"HGV should have waited". Alternatively you could have noticed he had already started his manoeuvre turning from a main road into a tight side road and held back as soon as you passed the van so that he could complete it.
This is exactly what I was going to post. I suppose he couldn't hold back for a few seconds or he would have been late for some thing. Also, the HGV would have been blocking the main road waiting for "Mr. Important" !!
Agree, cammers could have clearly just held back a few seconds, not an issue but decided to make an issue out of their poor judgement.. unfortunately this is a lot of what these compilations seem to be made up of
That scots guy has a bit of anger, chill a bit. And how can you laugh at somebody having had an accident. There really are some strange and impatient souls on the road.
Someone got so upset at "Car Driving Andy" being called out as "space-closing Andy" two weeks ago, I half-assumed he was the cammer Iin question. Now we get another clip of Andy wearing his callous indifference to other road users on his sleeve, I wonder if his white knight will be back soon.
3:04 No, he should ABSOLUTELY NOT have sped up. That CAN work, but most of the time it only makes things worse and before you know it you will have damaged your tow bar or worse. What you really need to do here is: keep the steering wheel in place (don't countersteer) and HIT THE BRAKES. When your trailer gets unstable, you DON'T accelerate. Ever. You slow down. This guy actually did the right thing in the situation at hand. He had made his mistake before, by going too fast and not hitting the brakes soon enough when the road went downhill and/or started getting uneven.
Don't brake - the caravan will push past you, Jack-knifing. Was always told to come off the power, don't counter steer and let the weight of the trailer/caravan slow you down. And then go get the rear tires checked - happened to my parents many years ago and it wrecked the tyres. Driver did well to hold it.
that on at 3:47 - sadly more and more people are doing that, with the mentality of "they can just eff-ing stop." I've been on the receiving end of that mindset when i was on a main road that was 50MPH with a staggered junction. Woman decided to take a chance in perfect clear day conditions. Hit her full speed in the driver side, rolled her car and the airbag deployed hard in her face. She had a horrible black eye from it and was screaming for help. Handed the dashcam footage in later to the police and she had to go to court for dangerous driving. Both cars were a right off, she was begging me not to claim on the insurance. Was offering to pay for my repairs too. Thing was, i injured my back, slipped disc at the base, so was off work for 18 months. So no income after a few months, no car to get the family around, you bet i claimed on her insurance and took her to court for the injury i sustained. Got a lovely cash payout and she was disqualified for driving and ordered to attend a driver awareness course.
The number of wobble wagon towers who don't know about large vehicles having an air bow wave that's pushed in front of them. Then as they overtake the wobble starts, this one did even know how the reverse as they had the wrong lock on to start with.
@@ktgequestrian4475 I don't think, so I recon he was being hassled by WVD up his erse and made a minor misjudgement in getting out of his was FAF. IMO natch.
in the meantime, speeding up in order to straighten the trailer as suggested in the video would have been about the WORST thing the driver could have done - ESPECIALLY if the weight distribution is the issue. Chances are the trailer would have spun even more out of control and, at the very least, have damaged the tow bar. In fact, excessive speed was the chief probem that triggered the problem to begin with (maybe he should have hit the brakes on going downhill - that trailer behind him pushes the car quite a bit when you go downhill, you need to take account of that). He was going so fast that I am not even sure there was uneven distribution involved. Either way, just go a little slower, especialy in curves and uneven surfaces, and this won't happen. If the distribution is uneven - well, you need to go even slower. It's really as simple as that.
Mr Snakey caravan. Oh dear. First, get a friction hitch fitted. Second don't drive like a twat and realise you're only allowed to do 60mph when you're towing. Oh, and check your nose weight, and loading of your caravan, don't put anything heavy at the back.
The caravan will have a friction hitch fitted as standard. Plus it would've had an anti-snake device fitted because it's a top of the range caravan. He was driving too fast with it not properly loaded
Unfortunately the caravan drivers mistake was made long before the incident occurred. The mistake was not balancing the caravan properly, if done right, it should change direction quickly just fine without wanting to swing. Unfortunately many people can now tow trailers and caravans without taking any kind of theory & practical test. Most drivers n the road don’t have a single clue about weight distribution.
Snaking of the caravan. The driver was going too fast to begin with. He should have just took his foot of the accelerator, and let the car slow down on its own, don't do force braking. Big mistake that would be. He was lucky this time. If he'd have gone faster, it would have make it totally worse
Agree about the first part - he was too fast to begin with. Possibly failed to hit the brakes on a descent, forgetting how the extra weight is pushing the car to higher speeds. But once the situation was like that - don't countersteer and DO HIT THE BRAKES. But yes, he did get lucky. This could easily have ended in the guard railing. And if he had heeded the advice in the video (speed up to straighten), things could have gone MUCH worse.
4:46 white van seemed pretty close behind, wonder whether that was the reason the car cut across so quickly. Probably getting an impatient driver tailgating them as 2 hgvs take 3 miles to pass each other.
7:00 thought their lane was closing so moved across before they got blocked in. Then realised their mistake and pretended they wanted that lane all along, maybe?
That crash with the 2 Trucks. Yes, he was an idiot for pulling into the path of that lorry, but did anyone else notice the speed that lorry was doing ? Got to be at least 50 ! 30mph road
Actually it's a 40 zone but it changes at the end its 30 then passing the train station it gota upto 40. However I must say the amount of drivers that do 50+ is unbelievable & it is the entrance to tilbury docs where the police stand & park 👍
2:40 "Smart Motorways" they are only smart, when drivers pay attention, or use some common sense, however that seems to be a rareaty these days and some people who get behind the wheel of a vehicle drive like a muppet
#1:26 newsflash, trucks need room to turn and you came from behind a parked van, the truck driver left his xray specs behind and could not see you, "bad truck BAD!" next time breath and let the through. #2:03 although they should have made sure the coast was clear when fleeing the crime scene, maybe you should start anticipating that someone "Might emerge" #2:30 hope no one was hurt, maybe racing, maybe driving like lunatics, maybe just poor driving, but to laugh is childish #2:37 this is the problem with smart motorways, the people that dreamed these up came from a parallel universe where drivers stick to the rules and drive carefully, in this universe they "DON'T"
Pahaha last clip looks like a HGV complaining of someone pulling out JUST because they indicated....PMSL THATS EVERY TRUCK ON A 2 LANE CARRIAGE WAY...MUPPETS
"HGV should have waited". Alternatively you could have noticed he had already started his manoeuvre turning from a main road into a tight side road and held back as soon as you passed the van so that he could complete it.
HGV and delivery drivers like Tesco are told "dont stop for them. You have a time to keep. You are bigger than them, noones gonna argue with you."
Agreed, highway code makes it clear that large vehicles need more room and to give them room. It doesn't say make life difficult for them.

