- Just the usual bunch of idiots in this video.
It's just me driving in and around London mainly in the Surrey areas seeing stupid drivers everywhere I go.

Gotta love the airport pound sign rondels on the floor. You've heard of Congestion Zones, and Low Emission Zones. Now London gets honest and calls it the Money Zone.
Best start to a Friday night this is after a shitty day working from home. You crack me up mate.
Re: 'Undertaking' the lane-hoggers. When I learned to drive (in Ireland, quite a few years ago) one of the three clearly articulated reasons you could overtake on the inside or undertake, was when the traffic in an outside lane was moving slower. If you're still driving within the prescribed speed limit there should be no issue with it provided you didn't deliberately move from behind the lane-hogger to the inside lane to go past them.
I regularly drive past lines of traffic in the middle & outside lines while driving all alone in the inside lane on cruise control at the speed limit. The numpties in the outer lanes think they're moving faster because they're in the 'fast' lanes, I leave them to it.
"Who are you protecting yourself from? Yourself?" That cracked me up 😂
The cabbie should have pulled in straighter at Gatwick Airport but sometimes the passengers are to blame by being demanding to stop at a particular spot as they are not prepared to walk 20 yards
Yards? I think you mean take 20 steps! Oh yes, we have them here in the USA too. "Well, I can't walk that far." Is almost never the truth, it usually means "I don't want to walk."
I have had passengers whom think they can get out of the taxi when you turn a corner and have to stop in traffic on the corner. I have also driven taxis with brake locking which does alleviate this problem. But you then end up with them trying to smash petition to get it you, because you won't let them out and if you release your foot off the foot brake the doors can open
Just found your channel and subscribed, it does however remind me why I retired and moved to the Lakes… yes you still get the odd local making a balls up of things, particularly as it’s an aging population in the town I now live, (Penrith) and also holiday makers passing through. But for the most part local drivers are extremely courteous and friendly, nothing like the 30yrs of progressively worse driving standards day after day of what seemed the majority of London drivers. Up here it’s a different world.
That lorry reversing out, no reversing in could be an issue I think. What he should have is a spotter to help guide him out, either riding with him or one of the people who work where he's delivering, I see it all the time at my local B&Q, lorry needs to reverse out because it can't reverse in B&Q shop worker acts as a spotter for him don't know if that's Standard Operating for B&Q though
This is why we need Defensive Driving Skills more than ever……
Thanks for the info on the taxis in London! When I was there, we used black cabs when we weren't on the tube or train. Never knew that about the licenses - taxis in my area are clearly marked as taxis - signs on top, name of taxi service and phone number. I would never think to look for stickers on windows.
Absolutely love your clips... Keep them coming.
Another gem, thanks.
Thank you, another great video. We need 'Always an Audi' merchandise! 👍
Nothing wrong with Audi just the drivers . I drive an Audi and mostly follow Ashley teaching.
Driving in London is awful, for the most part drivers are impatient and discourteous. It’s so refreshing when someone gives way, or allows you to merge. We don’t go to London that often but I feel I need a message in my back window that reads “ I’m a Stranger Here”. Even good drivers make mistakes occasionally especially in an area they don’t know. We’ve been round roundabouts twice sometimes because the signs aren’t always easy to interpret, as for road markings they’re practically invisible and are completely if covered by a bus or a lorry. Thank goodness we live in the North and Good Luck to those of you who drive in London every day, I don’t know how you put up with it 🤪
YES, subscribed ! Good channel
love these clips, three Audis cut me up today, my mistake picking wife up at school times, one Kia left hand lane on dual carriageway cut me up turning right
Some of your narration really did make me 😂😂 but there is nowt wrong with a bit of sarcasm. Its a good way to make your point.
For some reason I didn't get any notification; then discovered an issue with the Subsciption......
I had been unsubscibed and am aware that it has happened to a lot of other channels 😮.
Your other Subs might need to double check that they haven't had the same problem.
Anyway; great content ✌️👊.
Right turners who don't get across as far as they could and block the road are one of my pet hates.
