Highways Maintenance just drive how they like, feeling like giving up indicating myself as nobody else bothers 😂🤣🤣
That lorry at 07:55 (approx) - His reg Is *DE72SVJ* . It wants highlighting and publicising because he should be done for *dangerous* driving. He could have caused a major pile-up with serious injuries.
Dangerous driver and an idiotic bully.
Sainsbury's.
I agree with the first clip at the roundbout that it is a big deal when people don't indicate. People should ALWAYS indicate, even if there are no other cars about. This is because driving well is more of a matter of habit than thought. I think people's general laziness is to blame for their bad habits on the road.
19:52. Anyone with any sense would look at the dismounted rider and ask themselves WHY they are dismounted; in the case of a possibly highly strung race horse, it could be the horse is being skittish, and they have dismounted to try and keep it calm - and act accordingly with their great noisy car.
I have been in situations where even the engine idling has been enough to spook a horse, and had to switch my engine off until the group were well past me.
8:38 Last week i was on the M25 anticlockwise on the A3 slip. The queue was 2.7 miles long. In the final 1 mile before the turnoff, I saw 12 cars/vans queue-jump, two of them in the final 0.1 mile. SO dangerous.
At a light controlled junction you having a red with amber unequivocally means that any 'conflicting traffic' has a red. The latest that 'conflicting traffic' can get a red is when your lights go from red to red with amber. (DfT Traffic Signs Manual, Chapter 6.5) Generally if the junction is of any size the opposing red will come on before you get red with amber to give the junction time to clear. The time between conflicting traffic getting a green (the 'intergreen time') is normally at least 5 seconds, where there are filter lights the intergreen time may be as low as 3 seconds but never less.
Don’t forget that a green light means go, you still have to check to make sure it’s clear and if you don’t and cause an accident you will be to blame
At 1:05 , there's a habit now of indicating, when two thirds of the manoeuvre have been completed. Obviously, too long an indication might give the impression that the signal has been inadvertently left on, but bad practice has crept in once more in my opinion. 🤔
I have to admit that when I was a "professional driver", I used to undertake middle lane hoggers, as my vehicle was 36 feet long and restricted to 100 kmh (60mph) and not allowed in lane 3, so rather than sit at 50, I`d undertake. And I noticed with great interest that the California is still open on Brighton Road.
It's not undertaking if you stay in your lane.
In the 1st clip (trainee Audi driver - Fiat 500) you should pay a visit to Milton Keynes, the land of roundabouts - the amount of idiots that can't be bothered to indicate !
Ah rotten drivers, what would we do without em? Enjoy driving again!
It's amazing, around here, how many people will indicate right when they are going straight ahead if say the choice is only left or straight ahead
That is very common on roundabouts. Indicating right...then suddenly exit the RAB to the left.
A lot of people do this to let you know they are not turning left, quite considerate really
@@sillybait1329 But if following the HC advice, as you passing the exit prior to yours you indicate left. That is a clear message to other RAB users around you of your intentions.
The number of people who misuse trade plates nowadays. We have someone near me who regularly uses them he comes home with and quite often with only one on display.
8:10 i think that was a unmarked Sainsburys Lorry.
i think your right we deliver to sainsburys depots and some of them have plain trailers and units
Maybe the breakdown trucks had a " my other vehicle is an Audi" sticker somewhere.
Thanks for the secret message Tony x😂
I quite often don't take any notice of other peoples indicators to be honest unless of course i'm behind them lol . I'll wait at a junction until they've actually turned and i'll only go at a roundabout based on having correct time and distance coming from my right and not based upon their indicator . I'm pretty sure it's your fault if you pull out at a junction on someone that was indicating to turn but doesn't.
ALWAYS brightens my day!
re. 22:10, driving examiners would definitely agree: causing other vehicles to slow down or stop when you're pulling out is an automatic fail
The aggressive white lorry driver at 8:03 almost certainly works for Sainsbury's or a contractor.
Totally agree - Trailer 6738, livery & encrypta seal on back door - BUT unless it’s changed DHL will be doing the haulage.
Activate your indicator at least two seconds before manoeuvring. Some motorists signal only after they've begun to decelerate and are turning."
When I first learnt to drive, when I was 21 yrs old, we didn't need signs, lines or indications on the road - we only had the Highway Code and had to know it and the road signs in it!
