I love the fact you only ever show your frustration by commenting to yourself instead of driving aggressively or dangerously unlike so many other people with dash cams 😌
6:53, to be fair, if you couldn't see the Merc, then it stands to reason, that the driver couldn't see you. It did not appear to be a deliberate act to impede your travel or a poor decision, the driver didn't tear round the corner or race up to you and block your path, it simply happens on those housing estates where every house seems to have 3 or more cars and no room to park. There is a clue to the problem on that particular road where the last house on the left appears to have 2 'borrowed' road cones ready to be put out to save himself a space when he goes out.
The thing is there was no edging out, which is what you're supposed to do if you can't see, what would have happened if I was going a lot faster and a lot closer to that turning ? Bearing in mind I was going nowhere near the speed limit and my car is electric so you can't really hear it coming.
@@thelondondashcam how much slower did you want it to pull out? They pulled out slowly, manuouvered to allow you both to pass safely. It looks like they are use to doing this. You're just annoyed because it slowed you down. The vehicles at fault here are the Renault - parked opposite a junction and the van and possibly the vehicle in front of that for parking too close to a junction. I thought the observation part of the driving test was to prepare drivers for these circumstances. I assume you got your licence before it was introduced. If you had been driving faster in these circumstances with a dashcam then your own evidence would put you at fault for driving without due care. It amazes me how people put these videos up and I personally have a dash cam and very rarely find myself in situations that I would consider worth showing to anyone else. Most dashcam videos show the owner of the camera at fault or deliberately making an issue out of nothing. Having just watched a couple of your other videos I'm not the only one to think so.
@@robp1316 You say, If I was going faster and closer to the turning she pulled out of and we did hit I would be at fault for driving without due care, So pulling out of a turning into oncoming traffic is driving with due care is it ? as long as I wasn't speeding I'm sure it would be the other way round as she's pulling out on me. And I've noticed that everyone that is critical of those videos have been on RUclips for years without posting any content funny that.
I like the one who does the running commentary on other peoples driving. They've either done fuck all wrong or he does the same ie, on the dual carriageway a driver moved to the right lane and he says "and you've done that to overtake who??", then does the exact same!!! 😂 😂

You need to chill a bit. When someone does something to actually impede your progress or cause a danger to you my guess is you’ll blow the roof off your car.
Again, cips whereby the camcar divers have done little to be patient, understanding and cooperative with other road users doing their best to get throught the day on our busy roads. Just hold back and work together.
Unless you drive defensively to accommodate the idiots you are called impatient, how about we do work together and get the idiots off the road ? shouldn’t have to drive defensively because of idiots.
Driving over the centre of a mini roundabout is perfectly acceptable according to the Highway Code. It's just a painted circle in the middle of a junction to say that you give way from the right like a roundabout and it's perfectly acceptable to drive over it.
Highway code rule 188 Mini-roundabouts. Approach these in the same way as normal roundabouts. All vehicles MUST pass round the central markings except large vehicles which are physically incapable of doing so. Remember, there is less space to manoeuvre and less time to signal. Avoid making U-turns at mini-roundabouts.
Not cool to have a go at learner drivers. The problem was you not them. You rushed to close down the space so you could have a moan. Apart from that I enjoy your moans.
I shouldn't have to adjust my speed for someone pulling out of a turning, and the instructor should have stopped them and pointed that out to them, not the learners fault or mine but the instructors fault.
@@thelondondashcam ^^ this, as an advanced licence holder it's this - the INSTRUCTOR was at fault for allowing the driver to pull out, even if he didn't have dual controls the instructor should have said STOP and then explained why.
@@thelondondashcam so you were absolutely perfect when you were taking driving lessons? You deliberately closed the gap down just for something to moan at.
@@robp1316 No I just didn't slow down, so if I've closed the gap on someone by not slowing down what does that mean ?

But there is something wrong with doing a turn in the road from the wrong side of the road as a start off position. Any manoeuvre you do on the road shouldn’t affect anyone else, did they not teach you that before your driving test ?
@@thelondondashcam Anyone's movement on the road dictates our own movement in response all the time, but there was nothing dangerous in that clip; the road was clear. As for facing with the flow of traffic when parked up is not always an option when the road is busy. I always need to drive forward into my drive because the main road is always busy with a long flow of traffic behind and in front, which then means I have no choice but to reverse out onto the main road later on.
