As an American I am not very familiar with British slang, words, and phrases. Today I am very interested in seeing a funny compilation of Brits swearing during close calls in traffic. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Frankie Boyle: "In Scotland the word f*cking is just an anouncement that a noun is on the way."
My Scottish cousins when they was little said every word under the sun, they was allowed. I went to visit and my uncle told me I was twice as old and could swear twice as much lol. My mum didn't tell me off there but that changed when I got back home lol.
Frankie did sell out in comedy one of the establishment
😂😂😂
It's also punctuation 😂
That is called a country lane 7:47
As a Brit, I am proud of the diverse language we use when dealing with idiots.
LOL
Here here! xD
Proud of our language and that nobody gets shot in these videos 😅
indeed although i am not a driver lol
same
We're Britsh. We're not angry, we're just disappointed...
We don’t have the energy for it 😂
I feel ya as a fellow brit my life is nothing but disappointing shit
I called a taxi driver a bloody knob head during my driving test. I drove around the corner and the examiner said "yes that taxi driver was a knob head" and laughed. I passed too lol. Xxx
They all are, as a rule. Convinced it's part of the licensing procedure.
@StinkingBishop Yes some of them think they are king of the road. I was overtaking a lorrie that was parked on the side of the road in the town centre. I checked and it was all clear, then taxi driver sped out a junction and drove on pedestrians pavement in the opposite direction. I wish the police had seen that. The examiner said I'd done everything I was supposed to do bit sadly other drivers are a risk. I just had to slow right down and let him pass me. He was supposed to stop at the junction and give way to oncoming traffic. It was memorable lol 30 yrs ago now 😆 🤣 xxxx
@JustJenX0XO sweet story 🇬🇧✊️😍
🤣🤣🤣 As a Brit I entirely approve!
wow so there are actually cool examiners after all😂
Tosser is another word for wanker.
Or as the Yanks say... Jerk Off !!! 😂
LOL yeah 👍👍🏾
But allowed in pre-watershed TV
I'm pleased the YT algorithm is allowing the word wanker. They should never be allowed to ban words that describe perfectly normal everyday activities! Even The Telegraph prints the word fart nowadays, so maybe we are making progress towards greater freedom of expression.
😂😂 indeed it is. i prefer wanker but dont use it to often cunt is my fav
As a UK citizen, I am so proud of my fellow swearing brits.... brings a tear to my eye.... and yes, bellend is quintessential hahaha
A brits greatest weapon is sarcasm and creative swearing 😂
Unfortunately ai dosnt understand sarcasm , im always getting miss information red flags
@@PeterPanoramics well that's a bit more added security for us brits then, an American AI BOT sounds more American than an American does, just better spoken.
@@Devonshirejackdaw you mean we use our gobs more creatively
Our second and Third Languages 😂😂
@@PaganPunk undoubtedly
Did no one say bellend? I feel that’s one of our favourites in the U.K.
AHH general "BELLUS ENDUS"....
I've spelled it many ways thinking I'm outsmarting yt...
But it turns out yt doesn't care about bell ends... Lol ..
I was highly disappointed that I didn't hear bellend 😂
Defo one of my favourites. Gets used daily!
Bellend is more of a fun jokey term,it's not really something you'd say when really angry.
@@MattyEngland I do! I think it’s the novelty that no one expects a middle aged woman to call them a f*cking bellend
At the 8:45 mark, that was a kid on the bicycle crossing the road. In my experience we tend to shout louder at kids in a situation like that, and there was also less actual swearing. It's aimed at scaring them as much as possible, so next time they have a little more caution in a dangerous situation. Might not be the same everywhere, but this has always been the case where I live
Agreed. As a parent of a teen I freak the fuck out when a teenager rushes into the road and I’m honestly mad on behalf of their ooor parents too.
I had a kid fly out onto the road in front of my car, luckily for him I was only doing like 10mph but he didn't look, just crossed in front of me. The string of expletives I threw at him, window open full bellow would have been enough to make me break down in tears when I was his age. But hey, hopefully I scared the shit out of him and he won't do it again
Also hun.. Its a motorway here, not a "highway"
Yeah, dialling it up for kids is a civic duty. Got to scare the ever loving shit out of those dumb little tykes. It takes a village, as they say.
