The guy in the car park had right of way over you. His entire car was in the roundabout before you got to the give way. You shouldn't have entered the roundabout when the roundabout wasn't clear.
The part of the highway code you must have forgotten about "watch out for all other road users already on the roundabout; be aware they may not be signalling correctly or at all look forward before moving off to make sure traffic in front has moved off. "
@@ashley_neal I'm surprised, you are usually bang on point on these sorts of things. I've worked at a legal expenses firm for the past 12 years who has a contract with the largest driving instructor insurance scheme in the country. I've attended court on 100's of occasions on behalf of driving instructors. I guarantee you that if you would have clipped the rear of that vehicle after you entered the roundabout you would have been held 100% at fault I've attended court on this exact scenario on more than one occasion. You are completely wrong and pinning this chaps comment with a sarcastic (and misconstrued) response doesn't look well on you I must say.
James Taylor no way in the world I would ever have ”clipped” the car so your point is irrelevant. When emerging with other people having priority you should never make them change any speed it direction. The car from the left obviously did this. If anyone were to do the same as the car from the left on their driving test they would most definitely fail. So now reassess your reply and try to understand the initial response given. If I don't correct certain poorly thought out comments, others may take this into a driving test thinking its acceptable. Thanks for adding to this post as it highlights to everyone not just to look at it from one’s own perspective. Ashley
They wouldn't need to follow Ashley, unmarked police cars would see just as many shit drivers, it only seems like Ashley sees crap drivers more often than most is because he's out on the road so much.
Aye, and how often do you see elderly drivers chasing each other in marked up works vans? It must be a first in my book! (Consider the title of the video?) - Hmm.
Idk. It's a two-sided coin. On one hand, at least the BMW driver is making a conscious decsicion and could react to a hazard whereas the elderly person might not even know they are even driving a car.
That last video is probably the result of learning in a diesel car then moving into her own petrol car....all learner cars teaching clutch control should be petrol IMO
5:30 Isn’t it obvious? The van in front was signalling left for a left turn. If there’s one thing you must never, ever do in a white van, it is signal correctly! Obviously this completely unexpected road-sense caught the following van out - hence the aural reprimand with the horn! 😉
Despite the plural in the title, just on elderly driver. I would wager that none of those impatient red light jumpers and dangerous overtakes are elderly.
Why is it that once someone has passed the driving test, they drive like a bloody idiot? Is there a secret bin somewhere in test centres that I don't know of where they can throw their brain away once passed? I think retesting should be introduced but then again, no, because they would drive how they SHOULD to pass and then revert back to driving like a twat.
You have only got to read some of these posts to realise that there are some VERY arrogant and self opinionated law breakers around who whinge and whine about the police picking on them.....just need to read between the lines.......fucking clueless!

6:32 - As someone who has witnessed first hand, that's got to be Alzheimer's. Sorry, but they need their license taking off them, for everyone's safety.
Recently just passed when I drive I always show respect and due car to learners as I remember how nervous I was. I always keep in mind that it could be that persons first time on major roads. If they have a good instructor they will always do the right thing. Eg be in left lane to allow overtaking Not undertaking anyone to keep a safe environment. Also I keep in mind learners are learning the clutch. I approached a learner doing a parallel parking exercise, when I was doing mine people were just barging past me. I have stopped and waited 20 seconds and the learner parked up or in a safe enough space to allow me to pass. Think people forget they were a learner once!
2:32 - I'm seeing numerous comments from people that in situations like this the Vauxhall was already on the roundabout and so it isn't an issue. My belief is to give way to vehicles approaching from the right. No idea where people are getting the other idea from.
Dashcam Leicester While the give way to the right rule is largely used, it is actually not correct. The rule is "give way to vehicles already in the roundabout". However, there would have been no issues if the Astra didn't cut the roundabout. Basically, you should be slowing to a speed suitable enough to allow time for cars already on the roundabout to clear. Cammer in this situation had a suitable speed, and once again would have been fine if it wasn't for the corner cut.
+Onur Obviously, when you are on the roundabout, you only have to look out for other vehicles that are also on the roundabout. We all passed our test hopefully, why do I always seem to need to be giving out information from the highway code that we should all know anyway? If you know somewhere in the UK that you can just 'buy' your license for a few quid, I have a couple of friends coming over from the Caribbean that would quite like to jump in a car and think they can drive…….
