8:00 unless you absolutely HAVE to change lanes for some reason, you maintain your own lane discipline on a roundabout. That was entirely your own fault.
Thank you for confirming my intuition about this! I've been watching videos posted by a UK drive instructor, and he never calls any of his students out on this manoeuver, and they do it A LOT. As a Canadian I was beginning to think I had it wrong!
He should be fully aware of large vehicles turning there anyway. The road opposite the tractor (on the left) has a quarry on it, so there's always a chance they'll be on the road. 52.71146866557776, 1.349117952425379 on Google Maps if anyone cares.
2:37 oh no, you had to overtake a tractor, that really must be so traumatising. I'm really sorry that happened to you. I hope therapy can help you pull through this horrifying experience.
Not only that he said he was doing 60 , which in itself is legal...but obvioully totally ignore the writing in white on the road "SLOW". Would that not mean possible danger ? another i'm in the right so not culpable .
@glennbeavis8478 . Why do you think 60 is illegal? National speed limit on a rural A road is 60. Ignoring the 'slow' sign is questionable but not illegal.
Came here looking for this comment. What was the tractor supposed to do? Wait until 3 am when there are no cars on the road? Cammer was far away had time to react and there was no oncoming traffic, so he could cleanly overtake. What was all this complaining about?
Farm vehicle did nothing wrong at all,should he just have sat at the junction all day untill he was sure you were not driving along that stretch of road,maybe he could have phoned you(handsfree)just to make sure you were not out and about.
The tractor pulled out infront of you? You were nowhere near that junction and he was already fully committed to turning before you could even see him. Top it all off with a borderline dangerous overtake and we're left with only one conclusion, you're a pee poor driver
I sometimes need to drive a tractor along the road, and the cammer's pov terrifies me. I would point out that, depending on the type and configuration of tractor, it can feel a VERY compromising position to be in sat on top of a big hunk of metal, so I doubt the driver saw a car speeding towards them and thought "I'll pull out in front of that to make a point". The cammer was going far too fast given that he could see what was up ahead. At 2:36 there is a sign warning of a junction and SLOW written on the road. All the environmental cues shout "this is where the tractors live", but the entitled cammer is offended by the idea of applying the brake.
8:05 Or alternatively, just stay in your lane until you have cleared the roundabout? Literally the point of there being the 2 exit lanes, and much safer to check your blind spot once the road straightens up again.
@waltersobchak1719are you the dash cam driver? As you seem to be responding to every comment regarding this? Whether coach driver should have stop or not, it was obvious the coach driver was going for it regardless. Dash cam driver (or you) had at least 10 seconds to respond to this obvious manoeuvre but chose to make a massive drama out of it instead.
Chris is a regular submitter on dashcam channels, thought he had given up but looks like he just moved here instead. And yes his driving is always this bad
First clip, straight away - the coach is visible the whole time, and basic defensive driving would make you expect that it might pull out, and allow space accordingly or even slow down a little.
There must have been a good 10 or 11 seconds of visibility of the bus, which probably had passengers on it, the camera vehicle didn't even need to touch the brakes just lay off the accelerator for a second, that's just selfish, immature, arrogant driving by someone trying to create a drama.
Number 17 (Chris) - It's really, really simple. You don't move lane until the lane is clear and if you can be undertaken there's every change YOU are in the wrong lane and holding up traffic in the first place. I recommend a refresher driving course.
Totally agree that was a poor exit from the roundabout by Chris. I would argue about the point of him being in the wrong lane taking the roundabout. He maintained his lane until the poor exit. The red car was impatient going past as he did. How about following Ashley Neal’s advice of offsetting until clear of the roundabout. Let’s call it a double fail.