I feel like the thing that sets brits apart when it comes to situations like this is that we just sound disappointed. Not angry or upset or hysterical, just resigned to other people's stupidity 😂
LOL exactly!
Its Jack Dee syndrome
2 Pakistanis pulled out in front of me on my way to Wembley once then gave me the finger cos i beeped , i pulled alongside & said give me the address of your dads Ford Consul so i can mail your head to him - he laughed like F*** :D . This was in the days when men were men & women didnt have a beard . context many Pakistanis & Indians were forced to live in cars when they came to the UK :/ we didnt have enough houses ( again )
Ohhh you hit the nail on the head! We do! 😂😂😂

Flamboyant swearing is an art form we Brits are proud to excel at!
Really? I think it sounds like a bunch of volatile emotionally stunted 15 yr olds behind wheel who haven’t learned to control the terrible twos tantrums
Not joking, but as a Brit I've had to teach so many other Brits how to swear....once they get going they tell me they REALLY enjoy it!
Flamboyant swearing is an art form i enjoy to the fullest extent! 😂
i love how other cultures and languages use british swear words as their own just dont cut it
On behalf of other brits, thank you for appreciating us
ROFL! :)
better than the usual american behaviour that's for damn sure. banter is one thing, what america does is NOT banter.
You know who does it better than us though..? The Aussies.. i REALLY admire the way they swear!
@oldboy-n4w no. We lost our edge. The Aussies haven't. Will we get it back? Will we be British again?
Agreed
I love using the insult, "muppet". It's so patronisingly satisfying. Repeat after me; "You silly muppet".
And the word proceeding it can determine whether I take it jokingly or slightly offensive like I'm more offended if I get called a bad Muppet that if I was called a top or proper Muppet
Brits are famously good at inventing brilliant swear words and insults - it’s a gift 🇬🇧
Really is. His mind will be blown when he realises tossa is another word for wanka.
Indeed, Brits invented the English language themselves
@@TheSpy605
And Americans STILL can't speak English 😂
I like 'wanky tit basket' 😂
I absolutely love that bike/moped rider at 11:10. THAT'S a British response. Just laughing when terribly hurt, thinking "Well this is fucking annoying, innit?"
If you don't laugh, you'd cry.
I think he went through the windscreen backwards, I think you can hear it I'm not sure, but if he did he was probably laughing about the interior of the car and everyone in it covered in glass and his arse in there face just after the glass... I don't know
Ever since I was a teen, and included the word init, at the end of sentences to get confirmation my dad... still to this day has to imitate it but does it in jamaican accent and says "Inittt mmmmannnnnn!"
Just thought I'd share that here haha ❤
Tis a mere scratch.
Though I do like the funny ideas for why he was laughing, I can pretty much guarantee he was laughing because of the relief of still being alive lol.
UK motorcyclist for +10years, I enjoyed this!
.
Venting frustration is actually quite satisfying & often funny. I found myself stringing a sentence together and ended up laughing in my helmet adding more to the sentence - then walk casually into work and start the day lol
.
Much appreciate your video :)
Try reading some Shakespearian insults, and then string them together... Do it on two conditions: You are safe (aka parked!), and that your bladder is empty!
Swearing for Brits in these circumstances is mainly about tension release
It is for everyone, not just Brits. Taboo words have been found to reduce pain too, which is why they come flying out when you stub your toe
@@folkloreofbeing i swear like a sailor when I'm on fair rides and rollercoasters 😂😂 makes me feel better and more grounded
It's great to have a good swear. My wife's language is akin to a glaswegian dockworker with tourettes.
sounds like my boss, he had an IT issue yesterday the result was bloody impressive!
that made me ucking laugh,he he
I'm the same. 😂
You married down too eh. 🤣
As someone with Tourettes I approve of this masterful description 😂
Americans use guns to let off steam.
We use "Language"! No one died from being called a wanker.