Truly shocked at those cars at the beginning driving down the pavement on a red light. Well, red light, green light - doesn't matter! Damned dangerous, and utterly unlawful. Unbelievable
4.18 It's pillocks like this guy overtaking is why it was necessary to introduce 20mph roads and road humps. In the good old days of pre-historic driving nobody would overtake in a housing estate 30mph area. Then a new generation were born.
I’m an elderly dad teaching his teenage daughter to drive. I have used your videos to update my skills and inform the teaching because I have respected your delivery and information given. My respect for you has diminished from what I have seen in this video and the comments. Giving this a title of elderly drivers is a cheap shot and so unnecessary just like some of the aggressive incompetent driving we see on the videos and whilst out driving ourselves.
The little old lady in the Corsa should be reported and put off the road. Not able to use indicators and not knowing where she is going. The stalled driver did well as it is often a hurried reaction to an initial mistake that causes the big crash.
John Dooley I think she was trying to find somewhere, I know when I don’t know what way I’m going my road position is a bit questionable but not that bad
I agree with your point about the silver Micra, but what about all the bell ends on the rest of this vid,and including all the rest of the films posted by Ashley Neal, they go a long way to proving that arrogance and disregard to others safety seems to be the order of the day.
Aww, cut her some slack - it looked like she was trying to find a business on an industrial estate which being a delivery driver myself can be a total pain in the backside. I'm sure many of us have taken a certain position in the road and then changed our minds and hence direction at the last minute. Compared to some drivers I've seen on here and in real life, her actions are nothing!
Never seen it before, but I just knew that micra indicating right, was going to turn left, lol. Years ago, it was safe to assume anyone indicating right was actually going to turn right. That’s no longer the case.
@Ashley Neal - Can I bring something to your attention? Re: FOG LIGHTS I see many people driving with fog lights on in many conditions other than FOG. I recently encountered one who drove past me with their front fogs on and when I turned onto the same road as them, they also had their REAR fogs on. They happened to be going where I was, so when we had both parked up, I informed them that they had got got both FRONT & REAR fogs on. Their reply was 'I KNOW'. I then informed them of the highway code, which stated that visibility has to be 100yds or less. They then said that 'it was raining', which it was, but only a light drizzle. I left them to it, I was totally bemused at their stupidity, if they deem driving conditions like that merit having BOTH front & rear fogs on, they must have VERY poor eyesight. I even phoned 101 to get their take on the use of fog lights and they informed me that, 'If a driver feels they need to drive with their fogs on, they are well within their rights to do so as the highway code is only ADVISORY'. I even informed them of the current weather conditions and they repeated what they had just told me. And, as luck would have it, I came across 2 'PCSO's' and proceeded to question them, which they told me, 'There's a police officer there', he had come to pick them up. I then repeated what I had told the 101 number and he basically said the same. So, my question is, why do we even bother with the highway code as driving in conditions other than in fog causes a danger to other road users as they can dazzle others and possibly cause an accident. Sorry, rant over.
It's why rear fog lights should "self cancel" or "self reset" next time either the ignition is turned off, or the main lights switch is turned off. This would take care of the careless clods who switch on and forget.
If you're a witness to something you can report it this way: www.nextbase.com/en-gb/national-dash-cam-safety-portal/ along with filling out a form etc. Might be other ways of doing it, and probably varies from force to force. It could be used if it's relevant.
If I add my own swear words, am I limited to English? I can swear in English, Latin, Welsh, French and Turkish, plus some Polish and Czech. Which would you prefer?
orange light is a sign that it's going to become red, that's just an indication to me whether i should speed up or slow down. it's not illegal to drive through orange lights.
Not illegal to drive through amber lights? AMBER means ‘Stop’ at the stop line. You may go on only if the AMBER appears after you have crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to pull up might cause an accident
My sons driving instructor told me about a car behind honking many times taking the consentration of the student. The student stept out (very big young man) and took the driving school sign of thr car and smashed it on the window of the car behind and yelled "can you read the sign" repeating it and ending it with a calm take it easy. The driver behind shaked shit scared.
