Is this a record? 17 minute video without a single “Always an Audi”!
As a 2 x Audi driver, I'm glad to see an improvement.
It’s quite shocking!
@@Manu-Official You drive two Audis at once?
Always an Audi, he says. 😅😅😅
I tried listening to Classic FM while I was driving, to see if it would help keep me calm, but I just ended up shouting 'C*nt!' at people in a more operatic style.
4:33 - to be honest I would have just undertaken in that instance.
When you said "Iv'e moved to the dark side" I thought you was going to announce that you had bought an audi !!😂😂
😂😂
I did wonder that myself!
Many thanks for sharing with us Tony. A lot of lawless, clueless motorists, cyclists and pedestrians there!!! Police would have a field day, if they were around!!! Stay safe 👍👍👍
Police are just as arrogant as the the motorists unfortunately
😂😂😂cops are to busy protecting the minorities and the woke mobs.😡
I live in Chiswick, West London, and everyone will tell you how shite it is driving around here. If I go shopping in White City I always use the bus as it’s just so much easier with less stress. I don’t know how you cope with driving around everywhere every day. I would probably end up with a triple bypass! 😂
11:25 Yep ; driving is all about a bit of common sense , a little patience , and little respect for all others
Seeing that Maserati, I would absolutely have no problem undertaking. Seen some driving instructors doing that (with caution) under similar circumstances. Lost count of lane hoggers, done it again just yesterday.
Two wrongs don't ever make a right mate, your just promoting bad driving to others, I don't have an issue personally as I have done the same in the past, but I now discipline myself not to do any illegal manoeuvres - you can send them a message by driving correctly and pulling back in from of them and then moving instantly left into the empty lane where they should be... I also force myself to drive as Tony does which is a bit tough as he is a tad slow, but he is correct in his manner of driving style, if we all drove like this we all be getting to our destinations much more quickly, also I don't understand why drivers do not drive between 56 - 60 mph in the slower lanes to match lorries speed in those lanes negating the need to over take.. but that's just me I guess.
Most of my London driving was in the south too. Far less frequently in west but usually around Teddington, Paddington, Kensington or Willesden Green.
6:22 Austin A40 Somerset, very rare indeed.
Basically nobody there can drive, guess they don’t take driving test by the looks of it, great video
At 15:22 that 'little Fiat 500' is one of the fastest cars on the road. it's an Abarth, and he clearly wanted to show you just how quick it can go !! The standard '500 has a 495cc engine, this one has a 1368cc so it can go like shit off a stick !!
The solution for drivers on their mobile phones is a three months ban. A fine is just loose change for some and they're not bothered about points on their licence!! 🤔
Glad to see you in my delivery area. West London is a nightmare the old bill don't give a shit. Buses try to kill you on a regular basis and don't get me started on cyclists, self entitled audi, merc drivers, and of course mopeds.
I know this is an old video so you might not see the comment, but at 14:35
the green stuff is a traffic calming measure. You don't have to keep it clear, but it visually narrows the road so psychologically causes drivers to slow down.
Alternative title: Wankers in cars
Just noticed in first
Ah lovely London I never ever came back the same way from Kentish town every time U need to turn right is a no right turn . And getting to Richmond on match days . The golden rule if u wanted to go west u had to be going down Marylebone road by 3.30 at the latest or it would take forever to go . Also the wonders of the north and south circulars where I once saw a mini use the zebra crossing by the m4 flyover , they were wonderful days
How many complaints are you going to get from people about what you did at 5:26? You did the correct thing, waited for it to clear but more importantly you communicated and spoke to the other driver. That is key to doing things like this, communication. The only other opportunity you would have is to turn left and then turn around somewhere or turn right at the lights and again, turn round somewhere. Sometimes it needs to be done that way but when an opportunity like this arises...nice
Nice to see that red Audi slow down and pass the slow lane hog slowly and carefully on the motorway. Makes a change from blasting through at Mach-2 😄
And on a the subject, I think in that instance, as long as you were slow and careful you would have been fine to move left and pass the vehicle. It starts to become a problem when you are weaving through traffic, or like the van moving two lanes to do the manoeuvre that it becomes an issue. Not 100% sure on your following distance there...think it got below the recommended 2 second gap but can understand why. Good that the van could see what was happening and I am seeing more drivers being helpful like that if you give them an early enough sign that you want to move 👍
0:55. A 1947 Ford Willy`s Jeep, dressed to look like a War-time American Army issue. 6:22 A very nice 1954 Austin A40.