The tractor doesn’t have to wait, the cammer is more than a safe distance away. I lived on a farm as a child and I remember idiots like that. The orange triangle on a tractor in the US is for slow moving agricultural vehicles. I remember driving from one field to the next and people would honk and cuss me out. We owned the road, literally. It was our private property, paved with our money, had signs at either end that said,” end county maintained road.” We had to plow it when it snowed, fix the potholes and have it resurfaced every 20 years. It was the easiest, quickest way to get into town. After putting up with @ssholes for many years, we put locked gates at each end. This road was two lanes and four miles long and was the sole direct route from town to a major housing development. We got sued, but it was our road and our right to say who could use it. The court affirmed that. The HOA that sued us had to pay our legal bills and some extra for harassment. I still remember the look of shock on peoples faces when they passed the tractor and found a 9 year old kid was driving. Perfectly legal. Our land, our road, agricultural use. I could drive a tractor, bulldozer and combine at eight. Those were the days.
the driver in the last clip needs to retake their test. You weren’t undertaken (not that it matters as undertaking isn’t illegal especially in that situation) You changed lanes without checking to see if the lane was empty
I thought you’re not to overtake on a roundabout in any circumstances? This is constantly pointed out in other videos. The cammer should have checked his mirrors and not changed lane unnecessarily, but the other driver was also at fault for overtaking on a roundabout.
@@AogNubJoshh You thought wrong. The Highway Code does NOT prohibit passing a vehicle on a multilane roundabout on the nearside, although it seldom a good idea to do so #DefensiveDriving

I’ve got to agree with the many other posts, No. 1, its a big long bus, slow down, pointless.And then the tractor clip, its a slow moving tractor going about his day, just because you’ve got you’re lights on, doesn’t mean he cant pull safely out, lift your foot off the accelerator and go around when safe. Plenty of time and space to slow safely.
@waltersobchak1719 No, not at all, but the camera car could easily of evaded the situation. When your driving, you should be aware of things that can become potential hazards and drive/ react accordingly. The bus driver may have misjudged, the camera car may have been in his blind spot, the bus driver could simply be in the wrong, but the camera car was not in the right either.
@waltersobchak1719 this is correct, he did fail to give way, but the camera car made the situation bad. I don’t know if you know them, but they made it worse by making it into a situation. Do you drive? I’m sure that if you do, you know about that feeling you get when someone’s going to do something daft and you can anticipate it. The camera car should have anticipated that the coach wasn’t going to stop, I mean it was steaming along, also there’s a lot of coach length to get out of the angled junction, so again, time to do something about it. I am not a coach driver, I don’t know stopping distances of coaches. I’m not defending the coach driver, he was in the wrong, but so was the camera car that sent in the clip.
First clip - Oh eff off why don't you? Show some courtesy to people driving large slow vehicles. If you just came off your gas pedal a little it would've been comfortable for the both of you.
A decent driver would have recognised that it was a horrible junction to pull out of - a decent driver would have recognised that the coach wasn't slowing to a stop. Just as long as you keep on the gas and submit a clip
It was obvious he sped up as he knew there was a likelihood the coach would pull out, just to get a puerile clip posted. I’m increasingly thinking channels like this encourage pisspoor driving.
#1 Another helmet horn honker. It was perfectly obvious well in advance that the coach was going to pull out. Just slow down, flash your lights, and let it. Geez, be nice not narky✌️😎
@waltersobchak1719 There wasn't, genius. But that is exactly the logic of what you said. Ignore what's actually going on, because the law says they're in the wrong.
Not stop. Just give way. With a junction at that angle I'd have treated it as a slip road and adjusted my speed in advance to allow the coach to join. I'm with @JonPaul1953 on this one.
@@tootsie323 Exactly. Plus it's nice to be nice. Do that for the coach, the coach does it for someone else and so on. Suddenly the roads become pleasanter and safer. Unless you want a cam clip on RubyDashcam and your fifteen seconds of shame, that is.
I wish I was as good at driving as the people in the videos. They literally never create problems out of nothing and are always so accommodating of other peoples mistakes. I’ll never achieve such mastery.
I have known there be situations where the lights don't change like they literally malfunction and never change. The other side changes and hanges back but your side never changed
You might be surprised at the number of people who think that they're not "official" lights and don't have to be obeyed. I heard someone argue that, "Yeah, well, they were just plonked there by the workmen, innit. So it's not like the police put them in so they don't care." As though permanent traffic lights are installed by the police.🙄
OMG! I'm worried about getting in my car now. I don't have daylight running lights so I'm completely invisible, no-one will be able to see me, especially tractors!
