971 you should be doing 70 to rejoin in theory so your right
Boooooring, a lot of non event clips padded out to make the 3 clips fit 8 minutes, seriously, 1 clip of a very nervous cyclist take 25% of your video, thumbs down, do not recommend channel
Fast lane?
wtf is mglf?
Motoring Gobshite I'd Like To Fuck. Errr I think.
Must get in front. It seems to be an excuse used when you don't pay attention and try to blame others for your own mistakes
@@JSmith19858 Why write a 20 minute long poxy essay but say mgif like that? lol It is just stupid. Yea and that is true, seemed to be used a lot to blame others here.
@@Pobsta-de7hbyes better to just type in in full, so the rest of us mere mortals can understand the comment !.
That cyclist was a case of ‘I have a camera, I have power over everyone. I will show everyone how bad they are. And prove that I am important’. Just pathetic.
Police didn’t have the blues on so how was the car to know? You can argue that he should keep left but is there actually any law for that on those roads? (Genuine question is that, I understand middle lane hogging on motorways).
In short, both as bad as each other, police wanted to get past they should’ve sounded the siren I’m sure they would’ve shifted over
Yes, keep left unless overtaking. Applies to any multi-lane road.
@@CJ0175 alright, fair enough but still if police wanted to get past so fast instead of tailgating just flash the lights maybe? Got to hold everyone to the same standard of driving
@@CJ0175 cops were speeding and tailgating, both are offences as well as the illegal overtake on the motorcyclist
Cop did not have his lights on so the other driver need not get out of the way.
Did the driver at 6:07 really warrant a clip on Dashflix? Went to the middle land and accelerated off.
But they didn't accelerate off did they. They simply sat in the middle lane with all the other mongs whilst the inside lane was empty.
@@nigelheath7048 Well they did accelerate away from the cammer and looked to be going about the same speed as the car in the outside lane. Nothing to se here!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@dopiaza2006 Maybe there was slow traffic up ahead which we couldn't see? I'm not condoning lane hoggers but my point is, did such an inane clip deserve to be on here?
@@gingerwoods616 And suggesting that you’re straightaway going to pull into lane 2 and put the two vehicles dangerously close together for a period of time. The very least he could’ve done is first built up a gap in lane 1. But instead he was one of the “Can’t be in lane 1 brigade”
6:30, strange indeed. The left lane is empty, so less exhaust gasses in front of you, you have a good overview on all traffic and nobody is in front of you. Some people think that the inside lane is for pussies.
The "lane hog" didn't have to move over as the police car was not on an emergency, the police could also be cited for lane hogging too.
Whether it's on emergency or not, the outside lane is for overtaking. Car in front should be using left lane.
Cyclists do not have a dash
The congestion s building up not because the lane hoggers because people can not go in and out from slip roads and also waay to stuck up to even look to the left or right to keep safe drivingflow…..

😂😅 Your girlfriend must be so proud of you !..
why does the "middle lane hogger" need to move over for the police exactly?
they are ahead of you so obviously going faster. maybe they are on the speed LIMIT? if the police car hasn't got their blues and two's on, then i'm confused mr bike, why do they need to move over?
road etiquette MAYBE, but breaking any laws? unless you show us your speed we only have your narrative don't we?
the police not pulling them over may be a clue.....
Having blues and twos is irrelevant. The outside lane is for overtaking and not lane hogging. The very same as a motorway.
@@lukekelly9616 who said they were lane hogging? you just assumed without even knowing the full facts. you don't know anything about the speeds of the vehicles in question, nor the layout of the road ahead whether there is a right turn further down which means planning ahead.
if they were on the speed limit then overtaking would not be allowed would it einstein as that would mean speeding.
blues and two's are relevant, because a) the police aren't on an emergency so don't need to move over and b) they found no reason to reprimand the driver as they were possibly on the speed limit.
so by your sound logic, if everyone drove on the left lane in this clip, would that help or hinder traffic flow? hint: this is town driving which is why there are 2 lanes?......take your time.
i would seriously take time to brush up on the highway code and it's guidance and learn some basic common sense whilst you're at it as well.
@@EricSmith-km1jb
I and those who know the Highway Code said he was lane hogging. Doesn't give two shits what vehicle was behind or what speed it was doing. There is no proof he was taking a right hand turn ahead and no proof he was doing the maximum speed. It's on a multi lane road. The same rules apply to a motorway or dual carriageway. *Keep Left* unless overtaking or on DC or single carriageway. Read the fkn Highway Code.
@@lukekelly9616 you know nothing about their speed yet arrogantly assumed a lot.
I'll go slowly for you (pun intended)....If they were travelling at 37mph which is speeding in a 30mph zone, then they are ALWAYS GOING FASTER than vehicles in both lanes so not hogging, yet you think they should still move over to the left because driving in the right lane is hogging.....hogging what and who exactly? who's overtaking them? you're probably one of those brainiacs who signal when they change lanes on an empty motorway right?
"There is no proof there is a right turn ahead"...but there is no proof there isn't one either is there einstein? usually when you see two lanes in town driving, that means there is a right turn further down the road einstein....so the probability is there IS a right turn further down in which case this driver could be planning ahead.
As i said earlier, you might want to read up a bit on traffic calming measures for town driving taken by councils. clue: multiple lanes are one of those einstein....i'll go slowly again....if everyone drove on the left, would that create a longer queue or shorter behind if the right lane was kept empty and how would that affect congestion?
..and why are you quoting motorway guidance for town driving????
You should quit whilst you're behind here einstein.
I know this is an old comment but Jesus Christ you're thick! If you can't understand keep left then let's hope you don't have a license@@EricSmith-km1jb
6:26 if he’s going 70, then logic says he’s not hogging the middle lane
Logic also says "you don't know how to drive on a motorway"
@@darksta01 explain then if you’re going 70, no one should be passing you, rendering the argument for hogging the middle lane invalid 🫳🎤
If slower than 70 then yes you would be hogging the middle lane, but you can’t argue with the logic, the speed limit is 70 for cars and bikes, so at no point should you be doing more so it’s impossible to hog the middle lane if doing 70.
Real life says that’s never going to happen but my friend the logic is there
@@bthorne180607 🤣😆😆
@@darksta01 would you not agree that logically it’s not possible to hog the middle lane if your doing 70 then? In theory the logic is there, just saying
@@bthorne180607 Your 70mph might not be my 70mph. Your speedo could be overreading by up to 10% (so you're only doing 64), but I could be doing 70mph measured on GPS. Pull the f**k over if you're not overtaking anything, it's really simple.
Merc driver was steering a Dinghy 24 hours earlier 😢
WTF is an MGIF?
'Must Get In Front'. Used to describe those drivers' attitudes of insisting on overtaking certain types of vehicles, typically for no good reason. Often overtaking a lorry, bus, caravan or someone pulling another kind of trailer. Another one I see occasionally is 'MPT' (Must Pass Truck).
@@andrewjones-productionsBetter to just type this in full in the first place. Since I also had no idea what that meant either !...
Might go ice fishing.
The Vauxhall corsa was not blocking the piggy wagon, if, the corsa was traveling at legal speed limit, besides the cop car was displaying blue lights.