I completely and utterly agree with you about altering another driver's speed when pulling out of a junction. I'm pretty sure it's still part of the Highway Code, as well. It really bugs me when I'm on a national limit A-road and somebody decides to pull out when I'm coming towards them at 60 mph! Do they not realise they're putting both their lives and those of myself and my family at risk? Not to mention, they're being rather brave in deciding my brakes are good enough!
When I was at college I had a mate, Pete Long, who during the summer used to do trade plate deliveries to earn a bit of extra dosh. Tales were told over beers, mostly I might add of the antics of the _other_ trade plate drivers that Pete encountered - Pete was pretty responsible as proto-goth motorbikers go (If you want to see what Pete looks like find a copy of the TV programme "The Comic Strip Presents: Summer School" and look for an extra who's 6' tall and who fits that description. I'm in there too, as are several other mates, but I'm not telling you how to find me.). Let's just say that if your car delivery involves a stage with a trade plate driver, don't expect it to be treated gently. The "tastier" your new car, the more likely that it was mercilessly thrashed on its way to you.
Many thanks for sharing this “educational” video Tony. Many thanks for sharing with us, much appreciated 👍👍👍
Am I the only one? The more I watch, the more it amazes me that the police nationwide haven't picked up on the treasure trove you and other content creators highlight. Just think of the money they could potentially raise and the clowns they could remove from our roads. A simple dashcam file sent providing proof - what more could they want? Motorists be doing the job for them (with a better success rate lol). Win/win for road users and the police surely? Another belter of a vid, as usual!!!
They (the police) do this, search for "operation snap". Dashcam users can upload video to the police who will, if appropriate, act on it. Depending on which police force it is, it can be a bit of faff which is why although I have sent the police evidence of egregious behaviour I don't upload all the naughtiness I see on the roads. I reckon that with assembling the video, editing it into a cogent form that satisfies the police's requirements. filling in the form and uploading the video takes me a bit over an hour. The police are a bit unnecessarily cagey at telling you the outcome, but as far as I can tell the four incidents I have uploaded have all led to satisfactory outcomes.
@@ianmason. My local force has an open line for dashcam footage, and according to the local paper lots of convictions too. Also available to view on their website.
You can see, as you pull onto the A3, the start of the 'garden bridge' they are building over the A3 to connect both heaths together.
I am old school & indicate wherever. However, in doing my CBT (I ride a motorcycle) I have been told if I am going straight at a roundabout I don’t need to indicate. The fart in the Fiat could have been going straight ( across you/to your left). While you were talking about the recovery truck, I noticed I road work truck go across the hatch markings & squeeze himself into the slip road.
This is for London Dash Cam: watch Ruby Dash Cam latest video & wait for #3 (in bottom right corner)
Always indicate, especially on a RAB. If you are going straight on you are taking the second exit therefore an indication is required.
@AndrewWhite-fu7bn indicate if its going to be of any use to other road users. If the road/roundabout is clear then there is no point in indicating.
@@scienceexperimentsforhomee261 But do we ALWAYS know that the RAB is clear? No, I would argue.
@@AndrewWhite-fu7bn What is a RAB?? When I did my CBT I was told to treat 4 way roundabouts as cross road junctions. I don't.
@@ianlove1215 RAB, = Roundabout. p.s. What is a CBT?
Thanks The London Dash Cam 🚕🤗👍
5:26 Very difficult to make out the last part but the first part I believe reads ET68. The last part appears to read "ONP" - that does come up with a 1.8 hybrid black toyota.
You have great eyesight if you can see that, just looks a blur to most of us
Yeah...all you old timers x
@@minigamers1255 Viewing in 2k on a computer monitor, slowing it to find the clearest frames but still very much a blur to me too. I trialled a couple of those last letters but they didn't come up with the right car, if at all. Lots of experience in reading registrations too.
Travel to Leatherhead from the M3 was bad enough in the mid 90's. Really glad to have moved away from that area when I did 😮
Incorrect/missing number plates on trailers and trailers being used in lane 3 of the motorway are two ever increasing problems, and I cannot recall ever seeing a driver pulled over for committing these offences.
I got pulled over for not having the correct number plate on a trailer (as I had just purchased it) a couple of years ago, got off with a warning and got the plate made (drivers licence and insurance must be provided) the same day.
It's not only trailers that have missing number plates, there are a lot of boyracers driving around with missing front plates as well, technically they are not complying with construction and use regulations which means they shouldn't be on the road so their insurance is probably invalid to, not that half of them are insured in the first place anyway,
@@CB1000FP1 trailers with a reg that does not match the reg of the car towing the trailer are also illegal.