0:32 what I would like to know is what is behind that brick wall right there on your right???? Looks very cool....
Thanks The London Dash Cam 🚕👍
Cheers for your content, I do enjoy it.
11:16 I think you should have waited until there was a hard shoulder before undertaking. Myself I tend to not do it at all.
Just found channel. Grew up in Long Walk and went to De Burgh school in the early 80s. Haven't been back for 30 years. A trip down memory lane. I still remember the roads; Chetwood Rd., Merland Rise where I first went to school. Even the shops at Tattenham Way seem the same. Wonder if the Spar is still there? Keep up the good work.
No family back there Phil?
Amazing!
To be fair to the taxi driver, it doesn't matter how much knowledge he's done. If he's got a difficult customer demanding to be dropped off just before the silver car he's going to try and do that just to keep them happy and get rid of them ASAP.
The trouble is he is illegally parked, and as you should know there are cameras everywhere at airports so he could’ve got a fine for not parking in a sensible place, I think I would have parked legally to a customer with the hump rather than risk an £80 fine.
To someone that’s illegally parked yeah *keep hating*
Not an excuse.
I usually find that those who continually criticise other drivers are usually the least tolerant and most impatient.
Audi does mean ‘hearing’.
As in ‘ALL other drivers should be hearing The Divine Approach of The Audi and GIVE WAY!’
Class commentary as always. 😂😂😂
Nice one, its always nice to watch your videos in and around where I live. Just by the by are the arrows and circles included with capcut are do you do them yourself. Whichever they are great at highlighting issues.
All included in the free version of CapCut. Also have a look at something called davinci resolve its a bit technical for me but again there is a free version.
Yay! You made my day!❤️
Chuck them out at the long stay carpark and tell them to get the free shuttle bus, £5 saved.
Middle lane hogger in the Ford with the mask on is most frustrating
I had to do an emergency stop once near home while there were some roadworks going on. It was dark and the first time I noticed that there was someone in the road (a runner) was when I was almost about to hit them. They were dressed all in black (including from memory a balaclava, most likely because it was flipping freezing) and while they were a genuine runner (not a criminal) the stupid idiot had one tiny light on them that I could not see. With some reflective gear on their arms or legs (even a high vis jacket) I would easily have seen them and slowed down in advance but still wondered, why the hell where they running in the road?!
At about 11:25, I would probably have also tried to give her a message, but I'd have held back until the hard shoulder re-appeared. That way you have an escape lane if she decides to wake up and move back into the left lane. It's almost certain that she wouldn't have checked her mirrors before doing that.
I think this proves a very good case for speaking to Audi U.K. about some initial extra driver training for all of their customers, before taking delivery..
2:18 Corner pillars seem a big problem in the modern SUV ---- have been caught out a few times myself
1:26 - also known as a hook turn. Eminently safe and sensible. We were taught as children, but that was decades ago.
Your timestamp points to the end of the 'cyclist on the 40mph roundabout' clip, but I didn't realise that a hook turn required the cyclist to ride through the next available red light 😉
More seriously, I think that 'hook turn' may be an antipodean term, it doesn't appear in the UK highway code where that style of turn is termed a 'two-stage turn'
@@ThePhoenix198 - could well be. Any Melburnian would be intimately familiar with the term.
Audi user got privilege mate :D , I'm a audi driver too, but always follow rules :D
"Look at them Eye Lashes" ewww sexy :) made me lol
Like my dad always says treat every driver as a idiot and you are less likely to have a accident.
The reason that wagon at Hampton Court was reversing was because his drop was on a slope.
Those food wagons are full of cages. You kind of have to park facing downhill because when you open the shutter door to unload, if you were parked up hill all the cages would roll backwards and out the back of the wagon.
Thanks for the vids mate 👍
Familiar start - Carshalton........
The Audi at Gatwick did nothing wrong you obviously did not watch it for long enough 😁
😂
In have major pillar issues in my car they are huge and I only drive a Corsa, I can't understand why they are so big, during the first week I had it I almost pulled out into a car three times
I’m amazed that Audis don’t have Bluetooth for phones built in! (Even my humble Ford Focus has that!!)