13:24, these people think they are in their country, not in England. And "there", all traffic goes through each other.
I've seen those videos - insanity!!!
I call motorcycles who ride like that, organ donors.
I would have undertaken the Maseratti, it was safe
Until the moment they realise they need the next exit at the last second...
I would have done the same thing. There was a hard shoulder to bolt into if the dick with all the gear but no idea decided to actually to change to lane 1.
Same.
On the horn as well, to let him know what a POS he is driving like!
Never safe to undertake which is why it is illegal. It is a section 3ZA2 offence and you can be prosecuted as such. Why risk it?
We used to be taught.
The green is go if the junction is clear.
If theres a vehicle on there the junction isnt clear.
Lil tip - include a short video of your merch store at the end to incentivise people to go click and look around.😉👍
There was an Aston Martin in the outside of the lorry.
that auld Jeep, is WW2 vintage, used in many great numbers by all Allied Services, including the USSR through Lend Lease, they did everything from towing artillery to hauling Ammo, troop transport, light gun truck, wounded transport, a true work horse of the war
I'm a Coach Driver from the North who loves driving round London. It's so much fun....
Except Swiss Cottage. I'd love to see a vid of you round there. Plenty of packets of wet shit needed.
There are places in London I try to avoid and Swiss Cottage is on the list 😁
No way! Youre in my neck of te wood's in West London
You're spot on. A different breed of driver. HORRIFIC
A traditional begger in White City.......😅
No such begger here in the NL🇳🇱
By not using The Driving Lane at 3:00 That makes you and all the rest that's not using The Driving Lane, into lane hoggers. The only thing the van was doing wrong was driving over the limit.
There is no such thing as a driving lane, and it's a recommendation in the highway code not to undertake you can be prosecuted for doing it, so the van is doing a lot wrong and I can't overtake correctly without being in lane 2 to get into lane 3 now can i.
Spent 20 years thinking I’m a fairly average driver.. watching this, turns out I’m pretty good
love it when you're cruising down a motorway in the left hand lane and you have to jump all the way to the right just to overtake some idiot doing 50 in the middle lane that shouldn't be on the road
It's all about common sense and patience. As they say: don't moan about the traffic if you're part of the traffic. People just do not want to wait - and they get away with it because nothing is going to happen. Further - and I've said it before - too many foreign drivers who bring their foreign car-driving-habits with them to this country.
Thanks London Dash Cam 🚕👍
The blocking of junctions I often see happening off Westminster Bridge, parliament on the left-hand side, and mainly buses. Though some time since I been around that area, so may have changed.
You should not have based your driving off the Massarotti. You should have moved over to the left asap and just driven past it in that lane. I contacted the police recently over something similar and they said it was safe and lawful to stay in the far left lane and should not move over 2 lanes to overtake a slow moving vehicle in the middle lane. I was surprised with this answer but happy that was their advice.
Slow moving means queueing traffic, not 50 mph. Have a read of the Highway Code
The rule is a should not it isn't a must not. Generally it's regarded as passing if you are already in lane 1, if you swerve across into lane 1 go past and swerve back into lane 2 then it's undertaking.
@@ditch3827 The Highway Code says nothing about undertaking even at the maximum speed being illegal. Maybe it's you who should be reading and understanding what certain words mean.
The rule on undertaking being an offence has been removed from the statute books way back in 1972.
I could never do your job Tony. I have come to hate driving over the last few years and if it wasn't for the fact I live in the sticks with no regular bus/taxi service I would get rid of my car altogether. When I was a kid first driving back in the late 1980's we were scared to death of being pulled over and getting a ticket but nowadays nobody seems to care because the police aren't policing anymore. You're more likely to be arrested for saying something, on Twitter, that hurts a persons feelings than you are to be pulled for stupid dangerous driving.. Shame really!!
As soon as I saw the Maserati in lane 2 weaving in the lane I said to myself "They're on the phone", and guess what..... They were on the phone, which goes to prove just how dangerous it is to use your phone while driving on the bloody motorway surrounded by traffic.
You seemed a lot calmer; was it the classical music ??
One thing that made me wince; was as you slowly went past that large curtain sided lorry on the motorway.