I think a few may have obtained the Darwin award after thinking it was an instruction though....
he found the peaks of British society, swearing at someone who didn't say "thank u"
If u don't shout your welcome after ur not british 😂
i actually get so annoyed at this, i like letting people out cos i know how it feels to not be let out/into a lane. but if they don't thank me that person becomes the biggest dickhead on the planet for the whole time their car is still visible to me
@@whatfloatsyourboat2333 if you don't learn to use spelling, punctuation and a keyboard correctly... maybe you're not British either 😂 "If you don't shout 'you're welcome' after, you're not British 😂" - you're welcome
@sophiejohere not one other person used punctuation except you, so stay on your high horse judging me and keep it moving
@@whatfloatsyourboat2333 I think we should all strive to not write like children. I commend you for reply, it is much better! I think we should all try to write properly otherwise in 200 years nobody will be able to read what was written today if we all end up writing with numbers and letters instead of words. I shouldn't have mocked you, that was wrong but I am really grateful you made the effort with your response! Have a great day now
My driving instructor(I am from UK) said the best thing while driving is to assume everyone else on the road is an insane idiot willing to do crazy stuff without warning. And drive accordingly.
Mine said be careful driving on council estates, as chavs let their children play football in the street as a form of contraception 😂😂
My driving instructor didn't know how to react when I got into a road rage at the idiots around us.
I'm a taxi driver in a part of the EU, and one of my first conclusions is that *everyone* on the road is an idiot, so I have to make sure to drive so the other idiot f*cks don't get a chance to get themselves entangled in my own stunts.
Yup. Look out for the other idiot.
Mine told me I had to be able drive well enough to compensate for everyone else’s bad day. It’s not about me.
Driving instructors always say in the UK "drive like everyone else is trying to kill you". I think thats where it stems. We're taught you WILL encounter idiots but just keep yourself safe. Hence all the yielding to people being nob heads and then calling them out for it.
Brit here. We are trained to swear from birth, and are sent to nursery, funded by the government, at two years old to give us an early start before school. At school, they really double down the efforts to enhance the child’s curse vocabulary until they leave at 16 ready to face the world. You can’t pass your driving test until you prove you know more than 50 curse words and use them appropriately. Now you know
😂
You realise there are Americans who will believe every word you just typed??
The only class I got extra credit for 😂😂
@@loonaticsrunningtheassylum not to get too political, but we've recently seen how gullible around 49% of the American population are
@@loonaticsrunningtheassylumyeh because it's true 🤣
remember we don't have guns so expressive words have to do the job
As a Sussexer I have to say I love your username 😊
7:45 I dont think anyone else has said in the comments, but basically that's a single track road. Its two way, but there's not enough space for two cars to pass at the same time. The road has blind corners everywhere so you can't see that far ahead and what looks like has happened was the car oncoming was just driving way too fast for the situation (blind road, or dirt road so braking takes longer). He didn't assess that road correctly and thats what caused him to go up on the bank of the road to avoid a head on collision. Annoyingly in the UK we have alot of these roads and they're still 60mph which is ridiculous because people dont think about the dangers around the corner.
That's not a dirt road
"Shitting Peugeot!" is a classic.
@@chrisperyagh LOL yeah 👍🏾👍
It's always Peugeots or fucken golf drivers or vauxhall Corsa drivers
@@DJ-Dashy And then there's the dithering and dawdling Nissan Micra drivers who are out there just to thwart any progress.
@@DJ-Dashy”audi wankers” in my area😂
‘Fucking Audi’ comes to mind 😂
It's because we're usually depressed or pissed off every day. So it's like we are half expecting something else shit to happen as soon as we leave the house.
Absolute truth.
Honestly i get you the amount of stabbings that happen around my area or in its proximity is pretty scary we got all the druggies and shit like that
That couldn't be anymore true 😂

Cracked me up!
Na, it’s just men haven’t matured much past 15 year olds and lack the ability to prevent a temper tantrum like a two year old! It’s quite embarrassing actually that men are so immature that they can’t even drive to work without having an outburst tthat could rival any toddler
Can't keep a plucky brit down, though 👊
Plum = literally a plum. See also Lemon, melon, sausage, donut etc...
Donkey also comes to mind
Donut is a bit different, implying there's nothing in the middle (unless it's a jam donut)
Turnip
@@NicholasGreen-b6e Pilchard.
