I had a Fiat 500 behind me as I drove into the village close to where I live and although it's 30mph I was driving slower because of sharp bends and it's a single track road. The car behind, the Fiat 500, looked like it was actually in my boot it was that close and it started flashing it's lights at me. I stopped and asked if there was a problem, something hanging off my car maybe, and the old fella just said could I get a move on as I was driving too slow. I didn't say anything but got back in my car and drove at 15mph for the next 1.5 miles until he turned on to the main road.. What a cheek🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Fiat 500 drivers eh!!
You legend 👍
Aussie here - love your commentary 🙂 May I make a suggestion? The tailgaters like the Tesla I would not call them arseholes as those are useful, and as the Tesla is a pain in your arse I would think the better term is they are hemorrhoids, because those are a pain in your arse just like that damned Tesla.... Keep up the great work. Just hoping to give you a great new term to use in future videos (haha)
Audi and BMW blinker fluid is distilled from the tears of honest politicians so you can tell how rare and expensive it is
Remember it's the driver not the make of the car which is at fault. Just watch any roundabout exit and you'll see at least 50% fail to indicate. Not all are Audis or BMWs.
@@stephengraham1153 yeah but most that do it, drive those sorts of cars.... "Always an Audi"..... stereotypes exists for a reason.
How in the heck can you eat an orange when driving? Utter madness. I did laugh at your Tetris joke. He really was rubbish at it! 🤣
Usually it starts will peeling it otherwise it doesn’t taste nice 😉
I think that clip shows why eating while driving should have its own category of offence rather than the high threshold offence of driving without due care and attention
@@smilerbob , I struggle with an orange sitting at the table, let alone trying to eat one in the car. I wouldn’t want a sticky orange mess in my car anyway, although I suppose it would smell nice! 😁
@@terryable-hh4ck , 🤣
try chicken chow mien and rice with chop sticks rice, now that's hard an orange no probs
@@alanbennett2140 , I wouldn’t be able to manage chopsticks as I would be too busy putting on my mascara and lipstick. 😂
It was a tipper lorry. They are all crazy.
You should come drive around Birmingham mate, and view for yourself all of the "imported" driving that's here. You wont believe your eyes😅. Sad but true. Its shocking hiw driving standards have dropped.
Stupid question but I'm assuming the express pickup is £10 for the first 10 minutes the same as drop off point? £10 is a bloody ridiculous price but typical of south east England and London. That and the £12.50 ULEZ fee
Funny thing is they quote some absolute crap about doing it to build back after the plandemic because of losses as well as some net zero garbage and yet made a profit of 196 million last year which was a higher profit than pre plandemic in 2019 which the profit was around 150 million.
I wonder what caused the huge leap in profit eh can't be parking related can it? lol
Both those fees are insane!! They definitely want you to drive an EV or use public transportation!
Ulez I feel is the biggest con as I has affected me and a lot of people. I sold my car when they brought in the extended zone in 2021. Its just a way to make money. I'm happy people are cutting the cameras off
@@zaink7037you sold your car? Looks like their plan worked then.
06:07 tbf I’d drive like a pr*ck if I had to drive a fiat 500.
😂
I am in shock at the first clip. A highway maintenance vehicle not driving like a dick.
It was quite the surprise; they are always one to watch out for, amongst all of the ones, obviously.🙃
5:57 These people must forget they are driving company cars.
Or they are just that shit at driving they just don't know.
Why did the 'Professional Driver' eat an Orange? Because he was unable to find a Mobile Phone on the right network 😂😂😂.
I've come to the conclusion that many "road users" are either.....
Totally illiterate, braindead &/or possibly both.
I was desperately trying NOT to spit any 🍻 out due to laughing my tids off at the rants.
Some great/valid points raised.
Keep this content coming Tony.
And I though the punchline was “Because his phone was an Apple” 😉
@@smilerbobFFS...... 😂😂😂
I completely forgot about that as an option rofl.
@@grahamnutt8958 I like your one, more subtle. How many people will remember the adverts?
