This video is so relaxing, watching people just thoughtfully and considerately going about their business with Ashley’s calming commentary is the perfect antidote to all the other shouty, road rage filled content. I’m off for a nap now 😂
9:10 special mention for the van driver behind who let the pedestrian continue crossing from the island! Nice driving.
Chance are those ducks never made it, but I like to think they did
Yeah the speed the white car caught and passed makes me think there was casualties, hopefully peoples eyes could see better than th camera as the ducks were hard to spot in time.
🙁
Where was this?
@@robinhosleftfoot On the M56 heading towards Manchester in UK.

It's great to see some GOOD driving for a change. If only more people took these approaches there would be less stress, less collisions and lower insurance ;)
9:13 the guy in the van sees your acts of kindness and decides to let the pedestrian cross the road, pretty wholesome
1:05 extra credit to the pupil for maintaining calm when the van driver behind was being a terrible sport.
That 1:1 zipper merge put a smile on my face. The real beauty is a 2:1 or 3:2 merge; you'll feel it when you see it.
Lovely. Another option for the cyclist at 11:10 would be to have taken primary position. There was plenty of space to allow traffic to come by and they'd have been more visible to both traffic behind and to people in side roads.
12:41 Thank you! This manouvre is so greatly appreciated by truck and bus drivers.
I love watching Nice Driving clips, it's always Dashcams with close calls or crashes on youtube, don't see enough of this!
Wish I could contribute but I don't have a dashcam..
Definitely recommend getting a dashcam - they've come down a fair bit in price and the cost of not having one if you're in an accident could be much much higher.
As an ambassador of the duck community, I would like to inform you that the duck and ducklings made it to the other side safely. We are requesting that the council put a Duck Crossing Point there so they can be safe. Quack
Those ducks!! Oh my god what is their mother doing! I got a really bad feeling not all of them made it..
13:50 Driving in Australia, it was drummed into us: never swerve to avoid wildlife. Brake firmly in a straight line and if you hit the wallaby you hit the wallaby. Too many people got themselves / their passengers wrapped around trees trying to steer around wildlife at speeds over 50mph.
You can tell these drivers are focused on just driving. No distractions and they really care about what's going on around them.
Good driving philosophy - collaboration.
All road users should think they're collaborating to maximise overall safety and then flow of traffic on the roads. Lovely to see clips of people doing this
Ashley I think this is the first video I've watched of yours and I have to say that If you are teaching folks this type of observational driving then we can look forward to much safer drivers on our roads. I was extremely impressed with your comments on keeping the traffic flowing which unfortunately in this day and age of the selfish MGIF driver is sadly lacking. All credit to you Sir and I feel I must subscribe to support your channel in your efforts to improve road safety. Thank you. With kind regards from an older driver and IAM member.
I think the final clip is a fine scenario that demonstrates the importance of constantly making sure you have an awareness of your surroundings and what options you have available to you (empty lanes to avoid, clearance behind for an emergency stop etc) when you need to react to something, even if the roads are quiet.
That little emergency defender was adorable. I want one!
11:40 No only stopping to help the services, but also stopping in a position that prevents others from passing on the left, so securing the road fully for them to manoeuvre. Nicely done.
12:34, Another option would have been to abandon the right turn and consider a left turn instead, especially if you had other drivers behind. You 'borrow' the space in front of the lorry and creep very slowly to the left lane in the new road. Move on once you're happy and find a safe place to do a U-turn. Now you're out of the junction and the lorry driver can go on his happy way.
This is what I would've done, that said sometimes I do take detours when it makes my driving easier.
I often see good bits of driving on the roads, believe it or not. It’s nice to know they are not all bad drivers out there
So refreshing to watch yet another brilliant episode of NICE driving!! Loving the contributions, narrative and the consideration everyone gave other people! Looking forward to the next one!! 👍🏼
The Elon encouragement made me chuckle. It's also nice to see a clip from a country where I live, the Czech Republic. We are like a second Russia with road rage clips here. :D
5:19 - Highways engineer here who is well used to coming out of TM etc... The Advice we have always been given is.
1. Only move with direction of travel - if it is safe to get out in front of the queue do so, if not wait till the queue passes and join at the end.
2. Always come out on your hazards especially at night.
I noticed how, after you let that van out, HE in turn slowed down, or even stopped, to let a pedestrian cross. Classic (& infectious?) "paying it on" behaviour! Kudos to all involved!