Plum is also slang for testicle.
You ever hear the saying, "you can laugh or you can cry". We laugh.
And swear!!
My partner will cuss the driver out then drive after that driver and well you can guess the rest😆🤣🙈
You have to realise that the “narrow roads” are probably centuries old and go back to horse and cart days, they’re generally found in more rural farming areas rather than urban city type locations
And for some reason they are national speed limit
They usually can't be widened because there's an old stone wall or hedge row on either side.
@@Jams848484 They can be widened but rich NIMBYs like jermy clackson and his rich mates who hate the country (uk) and don't farm and don't pay any tax fight the planning to keep the roads dangerous and in the 11th centuary.
@@Jams848484and a bloody fuckton of simmering half genocidal hereditary land boundary disputes going back to Anglosaxon days that would explode and make "the troubles" look like a summer picknick if the wrong rock in that wall was moved as much as a fraction of an inch in *any* direction.....😬
Roads in really rural areas are single lane, with wider parts to allow cars to pass each other. These are usually sufficient, since the amount of traffic is low.
I'm female (old now) of British descent and only swear when I'm angry or in shock (doesn't go down well with some people coming from an old duck!). But I remember once in my 20s letting rip with the F word and then apologising to my foreign boyfriend. Instead of being shocked he asked me to repeat it as "it sounded so elegant the way you said it"!
I love Brits honestly you guys are the real deal fucking love British humour for one
Thanks knob cheese😂,it’s always great to hear we are loved for our humour 😂😂😂😂😂😂 much respect no harm intended with the word.as it’s one I always use when driving
Cheers mate

As a Brit, this entire video would almost have been boring had it not been for your enjoyment and appreciation of our accents and tone. To me it's just the only natural response 🤷🏼♀️
Glad to see you so amused ❤
Most of the time we aren't that angry, just disappointed at each others stupidity endangering everyone.
Swearing is healthy venting, then we move on.
I never realised I needed an American to laugh at our road rage to appreciate it more 😂😂
yep when brits are angry we make up words as well
Ooh yeah it just comes out😂😂
My son is brilliant at making up swear words.
Wankpellet or Cuntsmouth are words that I've regularly used over here in the past 42 years of riding
That's how the dictionary is made 😂
All words are made-up (as David Mitchell once pointed-out). Cheers :)
Yes, we British are very good at poetic swearing.
It was described by Bill Burr the American comedian that the Scots swearing is an art form...same can be said for the rest of the UK but the Scots are just better at it because they have many more words to insult people with. Take the word penis...in England they have have half a dozen words for it but in Scotland there are like 15 words for it.
The best really
@@richmattisson3011 The Aussies can give us a run for our money.
Well the Ozzies are much like us. Same sense of humour 😂
But we still get arrested for our beautiful swear words...😅
Me: Hoping I'll hear a 'Smeghead' but that's just the Red Dwarf fan in me. :)
I was once in a car with someone who called someone a “TUNT” 😂 he was that mad, he combined insults 😂
not a twunt?
TWUNT is the word.😃
Bro was that mad he hit the fusion card 😂
TWUNT
Twunt not tunt.
7:40 Yes, that is a two way road. A lot of small rural roads in Britain are only wide enough for a single vehicle, usually with passing places along them.
Standard Kent/Sussex/Surrey country road.
@@MiniBlueDragonSomerset, Devon, Dorset and Cornwall as well!
And bucks, herts and beds…. And etc
Yes, sometimes you have to reverse up to a passing spot you noticed along the way because the other driver can't drive! Doesn't know how to reverse... don't know where they got their license! 🤣🤣🤣
Very common road type in the midlands
As a brit, when watching these I found it funny to notice that the more 'anger' we have in our voice, the tamer the language used (such as no f bombs, using 'prat'/'idiot' instead of the other curse words). Part of me wonders if anger is one of the keys that unlocks artistic abilities! (Note: I can comment and find it funny AFTER the fact, and whilst watching a compelation. However, if it was me in the vehicle I'd be either worrying about my heart rate/ability to breathe due to panic, or trying to not mess my underwear from panic!).