#7 Very weird. What I can't get over is three vehicles waiting at the lights in a yellow hatched box, obviously in place to accommodate artics coming around the tight corner. Could do with a repaint though but even so pretty obvious - wonder if anyone ever gets pulled over for this at this junction
I don't think the yellow box is in use here, potentially old and discontinued. If you look closely you can see the white markings are pretty new, then you can see the old faded white markings next to the new ones at the very start of the clip. The tall building on the left looks pretty new aswell so i reckon there was probably something else there once and the road layout has changed since then
@@mtbmike6676 They should probably go back to use using the yellow. As white for lane markings etc and than yellow for areas your cant stop in. makes it very simple and easy to identify.
@@mtbmike6676 The junction shown in that clip is the A59 / Holgate Road, just before its junction with the A1036 / Blossom Street in York. The box is very much still in use, giving access to/from Lowther Terrace - a dead-end road on the left. You can't see that from the biker's position on the outside of traffic but, as a driver, the street entrance is perfectly obvious. However, as @malcwhite said, the generally accepted meaning of box junctions in this city is "the council wasted a lot of yellow paint here". I've had a following driver pull out, pass me and cut back into the box when I've stopped so as to leave the box clear at that junction.
There are usually a few clips of drivers who can't see beyond their own bonnet, but this selection of clips takes this to a new level! Try looking further up the road ahead and adjusting your driving to accommodate and anticipate what's going to happen. The traffic will flow more smoothly and there will be fewer incidents!
#8 I remember when I was getting a driving lesson I was in a similar situation coming to a roundabout, I could see a car coming so I started to slow but my instructor told me to just keep going and in a panic I ended up doing both and stopped in front of the oncoming car. Luckily there was no collision but I never used that instructor again.
Could someone inform the last clip cam car driver that undertaking is not illegal and it is your responsibility to check if the lane is clear before moving into it. Also, if you drive at the pace of a slug, this will happen a lot.
Ok so it's that time of the day again where we do sane analysis: Clip 1: yes the bus shouldn't have done that, but the cammer could see that coming from a few hundred metres off, poor planning lead to having to slow down rapidly, and the horn isn't meant to be used to reprimand people, rather to alert them to your presence. Also, you then go on to tailgate the bus, smart. Clip 6: Oh no a tractor! How scary! Clip 17: So, let me get this straight, you drive off the roundabout into a lane you're not already in, evidently without looking given the near-collision, and blame the other car? It may not be an angel but you're certainly not either.
2:38 The Tractor had a huge gap and was fully pulled out and driving before you got near. Do you want him to wait until there are zero cars on the roads to move. Moaning about absolutely nothing.
There is a towing strap between that car and the one in front - you can see it at 3:21. The driver was protecting the biker from getting caught between the two vehicles.
@@annoyingbstard9407yes it's a good job he did it wasn't it, or you wouldn't get your deliveries to the shop on the first place and the shelves would be empty genius!🙄
1:46 I totally agree with that - reason being, I have seen too many accidents of people in little cars trying to beat the lorry. Much safer. This guy is on dashcam compilations quite a lot.
Some round abouts i do that in my work van. There is one that unless you get everything perfect your going to end up sticking into the other lane at some point. So I always just act a like a bit of a dick block both lanes to make sure i get round without somone doing somthing stupid.
@@hooobbit6776 I want you to know that unless you've been driving like a bellend prior to doing this, I'll assume you've done it for good reason, be patient, and just hang back. Actually, if you HAVE been driving like a bellend before this, I'll STILL be patient and hang back. Just for a different reason.
Last clip - I refuse to play that song at Christmas. Every year I watch a dash cam video of some form of accident or near miss with that song playing on the radio - it’s a bad omen song.
#1 Someone looking for problems. Entirely reasonable for the coach driver to slot in there in the expectation that the approaching driver would be a reasonable, sensible human being and just back off a tiny amount rather that being a dick
#5 - yes thats a stupid junction. The signs at the traffic lights say get in the outside lane for a A272 and then you have to swing across to the middle lane at the next lights, but most people ignore that and get in the middle lane for both so you have to cut them up to get in the right lane. Very annoying. Of course when they re-do the whole junction it will be perfect - probably not.