@@thelondondashcam At 9:24 I did not see any congestion on the road, just one driver letting another driver out and an impatient driver (you) complaining about it!
I'm going to add another reply to the one I made below to Gary Boyle as RobP and others keep hating on TLDC without actually knowing the highway code it seems - the fact is there's several factors going on: 1 - The instructor should have told the LEARNER driver to wait for a gap where they were comfortable pulling into WITHOUT expecting the traffic to slow down to accomodate; EXPLANATION WHY: while most people DO give learners some leeway because we were all learners once, the fact is from a SAFETY standpoint, you CANNOT GUARENTEE, and SHOULD NEVER assume the oncoming traffic will slow for you, even more so now with too many peoples attentions diverted to phones etc. The realty is EVERY SINGLE DRIVER ON THE ROAD WHEN LEAVING A JUNCTION MUST ASSUME THE NEXT DRIVER AFTER THE GAP IS NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND WILL NOT SLOW DOWN, thus if the gap is too small and you pull out and the driver actually isn't paying attention, then YOU have just caused an RTA, for an "unsafe" manouvre. Doesn't matter how long you wait, it HAS TO BE SAFE. 2 - The instructor also cannot tell the learner to pull out into a "smaller" space then accelerate hard to match speed in the same way a more experienced driver might, again unsafe and also for a learner more likey to cause a clutch stall of the engine with another vehicle closing - who also, to reiterate, cannot be GUARENTEED to be paying attention to the road ahead. There is a simple rule of highway code regarding pulling into constant flowing traffic - general rule #170 look all around before emerging. Do not cross or join a road until there is a gap large enough for you to do so SAFELY. feel free to verify this for yourselves If the gap requires the existing traffic to slow down, it's not safe. Period. A person should at ALL TIMES assume the person driving the vehicles around them doesn't know you are there, hasn't seen you, and is about to do a manouvre that will result in an RTA, because your vehicle is in the space they want to go to. If it doesn't happen, great, but I think many drivers have experienced another driver doing something very stupid and only avoided an RTA because they were paying attention - and sometimes even then, not avoided an RTA. A person should always drive in a manner whereby EXPECTING them to hit you, and thus drive in a way whereby that other driver HAS NO OPPORTUNITY to hit you, because you are not in that space; you waited, you moved, you EXPECTED it, thus avoided it. If you drive with the mentality that every other driver on the road thinks it's a "contact sport" (HGV's especially so it seems), you'll be a lot safer than assuming everyone drives SAFELY, because the truth is a great many of them do not. Sure they can make it go forward and stop, but things like being in the right lane for a motorway junction, or using those sticks on the side of the wheel that make the pretty lights flash on and off, or the shiney silver things on the middle of the windscreen and attached to the outside of the vehicles - yeah don't expect them to use those. If a person decides to keep "chancing it" by pulling into a gap too small - one day they WILL get rear ended, and I hope when that happens the other party has a dash cam to show the unsafe manouver, so it's only partial fault. I know the highway code says the onus is on the car behind to NOT hit the car in front if it brakes hard or does anything stupid, but if a person drives in perpetually manner that expects the other driver to not hit them, then that person is a danger to every other road user. "How people drive day to day" and "how you are SUPPOSED TO DRIVE" according to the mandates and guidelines in the highway code are frighteningly often COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. If you prefer to drive in a manner that often ignores the highway code that's your choice, but hating on TLDC because he didn't immediately brake and instead (I suspect) decided to continue at the same speed and brake later thus demonstrating to the learner AND instructor that it was an unsafe manouver, STILL makes YOU wrong. I am an advanced licence holder and yet I too have let it be known, in various ways that other road users have done something they shouldn't have, up to and including getting out of my car and informing another driver, in a firm manner, that they only narrowly avoided an RTA because I was expecting them to be an idiot. As an example; every time I see a left junction I expect the person in front to brake hard and turn left without indicating - and about 10% of the time, I'm right, and certain main junctions it happens more often. I also assume if there is a large gap in the traffic ahead and a left junction, I assume the next oncoming car will turn right, across my path, again without indicating - and I am right again a frightening large number of times. I have avoided an RTA hundreds of times because I was expecting it. Fact is if drivers on UK roads were asked to take their test again tommorrow, a huge majority of them would fail in some way or other.