“The future is bright, the future is -a taxi driver eating an- Orange”
Those were the days, sending a text message took longer than tapping a morse code telegram and petrol was somewhere around 70p per litre
@@smilerbobStrewth, mate. I'm old enough to remember 5 star Petrol - and 60p/Gallon lol 😂
@@grahamnutt8958 I vaguely remember one of the star ratings, most likely 4-star and a lot of grumbling people where I lived moaning about the need to have additives added to every tank fill.
For some reason I have 4-star as red or black at the pump, unleaded green and diesel yellow but that could be some scrambled memories joining together
so what's the audi driver supposed to do????? stop on the junction!!!!!!! you better be the most perfect driver in the UK, or you're just a pedant.......
Tipper lorries are normally in a rush.
They must get bonus incentives or some thing.
Them and skip lorries absolute cowboys
Payed per load!
Ah hem, please note, taxi drivers drive taxis because they are too dull to do any other job. So to call them 'professional' is a bit of a misnomer really.
Spot on.@@icouldbewrongicouldberight
"Professional" isn't a mark of skill, it's a mark of payment. Being a professional at something just means you get paid to do it, it says nothing about someone's level of skill.
Most of my defensive driving is done at roundabouts!
They could soon stop pickup in a drop zone. Employ wardens that when they see a vehicle pull up and not drop anyone off, tell the driver to move and do not allow them to pick anyone up, even if waiting there. I say this even though I have done it myself at Stansted. The difference is that I know that my wife will be there with one bag and it is a case of stop and away within two minutes, the same as a drop-off. It is not so much the picking up it is the vehicles that get there before the passengers and end up blocking the bays.
I bet the guy dropped off someone in the drop off area and just picked up folks who were waiting there. Saves him 10 quid that he dings both sets of passengers for.
@@xo2quilt Everyone's a winner,proper job done there.Except if you are driving around & around trying to find a space to drop someone off.
Put cameras there, a fine for every taxi not dropping off will soon get the coffers full 👍
Mate. You should visit Indonesia sometimes, and put your dashcam on record while you drive around the city. I guarantee you will have yourself a truckload of content to post on YT by the end of your drive.
The problem with carers who work for home care providers is that they have so many people to visit and they only get a few minutes at each location before they have to move onto the next one. This means that they are always racing from place to place. It's no excuse for bad driving, but the fault lies more with the heavy workload allocated by the employer. More time should be allowed at each location with a fewer number of visits, but of course this would cost more money.
can you imagine going to court saying I went through that red light because I had a busy schedule.
@@thelondondashcam I know. It's not acceptable because they are putting other people's lives at risk. Stricter implementation of traffic laws should force care providers to employ enough people who don't need to drive badly, otherwise, ultimately, they will lose their workforce to driving bans and accidents.
Workload my butt. Priority is road user safety. My family use the roads. To hell with your workload excuse
I think Tesla's are trying their best to be the new Audi!
overtake, pull in and brake, classic wanker manouvre.
A classic german car or landrover move 🤐🤐🤐

@@sillybait1329 Lol, I've got a merc and a land rover but I swear it's not me 😂😂
The Homecare person with the Fiat 500 cant spell "Independent" correctly on their logo at the back of the car either. I dont claim to be a spelling expert, but I would have spell checked my advertising logo before I stuck it semi-permanently on the back of my vehicle.
Tony. "Tit in a Tesla"??? Although I now drive a Tesla. if you were driving near me perhaps I wouldn't be in that class? Haha
2:58
Is that a Lotus Elan?
If it is…. 🥰
5:01 What kind of messy lights are these. I see your arrow is pointing at a red light. But the light to the left is green!
Is that supposed to be its own independent crossing just 5 m after the intersection! That is just asking people to run the red light.
... Alright let's see what happens.
Manchester Airport is charging £100 if you’re caught picking up in the drop off area , not that I’m a fan of Man airport , but …….
That's a whopping fine!! Would that only apply to professional drivers or if a family member dropped off and picked up family/friends in the drop off area, would they get fined as well?