@george-ev1dq very true
7:32 that was bad planning.
I think the lorry at 8.02 is Sainsburys
What would it matter? You want us all to boycott Sainsburys?
@@GaryMansfield-f6z Ummm no! I shop in Sainsburys and will continue to do so. The driver is obviously a danger on the roads and needs to be reported.
Yes - those recovery drivers do think they are special, above the law. Pillocks.
lol are you sure we are not related? because i was watching you with the Audi and we both said an expletive at the same time....my brother from another Country? and again the area where (PA ,USA) i live, they finally put in roundabouts and I love to go down and watch the Action begin
1:50 Surprising that the broken thing on the Audi was something other than the blinker or maybe there are two things wrong with the car
14:59 Fiat 500 again - LA72HYO - wrong number plate on the moped - thought it looked a bit shabby for a 72 plate !
Hi Tony, another classic video.
@3:00ish about the AUDI...here's a question for you...if the Audi put the roof down what would you call it then? A: a fuc$ing mobile skip 👍
I _think_ you'll find that one has already been taken by the Lada Riva with the roll up cloth sunroof.
And in the old days a Skoda.
@@AndrewWhite-fu7bn Very true :)
"Wide car syndrome" is a disease that affects those who think they are driving buses/trucks/tractors when in fact they are driving cars. I've witnessed it myself plenty of times. Over the middle line to turn even though there is plenty of space to get around. It's the same as the people who have to use the turn lane AND the lane next to it to turn. "Wide car syndrome".
Growing up with a dad who served in the Navy, I learned it as a "battleship" turn. I drive a full-sized truck and I've clipped the inner curb a few times making a right-hand turn (USA), so I've learned to drive out a wee bit farther into the lane I want before turning. Amazing how going from a Honda Civic to a truck will extend your wheelbase! I don't do battleship turns unless the turn to my right is more than 90 degrees and there's no way to get around without hitting the curb. My daughter drives a lorry...I'll have to ask her if she finds herself doing wide turns in her family car!
I call it invisible trailer turning, I have witnessed 51’ trailer units using less space than Karen or Dave in their Chelsea tractor
Great videos ❤
I've had a couple of weird non indicators recently - well, one near miss (as a pedestrian) and one weird BMW (yes, a BMW which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but was very strange how they did it)
The one where I was a pedestrian and was waiting to cross just near a mini roundabout, saw a person waiting at the mini roundabout which was to my right, with no left indicator. Once all the other traffic had gone past, I started crossing as the car - who I thought was turning right and therefore away from me by virtue of their lack of left indication, pulled out from the roundabout, and turned left, at which point I was maybe 2 steps out into the road.
The BMW one was weird by virtue of a series of events:
1) BMW turned left at mini roundabout without indicating
2) BMW proceeds to then immediately drive straight through a pedestrian crossing while the lights were on red
3) BMW starts pulling out to overtake parked cars without indicating (hardly an issue on this road though as it's wide enough to pass the parked cars while there are cars coming the other way). The next bit is where it gets weird
4) BMW then indicates left, to indicate they are straightening up and continue to pass the long line of parked cars. Yes, a BMW indicated, albeit in the weirdest way ever.
5) BMW subsequently a bit further along the road works out how to correctly indicate prior to making a right turn.
BMWs are exempt from stopping at pedestrian crossings and red traffic lights. I should know: as a pedestrian on a zebra crossing on three separate occasions, a BMW ( different one each time, but same crossing) has driven straight over, one only missing me by about a foot. Absolutely got him nowhere, as he had to stop in a line of traffic about 20 metres further up the road. There were cameras at the crossing, but I don't know if any of them got done for it. Crossing has now been replaced by a Pelican crossing.
Love your videos. Have watched them from day 1 and totally agree with your considerate driving and explanation of rules. one thing I don't like too much is when you mention German cars for Audis, BMs and Mercs. Why? Most, if not all, the ones you highlight have British plates which probably means they are driven by Brits. Don't blame the tool, blame the tools behind the wheel? Cheers!
He is....its the type of people that buy them
It is the drivers I'm having a pop at not the cars but these bad drivers always drive German cars, believe it or not I actually really like Audi's I'm just not to keen on most of the drivers.