Hocs, Higher order cognitive skills. That's what I use on a daily basis.This is where the driving instructor is not seen as the expert on everything. Every day is a learning experience for me as well as my clients.
Hello Ashley.The point that I am trying to make is as follows.Your video clips are very good as they are informative. The lorries and buses that are jumping red lights have a different purpose of journey and they maybe under time pressures from their employers as I have family working in these driving positions.I ask my clients how they would deal with traffic lights when they are tired,under stress,driving late at night ,peer pressure from fellow passengers and having fellow passengers in the car who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.This is the bigger picture and dealing with the post test environment. This is what is meant by Higher order cognitive skills where a driver self reflects on a near miss and how they would overcome this when driving themselves with no input.
Regarding the last clip with the 'P' driver. How long should new drivers keep the 'P' on their car? I would assume that it would be 3 years as that is the length of time we are given the 'probationary period' where if we obtain 6 or more points we can loose our license!
What does "elderly drivers" have to do with this video? Perhaps the cammer could tell the age of other drivers, but in most of the clips I could only see poor driving skills, not age of driver. One of the drivers, near the end, who started to turn right before changing his mind and going left, demonstrated the type of confusion we often associate with older drivers, but could be attributed also to unfamiliarity with the streets. The only clip where I could see the driver clearly, the final one, the woman driving hardly appeared elderly. Middle age, perhaps. Why call your videos what they apparently are not?
It's called jumping to conclusions,admittedly the driving skills where a bit iffy,but to me it looked like they were out of their area and looking for an address....but hey! I guess all those ''perfect'' drivers out there don't have those sort of 'moments'....NOT!!
I'm glad I'm not alone in asking the same question. It's a cheap shot, it's ageist and biased, and I wonder how elderly people get an HGV licence. Last time I heard (my brother had his HGV class 3) HGV drivers over a certain age were subjected to an annual physical fitness examination, so I was surprised see that obviously elderly driver in the artic, jumping a red light, or the two clearly elderly gents, duking it out in their company vans. Then of course, the elderly youth in the little silver car with the windows blacked out, so obviously elderly, and driving like a brain dead tit en route to his first date, with a promise for that night. . .
In America there is a driving law that no one follows where when you’re making a turn, you turn into the nearest lane. For example, when making a left turn, you would turn into the left most lane. Do you have that in Britain or no?
In Germany we have lanes for turning left, right and for going straight (oftenly) BUT, when you have multiple lanes for left you always take the right most one except for if you are going to turn left again right after that turn
he was guaranteed off roading from the dealer and you are complaining... HE WANTS HIS MONEYS WORTH IN NORTH WEST! If you have complaints against drivers, offer them your business card and say "just in case you need a change" it says more than what an ear full would do
I drive truck with trailer, roundabouts are a nightmare! People will do frightening moves just to get past you, taking the 1st exit from the right lane on a dual is becoming a popular one. plus they don’t realise how long it takes to get a heavy vehicle moving off from a roundabout.
MrStreetboy80 yeah that's one is used on most roundabouts and they turn left from the middle lane(straight on) when i'm in the bus lane going straight ahead at traffic lights, i had a van driver last week take the front of my bus off doing that! then has the audacity to blame me for ramming him even though he had a vaxhaull corsa infront of him which was level with me yet he blamed me 😂
The people in the last two clips should have their licence revoked. And then last clip, how do you pass a test when you're that bad at driving. Make her resit the test. Disgraceful.
you know she may not have passed the test in that specific car right? besides that ive seen worse drivers on the road that supposedly have years and years of experience.
@@Edvard.Munchkin i am aware, my point was that there are worse drivers on the road with years and years of experience, compared to that new driver. sorry for the confusion
Well done to Ashley and all other respectful drivers.✊ Courtesy, manners, safe driving, consideration appear to have vanished from our highways - & even culture some may argue. The political class has allowed the disgrace & criminality on the roads. Police, logically, do not stop crime as the incident has already occurred: All the Police can do is deal with the after effects. And as we observe, the results are mixed.✊
@@ashley_neal it would be a double negative as 'ir' means not and 'less' means without so essentially you're saying not without regard, which would be a long winded way of saying with regard.