Thanks for using my clip at 6:30 Ashley. Keep up the great content 👏
Thank you too!
The Tesla cameras aren't meant for human consumption... They're there for the autopilot system. The colour is crap because they filter the light so that it gets a much more even distribution of the colours at a digital level, making it easier for the computer to see things.
I guess they could artificially "correct" the colours when exporting, but there's no real need. If you're exporting dashcam footage, it's just to show what happened, not to make a feature length film to play at the biggest chain cinemas in the world.
Edit: I only learnt this Tesla stuff on the weekend from another dashcam video posted online that looked like a 70's home film.
Correct. The footage is very detailed but it is almost like a Gopro set to pro where the colours are washed out.
It has to see in all conditions
😀 70’s home film. That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Tbh I was less impressed with the van using the lane for Wimborne to undertake the traffic heading to Poole. Bloody rude!
Nice to actually see some good driving instead of all the negative stuff. Great content!
7:10 Reeaallyy just made me have a satisfying feeling, damn...
Watching all these nice driving videos before my test tomorrow!
The point about 'eye contact'. I never realized I did it, until I was giving a course and was asking the attendants what to look for when there is a vehicle trying to emerge from the left.
Just discovered your videos and they are really informative. Given me some insights into hazard perception and I've learnt a lot about my own driving habits from watching them. Thank you for sharing!
@8:45 I was in standstill traffic (a lorry had Jack knifed in the snow on the approach to the roundabout, blocking the road. Everyone was fine) and eventually the police turned up from behind so everyone moved to the sides and some random car had followed the police car down the centre pathway we'd made to skip the queue. Just had to laugh
"The only thing I'm not that impressed with is the resoultion of the footage. Come on Elon, raise your level" 😂
I think all dashcam footage from the UK should be in this style. It reminds me of old BBC skit shows.
Am I right in thinking that the Tesla cameras see into the infra-red (no IR filter), which would explain the peculiar colour cast on daytime imagery?
I regularly drive down a road on the outskirts of my city that is full of very large houses, each with a private drive. It is also a main route into my city, and therefore quite busy at certain times of the day. If I am queuing I always keep the driveways clear, even though I get beeped at to move on. It is not too often that another vehicle coming out of town wishes to turn into the drive that I have left clear, but it does happen. Had I not left the gap then every other car coming behind the turning car could go nowhere. I have seen both lanes unable to move due to stupid thoughtless driving. It is SO easy to think about other peoples needs, and keep the traffic flowing.
Better to be a day late than never to arrive.... not sure how I failed to view this before 🤔.
Great clips and memorable quotes there. People could learn so much; if only they choose to do so.
Your reverse at the junction to allow the LGV access - great manoeuvre. I assume that you could see how the traffic was backing up (nearside of the lorry) and acted accordingly. Not many would actually do this.
As for the 🦆🐤🐤 - quackers lol.
Stay safe everyone 👍.
Blame Ashley! keeps swapping upload day's and times around lol. 🙃
@@Jonc25 Not stressing it. Gotta go out...... try for haircut before going in to lockdown again 😿
The zippered T-junction at 7:06 is something I used to see much more up north than down here in Dorset. Letting people out at junctions when there is no reason not to is common enough here (sometimes) but co-operating like that clip is rare as hen's teeth.
Funny enough this clip is wakefield. 👍
you know you've binged this channel too much when you can immediately recognise Tesla dashcam footage from the sepia tone and 4:3 aspect ratio
The van behind you at 9.13.....top driving. Nice bunch of clips.
Well presented. Nice to see examples of Good road use.
Re the reverse back from the Lancs Road, as a trucker, I knew why when you asked, thank you for your consideration.
That's driving like it used to be, when I first started. Nice to see that there are still road users with foresight, planning and cooperation with others. Driving can be a thoroughly pleasurable activity regardless of its purpose, and I'll bet everyone of these contributors had enjoyable journeys, perhaps not all the way, but in the main.
At 9:38 onwards, A63 at Barnhill Junction near Howden, East Yorkshire, this road is popular with cyclists, and it has a lot bends in rapid succession. You get a lot of impatient van drivers making this van's manoeuvre every day, and honestly, you can't really go much faster than a pushbike anyway, unless you want to come of the road on one of those bends. I captured a similar clip (One van, one cyclist) on the A163, just a few miles away.