Here in the UK you may be wondering what's with the narrow roads. Technically there is only room for 1 car and these roads are built to drive across mountains or farmland. They're so small because they were developed after the farmlands I believe and weren't meant to take up much space so farms don't lose much land. When you come in contact with someone driving toward you, one of you is meant to find a spot to give way to the other person. But quite often you get the odd Bellend who speeds round all the twists and turns forgetting these roads are dangerous.
I think it's more that those roads were designed for horses as cars weren't around when they were created, and we just use the same roads now for cars
How can a road be dangerous. roads can't drive there selves. it's the bloody drivers. not the roads
In Ireland there's often a ditch at the side which makes things interesting 😉
@@cheman579 Yep they are mostly old cart/foot paths between old villages.
These are still very common on the countryside all over Europe. In some places there are usually a fairly even distribution of passing points where it's either wider or a rest spot on the side. So if you come into the type of blind spot like in the video (or simply didn't look far enough ahead anyway) you would just have to go reverse to the last such point instead of a crossing or such.
This surprise would probably be far worse than roundabouts for some tourists.😸
As an English woman, most of the accents you're hearing are from London/South East England. There are times when only the timely use of a good expletive will do when encountering idiots on the road. It's all in the delivery! Us Brits are masters of the craft! No one does sarcasm quite like we do. We excel at it.
You are just vocal about it because you really seem like what an American is for the US right now.
I'm irish... i moved to the UK and they couldnt handle how much we actually swear 😂😂 they barely swore at all by comparison 😂 love to my Norfolkian friends x👍🇮🇪
😅
I live in Devon, we have a lot of single track roads. Some will have hedges (often on banks so a good 10-15ft high) which will scrape the side of your car as you drive down. There’s passing places every so often where you pass cars coming the other way. There’s passing places person who has recently passed one reverses back to it (sometimes a very considerable distance). The speed limit on these roads defaults to 60 mph but only an absolute knobhead would drive at that as they are usually very twisty.
It’s fine out of tourist season but in the summer there’s always some tourist who can’t reverse and just sits frozen (often towing a caravan following their satnav).
We don’t plan on getting anywhere fast down here
You know you're from Devon when you've reversed three miles down a country lane because it's easier than waiting for the grockle to go back ten meters.
I met a grockle on a lane and pulled in to my side opposite a passing place on his side. He didn't into it and said that he didn't want to scratch his car on the hedge. I put a book on the steering wheel and started reading. Eventually he got the message
@@bluehatfencingcoachactual facts!
Cornwall here..same deal
My mate lives in a maze somewhere in the Crediton area. It's like driving in a vortex. I've never arrived at the house by the same route after 25 years of visiting. I even missed her wedding. I circled Exeter somehow for 3 hours. Kept following signs for Stockleigh English. Turned out to be the same sign several times over.
Brits have amazing creativity when swearing at people who are being a twat but "Fuck my arse!" "Shitting hell!" has to be the best exchange of any of these clips 🤣
Shitting hell is my 103yr old nanas favourite. She says it daily 😂
In really serious driving situations my personal default is,
"Jesu H Fucking Christ on a bicycle!"
Watching the first clip notice the double lines in the center and a little further there is a solid line and a broken line together in the centre... The double line means no crossing the line from either lane, the single line mean no crossing for vehicles on that side of the road, but the broken line mean you are allowed to cross into the other lane if it is safe to do. So the white van overtaking the red lorry is making an illegal move by crossing the single line. They do not mark the roads like this for fun, they are only marked like this where there is a hazard or a danger to overtake.
I think we swear with resignation more than fury.
As a brit there isn’t a single car ride where my mom doesn’t go “oh you dickhead” or “You prick”😂😂
It’s funny cos it’s true.
My mom goes with “fuckwad” or “cunt-features”
Or as my dad likes to say “fucking twat”
The Brits have a way with words because it's their language.
Those narrow roads? Quite common in the U.K. You drive, as though there may be something coming the opposite way, NOT, as though there is nothing coming the other way.
The mind boggles as to the kind of idiots who are licensed to get behind the wheels of a car! You have to wonder what (if anything) is going on inside their minute, moronic brains.