What a load of twaddle ( polite version) you pick out and interpret parts of the highway code to suit yourself. Basically the cammer didn't drive in the manner you are saying others should drive. Closing down on a learner driver the way he did was wrong You say you are an advanced driver? Never would an advanced driver approach another driver to tell them what they have done wrong. That is road rage and part of advanced driving is to not allow yourself to get stressed by others driving and like you have already said drive in such a manner that others mistakes don't cause you a problem. Have you even got a driving licence let alone a certificate to say you are an advanced driver?
@@robp1316 How do I pick out parts of the highway code to suit myself? I told you to check, clearly you didn't. It says it right there in print and online section 170 of the UK highway code - you have to leave a junction into traffic "safely". Now if you want to ignore what's writen in the highway code for your own agenda, we have freedom of speech laws to allow you, but it still doesn't make you RIGHT. Check it or don't, you'll still be wrong. Period.
@@rafezetter8003 rule 217 Also using your theory of every other driver is stupid I was taught that when approaching a junction whilst having the priority like the dashcammer did here be prepared for cars pulling out especially if cars are parked near the junction and could reduce visibility. I was also taught the same when passing through green traffic lights at controlled junctions just in case someone didn't stop or an emergency vehicle is approaching. You can't say drive safe for only certain circumstances you drive safely for ALL possible circumstances. I still maintain you have never done an advanced driving test. Having road rage because of a learner driver is just stupid and unnecessary. Having road rage is stupid full stop.
@@robp1316 Show me where he had road rage? - I also never said "all drivers are stupid" I said quite a lot of drivers are not giving the road thier FULL ATTENTION, and if you drive assuming that they are not giving the road their FULL ATTENTION, you'll be right often enough to matter. Why do you think we have laws regarding not "driving while distracted" or "due care and attention" - for fun or because it happens often enough to warrent a bloody law to prosecute those who decide to flout it? You and I must be driving on different roads because round here, and most other places I drive, MANY people drive in a manner that would fall inside the guidelines for prosection under those same laws if the other people around them didn't drive defensively to compensate. Oh and here's a thing - you're making this comment to a YT video highlighting bad driving, so in reality your standpoint is moot. Many people drive badly, and it's gotten worse over the years for a myriad reasons, so an instructor should be teaching all new learner drivers to drive defensively, and this instructor allowed a learner driver to pull out into traffic that required another road user to adjust speed, that is a simple and undeniable fact. While every road user hopes everyone else is driving by the same rules and is paying attention, it cannot be GUARENTEED - because if it was the office of national statistics for RTA's would not be showing more than 153,700 REPORTED RTA's in 2019 and over 1,700 deaths. I've already been one of those statistics once (no fault) and spent 3 months in hospital, almost lost my right eye, lost the use of both hands for 3 months and I've now got pins in both legs. You choose to drive how you like and I hope no-one pays the price for your arrogance (except you ofc, that's fine by me) but that will not change the fact that that instructor allowed that learner to pull out in a gap too small that REQUIRED the other driver to brake to avoid a collision. - ergo UNSAFE. My cousin has said many times he would prefer car airbags be removed and that instead they install claymore mines on the front and rear bumpers and a spike in the middle of the driving wheel - maybe then drivers will drive better, slower and safer. What does he do for a living? He's a paramedic, and his brother is a fire officer and both of them have some pretty horrifc stories to tell about RTA's they have both had to attend, including finding decapitated CHILDREN in cars. Personally I think footage of fatal RTA's should be required viewing for every learner, and every person that creates an accident because of careless driving be forced to talk to the families of fatal RTA's.
@@robp1316 1. Where is the road rage ? 2. Where did I tell THEM they were doing wrong ? 3. Where was the closing down ? I can't answer these questions because they didn't happen. Unless !!!! 1.You class talking to yourself road rage. Unless !!!! 2. You think that they have incredibly good hearing and can hear me talking in my car telling them that they did wrong. Unless !!!! 3. You think someone pulling out on me is me closing the gap down. If that person was on their test would they have been marked down for doing that ? Yes of course they would have, at 2:26 you can see a 30mph sign which I'm doing, probably just under it because of all the humps in the road, but I had to slow down to 15mph when they pulled out, which means what ? There manoeuvre affected my speed which means they pulled out on me. And to put an even bigger spin on it (The Weather) you are supposed to be driving according to the weather conditions, it's raining visibility and braking distance all come into effect as well I remember many years ago on my driving test when I turned left or right the examiner would be looking to see if I had enough room to pull out, making so obvious what he was doing. Maybe this learner was on a test and it's not the instructor in the car but the examiner, I'm hoping the examiner because if it's the instructor then it really is a bad driving school.