@@thelondondashcam
And hey you Tony...I've got a German car. Not an audi tho😄
that white lorry could be Sainsburys
Greetings from Casablanca Morocco to my beloved nation, the Brits ❤❤❤❤
Hi brother x
How do you do Suzie !
Are you from LAND'N?
This geezer make me giggle with his accent.
Do you ever watch * Road morons * It's the dog's bollocks 😉
Nope...not a Londoner thank God. Yeah Tony is so funny, he is a great entertainer ❤
Crossing chevrons bound by solid white lines is a big no-no.
There's two lanes you get one. Some people take it out of the middle
Had an Audi doing crazy stuff in front of me - came up with a new term - Ausehole
''Audiot'' works a treat (I own 3)
Could be someone from Austria or Australia. Better stick with always an Audi. Although that's not quite true as all makes of car have demons behind the wheel.
ohhh the Audiacity of these drivers
@@GaryMansfield-f6z I'm Ford up with all these Audi comments.
Im a lorry driver myself driving artics these roads get worse
@22:20 - also, whilst the distance for the van pulling out looks ok on the video, dashcams DO make the distances look far greater than they actually are.
Give out free indicator oil.
I've noticed the small cars need that extra room to make turns (FIAT 500s).
Small cars are also the worst for cutting corners.
My dad taught me many, many years ago to be very careful with horses because they can be very skittish.
Watch the vlogs from horse guards to see how often they are closed due to demonstrations and parades.
Could have been a real mess if the rider had been thrown because of the AUDI driver's actions.
I would expect that provided the towing vehicles lights are visible it would be OK.
Loaded a different story no plates a big no no.
As you sometimes say "where are the police??"
My dad always said the only thing indicating proves is that your bulb works…in other words even when people do indicate you can’t always trust they’ll do what they’re indicating!
^^^ this, I only take it as a guide, I wait to see what someone actually does
My dad always said that even if you are the best driver in the world, you must treat everyone else like an idiot (meaning, expect them to do something stupid), that way you will survive!
Someone I knew said that the only thing an indicator shows is that they managed to turn it on. I always wait until I see what they actually do.
Indicating just proves the bulb is working, not working, working......@meson183
@@irpnet That cliche is so last century. Treating all others as idiots is the fast route to nowhere and your reserved space in an endless traffic queue.
Not indicating should be classified as dangerous driving and carry a fine and 3 points
(@ 21:59) "... they even put lines on the road for you ..." - which then get worn away by tyre wear, and they are very slow at repainting them. Cameras ? Hefty fines ? At least enough to pay for the repainting ?
Where you have a lane coming off divided by a road marking with short lines and gaps, technically its a completely different road. People who use it to gain progress spikes should come out the road , with warnings obviously
10:15 they've put the concrete barrier in the wrong place. Should be placed on the other side of the slip lane.
Indicators are optional extras on there cars
It's about time lane cutters and hoggers get prosecuted! Put more cameras on at roadworks just not only for speeding?
Fart In A Fiat...Classic❤
Yea you're right; the recovery vehicles are taking the pith. They're not entitled. Being the cynical tw@t I am. i'll put money on that theyre doing it as quick as they can so they can be back on station to take the next one...time is money after all, they just think that they can bully the way in, as theyre more important.
The pick up will be classed as a commercial vehicle, whilst towing It should not be exceeding 60 mph on dual carriageway/ motorway
It’s my pet hate people that don’t indicate ❤
Mine too...that and tailgating x
@@suziforester Trophy women driving their trophy Range Rovers are mine.....
What does Trophy Women mean ?
@@suziforester Women who have used their looks to 'bag a wealthy guy'. The guy only gets her because he has money. In return she gets a nice easy non-working life which will include a 'trophy car'. They're dead easy to spot, almost always an all-white or jet-black Range Rover, they usually have blonde hair, and almost always have sunglasses resting on the top of their head. oh, and they can't drive for toffee.
@@suziforester I think she means trophy wives?
American perspective: Where I live, it's a $500 fine to not hook up your trailer lights, and if you are on the expressway, the cops are bound to catch you at some point. Also, that motorcycle filtering on the motorway is just dangerous, and as an American driver don't understand why they allow this in Europe. Motorcyclists are not allowed to filter (at least not in my state) and need to take the space just like any other vehicle, waiting in queues like any other driver.
Disagree. Motorbikes use less fuel and take up less space. If there is a holdup, why stop those who can go through without risk? Save the environment! Filtering is good; I always give way to bikes on roads!