While it is technically legal to drive at 60mph on most of these smaller B roads only a complete moron would. As you can see visibility is often extremely limited and they are often covered in mud and leaves as they are used extensively by farmers moving heavy equipment and livestock between fields. In addition the condition of the road surface is very inconsistent with sections filled with deep potholes often in the middle of perfectly smooth areas. The oncoming car was clearly some young idiot with more balls than brain cells. These single track roads have wider passing places every so often depending on how far you can see and in a tight section like that most people would be doing 30 or less.
Yea, the legal limit is 60 mph ‘if safe to do so’. But not enough people have common sense to judge it for themselves 😂 I drive along those single track country roads every day and it’s madness.
Don't forget those fecking deer 🤣
@@hamoostaffat or the random single escaped sheep. But it's the pheasants that annoy me they're honestly suicidal. Half the time they seem to aim for your windscreen despite the fact they can clearly see you coming and easily fly just a foot higher.
What's even more fun about those single lane narrow roads is that most of them are 60mph 😵
and the locals know how to cope - you can always tell a "stranger" !!
@@SillyMoustache Yeah it's normally the locals going way too fast because they 'know' the road.
@@T-1001 Guilty, save I keep to the speed limit :)
I hate those roads, rarely do I go above 40 unless it's straight
That particular incident, the other car was deffo going too fast. Just cos the country road is 60mph limit doesn't mean you should do it. I wish the camera had been in a tractor!
I think it sounds like it does partly because of british stiff upper lip. These words are spoken with gravitas, deep voices. This is one aid to managing the flow of adrenaline so as not to react physically or experience the physical symptoms of shock, fear, anger etc. Its a way to react calmly. All the feeling is put into the words and the saying of them. Its also an attitude to life. Expect the occasional c**t on the road!
17:05 “what a fucking plug.”
That’s an example of one of my favourite things about being British. Take any non-swear word and add it to, “you …” or, “you fucking …” and you have an insult.
a plug is only useful for one thing and thats IF its useful in that moment

"Not even rolling down their windows to say it to the other drivers" - Of course not, we don't want to make a fuss. That wouldn't be polite.
Exactly 😂
"Wanker" sounds so awkward in an American accent.
That single lane road is a country road good sir, 60mph speed limit ...
Them country lanes are crazy! 😂
Limit, but not as goal.
😂😂😂😂😂
The guy down the lane not only drove past him half way up the hedgerow but because we drive on the left the idiot drove past him on the right, so the wrong side of the road😂. Maybe he was American because lanes in our countryside are the original Roman roads and only wide enough for a horse and cart back in the day. There are cut outs every so often to pull into to let an oncoming car pull over so they can drive past.
I don't go 60 on a country lane. I go 30.
You don't know what the fuck is around the corners that are covered by hedges. I know tosspots that'll drive 80 around them.
I know what you mean, I love it about the British. I'm a shouty European, so hearing these calm, collected, matter-off-fact "niceties" is really funny. I live in Britain, but when my family visit and they see a small accident, they get mentally prepared for the "show", people jumping out of the cars, yelling, shaking fists. The real show for them is that none of it happens.
Shouty European hmmm, Italian?
The line in Britain between actual expletives and "swearing lite" words like "wazzock", "pillock", "muppet", "moron", "donkey", "reprobate", "weapon" "nob" "twit" and the like is thin...more important is the tone. Also optional to swap "fucking" for "absolute".
It's important to have levels, just to keep that extra spiciness for the deserving cases
I love 'Weapon!' 'Total Weapon' is an upgrade on a person creating quite potentially serious issues or dramas. 😂
We're experts at abusing each other verbally it's a art form.
To us swearing and sarcasm are art..............
Fuckin right!
centuries of perfecting the art!
The most iconic British road rage video has to be Ronny Pickering 😂 iykyk
As a Scotsman I can call you anyword, tool, plinth, balloon, apple, absolutely anyword in the English language and you will know that its meant as an insult. "Tit" not "Tick" means breast.