1 - The instructor should have told the LEARNER driver to wait for a gap where they were comfortable pulling into WITHOUT expecting the traffic to slow down to accomodate; EXPLANATION WHY: while most people DO give learners some leeway because we were all learners once, the fact is from a SAFETY standpoint, you CANNOT GUARENTEE, and SHOULD NEVER assume the oncoming traffic will slow for you, even more so now with too many peoples attentions diverted to phones etc. The realty is EVERY SINGLE DRIVER ON THE ROAD WHEN LEAVING A JUNCTION MUST ASSUME THE NEXT DRIVER AFTER THE GAP IS NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND WILL NOT SLOW DOWN, thus if the gap is too small and you pull out and the driver actually isn't paying attention, then YOU have just caused an RTA, for an "unsafe" manouvre. Doesn't matter how long you wait, it HAS TO BE SAFE.
2 - The instructor also cannot tell the learner to pull out into a "smaller" space then accelerate hard to match speed in the same way a more experienced driver might, again unsafe and also for a learner more likey to cause a clutch stall of the engine with another vehicle closing - who also, to reiterate, cannot be GUARENTEED to be paying attention to the road ahead.
There is a simple rule of highway code regarding pulling into constant flowing traffic - general rule #170 look all around before emerging. Do not cross or join a road until there is a gap large enough for you to do so SAFELY.
feel free to verify this for yourselves
If the gap requires the existing traffic to slow down, it's not safe. Period. A person should at ALL TIMES assume the person driving the vehicles around them doesn't know you are there, hasn't seen you, and is about to do a manouvre that will result in an RTA, because your vehicle is in the space they want to go to.
If it doesn't happen, great, but I think many drivers have experienced another driver doing something very stupid and only avoided an RTA because they were paying attention - and sometimes even then, not avoided an RTA.
A person should always drive in a manner whereby EXPECTING them to hit you, and thus drive in a way whereby that other driver HAS NO OPPORTUNITY to hit you, because you are not in that space; you waited, you moved, you EXPECTED it, thus avoided it.
If you drive with the mentality that every other driver on the road thinks it's a "contact sport" (HGV's especially so it seems), you'll be a lot safer than assuming everyone drives SAFELY, because the truth is a great many of them do not. Sure they can make it go forward and stop, but things like being in the right lane for a motorway junction, or using those sticks on the side of the wheel that make the pretty lights flash on and off, or the shiney silver things on the middle of the windscreen and attached to the outside of the vehicles - yeah don't expect them to use those.
If a person decides to keep "chancing it" by pulling into a gap too small - one day they WILL get rear ended, and I hope when that happens the other party has a dash cam to show the unsafe manouver, so it's only partial fault.
I know the highway code says the onus is on the car behind to NOT hit the car in front if it brakes hard or does anything stupid, but if a person drives in perpetually manner that expects the other driver to not hit them, then that person is a danger to every other road user.
"How people drive day to day" and "how you are SUPPOSED TO DRIVE" according to the mandates and guidelines in the highway code are frighteningly often COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. If you prefer to drive in a manner that often ignores the highway code that's your choice, but hating on TLDC because he didn't immediately brake and instead (I suspect) decided to continue at the same speed and brake later thus demonstrating to the learner AND instructor that it was an unsafe manouver, STILL makes YOU wrong. I am an advanced licence holder and yet I too have let it be known, in various ways that other road users have done something they shouldn't have, up to and including getting out of my car and informing another driver, in a firm manner, that they only narrowly avoided an RTA because I was expecting them to be an idiot.
As an example; every time I see a left junction I expect the person in front to brake hard and turn left without indicating - and about 10% of the time, I'm right, and certain main junctions it happens more often. I also assume if there is a large gap in the traffic ahead and a left junction, I assume the next oncoming car will turn right, across my path, again without indicating - and I am right again a frightening large number of times. I have avoided an RTA hundreds of times because I was expecting it.
Fact is if drivers on UK roads were asked to take their test again tommorrow, a huge majority of them would fail in some way or other.
What a load of twaddle ( polite version) you pick out and interpret parts of the highway code to suit yourself. Basically the cammer didn't drive in the manner you are saying others should drive. Closing down on a learner driver the way he did was wrong
You say you are an advanced driver? Never would an advanced driver approach another driver to tell them what they have done wrong. That is road rage and part of advanced driving is to not allow yourself to get stressed by others driving and like you have already said drive in such a manner that others mistakes don't cause you a problem. Have you even got a driving licence let alone a certificate to say you are an advanced driver?