#1 Another camper who seems to have no common sense, certainly the coach could have waited but you made no attempt to slow down to lessen the danger once it was apparent that the driver hadn’t seen you. Another Case of two wrongs I’m afraid.
Look again - there is a towing strap between that car and the one in front - you can see it at 3:21. The driver was protecting the biker from getting caught between the two vehicles.
No. 15. That's the Debdale Park - A57 you're on towards Manchester. That left turn towards Reddish is terrible. You did the right thing on this occasion, as the drivers in the area do not give a toss about other road users.
It’s also really badly designed as junctions go. Space between the crossing and yellow box should be marked properly as yellow box, and is not. Can see where the confusion for those drivers comes from, and could be easily solved with some paint.
2:20 I do the same. There’s a roundabout with 4 exits and no road makings. But some entrences are wide-enough for two cars. Which means people hang left and right to go strait across into a small road on the other side which causes so much mess. So I just stick myself right in the middle to stop people trying to exit onto the small road from either side. Had to emergency brake there way to many times
There is a towing strap between that car and the one in front - you can see it at 3:21. The driver was protecting the biker from getting caught between the two vehicles.
#4: They are all bad because they've all broken the law by running a red traffic light. You are still required by law to stop at a red traffic light even if the lights are only temporary. They've recently put up temporary traffic lights at that spot again. #5: The cammer as the perfect excuse of needing more room as he's driving an HGV. #6: The cammer should've slowed down for the tractor. #7: The black Astra was also stopped in a box junction so that's a double whammy.
2:36 cammer is a absolute weapon, oh no the poor tractor pulled out like 3000ft in front of you and your decision was to just keep speeding on through with no regard to anyone else around you. Had plenty of people like this while driving tractors unfortunately and most of them are like this they think because its a slow moving vehicle its easy to get past but its not always and a bit of due care and attention never goes a miss, also a few drivers need to really control their anger when dealing with farm traffic, have had someone threaten me with a tyre iron because i "refused" to let them past, there was nowhere safe to pull in and no decently straight buts of road to slow down, so what else could i do
3:14 #7 interesting they are stopped waiting in a box junction. I know rule 174 says you may wait in a box junction if you are turning right but it also explicitly states that this does not apply if the junction (roundabout?) is signalled.
#6 / 2:39 so what? You were far away and he used the huge gap he had. No problem. You simply have to accept that there are also slowere vehicles in traffic, and at some point they will get out of a side road or property access path as well.
2:35 The Tractor pulled out onto the road before you were visible. Any normal driver would have had enough time to make an entry in their callender to remind them to slow down in the near future... But I guess the 11 seconds to 2:46 were too short for the Goldfish level of attention span the cammer demonstrated to figure out how to drive in a responsible manner.
#6 only issue with that is being triggered 😤 because coming up to a slow moving vehicle. Seriously what would this driver likely behave like with a cyclist as if doing 60 would not have enough room to pass
Is the impatient guy who submitted that clip @2:33 for real? He's complaining about a tractor pulling out from a junction what over 200 metres ahead. It takes him fully 13 seconds to catch up with it at 60 mph and doesn't even lose any time. Also, @8:05 it is the cammer at fault. You simply do not, ever change lanes on the exit of a roundabout unless you know for sure the lane you are entering is completely clear. Indeed, it is much, much safer to not change lanes at all until you are fully off of the roundabout.
8:00 literally entirely your own fault there! can't believe you watched this clip back to yourself and still decided to send it in 😂
100 percent no need to change lanes where he/she did anyways
A prime example of when you argue with someone about who was in the right...and still send this clip in because you only see it your way.
8:00 unless you absolutely HAVE to change lanes for some reason, you maintain your own lane discipline on a roundabout. That was entirely your own fault.
I didn't notice any indication either. Bad driver!
I love it when people a so thick that they send in a video showing what a bad driver they are!🤣
was about to say the same, should have exited into lane 2 and then moved if clear rather than switching on the roundabout

Do you drive? I’m sure that if you do, you know about that feeling you get when someone’s going to do something daft and you can anticipate it. The camera car should have anticipated that the coach wasn’t going to stop, I mean it was steaming along, also there’s a lot of coach length to get out of the angled junction, so again, time to do something about it. I am not a coach driver, I don’t know stopping distances of coaches. I’m not defending the coach driver, he was in the wrong, but so was the camera car that sent in the clip.