They do. It's just that some people are too thick to use it.
Great video, Out of pure curiosity what vehicle do you drive?
I drive a Kia E-Nero
@@thelondondashcam Class, Love from R.O.I.
@@thelondondashcam taxi?
No
what I've witnessed, it's usually the smaller the car the worse it fits inside the painted lines. Let it be a parking spot or merging lane, doesn't matter.
That pisses me right off when the council waste money creating a big box on the road for turning right and still these idiots don't take up the correct position on the road! Same with KEEP CLEAR written on the road you will always get the arsehole stopped right on top of the writing and I can't get to join the flow of traffic!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Some terrible lane discipline 🤯
Taxi was badly parked yes. But did he follow the car in front into the space and was left insufficient room by that driver.
11:30, some people have to wear a mask when they have a skin condition, have been to laser treatment and cannot be exposed to sunlight/sunshine, or some other dermatological necessity.... per doctor's orders.
Did the emails of the clips I got go through?
What is your name on your emails ?
@@thelondondashcam it should start harveyj
Black and dark grey Audis are the pick of the crop. Ever thought of moving out into the country? Don't bother, they're here too.
Audis' don't come with hands free?
Not to do with this video but read recently that you can be fined for not indicating even if nobody about, just in case someone might ‘ benefit ‘ ?
I agree with much of what you say, but regarding the cyclist arriving from the right, the size of your car's 'A pillar' and the fact that it obscures your view is hardly someone else's fault. The 'A' pillar on my car is far from ideal, it's just a combination of the driving position and the design. You can get around it by just knowing what it obscures.
I wasn’t blaming anyone it was meant to show how easy it is to miss something especially cyclists if you don’t look around your pillar.
@@thelondondashcam Ah, fair enough mate, one I've got at the moment is awful for visibility, I have to look and look to be completely sure. It's bloody unnerving. Sure there are folk behind me at roundabouts thinking "GO! FFS"
Just can't ignore the risk. Didn't mean to be harsh 👍
3:15 Gatwick Airport was Privatised in 2009. Before that there was no drop-off fee, now it is £5.
We are told that private companies provide better services more efficiently.
I would give the truck at Hampton Court a pass there. If that was a first time delivery it isn't obvious that it might not be possible to get straight through that area. He took it slow, it was safe. The "on the phone Audi" at the Downs however, driving with an arm across the steering wheel is a brilliant way to break your own nose with your own arm if you have a bump :--) That would be just desserts.
You should know by now why people alone in a car wear a mask ! Its to stop the relentless urge to lick the windows 😂🤣😂🤣😳🤣
Here in the US when people were doing deliveries.. Cooked food, or Groceries.. Taxi or Uber too. .. they would be required to wear a mask while things that belonged to someone else were in their car. I could see that a uber driver would just wear the mask when the car was empty so not have to put one on.. BUT That being said... I don't think this was the case with the lane hog on the motorway..
0:47 Roads are for pedestrians too. Rule H2: "Pedestrians may use any part of the road". Roads are shared spaces. Time to start sharing.
Come on !!! And the rule H2 is *SHOULD* not a *MUST* which is very important.
@@johncranna We are talking about a pedestrian who is using the road/roundabout like he is a car. 💁
@@thelondondashcam No, that part of rule H2 backed up by common law at the highway is a pedestrian right of way and has been for centuries.
Why do you care if someone has a mask on in the car 11:25 no hate
Blaming your pillar and a cyclist wearing dark clothes during the day are poor poor excuses. For a professional driver
I wasn’t blaming anyone 💁
@@thelondondashcam it was the dark clothing bit that annoyed me. It is often used as a bad excuse for lack of awareness by the driver.
Given the same scenario and you are driving, how would you describe it?
@Charlie Jackman I would have been slowing earlier if I was planning to check my blind spot, though as earlier stated it was the dark clothing of the cyclist comment that was most irritating. This is a cop out excuse used by many drivers and is used often to just deflect blame from poor awareness.