7:59 If you pronounce it like that, a lot of words DO rhyme with Orange. 🤣🤣🤣
Nice to see my "Home town" (well, most of my life I was there) Shame it`s a shite hole now. The driving standards don`t change from Town to Town, country to Country. I live in the SE of France now and they all want to be there Yesterday, me, I take my time. Nice Vids BTW.
Would you trust a company running that Fiat 500 that can't even spell 'independent' (on the back of the car)? Tells you a lot about the people they employ to drive their vehicles.
Did you see the number plate on the home care fiat 500
BU70 BUF
Or But hole buff lol 😂 😂
On the lorry and the learner: If the learner was positioned correctly for a right turn then it is not undertaking.
If you want to claim it was undertaking, then the learner was hogging the overtaking lane.
Don't get me wrong, it was still a dangerously close pass, but just not undertaking.
Don't they teach learners to apply the handbrake at red lights anymore 🤔. I've been driving for 30+ years and always put the car in neutral and apply the handbrake at lights
Tipper scum are just a bigger Audi. The rules of the road don’t apply to them 🤣
The blue car is turning wreft so thats ok ..There are plenty of disused airfields in the uk that could be marked as roads for learners to practise on before being allowed onto roads .
Why do you let them in the more you do that you are encouraging them stand up for yourself
6:45 the Fiat 500 can not read the road markings, due to being to close to the car in front.
He is not a professional taxi operator and he has no idea how to drive in this country
Sorry mate, you got that last clip totally wrong. You say there are two lanes going in to that roundabout.
Really? How do you figure that one? You were improperly overtaking the van just before the roundabout. Show us the white lines with your little yellow arrow that it's two lanes. I think some impatience and lack of observation on your behalf. If I saw you creeping up like that, I'd have taken a position in the centre of the lane, defensively, to block you. It's one wide lane, there is nothing for you to believe it is a two lane road/roundabout.
What's that word I am looking for? Could it be 'numpty', why did the van driver deserve you throwing that at them?
Oh dear are you the van driver by any chance?
Because he obviously didn’t use common sense either.
You can see 2 lanes going to the beginning of the roundabout can’t you ? Please say yes because if you can’t see that then there’s no point carrying on, now do you think 1 lane just disappears!! No they both go around the roundabout, there is plenty of room if the van driver ( You ) takes the roundabout properly.
@@thelondondashcam , there just aren't two lanes there. The traffic has moved over as a courtesy to cars like yourself turning right so, when the queue is stationary and safe to move by, you are enabled to. But rather than taking that as a cue to use the opportunity sensibly, you chose not to stagger your entry to the roundabout, as would be sensible, and all you had to do was back off by 0.1 seconds to facilitate that, you pushed what was obviously a bad pattern of traffic.
The problem here is that you created the problem and you are unwilling to see it, even if it was two lanes you could have easily staggered the flow to allow faster traffic, but it wasn't 'even'. It was actually one lane. Take another look.
Now, you may not agree, but let's consider why you might not agree .. because the road was wide enough for two columns of traffic. Oh, OK, so that has become your definition of two lanes,, 'if it is wide enough for two lanes, then it is two lanes', because if you actually look again there are zero road markings up to the roundabout and zero road markings on the roundabout.
Maybe you didn't notice? Maybe you didn't look, you just assumed it was two lanes?
Like I asked, if I am wrong, please add your yellow arrow showing the lane markings, if you please.
@@thelondondashcam , out of sheer idle curiosity (as you don't seem to have wanted to add those yellow arrows showing it's two lanes) if you click on this link you'll see from google maps that there is no way that is two lanes entering the roundabout; www.google.com/maps/@51.398474,-0.1587127,3a,75y,301.82h,64.84t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sV8J0WROIeRmCCGQwzPHwcA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1?entry=ttu
@@thelondondashcam , you can see the consequence of trying to turn it into two lanes (as you did) in this photo, which you can see the truck has to cross the central line of the (actual) road; www.google.com/maps/@51.3989109,-0.1591098,3a,37.5y,163.3h,80.83t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1scv9c4gAek-axBQ6HlB-Rnw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1?entry=ttu
I'm just saying on this occasion you're not right. You usually are. But sometimes you seem to get a grump at other road users when the problem might possibly be you overreacting, and you just have to chill.🙂 Seriously, just go easy on other people with the name calling, none of us is perfect. I think the van actually helped you out, you can see then put their foot down, they could see their exit was clear so rather than slowing you both down by trying to go wide, they just nailed the pedal (for you!) to clear the roundabout earlier. They didn't have to do that (for you) as the traffic was stationary for them ahead.