Retard? Oh the irony.
The hgv was already turning before you got to junction .But only being a car driver you think it's all about you
Yet his handle is HGVCam Perth. Which doesn't make it any better.
You should have given that HGV driver far more grace as he was totally unaware of your presence
That scots guy has a bit of anger, chill a bit. And how can you laugh at somebody having had an accident. There really are some strange and impatient souls on the road.
Replace "souls" with twats.

Laughing at an accident? M27. How do you know that someone isn't badly injured or even dead as a result.
Well,the condition of the cars would suggest any impact was minimal, so your handwringing is misplaced.
@@VictheSecret Thank god for your x-ray vision, lets hope you never end up in an accident with some bell-end laughing at you eh?
@@dell723 Low speed collision, no passenger cell incursions, but here you are, showing everyone how uninformed, wet and hysterical you are.

Is that car cutting back in because you’re hogging the middle lane and barely overtaking an HGV
It is more likely because the car driver is a knob.
@@ktgequestrian4475 It definitely is because he's a knob.
@@ktgequestrian4475 I don't think, so I recon he was being hassled by WVD up his erse and made a minor misjudgement in getting out of his was FAF. IMO natch.
Didn’t realise it was two HGVs so my bad 😣
1st clip - (Instructor to learner, pointing at the audi) "And that's how NOT to drive"
Old wibbly wobbly caravan should check his nose weight, balance of his load and kept to his speed limit.
Maybe he should learn to distribute the weight in a caravan correctly. And then take a driving course.
in the meantime, speeding up in order to straighten the trailer as suggested in the video would have been about the WORST thing the driver could have done - ESPECIALLY if the weight distribution is the issue. Chances are the trailer would have spun even more out of control and, at the very least, have damaged the tow bar.

If the distribution is uneven - well, you need to go even slower. It's really as simple as that.
The last clip is hardly dangerous. The signs and cones look the same as coming to a roadworks merge in turn
Why should the HGV have waited? He had already started to turn before you came into view
Mr Snakey caravan. Oh dear. First, get a friction hitch fitted. Second don't drive like a twat and realise you're only allowed to do 60mph when you're towing. Oh, and check your nose weight, and loading of your caravan, don't put anything heavy at the back.

Where the car pulls out between traffic would you suggest they stay there forever, look at the traffic on that side of the road, what would you do.
People forget when we were in covind hgv drivers were heroes now back to normal we're just assholes on the roads
Who lied to you. 😉
In the head on truck crash one, thats not the police thats worse for the tipper driver as it's the DVSA
The best place for them to demonstrate their lack of attention...or target fixation
I thought it was a paramedic at first, as the battenburg looked kind of yellow and green, but after looking up images of 'DVSA stopper car', I concur.
2:29 Ahh, RIP Steve Wright in the afternoon
4:01 That tipper trucker is 100% fired after that
Wouldnt expect anything less from a tipper driver, probably tried claiming that it wasnt their fault.
Do you know the difference between a tipper driver and a exocet missile.......
2mph....

OMG, for the first guy from Perth. As Ashley Neal always says: "delusional"...
#1 - Behaviour such as this is always a bad example in front of Learner drivers.
1:29 Indeed you are
I waa surprised rhat caravaner did not check his towbar after that dangerous swinging..
4:43 So many car drivers see anyone driving a different vehicle type to theirs as NPCs
Love the comment about Audi indicators!!😁

In fact I think your impatient, intolerant but worst totally lacking in anticipation of other road users
There’s something about drivers of red cars. They’re on another level of bad 3:46
All these drivers who got there licenses with out having to take a driving test I wish I was one of them . We all had to do the test so be patience
Caravan probably badly loaded, needs more weight forward towards the tow hitch rather than back.
badly designed, the caravan axle should have been further back on the chassis, problem cured.
The range driver could've caused a pile-up.
Pahaha last clip looks like a HGV complaining of someone pulling out JUST because they indicated....PMSL THATS EVERY TRUCK ON A 2 LANE CARRIAGE WAY...MUPPETS
The instrumental guitar music that played over the second half of the video was beautiful. Who is it by, please?
I don't think it was nice that the truck driver clapped and probably laughed at the caravan snaking, it was probably quite scary for them
That’s good from the lorry driver about signaling, they are the worst offenders.
0:57 I hope you saved THAT clip , because that Audi is a limited edition ( they cost a bomb with working indicators ) 🙄🙄🤦♂🤦♂👎👎