Uh, she just passed? Literally EVERYONE stalls after first passing, and if you trying to go on like you never, if you can even drive, then stop lying to yourself. I stalled on a roundabout when I first passed, I put my hazards on and started from the top again, stalled, and did it again until I got going. Big woop, we're human..
@@viennafray5187 Exactly, the issue is when people have driven for several years if not decades yet have such poor car control and awareness is beyond me
I've always wondered why the P pass is not mandatory in mainland UK, as in Northern Ireland a Newly passed Driver has to mandatory display the R (Restricted) sign for 12 months and can't go over 45, or he will have to resit his/her test. this gives the driver time to get used to driving, and seems safer.
Hello Ashley.None of those drivers that you are talking about are actually doing a driving test.There could be multiple reasons why that silver car is going so slowly ,I do not know why that's happening as that's being too judgemental. Driving instructors are far too test focused and not talking about real world driving.
There's no such thing as "real world driving" there's driving obeying the highway code and then there's driving disobeying the highway code. Yes most people pick and choose what bits to follow but obviously a driving instructor must teach driving to the highway code 100% of the time.
@@ashley_neal My point exactly, and I would have thought around south London, hazard perception, anticipation and forward planning would be number one on the drivers survival list.....or do they have a 'different' standard for the driving test there? I think not! lol
Well, I take exception to the title of this video, either that or you have a lot of active and busy elderly drivers, running red lights in articulated lorries, and plying their trade in signed-up business vans. I was surprised to see the granny/grandad in the little silver Peugeot? with blacked out windows. It'll be Hell's grannies next, on Harley Davidsons! I was amazed at the absence of young and middle aged drivers in this video! - Apart from the one who coughed at the roundabout! Okay, so you were there and had first hand sight of "some"of the drivers whose driving you highlighted, but where is the evidence they were all elderly drivers? - Or are you simply ageist and biased? No, I'm not an elderly driver, not yet for a while, but I see no reason to pick on a small segment of society, when in reality, there was only one driver in the video who actually looked like she was an elderly lady. Sorry Ashley, I like your videos, but this one was a cheap shot at older people, and was uncalled for!
There was nothing in this video that is any way derogatory towards older people. Being a good driver is all about being a pessimist and thinking of the worst that could happen. Have you seen my other Driving Fail videos named "The stereotypes" or "So-called professionals"? These videos are also highlighting potential dangers on the road that you need to look out for, by focusing on a specific group of drivers. There are also many others. It is also really interesting of your previous comments on my mobile phone video (th-cam.com/video/Rc-bu7A30UA/w-d-xo.html), you have been quite derogatory towards a specific class of road user. These are your words:- "Cyclists (so called cyclists, whom I differentiate from the few sensible riders) are, in my eyes, the worst offenders of all. Teenage gibbons in the main, who ride with no hands on the handlebars, earplugs blocking out the real world, eyes fixed on the phone, totally oblivious to what's going on around them, and barrelling headlong into a junction, or roundabout without a care in the world, but when they stack it into the side of your motor, it's you who is cautioned and breathalysed, whilst the gibbon gets an ambulance ride to A&E at taxpayers' expense." One thing I have always done and will always continue to do, is always look at myself rather than point the finger. In this instance however I would like to ask you a question. You asked me whether I was simply ageist and biased; My answer is categorically no. What is your answer to your own question? Kind regards Ashley

Have you ever thought of asking the police if one of their unmarked cars could follow you for a few hours. They would have a field day.
Kempy 79 you say that as if the police are interested in getting the dickheads off the roads. they're not.
That's not a bad idea. The unmarked police car could even stay in front and occasionally watch in the rear view mirror what is happening from behind.
perhaps if an unmarked police car had L plates it would be sufficient
Thomas Jackson they’d be interested in fines for the state which would be just as good
They wouldn't need to follow Ashley, unmarked police cars would see just as many shit drivers, it only seems like Ashley sees crap drivers more often than most is because he's out on the road so much.
The two white vans were trying to mate in order to produce more white vans, fortunately they were unsuccessful.
Miles Borman good job they failed! There’s enough of them inbreds on the roads as it is 😂

There's a difference between paying attention to the Highway Code and taking it waaaaay too seriously! 😃
It's why rear fog lights should "self cancel" or "self reset" next time either the ignition is turned off, or the main lights switch is turned off. This would take care of the careless clods who switch on and forget.
that silver micra...