@waltersobchak1719 ok, i cant be arsed to argue with you, you did nothing wrong.
First clip - Oh eff off why don't you? Show some courtesy to people driving large slow vehicles. If you just came off your gas pedal a little it would've been comfortable for the both of you.
A decent driver would have recognised that it was a horrible junction to pull out of - a decent driver would have recognised that the coach wasn't slowing to a stop. Just as long as you keep on the gas and submit a clip
@@simonlloyd74slA decent driver wouldn’t have blindly pulled out of a junction into oncoming traffic
It was obvious he sped up as he knew there was a likelihood the coach would pull out, just to get a puerile clip posted. I’m increasingly thinking channels like this encourage pisspoor driving.
No arguments from me about the coach driver, the cammer should have handled it much better
How far away do you need to see them to just slow down, or is 10 seconds too much of an inconvenience to you lot😂
Have I finally lost it, or is #6 just unhappy that a tractor has had the temerity to exist on the same stretch of road as them?
Maybe they had the same problem as the bus in Speed, and couldn't go below 55mph...
8:09 Standard Chris Mcarthur not understanding how to drive..
#7 had either farted and / or shat himself. Sometimes just opening the windows aren't enough.
We’ve all done it…
Apparently it was a an out-of-date Lidle quiche and some seasonal sprouts.
#1 Another helmet horn honker. It was perfectly obvious well in advance that the coach was going to pull out. Just slow down, flash your lights, and let it. Geez, be nice not narky✌️😎
@waltersobchak1719 Right. So your logic is just keep going and have an accident, because the law says so. Right so, Ted🙄🤷♂️
@waltersobchak1719 There wasn't, genius. But that is exactly the logic of what you said. Ignore what's actually going on, because the law says they're in the wrong.
Not stop. Just give way.
With a junction at that angle I'd have treated it as a slip road and adjusted my speed in advance to allow the coach to join. I'm with @JonPaul1953 on this one.
@@tootsie323 Exactly. Plus it's nice to be nice. Do that for the coach, the coach does it for someone else and so on. Suddenly the roads become pleasanter and safer. Unless you want a cam clip on RubyDashcam and your fifteen seconds of shame, that is.
@waltersobchak1719 So what? At least I'd have done the sane thing, and not ploughed into the coach because the law says that they were in the wrong.
8:10 or to put it another way, you didn't check your mirrors before changing lanes.
At 8:10 driver should have checked if the outside lane was clear before honking his horn and not just pulling his car out almost causing a collision.
I wish I was as good at driving as the people in the videos. They literally never create problems out of nothing and are always so accommodating of other peoples mistakes. I’ll never achieve such mastery.
#4 "Are these drivers bad?" Does breaking the law have to be questioned ? They might be temporary lights but law still applies.
wrongly worded question really. Isn't being bad something you call a child ?
I have known there be situations where the lights don't change like they literally malfunction and never change. The other side changes and hanges back but your side never changed
You might be surprised at the number of people who think that they're not "official" lights and don't have to be obeyed. I heard someone argue that, "Yeah, well, they were just plonked there by the workmen, innit. So it's not like the police put them in so they don't care." As though permanent traffic lights are installed by the police.🙄
OMG! I'm worried about getting in my car now. I don't have daylight running lights so I'm completely invisible, no-one will be able to see me, especially tractors!
0:23 poor observation, getting way too close to that bus had plenty of time to adjust speed on approach
#1 clearly camera person in this clip is at fault, I’m a cyclist and I don’t understand what this person was thinking
#7 Very weird. What I can't get over is three vehicles waiting at the lights in a yellow hatched box, obviously in place to accommodate artics coming around the tight corner. Could do with a repaint though but even so pretty obvious - wonder if anyone ever gets pulled over for this at this junction
Sadly people just ignore box junctions.
I don't think the yellow box is in use here, potentially old and discontinued.