I have seen a few no warning pull-outs by similar and larger HGVs, so I do NOT linger alongside; even if it means a quick squirt to 10 mph above the speed limit - or giving them an entire lane of gap if that isnt possible.
I pulled a couple of teenage girls out of a wreck on the motorway, after they did what you were doing; the HGV suddenly pulled out; hit their rear quarter, and spun them around across the nose of the lorry.
Victor Meldrew incarnate.
You're not the first to say that 😁
For those of us who are yokels... there's only 'Lundun', not south or west, etc... 😂
You're right, us yokels call it Lundun and it's all one place🤣🤣
Nice to see you in a different part of London, I don't know it myself, but they are mad drivers. I know Camberwell very well, ever been down that way, Tony?
Yes I used to have to drive through Camberwell to get back home once a week a few years back, very busy all day long and always seem to have roadworks on every route I took.
3rd service , order a pizza, and the police, you can eat the pizza while waiting for the police.
2:35 and the music so very quiet ; thank you . For people with bad hearing [smashed in my case] ; music can be a massive problem . Many TV docos are not watchable because of music and blood sound effects
@ 6:22 That is an Austin A40 - looks close to original spec on a basic trim but the colour is new. hmmm. maybe tell people their brain is an app, they might use it then
Loads of room to get out at 4:29......
Lane 3 is the new lane 2 on a 4 lane motorway so the Maserati wasn't really that bad.
13:46 The pedestrians are permitted to walk on the carriageway as per rule H2 "Pedestrians may use any part of the road" so of course the bus has to wait for them as he has to give them 2m clearance.
Again just because you're permitted doesn't mean you should especially if there is another safer route for them.
@@thelondondashcam They have the choice. Why should pedestrians take the longer route when the shorter route is available to them. Stop complaining about people simply going about their lawful business.
Why should they ? Really!!!!!
Maybe for their own safety as the footpath is closed 🙄
9:40 is something that has always annoyed me ... and I'm not even a driver.
Why do people _INSIST_ on going, when their light is green, when it's CLEAR that the traffic right after the junction that they're going into, is stationary?
There should be a rule that you should _ONLY_ proceed through any junction (and this INCLUDES simple T-junctions in rural locations), if you can completely the clear the way for any side roads or other roads from other directions without having to stop.
On a mostly unrelated note, but still related to traffic light controlled junctions....
Has anyone ever noticed this?
You have a 4-way junction. It's one of those junctions where you have right-turn traffic lights that are on a separate sequence to the straight-on and left traffic lights. Why is it, that when the right- turn traffic lights go green, people in the straight-ahead/left traffic lights, who have been waiting at red lights for a few seconds, not moving, always do that weird crawl forward? It's not a "oh there's a green light... oh wait, that's not my light" start to go and then stop. It's a very slow creep forward thing. They aren't even at the front of the queue. They'll stop behind a car, but when the left turn traffic starts to go on their green light, you'll have a random driver just randomly slowly drive a few millimetres forward. Why?
Around 3mins you said you cannot overtake because of traffic on your right. There was half a century between the LGV and the silver van. Again from the silver to the white van there was slightly more. Would you need more than that distance entering from the sliproad? Or what about entering onto a roundabout?
You are good at noticeing things around you. How did you not notice at 3.05 yourself lane hogging? Do you hold a special license where you're exempt from doing so?
You do realise I'm trying to go into the right hand lane to overtake correctly 🤔🤷
@@thelondondashcam The Highway Code gives you advise on what may be best practice. It doesn't say you must only overtake on the right. A police officer would never tell you to move from lane 1 to 2 to 3 and lane 4 then back to 1 especially on fast moving traffic. If those in lanes 1,2 and 3 was to take your advise of going to lane 4 to pass a slow hogger in lane 3 that is forming a bottle neck.
Hi, i need a new dashcam, do you use the viofo pro 4k version?
Don't buy one yet I'm doing a dashcam video shortly that will give you some good discount codes.
A Miseraty
4:03 .."people who cannot drive very well" say the guy sat behind a Maserati going 50mph . I would have done the same as the Van ...life is too short for arsing about behind a prat in a probably borrowed/hired Mazzy
Do you not listen to the commentary or even me live I'm trying to overtake the correct way which is on the right hand side and I can't get out I'm not lane hogging I'm just stuck there because I can't move out
ahh .. right I came into that video late without sound .. ok I understand now having watched it again ... but I still would have undertook that prat in the mazzy ... @@thelondondashcam
If I was in lane 1 i probably would have too, but because I was behind him I should be overtaking him rather than undertaking him.