@@BlackArabYT
Agreed
@@suziforester I have always thought that 'filtering' is a dodgy move for bikers. I have seen a couple come a cropper when doing it on motorways as cars move over to the next lane.
Motorcycles can filter through standing traffic. Motorcycle Instructors advise 5 to 10 MPH. Irresponsible bikers will ignore this and barrel through the traffic.
@@suziforester Maybe. But I have seen filtering in moving traffic on many occasions. Foolish, I would say.
People need to realise that if they are being undertaken by someone who is not breaking the speed limit then its cos they're in the wrong lane, they need to stop acting like it's the undertaking person who's the shit driver.
Get in....first again❤
Allow me to acknowledge your superiority in this issue. I fully expect you should wallow in your success, while us plebs and peasants fawn at your feet, submit to your greatness, and prepare to lick your feet to taste success....
20:25+ Shouldn’t those horse riders be wearing hi-vis vests when using such a busy road?
Good point 👍
I feel like my road is screwed
Reason: there’s a BMW house on it
??
Tony before you ask this "tit in a Tesla" has a white vehicle. So wasn't me.😅😅😊 I'm old school. Or just old.
😂😂 don't forget I'm a professional driver I watch a lot dash cam videos and so far I've not been on anyone's dash cam channel yet 😂
First clip. Yes, please indicate, but don't "over indicate" I was waiting to turn right onto a main road out of a side road and a car came from my right on the main road and indicated left. I was about to pull out when he drove past me and took the next left turn.
That is indicating too early.
there taking the piss
Overtaking is pulling out to pass on the right side of a vehicle, undertaking is pulling out to pass on the left. Staying in your lane (lane 1) at 70mph while passing vehicles in lane 2 doing 65mph on their left side is not undertaking. It is just passing. It is inherently more dangerous to have to cut across into lane 3 to pass on their right side.
was taught "undertaking" requires a manoeuvre, either moving to the left before you get past or moving over after (or changing speed in any significant way). simply holding your speed in traffic is not undertaking
though except at moderately low speed it can be unwise
Most drivers will glance at their right-hand side mirror when doing a manoeuvre, but rarely look into their left one. Therefore, this is why it is stated in the highway code that you should overtake to the right of vehicle ahead. If you go to overtake on the left side of the idiot in front, who has not gone to the left lane when he could have, then you run the risk of this idiot deciding to suddenly pull over to the left lane just as you are about to pass causing a fright or an accident!
@@grumpyoldpianistplus totally, as with everything its all "if safe to do so". I'd not go past that way without a half decent speed difference to get it over with and would go around if practical
As usual LDC is worried about what everyone else is doing try concentrating on your own driving
@@AlexanderCarter-gr5og
This is what LDC channel is about tho
What happen, you only did WISHKEY not not long ago. Now the motor is Fucked......
🖖
I don't agree with you making a point of a driver's company if displayed on their vehicle.. It seems you have an ulterior motive to have these people loose their job based on a bit of bad driving, which I don't think is fair at all. Remember, you don't know for sure if some of these people consistently drive like this, they could just be having a bad day or made a one off mistake.
Recovery Vehicles...We're EMERGENCY vehicles buddy, we do whatever the???? we want (I'm almost certain that's what they think !!) & you're in a tiny little car so get the F out of my way !!!
Not all Audi drivers are twats (can I say that!). Most are but not all.....
Yes you can say that 👍😂
Audis are particularly good when they're parked up😂
@@suziforester On double yellows no doubt.
You moan about people hovering to your right to stop you pulling out, then you moan about trucks forcing their way out for the same reason. If you had a 40ft trailer behind you in your first clip then you would understand the problem. Drive a truck first before you criticise. Its not right but its the only way to get anywhere when your whole day is being measured to the minute.
You cannot justify what that lorry driver did I don't care how big the vehicle is you don't push someone out of the lane or try to push someone out of the lane, and stuck in the traffic is a little bit different to hovering when you've got an empty road in front of you drive into.
Its not the only way to get anywhere tho is it.... wait to make your manoeuvre like any decent and reasonable driver.
Found the bully boy driver in the clip
@@SGPFK8TypeR
There is no excuse to put the lives of others in danger... if the peas and beans arrive late, so what
So by the sound of it, that's how you drive, if you consider that manouver to be ok you are either an inconsiderate idiot, or you have never actually driven a truck, I drove trucks and taxi's and you do not gain any time driving like a twat, cause a pile up and you get no delivery either.