The learner behind that gray mini has the patience of a saint, I'd probably have been honking even during a lesson lol.
Do Police in the UK use dashcam footage to prosecute bad drivers?
If you're a witness to something you can report it this way: www.nextbase.com/en-gb/national-dash-cam-safety-portal/ along with filling out a form etc. Might be other ways of doing it, and probably varies from force to force. It could be used if it's relevant.
short answer is no, no they do not. that is why it all ends up on here.
People just lose their minds on mini roundabouts and forget every rule in the book!
The mini roundabout, he was on it first. So surly it was his road ?
If I add my own swear words, am I limited to English? I can swear in English, Latin, Welsh, French and Turkish, plus some Polish and Czech. Which would you prefer?
orange light is a sign that it's going to become red, that's just an indication to me whether i should speed up or slow down. it's not illegal to drive through orange lights.
orange lights lol Got memes! Amber mate Amber lights
Not illegal to drive through amber lights? AMBER means ‘Stop’ at the stop line. You may go on only if the AMBER appears after you have crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to pull up might cause an accident
Simon Abbott
Red and amber means get ready to go.
Amber means get ready to stop
Red means stop
Green - GO BABY GO!!!
If i stopped on every amber light, i would have to replace the brakes on my car every year.
not sure about UK but atleast in other EU countries orange is the exact same as red (unless you dont have enough distance to stop safely)
What dash cams do use use mate
My sons driving instructor told me about a car behind honking many times taking the consentration of the student. The student stept out (very big young man) and took the driving school sign of thr car and smashed it on the window of the car behind and yelled "can you read the sign" repeating it and ending it with a calm take it easy. The driver behind shaked shit scared.
4:00 I thought no way they're overtaking here but people still manage to surprise me.
Hocs, Higher order cognitive skills. That's what I use on a daily basis.This is where the driving instructor is
not seen as the expert on everything. Every day is a learning experience for me as well as my clients.
KGS Driving School none of your comments lead on from the others. I don’t have a clue what you are going on about overall. Please explain clearly!
Hello Ashley.The point that I am trying to make is as follows.Your video clips are very good as they are informative.
The lorries and buses that are jumping red lights have a different purpose of journey and they maybe under time
pressures from their employers as I have family working in these driving positions.I ask my clients how they would
deal with traffic lights when they are tired,under stress,driving late at night ,peer pressure from fellow passengers
and having fellow passengers in the car who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.This is the bigger picture
and dealing with the post test environment. This is what is meant by Higher order cognitive skills where a driver
self reflects on a near miss and how they would overcome this when driving themselves with no input.
That last clip , beautiful clean fiesta !!
Regarding the last clip with the 'P' driver.
How long should new drivers keep the 'P' on their car?
I would assume that it would be 3 years as that is the length of time we are given the 'probationary period' where if we obtain 6 or more points we can loose our license!
Should? there is no law on it, they are not legally required.
That is a good idea, but I although they are voluntary I used them for a year after passing my test.
I didn’t use them at all, as you tend to get mugged off with them on
I had the P on my car for about 3 months until I went to my car one time and it had gone lol.
What does "elderly drivers" have to do with this video? Perhaps the cammer could tell the age of other drivers, but in most of the clips I could only see poor driving skills, not age of driver. One of the drivers, near the end, who started to turn right before changing his mind and going left, demonstrated the type of confusion we often associate with older drivers, but could be attributed also to unfamiliarity with the streets. The only clip where I could see the driver clearly, the final one, the woman driving hardly appeared elderly. Middle age, perhaps. Why call your videos what they apparently are not?
It's called jumping to conclusions,admittedly the driving skills where a bit iffy,but to me it looked like they were out of their area and looking for an address....but hey! I guess all those ''perfect'' drivers out there don't have those sort of 'moments'....NOT!!
I'm glad I'm not alone in asking the same question. It's a cheap shot, it's ageist and biased, and I wonder how elderly people get an HGV licence. Last time I heard (my brother had his HGV class 3) HGV drivers over a certain age were subjected to an annual physical fitness examination, so I was surprised see that obviously elderly driver in the artic, jumping a red light, or the two clearly elderly gents, duking it out in their company vans. Then of course, the elderly youth in the little silver car with the windows blacked out, so obviously elderly, and driving like a brain dead tit en route to his first date, with a promise for that night. . .