Around 4.27 you had plenty of time to move out to lane 3.
They are a lot closer than the camera shows and they are going faster than the camera shows it too.
@@thelondondashcam You don't judge a distance by what you can see.. Count the distance in time between the back of the truck and the front of the van. I've counted it and it was a fraction of a second under 9 seconds.
If you haven't got the confidence to move into that gap then you have a lack of confidence of driving. You should have stayed in lane 1.
I believe the green stuff on the road indicated the cycle lane, but it seems to have narrowed the road to the point where you have to drive on the cycle lane to proceed. If so does that mean that you can drive on any cycle lanes, where's the indication as to which you can and which you can't?
It looked to me like it was around driveways...red to keep clear of parked vehicles or a zigzag. That green was very strange.
So why not all the way down the road, and why the pattern?
I think this is part of the advisory cycle lane (broken line) on Wandsworth Bridge Road in Fulham. The green paint appeared earlier this year and it's there to discourage you from overtaking cyclists as you pass through the narrowing in the road caused by the traffic island.
@@JB_Stitch my issue with this set-up is that due to narrow road motor vehicles are forced to run in the cycle lane. If they are forced to drive in the cycle lane here, why shouldn't they drive in the cycle lane everywhere else.
I want to see sustainable travel, here in NZ we encourage cycling, e-bikes, and e-scooters, with large sums of money being spent on cycle infrastructure. However when I see local authorities create infrastructure in this manner that appears to put road users at increased risk, both from injury and being penalised by the police, it seems counter-productive.
traditional English BEGGER
I know you hate Fiat 500's but the vehicle you saw was an Abarth 500.
It looks more like a 595 as it is a series 4, but definitly an Abarth. Very different form a Fiat 500
A Maserati doing 48 in a 70 zone, what a waste of a wonderful car! Driving in the left lane - privileged people don't do that! And the "Fiat" 500 at 15:25 is actually an Abarth 595 with 145 HP I've got one, it's great, but it's not a Fiat officially.
London is becoming a India haha
I know this is 'picky' but logbook says bicycle on it, not motorcycle.
Do they find their licenses in Woollies?
I'm wondering why the policemen in the police car weren't noticing the pedestrians not using the other side of the pavement cause it's technically jaywalking is jaywalking illegal in the UK?
Jaywalking isn't a thing in the UK if we hit a pedestrian in this scenario we would be the ones in the s**t
That's another thing that your politicians haven't thought about Jaywalking when pedestrians don't use the footpath and walk in the road in some countries its illegal
U S, but not in the U.K. Parliament will have it that if we hit someone doing what they do, we are to blame, strict liability.
@@thelondondashcam Correct, and what is even worse is that people jut do not care, as though given up on life, the walking dead of organ donor's brigade.
First cyclist probably did check behind him. Clear road shows he had a couple of seconds to get in road safely before LTD rounds the bend.
Did not show it, and it is normal for modern day cyclists to do what he did, and I wonder what is going on when I see them, even pedestrians just walk across a controlled crossing. Organ donors
@dougaldouglas8842 no, just an assumption from our poorly educated youtuber. Ever wondered why he refuses to show his speed on the dashcam. London's finest hypocrite
@@wonkyboy From the footage the cyclist did not turn his head. Now, I have come across this, time and time again, and wonder if the person doing this does not understand that a car could be behind them. It is strange to see cyclists do this, very strange.
@dougaldouglas8842 you're missing the point. If the cyclist had checked just before the forage starts the cyclist would have seen an empty road and known that he had a couple of safe seconds at least. Anticipation, read the road. LTD made an assumption to fuel his channel.
@@wonkyboy If he had checked, that is the point. He clearly did not check. Now I used to ride and I always checked, twice and three times when entering a main road, just to make certain that all was clear. That is what is known as being responsible.
When crossing a road I keep looking left to right because you cannot trust having what is an empty road.
The other day a couple of ladies only looked left, when crossing, and I had to grab them, and pull them back as a van toward down on them, from the right, the van driver driving on the wrong side of the road. Had I not been there Lord knows what would have happened.