Any noun at all, when following either "You complete..." is a swear-word: "You complete trombone", "you complele hammock"... But "X was absolutely..." followed by noun an an -ed ending means drunk: "I was absolutely tromboned", "You were absolutely hammocked".

A favourite Scots insult of mine is 'cuntybaws' 😂
Translation = 'cuntyballs' ....an insult to both men and women countrywide 🤗😂😂
@@CiaraNíShúilleabháin1990as an American I find the c word trashy and in poor taste.
@@larchman4327fair enough but as a brit i can tell you it is such a satisfying word to say, especially when you hit the 'T' properly. Plus moments in life do exist that this word sums up perfectly
@@larchman4327 see the scots use the c word
This is such a good idea for a video. It’s so interesting getting an American’s reaction to our bad drivers.
We don't fuck about over here in blighty 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏻
The very narrow road, is what we Brits call a lane, and sometimes they are even narrower with grass often growing in the middle, which is then called a green lane. These green lanes are often found in the countryside, and there are groups of people who use them in 4X4s, and call it green laning. The lanes usually have what are called passing places, and if a driver comes across a vehicle coming the other way like that (usually going a lot slower) then it is down to the driver who is closest to a passing space to reverse and pull into it to allow the other vehicle to pass safely.
err I use them because I live on one! :)
Another thing to add is that the bigger vehicle has more right to stay where they are, I wouldn't expect a full on tractor or large van to backup when I'm driving a moped or little hatchback
@amarok9749 Yes, that's a sensible point. 👍🏻
Those lanes with grass growing in the middle are just normal lanes in Devon.
@@susanwestern6434 Same here in north wales lol
As a British person, I love watching your reviews of this..... The roads in the UK are 1 or 2 lanes!! We have a lot of morons here, the guy getting hit by the car resounded well with me!
I got hit by a car in Australia and when the police turned up and caught me laughing and joking with the guy that just ploughed me, they thought I was under the influence and cuffed me!
The Aussie just didn't get why I was laughing and why I didn't want to press charges.....it was genuinely funny, I was on the pavement and a dude accidently clipped me, initially I was annoyed and the dude got out his car and then told me one of the most hilarious stories about his naughty daughter that he was going to collect from school because she had been expelled and i couldn't stop laughing knowing the absolute sh1t storm he was going to deal with i just couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂😂
That guy can hit me again! Best laugh I had in a long time!
Yaaay! The OG Shitting Peugeot!!!
Classic.
That bloke ought to get royalties for that as it's being used in loads of dashcam videos on here whenever there's a Peugeot involved.
@chrisperyagh I use it every day. In the same accent. And I don't even drive!
There are 5 things you should never make a driver do: Swerve, Slow sharply, Stop, Swear, or 5h1t themself.
Especially if you combine them all
Funniest thing about this video is an American confused by country lanes (around 8:10). Yes, those lanes are meant for 2 cars and in almost every case have a limit of 60mph!
1:32 - Because of Top Gear, everyone who drives a Peugeot is automatically a target for swearing.
Can confirm 😂😅
Or a BMW w**ker 😂
Yep and bmw drivers
@@pemj7360 - Those didn't need Top Gear, they gained their bad rep all by themselves. 😄
@module79l28 thus is true lol 😆 😂
12:02 the guy laughing after a bike crash makes sense now I’ve seen that video clip was from North Yorkshire - they really are built different up there! I’m in West Yorkshire and drivers are totally nuts up here. Your comment about people just accepting it and then venting their frustrations is pretty accurate. Crappy driving is so common that we’re just like “well that was bound to happen this week” 🤣
the taxi drivers up here are the worst 😂
West Yorkshire here ✋
West Yorkshire too. I think this fells gave that laugh as if you look he's on the car's bonnet, and is thankful he is alive. I have seen some people I grew up with pass away up here for this before. People not interested in bikes, just don't see them, regardless what they wear or how bright their lights are on.
Even if the driver was indicating, it wasn't his right of way, he was completely in the wrong as he was crossing the bikers lane. Glad he seemed to be okay.
8:00 not only is this road meant for 2 cars, the speed limit there will be 60mph 😂
6:55 Spot on. We’re Brits. We react with exasperated resignation.