What great insite you have. I am a 55 yr old male returning to motorcycling after a 20 year abscence.Your videos are my evening must see as they offer smart common sense advice, and road curtisey. Which is so often missing. It's wisdom you probably can teach but some people need help to put it into practice,thank you.
10:50 eyy i recognize those tones. That The Killers with the song "My own soul's warning" great band and great song
Awesome my temp traffic light clip made it. I didn't realize the BMW had flashed till I watched the video when I was sending you it
Thanks for sending in!
12:08, situation with the lorry coming from the right: basically cammer has two options there, to go on to cross the road or to reverse. reversing for sure was the safer one, cause going on with a lorry in the left lane to your right, it makes it very hard to see if there are any cars coming in the other lanes. and with this heavy traffic, it's very likely that someone is trying to push past the lorry, even if it is blocking several lanes. so good decision and apparently very much appreciated from the lorry driver.
I always like these nice driving compilations, as they show how road behavior should be. big thanks for uploading them!
Those ducks should have worn high visibility Jackets to cross the motorway 😂🤣
Lol, however just to be clear, especially for cyclists and motorcyclists the choice of clothing is ocasionaly not understood .The day time choice must be dayglo but only reflective materials in the dark.That said bright colours rule.
@@richardallan455 Interesting.
Are cyclists allowed to cycle on motorways????? !!!!!!
@@na-up6gs No definately not, come on everyone knows that!
@@richardallan455sorry for being so naive 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
5:53 In this situation I would have changed lanes to the outermost right lane for a few reasons. Normally when I approach on ramps on the motorway, I move one lane out at about 1/3 mile before the onramp begins. That way I don't have to worry about cars merging onto the road, and I remove myself from peoples potential blind spots. As Ashley was already sitting in the middle lane, it normally would be fine. However, as he was approaching the blindspot of the AA flatbed just before the onramp began, and because it was raining, dropping visibility. I wouldn't take the chance that the flatbed wouldn't suddenly change lanes instead of slowing down, which they ended up doing.
You will notice the flatbeds lurched forward due to hitting their brakes to slow down. This might be because they only realised the onramp was coming due to poor planning ahead and now a car was looking to merge. It might have also slowed because he saw Ashley and had no room to change lane and had to suddenly brake as their only remaining option. As Ashley says, plan ahead to give yourself options, but also plan ahead to give others options as well. So I think if Ashley had changed to the outer lane, the flatbed could have moved to the middle lane. Just a thought
You are right about when emergency services come by, and others overtake the ones letting the flasher (it's what my wife calls them) by, the others that annoy me are the ones that stop to let the flashers by when there's no need.
We was on a 60mph road near us, it's pretty wide, only a single lane each way but could easily fit a lane in the middle, an Ambulance was coming towards us, everyone on both sides went to the edge of the road but didn't slow down, this was fine as it just sailed through, except one guy infront of us decided to slam on his brakes to let them through, so me and the queue of traffic behind had to brake hard aswell, plenty of beeping going on from a few of us it was so dangerous, I think I remember you touched on this problem a while back, it makes you mad sometimes at the lack of common sense being used on the road, and where do they learn this behavior, do they see someone else do it and think that's how it's done.
just looking at the temp road works at the jet garage, over the years driving in this situation i have for the most part found that wanting to join that road from the far left or similar, its always best to wait as the waiting traffic are VERY likely to let you know when its safe to carefully proceed ahead of them, but be sure they got it right and watch for bikes/cycles .
The videos are ok, but what makes it different is your comments about the situation. I have learned so much from your videos and have since become amuch calmer driver and in some cases, too calm hahah
5:10 this is my hometown Norton - Stockton on Tees haha its weird seeing it on here, puts the NE on the map hahaha love it
Usually when I am a pedestrian coming up to a zebra crossing I look for how many cars there is on both sides, if there is only one I slow my walking pace and maybe even give a sign that the driver can go ahead, this makes the drivers lives easier because they don't have to stop and go.
I know it ain't much but it's honest work
(This is in refference to the statement at 1:00 "keep the traffic flowing")
as you mentioned about the Lorry, there's a area near myself that has a bus route, a double decker taking a hair pin corner is difficult and theres railings i can see through, i always hold back at the junction to allow them to navigate the corner correctly as it is a much busier road than that i am emerging from. sometimes i think these videos help me learn more. ( i am a provisional license holder )
You mean, we shouldnt spot a vehicle emerging badly from a junction and then speed up so we can jam on the breaks at the last minute, sound the horn 30 times whilst yelling profanities so we can upload a clip to youtube?