Chill!😎
so we have - Always An Audi, Tit in a Tesla, Corner Cutting Cretins, and now, A Fucking Fiat 500,
Maybe a fart in a Fiat
Compared to tetris game. :D
Love the Tetris comment
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but you mention defensive driving at 10:05. I understand what you are saying but you aren’t defensive driving or making allowances for him, you are following the road signs and making space for them to move over.
If you was defensive driving you wouldn’t have been driving alongside him or being close to the rear left side of the vehicle knowing that they were unable to keep in the lane and also eating an orange. You would’ve been keeping a suitable gap between your vehicle and his so if he did drift out of the lane again you wouldn’t need to take immediate action to avoid a collision as that avoiding action would’ve already been taken
As I say, please don’t take it the wrong way as you was fully aware of the other driver which is great, just not sure on the definition of the phrase being used 👍
In the last video LDC had a rant about defensive driving which is why he mentioned it in this video. His comment was a bit of a mickey take which wouldn't make a lot of sense unless you saw the previous video.👍👍👍
@@Holycurative9610 Understood and thank you, I haven’t seen the previous video so yes this would explain the lack of understanding with the inside joke 👍
@@johncranna Having seen the clip in question it was quite a terrible rant by LDC. Don’t get me wrong, I understand where he is coming from having spent many years driving around London and myself being one of the “I have right of way” brigade (shameful I know but no longer am I like that) but people make mistakes, people make errors of judgement. It was clear there was a chance the car was going to pull out but the only anticipation was the brake pedal and the horn. Maintaining the slower speed would have prevented all the agro in that clip.
LDC is quite right, if a collision had occurred it was on the other driver not giving way. No arguments there. Defensive driving is about avoiding the conflict in the first place.
Oh well, one day maybe
Not condoning the Home Care employee's driving but they have more than one person to call on in a day and they are usually against the clock between clients. A catch 22 if you like, less clients visited in a day means more carers required. More carers makes the care more expensive. Some you win, some you lose.....
If the Home Care person had had a collision, that might have used up a lot more of their time than the second or two they saved by driving dangerously.
@@ditch3827 As I said, I don't condone the driving. Just looking from a distance.
Always an Audi and a Berk in a Merc
Great video for more than 1 reason. I am driving to Gatwick, and I needed to see what Lane I needed to get into for the long stay car park (thank you train strike)
Thanks The London Dash Cam 🚖👍
Hardly left...more straight on and queue jumping. Very important people in logo'd Fart 500.
Go back and look at the roundabout sign see where the A297 is going.
@@thelondondashcam Queue jumper... plain and simple, much more important than just waiting in a queue
Despite being 35, I only learnt to drive nearly four years ago - one thing I remember not liking is the fact that some other drivers (SUVs, in particular) liked to get right up my arse; it's almost like some people forget they were once learners too?! Also - straight-lining a roundabout is a pet peeve of mine. Nobody seems to have lane discipline these days!
While that learner at 10:30 was indeed slow, as a learner driver I can see first hand how impatient people are with learners...they see the "L" sign on the car and they immediately think that you are slow even if you are not, and they feel the urge to come up your ass...I always go with the maximum speed limit where it's possible, and I'm always being tailgated in the 30 zones, sometimes they even beep at me because I'm not going over the limit...but interestingly on dual carriageways sometimes I have to slow down from 70 to not to undertake people in the right lane because they are going 60 there. I don't mind them already, even my instructor told me they are just wankers :)
I have only been, watching your channel for a month. Can I say how good it is. I have now started saying ‘Always and Audi’. Brilliant strap line.