And I thought people just cut ME up, tail gated and pulled out in front of me! It appears to be the norm of today, sadly.
In America there is a driving law that no one follows where when you’re making a turn, you turn into the nearest lane. For example, when making a left turn, you would turn into the left most lane. Do you have that in Britain or no?
Filip Majewski In theory and in law, yes. In practice, not always it seems.
In Germany we have lanes for turning left, right and for going straight (oftenly)
BUT, when you have multiple lanes for left you always take the right most one except for if you are going to turn left again right after that turn
Talk about running the gauntlet! I'm staying away from Liverpool!! 🤔
he was guaranteed off roading from the dealer and you are complaining... HE WANTS HIS MONEYS WORTH IN NORTH WEST!
If you have complaints against drivers, offer them your business card and say "just in case you need a change" it says more than what an ear full would do
Ashley did you do the analysis video?
8:04 - The twat threw you a curveball... LOL!
I think a lot of those drivers driving like Pratt’s need to have points or disqualifications
In fairness, I've got a convertible and light rain, I don't feel it at all :)
if you think that drivers are bad to learners you should drive a bus it's a whole new level of c##tness!
I drive truck with trailer, roundabouts are a nightmare! People will do frightening moves just to get past you, taking the 1st exit from the right lane on a dual is becoming a popular one. plus they don’t realise how long it takes to get a heavy vehicle moving off from a roundabout.
MrStreetboy80 yeah that's one is used on most roundabouts and they turn left from the middle lane(straight on) when i'm in the bus lane going straight ahead at traffic lights, i had a van driver last week take the front of my bus off doing that! then has the audacity to blame me for ramming him even though he had a vaxhaull corsa infront of him which was level with me yet he blamed me 😂
3:12 am I missing something? Why on the floor is there a sign saying turn right?
on roundabouts you have to be in the far right lane if you're taking an exit that goes right.
If the person on the mini roundabout had been on test they would have failed.
The people in the last two clips should have their licence revoked. And then last clip, how do you pass a test when you're that bad at driving. Make her resit the test. Disgraceful.
you know she may not have passed the test in that specific car right? besides that ive seen worse drivers on the road that supposedly have years and years of experience.
@@zorgfleeter if you listen back to it at 8:38 he says NEWLY QUALIFIED DRIVER
@@Edvard.Munchkin i am aware, my point was that there are worse drivers on the road with years and years of experience, compared to that new driver. sorry for the confusion
@@zorgfleeter ah I see. Yes you're right. No problem at all have a good day or night wherever you are 😊
@@Edvard.Munchkin thank you, you aswell :)
1:15 a random policeman walking along sees them speeding..?
Well done to Ashley and all other respectful drivers.✊ Courtesy, manners, safe driving, consideration appear to have vanished from our highways - & even culture some may argue. The political class has allowed the disgrace & criminality on the roads. Police, logically, do not stop crime as the incident has already occurred: All the Police can do is deal with the after effects. And as we observe, the results are mixed.✊
Your dash cam films some REAL idiots, doing some real bad driving , like my dash cam does. I wonder if the police get to view them , on here!
2:35 the car was on the round about before you even got there.
Its raining you blert. 🤣🤣🤣
8:03 lmao
all i can say is i hope you give the movies to PC Plod might give them somit to laugh at
They shouldn't drive if they cant see
6:26 irregardless isn't a word.
Haha. I’ve had this out with one of my lads that doing an English degree. He was surprised when he found out it was a word also. Ask Google!
@@ashley_neal it would be a double negative as 'ir' means not and 'less' means without so essentially you're saying not without regard, which would be a long winded way of saying with regard.
😂 search it 👍
@@ashley_neal I have, that's what it says. It's a non standard, the correct way is regardless. As said irregardless is a double negative.
@@ashley_neal try a TH-cam explanation 😂th-cam.com/video/alaWhMJ51Yw/w-d-xo.html
8:38 "Hats off" for stalling twice in the middle of a roundabout? Dangerous, more like...