Or overtake on roundabouts and yell at the driver going straight on who we now cut up to get off at our exit?
Or notice cars emerging from a slip road or lane merge and so accelerate to keep them boxed in?
... Wow, who'd have thought it!? Nice to see some clips of people handling situations in a better frame of mind!
Who'd have thought, ugh? 😁
Hahahaha, them UK Dashcam (or whatever the channel was called) videos...
I must admit when I first passed I wouldn't react soon enough to some people who would emerge poorly but by no means would I speed up and blast my horn like some of those other channels but watching Ashley has helped me improve with some aspects, evidenced by my good driving clip with the temp lights
Most annoying thing on the motorway is the middle lane pilots who suddenly accelerate like there's no tomorrow when you try and dare to overtake them, even though they have been doing 60mph before that...
I love these videos, they deserve infinitely more views. You're like the driving instructor version of Bob Ross or Mr Rogers.
It's nice to see traffic flowing well.
If it was like that all the time, there'd be less road rage.
12:08, I had a feeling that was going to happen. I often get stuck trying to turn into a narrow road where I have to use part of the road that oncoming traffic is using. The number of people who ignore my needs and charge up to the give way line is maddening.
I've rarely seen someone reverse in anticipation of my need for extra room without having to begin the turn and get so close to them that they realise they have to move.
The drain cover grille at 4:20 has the bars running in an unfavourable way for the recumbent bicycle. Some local authorities used to have grilles with only a few bars which were not straight and if you put a wheel on them you would immediately get thrown off.
Agreed. I'm always cautious of grilles like that when riding. I'll avoid those kinds of things as much as possible. Here in Australia cattle grids can be just as dangerous if they're not approached from the correct angle.
Well spotted. It is not obvious in the video but I rode just around it to the left. But this is one of the reasons I put relatively wide tires on my bike and I have been forced to test that if necessary I can ride over this even when it is wet and cold. The bike might shimmy a bit but it does not feel overly dangerous with this particular type of gril. Nowhere near something like tram rails under shallow angle, those are lethal :-).
“I do hope the ducks got home safely”
*CAR APPEARS IN LANE 2* 💀
Your voice is so relaxing and calm to listen to and your vids are brilliantly informative. I like these sorts of videos rather than dash cam idiots or road rage ones. I wish more people would be more courteous on the road...
Excellent video
I always tell my wife "predict, plan and act decisively" instead of just "reacting". Example, there is a middle lane hogger driving slowly. Identify him from far and predict that he isnt moving. Plan to overtake and see if its safe with enough time so its all easy, then overtake decisively. Instead of closing in, slowing down and then smashing the gas and trying to panic overtake him. Same thing with a lane being blocked, identify the problem, predict that a car will need to move over, plan to either slow down, accelerate or overtake, choose ONE and then do it decisively. Sometimes doing the wrong thing decisively prevents more problems than trying to do the correct thing but not being sure of it: like when people move over just a quarter of the lane then brake because they arent sure if they should move over
at 11:20 as a cyclist, I'd have checked for following vehicles and moved out to primary position there; easier to be seen and easier to react if necessary.
The ducks were a good a spot really hope they made it!
Wow that last one!
A comment on the clip at 12:29. If there were cars behind you, and it was difficult to reverse, it would actually be possible for you to drive forward across two of the 3 lanes, since the lorry appears to be blocking 2 lanes, and wait for a gap in lane 3 to enter the refuge in the median of the main road. Only downside is you will still be blocking the road until someone in lane 3 either lets you go, or you are lucky enough to find a natural gap. This might be the only safe option if there is a long line of traffic behind you.
3:04 Always remember, the temporary signs at road works are mostly put there by people who are good at digging holes, not traffic management. Something is happening, not necessarily exactly as the sign says.
A while ago, country road, approaching a bend, a temporary sign saying road narrows, on the left. At the apex of the bend, in plain view, a BT van, on the right, with a man up a pole. First thought, got the road narrows signs wrong. Just around the corner, was his mate. Van on the road, on the left, man up another pole. I guess the signs were placed by the guy on the left, then the other guy arrived.
Camera's can serve as mirrors as well as dash cams.