@@robp1316 How do I pick out parts of the highway code to suit myself? I told you to check, clearly you didn't. It says it right there in print and online section 170 of the UK highway code - you have to leave a junction into traffic "safely". Now if you want to ignore what's writen in the highway code for your own agenda, we have freedom of speech laws to allow you, but it still doesn't make you RIGHT. Check it or don't, you'll still be wrong. Period.
@@rafezetter8003 rule 217
Also using your theory of every other driver is stupid I was taught that when approaching a junction whilst having the priority like the dashcammer did here be prepared for cars pulling out especially if cars are parked near the junction and could reduce visibility. I was also taught the same when passing through green traffic lights at controlled junctions just in case someone didn't stop or an emergency vehicle is approaching. You can't say drive safe for only certain circumstances you drive safely for ALL possible circumstances. I still maintain you have never done an advanced driving test. Having road rage because of a learner driver is just stupid and unnecessary. Having road rage is stupid full stop.
@@robp1316 Show me where he had road rage? - I also never said "all drivers are stupid" I said quite a lot of drivers are not giving the road thier FULL ATTENTION, and if you drive assuming that they are not giving the road their FULL ATTENTION, you'll be right often enough to matter. Why do you think we have laws regarding not "driving while distracted" or "due care and attention" - for fun or because it happens often enough to warrent a bloody law to prosecute those who decide to flout it? You and I must be driving on different roads because round here, and most other places I drive, MANY people drive in a manner that would fall inside the guidelines for prosection under those same laws if the other people around them didn't drive defensively to compensate. Oh and here's a thing - you're making this comment to a YT video highlighting bad driving, so in reality your standpoint is moot. Many people drive badly, and it's gotten worse over the years for a myriad reasons, so an instructor should be teaching all new learner drivers to drive defensively, and this instructor allowed a learner driver to pull out into traffic that required another road user to adjust speed, that is a simple and undeniable fact. While every road user hopes everyone else is driving by the same rules and is paying attention, it cannot be GUARENTEED - because if it was the office of national statistics for RTA's would not be showing more than 153,700 REPORTED RTA's in 2019 and over 1,700 deaths. I've already been one of those statistics once (no fault) and spent 3 months in hospital, almost lost my right eye, lost the use of both hands for 3 months and I've now got pins in both legs. You choose to drive how you like and I hope no-one pays the price for your arrogance (except you ofc, that's fine by me) but that will not change the fact that that instructor allowed that learner to pull out in a gap too small that REQUIRED the other driver to brake to avoid a collision. - ergo UNSAFE. My cousin has said many times he would prefer car airbags be removed and that instead they install claymore mines on the front and rear bumpers and a spike in the middle of the driving wheel - maybe then drivers will drive better, slower and safer. What does he do for a living? He's a paramedic, and his brother is a fire officer and both of them have some pretty horrifc stories to tell about RTA's they have both had to attend, including finding decapitated CHILDREN in cars. Personally I think footage of fatal RTA's should be required viewing for every learner, and every person that creates an accident because of careless driving be forced to talk to the families of fatal RTA's.

1. Where is the road rage ?
2. Where did I tell THEM they were doing wrong ?
3. Where was the closing down ?
I can't answer these questions because they didn't happen.
Unless !!!!
1.You class talking to yourself road rage.
Unless !!!!
2. You think that they have incredibly good hearing and can hear me talking in my car telling them that they did wrong.
Unless !!!!
3. You think someone pulling out on me is me closing the gap down.
If that person was on their test would they have been marked down for doing that ?
Yes of course they would have, at 2:26 you can see a 30mph sign which I'm doing, probably just under it because of all the humps in the road, but I had to slow down to 15mph when they pulled out, which means what ?
There manoeuvre affected my speed which means they pulled out on me.
And to put an even bigger spin on it (The Weather) you are supposed to be driving according to the weather conditions, it's raining visibility and braking distance all come into effect as well
I remember many years ago on my driving test when I turned left or right the examiner would be looking to see if I had enough room to pull out, making so obvious what he was doing. Maybe this learner was on a test and it's not the instructor in the car but the examiner, I'm hoping the examiner because if it's the instructor then it really is a bad driving school.