Uh, she just passed? Literally EVERYONE stalls after first passing, and if you trying to go on like you never, if you can even drive, then stop lying to yourself. I stalled on a roundabout when I first passed, I put my hazards on and started from the top again, stalled, and did it again until I got going. Big woop, we're human..
@@viennafray5187 Exactly, the issue is when people have driven for several years if not decades yet have such poor car control and awareness is beyond me
I've always wondered why the P pass is not mandatory in mainland UK, as in Northern Ireland a Newly passed Driver has to mandatory display the R (Restricted) sign for 12 months and can't go over 45, or he will have to resit his/her test. this gives the driver time to get used to driving, and seems safer.
Hello Ashley.None of those drivers that you are talking about are actually doing a driving test.There could be multiple reasons why
that silver car is going so slowly ,I do not know why that's happening as that's being too judgemental. Driving instructors are far too
test focused and not talking about real world driving.
Sorry. I don't understand your point in relation to the video? Ashley
There's no such thing as "real world driving" there's driving obeying the highway code and then there's driving disobeying the highway code. Yes most people pick and choose what bits to follow but obviously a driving instructor must teach driving to the highway code 100% of the time.
1:16 why did he get pulled out I couldn't see anything wrong
Speed.
Cretans everywhere
@@Otacatapetl Dead right! And those who cannot spell cretin!
In Crete yes
Remember at mini roundabouts always give way to.....idiots...🤗🤗
Hello Ashley.My point is that I see dozen of these situations around South London every day and none of these have anything
to do with a driving test.
KGS Driving School don’t you teach hazard perception? 😂
@@ashley_neal My point exactly, and I would have thought around south London, hazard perception, anticipation and forward planning would be number one on the drivers survival list.....or do they have a 'different' standard for the driving test there? I think not! lol
@@kenharding8437 In London, hazard perception is driving quickly past people with guns! 😛
14 seconds in and Oh my gosh 😲😳😱
4:20 Shitting Peugeot!
Yep, in such a rush to get to his first shag, but that's it when you're elderly, you never know when the lights are gonna snuff out!
Well, I take exception to the title of this video, either that or you have a lot of active and busy elderly drivers, running red lights in articulated lorries, and plying their trade in signed-up business vans. I was surprised to see the granny/grandad in the little silver Peugeot? with blacked out windows. It'll be Hell's grannies next, on Harley Davidsons! I was amazed at the absence of young and middle aged drivers in this video! - Apart from the one who coughed at the roundabout!
Okay, so you were there and had first hand sight of "some"of the drivers whose driving you highlighted, but where is the evidence they were all elderly drivers? - Or are you simply ageist and biased?
No, I'm not an elderly driver, not yet for a while, but I see no reason to pick on a small segment of society, when in reality, there was only one driver in the video who actually looked like she was an elderly lady.
Sorry Ashley, I like your videos, but this one was a cheap shot at older people, and was uncalled for!
There was nothing in this video that is any way derogatory towards older people. Being a good driver is all about being a pessimist and thinking of the worst that could happen. Have you seen my other Driving Fail videos named "The stereotypes" or "So-called professionals"? These videos are also highlighting potential dangers on the road that you need to look out for, by focusing on a specific group of drivers. There are also many others.
It is also really interesting of your previous comments on my mobile phone video (th-cam.com/video/Rc-bu7A30UA/w-d-xo.html), you have been quite derogatory towards a specific class of road user.
These are your words:-
"Cyclists (so called cyclists, whom I differentiate from the few sensible riders) are, in my eyes, the worst offenders of all. Teenage gibbons in the main, who ride with no hands on the handlebars, earplugs blocking out the real world, eyes fixed on the phone, totally oblivious to what's going on around them, and barrelling headlong into a junction, or roundabout without a care in the world, but when they stack it into the side of your motor, it's you who is cautioned and breathalysed, whilst the gibbon gets an ambulance ride to A&E at taxpayers' expense."
One thing I have always done and will always continue to do, is always look at myself rather than point the finger. In this instance however I would like to ask you a question. You asked me whether I was simply ageist and biased; My answer is categorically no. What is your answer to your own question?
Kind regards
Ashley
Bmw drivers🤦🏼♀️😂