The road at 11:08 is right outside Leicester Royal Infirmary, there's a cycle lane going in the opposite direction, unfortunately 2-8 cars are always parked on the cycle lane waiting to pick people up making the cycle lane pretty useless, either you've got to use the pavement or go into oncoming traffic multiple times on that small stretch of road.
2:48 I had some idiot almost stop on the carriageway to let me merge, even though there was no one behind him and I lowered my speed to slot in behind. My car was heavy and had very litle power, and the slip was very short, so I couldn't match the highway speed easily.
Reminds me of a time when I left a service station on the M1
As I began to accelerate to join the motorway, which was quite empty, the IDIOT in front of me stopped dead to give way totally unnecessarily, and I was lucky enough there was room to swerve to avoid him and I accelerated away
If there had been a long tailback, but not on an empty motorway on Sunday morning
Half the times people let me out seem to be like this, completely uneccesary as there's no one behind them.
that last click was just quackers! Sorry had to do it!🤭
Here's a story for you: my husband couldn't avoid hitting a pheasant on the motorway once. He felt bad, especially when he got home, parked up, and the poor bird fell out from where it was lodged under his bumper. At least it didn't go to waste...we had it for Sunday dinner.
It makes a change to see some good driving, now why can't we all do it!!!!
Ego, social hierarchy and impatience
Elon... mate what're you filming on? VHS? lol
Would have been great is Ashley had gone into an old public service information voice for commentary.
Still better than most cameras on US Navy aircraft carriers lol
Its designed for the autopilot system and the dashcam feature was added later on in a software update because people were asking for it
As a regular visitor to the US I'm often surprised how all traffic stops in towns to let pedestrians cross the road despite there being no designated crossing points. Also the total lack of aggravation when two lanes merge.
Its sometimes really hard to know if letting people out of a junction is helping traffic flow, especially in high congestion areas like central London. City Road planning is a seriously complex job and in many circumstances traffic may be purposefully impeded to help traffic in other areas. Making a small cut through a less attractive option than a major route by making it difficult to merge later etc.
You can notice this at places like old St roundabout when doing roadworks they will cut side roads down from 2 lanes to 1 to prevent it becoming a bypass. If people were zip merged and those cut throughs flowed freely it would just bypass the entire system and cause so many issues to people trying to use these roads for access etc
The blind spot issue at 6:00 was good driving from you but really it should never be an issue, if you change lanes one at a time, your mirrors show you everything you need to to switch between two lanes
The duck video at the end reminded me of two strange incidents on the same road. One time my dad was driving back from work, and a duck flew right into the front left of the car. Buggered the thing, and it was a near new beemer as well. 😅
The other one happened when I was driving, I came round a sharpish bend to be confronted by a man who had stopped his car, and was chasing a pheasant around😂. I think it might have been to get it off the road or something. I’ve never seen anything quite like it, I had to pinch myself to check I wasn’t dreaming. Fortunately I avoided an accident but the girl a fe seconds behind wasn’t so lucky. I felt really bad for her, she clearly wasn’t a confident driver, and hadn’t been driving for long. I made sure she was ok and told her not to worry about it, but you could tell she was quite shaken by it. We exchanged details and that was about it. Of course the guy in front of me drove off and left us there, even though it was his fault really (although insurance ruled (understandably) that she was to pay).
I would've moved to the outside lane as I passed the lorry, having spotted vehicles on the slip road. This would have allowed velocity to be maintained. In my view this is the most appropriate decision if properly considering for other road users (especially persons who aren't as competent, such as the Ford driver) and the need to assist the general flow and speed of motorway traffic.
The clip doesn't suggest there was any reason why this manoeuvre couldn't have taken place, so why reduce speed and refuse to use the outside lane?
@@loverofgod6176 yeah it depends if the lane is free. Also, I’m all for helping the general flow, but that doesn’t mean running out the way of potentially hundreds of situations incase some idiot does one of them. At the end of the day it’s only going to encourage the twat to do it to more people. And chances are most drivers won’t be as forgiving as you and me.
Wow, after watching probably hundreds of "car crash" videos and wondering just what's wrong with people, I find your channel. Promoting defensive driving by example instead of counterexample - just brilliant. Should be compulsory viewing for all new drivers. Subbed.
Nice 👍🏻
Why you should cycle further from the kerb demonstrated at 4:21 precisely... In the UK they have regulations to re-place road drains with the bars running perpendicular to travel but you can't guarantee it. If your tyre slips into those slots there's a high chance you're getting thrown from your bike
2 years later and the road works are still going on, on the east lancs 😂
Fancy seeing Stockton on one of your videos! Never see Teesside casually popup on TH-cam. Sweet.