If you look closely you can see the white markings are pretty new, then you can see the old faded white markings next to the new ones at the very start of the clip. The tall building on the left looks pretty new aswell so i reckon there was probably something else there once and the road layout has changed since then
@@mtbmike6676 They should probably go back to use using the yellow. As white for lane markings etc and than yellow for areas your cant stop in. makes it very simple and easy to identify.
@@mtbmike6676 The junction shown in that clip is the A59 / Holgate Road, just before its junction with the A1036 / Blossom Street in York. The box is very much still in use, giving access to/from Lowther Terrace - a dead-end road on the left. You can't see that from the biker's position on the outside of traffic but, as a driver, the street entrance is perfectly obvious. However, as @malcwhite said, the generally accepted meaning of box junctions in this city is "the council wasted a lot of yellow paint here". I've had a following driver pull out, pass me and cut back into the box when I've stopped so as to leave the box clear at that junction.
There are usually a few clips of drivers who can't see beyond their own bonnet, but this selection of clips takes this to a new level! Try looking further up the road ahead and adjusting your driving to accommodate and anticipate what's going to happen. The traffic will flow more smoothly and there will be fewer incidents!
Corrr #13 been saving that clip for ages I remeber that pain of dartford crossing being modernised
#6. The tractor was in the next postcode when he pulled out. And you overtook him on a clear road on a clear day. Ooh arr...
@waltersobchak1719 Overtaking that tractor probably added like 5 extra meters to his drive. Think of the wear on his engine and tyres.
Not very 'eco friendly' is it? 😂
Save a few seconds here and there and the minutes will take care of themselves. Ask any F1 driver.
Sorry, I don't know any F1 drivers. Oh, just a second, Emerson Fittipaldi?@@davidspear9790
#8 I remember when I was getting a driving lesson I was in a similar situation coming to a roundabout, I could see a car coming so I started to slow but my instructor told me to just keep going and in a panic I ended up doing both and stopped in front of the oncoming car. Luckily there was no collision but I never used that instructor again.
Imagine sending that last clip in thinking you were in the right 😂😂😂
No 1 OK he had to give way, but in the great scheme of things you could have eased off! So less drama!
Could someone inform the last clip cam car driver that undertaking is not illegal and it is your responsibility to check if the lane is clear before moving into it. Also, if you drive at the pace of a slug, this will happen a lot.
Ok so it's that time of the day again where we do sane analysis:
Clip 1: yes the bus shouldn't have done that, but the cammer could see that coming from a few hundred metres off, poor planning lead to having to slow down rapidly, and the horn isn't meant to be used to reprimand people, rather to alert them to your presence. Also, you then go on to tailgate the bus, smart.
Clip 6: Oh no a tractor! How scary!
Clip 17: So, let me get this straight, you drive off the roundabout into a lane you're not already in, evidently without looking given the near-collision, and blame the other car? It may not be an angel but you're certainly not either.
2:38 The Tractor had a huge gap and was fully pulled out and driving before you got near. Do you want him to wait until there are zero cars on the roads to move. Moaning about absolutely nothing.
Last clip, the DC shouldn't have been changing lanes coming off the roundabout.
Didn't see what the tractor did wrong ! Cammer saw him down the road but still kept driving at speed towards him !
#7. Maybe he opened the door to let the clutch out….😊
I thought he had let one rip. Just getting rid of the smell.
V. Good.
There is a towing strap between that car and the one in front - you can see it at 3:21. The driver was protecting the biker from getting caught between the two vehicles.
8:00 can't read the road properly, he is supposed to exit on the outside. The other car did nothing wrong
Well done mr lorry driver,, good plan to straddle both lanes and hopefully stop impatient car driver's cutting you up.great job,stay safe 👍
Yes, he had to get those goddam baked beans through for the sake of civilisation.
He’s on here every week with his videos proving to everyone he’s a bit of a bellend.
@@annoyingbstard9407yes it's a good job he did it wasn't it, or you wouldn't get your deliveries to the shop on the first place and the shelves would be empty genius!🙄
0:12 hazard perception??? It's in the test unless you didn't do it. That's a hazard you would click for. So I ask why not slow down?
