I think it is, the delivery is wooden and emotionless, and there's glitching around the mouth. Really creepy and I'm glad I'm not the only one switched on. What a depressing world. You can give out the info without a fake person.
Bugger that, I'm selling my car and going by train. I do have a question though, do these speed limits apply to Audi drivers because i gotta tell ya......you know.
I drive trucks for a living, and a few years back I took a general Highway Code test, so much that doesn’t apply to me either as a cyclist, car & truck driver I wasn’t aware of had me fail 5 times. They Do apply indirectly but ho hum. Keep reading the highway code folks, the rules change over time. Finally, always be courteous to other road users. It’s easier to give priority & avoid damage+hours of paperwork, than get that damage+hours of paperwork.
I have been driving on the road for the last 55years and over that time both the Highway Code and general practices have changed, not necessarily for the better IMO. Apart from the odd driver awareness ad on the TV there has been NO driver information put out by DVLA. It would be oh so simple to issue a pamphlet with rule changes with every Road Fund License reminder or MOT or Driving Licence renewal. I would say that almost nobody looks at the HC apart from for their test and certainly H1 that came into force 30months ago is not widely known or adopted as practice yet failure to observe it could result ultimately in death of a pedestrian. If you don't know what H1 is then you must be one of the ignorant masses - QED. Knowing and religiously observing the HC is no substitute for road craft and I have driven with a number of police class 1 drivers, who certainly don't always do things by the book but in those circumstances what they do is very safe/safer I strongly advocate continued driver competency testing say, after the first 5 years, then every 10 years and at 70 years old with testing at every 5 years after that. This would encourage refresher driving courses and HC revision. Such testing should be closer to IAM or RoSPA standards.
@@clivewilliams3661, H1 I’m guessing is the hierarchy. Re Police drivers going outside the HC, “Basic” drivers should never do that, “Standard” drivers as well as “Advanced” drivers frequently do:- the Standard course is, I believe, intense & 3 weeks long, the Advanced (only open to experienced Standard drivers) between 4 & 6 weeks long force depending. If you’ve not been trained to that level, never go outside the highway code. Yes, improve your road craft, (my late fiancée loved her skid practice in an empty snowy car park), but do so within the HC. Poor habits are easily formed. Get regular assessments if you can, to keep good habits going & bad habits at bay. My work as a lorry driver has this, within our firm we have Advanced Driver Coaches & ours gives us annual peer to peer reviews, wherein advice is given to improve our driving standards. We consistently top the company KPI list, occasionally being bested by one or two units with far fewer drivers (a unit with 3 has a far better chance of a perfect week, than ours of 85ish).
@@paulcollyer801 I used to ride out with a motorcycle club that regularly included two police motorcycle cops(and wives). Our format of riding meant that each rider took it in turns to lead the pack and I always made sure that I followed one of the two coppers, who clearly had a relaxed view of speed limits on the open road. Following their lines through bends and observing their road positioning, acceleration and braking made for a safer, quicker yet more relaxed ride. A friend of mine is an IAM instructor who also trains police/emergency vehicle drivers in his spare time and invariably, when we are in the car together the conversation always revolves back to discussing road craft, which both of us find useful, I also get free tuition when driving! Driving on a snowy carpark is not about road craft it is car control. Road craft is having total awareness of what is going on around you on the road/pavements, assessing situations and having a plan to react if necessary. Most people let situations arrive before they work out how to deal with them, which makes their decision making rushed and questionable. Car control is important and since we have very little snow these days the best surface to practice on is wet grass, which can be more readily available than a snowy car park with other users about. For ultimate car control watch BTRDA Auto testing/Auto solo on line or in person. Your employer is obviously switched on and even just discussing driving is a big step forward that most people don't have the benefit of.
Cant understand why UK doesnt just post the basic speedlimit as it begins to apply. Using the meaningless black diagonal is confusing and explains nothing. Also there is a major lack of repeat signs reminding drivers of the limits. If roads have various limits depending on the class of vehicle why not post signs showing them e.g. at the entrance to motorways. And if residents are confused imagine how tourists feel?
The National Speed Limit (see “Giant Screw Ahead” sign lol) is different for different vehicles. When I started driving big trucks *hrumph* years ago, the national speed limit on a single carriageway road was more complicated than now; cars, motorbikes, car derived vans & small motorhomes, 60, larger vans, baby trucks (up to 7.5 Tonne, aka puddle jumpers) minibuses, coaches/busses 50, larger trucks 40. A large number of routes I used to travel are now 50, as opposed to National Speed limit, which Does simplify the rule as larger trucks are now 50 on single carriageways, but the paperwork involved in doing that change is massive, for not much benefit, cos “German Elite Car Drivers” are exempt, right??? Lol
Why does this feel like AI
I was thinking exactly the same as I was multitasking while listening lol

The creepy thing about this is, I think this is ai generated.
This is getting weird.
@@ScottishAtheist it is, have a look at their other content.. weird stuff
Guy who got caught over the speed limit, gives advice about speed limits.

I own 3 Audis, this gives me the privilege to notice all other drivers driving all other sorts of brands doing all sorts of things 😏👌
Coaches can go 70 on motorway.

What's a dual carriageway?
It's a dual way for carriages.