4:30 I despise these roundabouts, it's about 5 minutes from my house, but people always do what that van does
Another set of excellent clips Ashley. And yes, my Tesla produces brown videos too. But hey, help me out here: What's a Camma? Kamma? I'm an ADI. Should I have a Cama too?
Low resolution footage on the Tesla is due to the fact that lower resolution can't be processed fast enough for auto pilot and safety systems that they have built in. Yes Tesla uses cameras in priority over other sensors.
10:27 the solid white lines on your side of the road - if the cyclists were doing 10mph or less then it's absolutely fine to straddle the white lines to pass (if it's safe obviously). In this case, the oncoming white car and a speed likely over 10mph he did the right thing.
So - the statement "it's solid whites" by the driver - isn't necessarily correct in all situations.
When I'm on the bike I really don't care if I'm doing 10 mph or 20 mph with solid whites, as long as the overtake is safe. Although I believe it was double whites on the A603 - at 40 mph, it really is a bit of a pisstake!
Is that so? I thought if you had a tractor doing 5 mph on solid lines you still had to wait etc
@@MrSapps highway code rule 129
2:11 The I'm going through on amber no matter what driver. Very aggressive driving stance closing the space down to avoid getting stopped by the lights.
@ 6:15 you also did well in not pulling back in to lane 2. 1) it would have been in the black car’s blind spot 2) the black car wouldn’t have been able to pull out into lane 2 to overtake. Had I been the black car I would have waited for you to pass me - not sure he checked his blind spot...
Every moment of bad driving has an opportunity for nice driving
I've noticed in newer videos that subscribe and thankyou message makes me think the video is over when it's only half done
12.07 reversing was the safe thing to, so many drivers would have try'd to move forward
Making a left turn in front of the truck is not safe?
@@StefanDP you cannot see past it and into the second lane. So no its not safe. You don’t know someone isn’t going to fly past and dart into lane 1.
@@StefanDP also, he was turning right
@@sagov9 fair enough. I missed when he said that. I’ve only had my license for a year and not driving much with the lockdowns and whatnot, and this is a good lesson!
11:09 - 11:33 that clip is in Leicester I know that area it's next to Royal Hospital
Hiya Ashley. I just watched a video on UK Moto of a drunk driver who hit several cars on a motorway and carried on driving until his gearbox went belly up. I think it'll be interesting for you to review it, or make a video all about driving under the influence of something.
Let's face it, a good percentage of drivers admit to have driven whilst under the influence of drugs or alcohol before. I know somebody who unfortuanly drinks and drives often.
Maybe an Ashley's ....... video will be something we can all show to those who do do it. Especially with Christmas and New year coming up as there tends to be a lot more drunks driving around then.
I had a problem years ago with a duck whist driving through a small town slowly in second gear. It came in from the left a couple of feet ahead of the car and flew up at us. There was not a lot I could do as we were in a closely packed line of traffic so I just eased the gas listened for the impact and checked the rear view mirrors for a duck flying away. Neither of these outcomes happened. When we reached the destination I decided to check for impact damage and found a frightened duck cowering between the roof box and the roof. It was unharmed and flew off.
Is that Fazakerly hospital?
I was there last year & looks familiar
For the right turn onto that busy main road, I would of personally have just gone out and turned left while the truck was waiting to do the maneuver, turn left again onto townsend ave, then do a u-turn at the first available bit on townsend ave then you would of had the light to lead you safely into a right turn, you may of lost some time but oh well. personally i would of probably have just gone to townsend ave in the first place to have the safety of the light to turn with especially if it was in rush hour. Obviously there is the matter of lack of knowledge of the area etc to know that the option was available so im writing this on the assumption the area is known to an individual in this position.
7:07 Like a zipper, beautiful.
4:21 eek! look at the grid, bars parallel to the kerb, I definitely wouldn't be cycling in that gutter
[got to say, the lack of potholes puts most of todays UK roads to shame,,,]
9:05 I wonder if NA kindly letting out the van\minibus prompted the grey van behind into slowing for the pedestrian to cross?
[please don't tell me it was because they wanted a closer look at her ;)]
I can't believe the white car on the left at 1:17 is 10m from the junction.
I may have to start uploading some of my videos, the shit i see on a daily basis is both hilarious and dangerous