1:46 I totally agree with that - reason being, I have seen too many accidents of people in little cars trying to beat the lorry. Much safer. This guy is on dashcam compilations quite a lot.
Some round abouts i do that in my work van. There is one that unless you get everything perfect your going to end up sticking into the other lane at some point. So I always just act a like a bit of a dick block both lanes to make sure i get round without somone doing somthing stupid.
@@hooobbit6776 I want you to know that unless you've been driving like a bellend prior to doing this, I'll assume you've done it for good reason, be patient, and just hang back.
Actually, if you HAVE been driving like a bellend before this, I'll STILL be patient and hang back. Just for a different reason.
Thanks for another Vid :)
Last clip - I refuse to play that song at Christmas. Every year I watch a dash cam video of some form of accident or near miss with that song playing on the radio - it’s a bad omen song.
clip 1 - take the boot off the go pedal! Clip 2, look out of the window, not at the car bonnet.
5:00 no mention of you tailgating the Figaro though! Its 2 seconds, not milliseconds.
#1 Someone looking for problems. Entirely reasonable for the coach driver to slot in there in the expectation that the approaching driver would be a reasonable, sensible human being and just back off a tiny amount rather that being a dick
Nissan Figaro at 4:50.
I haven't seen one of those about in years.
I don't think I've ever seen one - I was wondering, thanks! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Figaro
The cam car driver was so surprised he felt he had to tailgate it. Hard to criticise other drivers when your own standards are so low.
Seen those quite a few times when visiting the UK. Only available in right hand drive, so unfortunately not that many around on Europe mainland.
Chris McArthur makes me laugh. Submits to as many channels as he can hoping someone will take his side when he is nearly always in the wrong.
#5 - yes thats a stupid junction. The signs at the traffic lights say get in the outside lane for a A272 and then you have to swing across to the middle lane at the next lights, but most people ignore that and get in the middle lane for both so you have to cut them up to get in the right lane. Very annoying. Of course when they re-do the whole junction it will be perfect - probably not.
OMFG, a tracker pulls out in front of you half a maile away and your tampon fell out.
A nonsequitur if ever there was one.
#1 Another camper who seems to have no common sense, certainly the coach could have waited but you made no attempt to slow down to lessen the danger once it was apparent that the driver hadn’t seen you. Another Case of two wrongs I’m afraid.
Clip number 1, why did you speed up to close the gap to the bus? Oh yes, to "get a clip"
The KEEP CLEAR markings are there to indicate a nice place to park while waiting for your intended lane to clear, right?
ratty1969 @ 0:08 if you didn't anticipate that HUGE white bus coming into your road space then you need to hand your licence back mate.
That was very strange with the man ready to push his car door into a motorcycle if he dare go past him at the lights
Whilst sitting in a yellow box part of the junction……..
Look again - there is a towing strap between that car and the one in front - you can see it at 3:21. The driver was protecting the biker from getting caught between the two vehicles.
No. 15. That's the Debdale Park - A57 you're on towards Manchester. That left turn towards Reddish is terrible. You did the right thing on this occasion, as the drivers in the area do not give a toss about other road users.
The trucker whines about people skipping the ASL and stop line and he does exactly the same thing, he's a twonk.
It’s also really badly designed as junctions go. Space between the crossing and yellow box should be marked properly as yellow box, and is not. Can see where the confusion for those drivers comes from, and could be easily solved with some paint.
Tractor driver didn’t do anything wrong, the dash cam driver only sent in this clip in for attention and failed miserably!
2:20 I do the same. There’s a roundabout with 4 exits and no road makings. But some entrences are wide-enough for two cars. Which means people hang left and right to go strait across into a small road on the other side which causes so much mess. So I just stick myself right in the middle to stop people trying to exit onto the small road from either side. Had to emergency brake there way to many times
No 7. What is the cross-hatched box for? As for opening his door, that is endangering a life!
#13. HGV's need plenty of time and space in most situations. Hold back. slow down until they are established.
Love seeing daryll breaking the law
3:15 The biker could have reported him for stopping in a yellow box.
There is a towing strap between that car and the one in front - you can see it at 3:21. The driver was protecting the biker from getting caught between the two vehicles.