I saved some school children from being killed, yes, killed, as they crossed the road, crossed on green, but failed to look to the left. I put my arms out. A bastard on a mobile phone was looking down, gone through red at speed, and I mean speed.
I’m from West London & my driving’s fine… the cyclists around here are literally the worst though
most drivers these days, drive like you stole it
can we have more guess the idiots please
I'll see what I can do
I second this they are really fun in your videos! Especially the names for the possible idiots 😂
I third it 🙋🏼♀️
Can we include the cammer for lane hogging and not using the inside lane that's empty except for one vehicle that caused no obstruction.
White city is the BBC TEe;iviosm centre or was so expect Animal Driving from them.
So while you wait behind the stop line at a roundabout a motorcycle can just squeeze by and stop in front of you who were already stopped for the light? No way that is legal but you said nothing.
So glad I left London 30 yrs ago…..driving was bad then but now !!!!!
Deaths on UK roads was higher 30 yrs ago than today..
There is a b road going into the town very busy bikes often ride on the center line so you can't pass them by 1.5 mts even on coming traffic doesn't have 1.5 mts clearance a long straight road with traffic held up by selfish bikers with 1.5 mm brains
If you look at Ashley Neil's videos, just to let you know he will never delete your comments even when you prove he's wrong. Unlike someone who I am not going to mention..
You're going to have to elaborate on that.
Because the only thing that I delete off the comments are the trolls, you know the people that just go around insulting everybody that's on the comment section, so they get deleted by me other than that I don't delete anything TH-cam occasionally deletes things if they are offensive, so tell me what I have supposedly deleted.
the cycle box is for pedal AND motorcycles you i d i o t .......
Tell me where it says that
@@thelondondashcam I have never read that. Cycles in cycle box, yes, but not motorcycles.
YT's enforcing a no ad-block policy so I've unsubscribed from your channel.
Not a lot I can do about that, it is free all you have to do is watch some ads. I would prefer to watch ads than pay.
i Thought the skill level of driving in Sunderland was poor but its quite simply fucking appalling down in London, i think i would just buy an old taxi and batter my way to where i wanted to go, you have the patience of Jobe.
I wish I had a dash cam, I was so close to a massive crash. I was on A2 going to london at 6am, at the junction with M25, 4 lane motorway with 2 more lanes as slip road off to M25. I was driving at 60 in 3rd lane trying to avoid the mess in first 2 lanes where people try to get on M25, some absolute dickhead overtook me in 4th lane, cut me off making me brake hard, he dove from 4th lane all the way into the sliproad at over 70 mph where cars were queing up and completely stopped. The prick pile-drived into the back of the cars, pushing them around like bowling pins, I dodged the debris and cars and got away untouched
Do it, buy one - my dashcam paid for itself many times over. Previous car written off while parked, 7.5t van driver saying to my face he would have no problem telling fairy stories to the insurance, and tried to leave without leaving details. So I told him to go ahead and try, but I never told him he was caught on dashcam, so he got done extra for fraud attempt.
Woman reversing into my car on purpose, driving one of those Citroen cactus with rubber everywhere so she did not care to use my car as a stopping point, left me just one inch to get out of the space. When confronted with the clip of just the impact itself, she even denied it was her driving. But I did not show her the full video. Insurance just called me recently, she got done for fraud, hit and run, and not wearing a seat belt. She got priced out of insurance and now on the Police/DVLA's books.
Insurance gave me the red carpet treatment on both occasions, told me that's what they call a ''slam dunk'' case, and I received some compensation for my troubles, courtesy vehicles etc.
Bonus story: woman damaged my wipers front and back one day because I dared park in front of her house. When confronted, she said ''I'm sick of tired of people like you parking in my space [her space ?], when you could go park anywhere else in the world, now F off'' - front and back HD video sent to the police, she got done for criminal damage.
@@Manu-Official holy shit, sounds like I really need a day's cam! When I used to live in London one of my neighbours was a Karen who always bit he'd about people parking opposite of her driveway because she needed extra space to park her suv which she couldn't drive to save her life. Guess what the council did when they painted yellow lines and parking areas - they designated parking area right opposite of her driveway
5:14 open reach connecting you to your network. How about connecting with the few brain cells left in the van drivers head? Oh I forgot it’s a white van man with the company name all over the van. Monkey see monkey does apparently. Have a good one stay safe and awesome.
@@dwayner901 indeed they do