Dropping off at Gatwick, check out the service roads underneath the south terminal. wink wink.😇
2:16 I think they dropped off and immediately picked up.
4:44 indicator's broken!
Ah, the FIAT 500: Fix It Again, Tony - 500 times.
That Tesla and Fiat clip really annoyed me. Just idiots
In the first clip it looks like you are also in the wrong lane? The blue car moves from lane two to lane one to take the first exit and you move form lane one to lane two to go past that exit? Am I missing something or are you doing exactly the same as the blue car you are criticising?
I would assume Lane 1 on the entry to the rouldabout will be for the first and second exit. The second lane will be second exit and beyond. The road markings look severely worn there so difficult to know fully
The left lane goes left or straight on so there is no lane swapping but following the lane round. the blue car moves from the right lane to the left then takes the first exit.
I get that the blue car definitely did the wrong thing, that's not in question. But I disagree on lane one going left and also straight on. If that was the case it would follow around like normal but it clearly doesn't. If you're in lane one and don't change lanes the only direction you can go is to take the exit? For me it's clear that lane one only goes to the first exit and if you want to go straight on you should be in lane two. If that's not the case then the design of this roundabout is clearly wrong.
@@CraigNielI see the confusion, it's two lanes going in to three. The left lane means you can take lane one or lane two on the roundabout, the second lane means lane three on the roundabout only.
Many roundabouts have less entry lanes than actual lanes on the roundabout, especially spiral roundabouts at larger junctions which this appears to be.
If there are two lanes entering and three lanes on the roundabout, it goes without saying that one of those lanes will split into two. It is usually lane 1 that will split into two upon entry unless both lanes go left in which case lane 2 will split into lanes 2 and 3 on the roundabout
11:58 Pedestrians and cyclists like 20 mph speed limits as they are safer.
True! But no rules to say cyclist must obey speed limits! So they could legally do 40mph in a 20zone!
@@terrystratford1235 True! But if they hit someone at that speed then they would have committed the offences of dangerous or furious cycling. Cyclists like everyone else have a duty of care to other road users.
@@ditch3827 there was a news item where cops saw cyclist going 40mph in a 30zone. Cops gave them words of warning.....perhaps what you have just told me!?

Thanks for a great video Tony. I love your “Always an Audi” and “The Tit in the Tesla” You’ll have to find one for the Fiat 500!!! Stay safe and keep the posts coming 👍👍👍

@@thelondondashcam Tony, you’re a genius 🤣💎🤣
I thought it was fucking fiat 500.
So if there are no signs on the road in for the pick zone how would I find it ?
There are signs at jct 9a for the pick up lanes.
I just hope cyclists give cars 1.5 meters when they over take in a 20 MPH
Do you have to pay the 5 pounds charge
The last time I was at Heathrow, back in July, you could pay using your phone or you can open an account with the airport parking people. I'm assuming if you don't pay within a certain time you get a fine in the post..
From Gatwick airport website:
"Terminal drop-off charge
A minimum £5 charge now applies to use the designated drop-off zones in both North and South Terminals.
You must pay the terminal drop-off charge by midnight the day after you use the drop-off zones. You can receive a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) if you're late or do not pay."
Charges:
£5 for 10 minutes
£1 for each additional minute up to 20 minutes
Maximum charge of £25 and the maximum length of stay 30 mins.
😮😮😮😮Hope this helps👍👍
Yes it’s done on auto pay as soon as the cameras spot my number plate £5 comes out of my bank account.
At 5.15 the guy did not make it difficult for you to pull out. It was your refusal to slow down that made it difficult. Your obstruction, your problem. You were the one causing a possible incident by pulling out unsafely.
An Audi in the correct lane Tony, are you sure you are not on the whiskey?
Teslas's? I thought they were Tosslers.
09:11 - i guess, BMW, white van, Audi or a Kia??
I guessed it would be a German car, Audi, Merc or BMW🤣