As someone who rides a motorbike you have to be 4x more aware because people just don’t “see you”
When you described their tone as "disappointed' you were spot on. We all know there are idiots on the roads. When we encounter them it's often a reaction of resigned disappointment.
We invented the Language we can abuse it. 😉
best one is "where'd you get your licence? from a lucky dip bag!!!" Classic.
"Where do get your effing licence from, a Jamboree bag?... is my favourite saying, a mixed bag of sweets/candy & cheap plastic toys for kids, from the local sweet shop/newsagents!! in the 60's & 70's
@@jhmasterson3087showing your age with that one 😉
I love 'knob jockey' and 'gipping' for British slang. Excellent, lol!
Wee little roads are country lanes. There's always somewhere you can reverse to & pull in to let the other driver pass. Not many people drive at that speed down a country lane, thank God! Only nobheads do that. You'll also often find yourself stuck behind a tractor 🚜😊
The guy laughing after the bike crash - to be fair, some people laugh when they're in shock, almost like a coping mechanism. I did the same when I badly sprained my ankle a few years ago (it was bad enough that we thought I might have broken it; went and got x-rays, but thankfully it wasn't broken). My dad saw me fall when it happened and came out to help me, and I was shivering a bit and I was chuckling even though I was in a lot of pain.
I fell off scaffolding and I was just on the ground laughing. I got checked for brain damage haha
@ 7.50 that is a winding country road, fairly common here in the UK. Love your videos
One of my favourites is knob jockey.
and Cock Womble
Mine is cock womble
I use Cock Socket all the time
and cockwomble.
I'd use that more in friendly banter tbh.
Im a bit disappointed the words cockwomble and felcher weren't used
Arsebadger!
Cockwomble, my favourite insult. It really confuses people
Or perhaps knobgoblin or knobwit
One of my favourites is R.Hammond on his bike swearing at a driver 😂
As a biker of 30 years in the UK, I can confirm that it is very dangerous riding a bike, and situation like the above, will happen practically every time you go out, you just have to learn to ride defensively and expect people to pull out on you, not see you, etc.... you develop a 6th sense after a few years.
My brother lost a leg. Got a good payout though because he was not at fault
Part of the issue is bikers riding at high speed and weaving around traffic. As soon as it gets to spring the fair weather riders get the bikes out the garage and start killing themselves in single vehicle accidents by riding on country roads at very high speeds. Up until this year I lived on a dual carriageway and as spring came the screams of motorbikes flying past the house alwould start, 40mph road and they would pass in a blurvthat made our house kind of reverb! They can't speed and wonder why motorists don't have time to see them.
@@bigwideworld387 I agree with you fully, and us bikers who are more considerate, refer to those types as 'squids'
@@Drobium77
My dad calls them organ donors...
Here's something to pass on to any of your friends and family with youngsters.
Whenever they're in the car get the kid to look our for motorcycles, with a small prize/treat for, say, spotting 5 or more.
What's the point?
The point is that by the time they're old enough to drive they're habituated to LOOKING FOR bikers! 🙂 🏍
Bloody love swearing! It really helps with stress!
Apparently people who fkn swear handle fkn pain better too! 😅
The East London Road rages are the funniest in my opinion, the combination of words with their accent is something else 😂👌🏻
'Stay calm and carry on' It has already occurred, but maybe just as well we do not (usually) have an Uzi on the spare seat....
Yep, the Americans would have an Uzi 9mm in the glovebox as a norm.
They wouldn't leave home without it.
In the UK, you can LEGALLY own a UZI if you get a gun license ✊🏻
@@natebentham Sure but I don't think it's legal to keep it in your car unless your job is hunting game or something similar .
Being English, this has really cheered me up and made me laugh. It's just right. The small road are tracks usually found in the countryside connecting villages. They have pull in places to allow for passing. A 'Tosser' is another word for a 'Wanker' HAHAHAHAHAHAH
We get cross and express our anger through a range of wonderfully eloquently executed expletives, we don't wave guns at people that would be rude. 😂😂😂
If you here ell instead of hell he'll probably be a londoner. A tosser is the same as a Wanker .I'm born and bred a londoner and proud of it.