@@Mister_G Well spotted. The cammer owes the driver an apology. The towing car should not have stopped in the yellow box, though.
@@Mister_Gglad I am not the only who spotted that. The biker clearly wasn't aware.
That kid sounded so excited to see a crash in the wild.
#4: They are all bad because they've all broken the law by running a red traffic light. You are still required by law to stop at a red traffic light even if the lights are only temporary. They've recently put up temporary traffic lights at that spot again.
#5: The cammer as the perfect excuse of needing more room as he's driving an HGV.
#6: The cammer should've slowed down for the tractor.
#7: The black Astra was also stopped in a box junction so that's a double whammy.
2:36 cammer is a absolute weapon, oh no the poor tractor pulled out like 3000ft in front of you and your decision was to just keep speeding on through with no regard to anyone else around you.
Had plenty of people like this while driving tractors unfortunately and most of them are like this they think because its a slow moving vehicle its easy to get past but its not always and a bit of due care and attention never goes a miss, also a few drivers need to really control their anger when dealing with farm traffic, have had someone threaten me with a tyre iron because i "refused" to let them past, there was nowhere safe to pull in and no decently straight buts of road to slow down, so what else could i do
#16 Jumped across the red hatched lines then ran into the Landrover. Icing on the cake was the burst radiator :)
#12 "Dangerous driver" from the guy tailgating and with almost no visibility because of it.
Last clip..cammer should of used their mirror before moving lane.Mirror ,signal,manouvre..has everyone forgot the basics.?
01:14, #4, looks like the sensor didn’t activate on the lights as first car didn’t pull up close enough to the Wait Here sign.
3:14 #7 interesting they are stopped waiting in a box junction. I know rule 174 says you may wait in a box junction if you are turning right but it also explicitly states that this does not apply if the junction (roundabout?) is signalled.
I find that most dash cam drivers are bad drivers.
Very first video you can see what the coach was going to do but maintained your speed why it makes you the bad driver as well
British dash cam videos bore the crap out of me... Americans and Russians are the craziest drivers 😎
"He can see me because I have daytime running lights" ahhahahahahhahahhahahhahahhahahhahahahahhahahhahahahahahah.....
#6 / 2:39 so what? You were far away and he used the huge gap he had. No problem. You simply have to accept that there are also slowere vehicles in traffic, and at some point they will get out of a side road or property access path as well.
#2 Although lights are green, lane one were stopped at the line. A big clue I feel. But on the phone in that location, unforgiveable.
#6 60mph is the limit not a right, even if you have daytime running lights! Good grief! You needed to slow down - tractor did nothing wrong
Last clip, use you mirrors before changing lanes. Never a good idea to change a lane on the exit of a roundabout.
2:35 The Tractor pulled out onto the road before you were visible. Any normal driver would have had enough time to make an entry in their callender to remind them to slow down in the near future... But I guess the 11 seconds to 2:46 were too short for the Goldfish level of attention span the cammer demonstrated to figure out how to drive in a responsible manner.
0:40 Ahhh modern parenting. Gotta love it. And boy would you get a mouthful if you pointed it out.
100% would have been the enemy if he called her a clown out of the window.
#6 only issue with that is being triggered 😤 because coming up to a slow moving vehicle. Seriously what would this driver likely behave like with a cyclist as if doing 60 would not have enough room to pass
Is it just me or do people see a car/van/bus reaching a stop line/roundabout at speed and think 'he doesn't look like he's going to stop'
Lets face it, while there may be some poor driving here, the UK is pretty good compared to the lunacy of videos from other counties!!
Yes. As a world traveler I can confirm that we are all Ashley Neal compared to many country's motoring standards which of course, will remain nameless
#6 come on in, your time is up.
Is the impatient guy who submitted that clip @2:33 for real? He's complaining about a tractor pulling out from a junction what over 200 metres ahead. It takes him fully 13 seconds to catch up with it at 60 mph and doesn't even lose any time.
Also, @8:05 it is the cammer at fault. You simply do not, ever change lanes on the exit of a roundabout unless you know for sure the lane you are entering is completely clear. Indeed, it is much, much safer to not change lanes at all until you are fully off of the roundabout.
