I am from the States, and other than being on the other side of the road, it could be video of our drivers. Evidently none of us are training drivers very well. But the real enjoyment of the video for me was the scenery. The buildings and the land and plant life around the traffic ways I enjoyed. Will probably never get across the "pond", so you were my travel agent. Thanks again, and greatings from the "States"!
Plenty of people would have chased them down Mark. (I wouldn't, I'm not the violent type, I'd report it fosho). They should count their lucky stars the scumbags.
great driving matt.. if everyone was like you the uk roads would be a safer place .. im a ex forces trained driver and see alot of myself in your driving ... respect matt
Nice video Matt, I think that you might need that new piece of equipment that warns you when you are near to an audi driver......I think it's called a TwatNav!
lived here for a few years in the late 70's, great place for a kid growing up. went back a couple of years ago to checkout some old sites, cant believe how much its changed, turned into a shithole.
Believe it or not, there was a time when it was the capital of Britain. And Henry the 8th(???) used to reside in the Old Hall. Absolutely true look it up.
As a Louth man I'm please to see a bit of the almost local area on TH-cam. You made Gainsborough look really nice and the video of Wilson's carpets (I'm singing the song, thanks lincs FM) was perfect. Loved the video, what cam have you got it's really good quality!
Is it you Matt that comes from Gainsborough I come from Gainsborough ,I used to live down Lea road , Just past the Drovers call and on the left, after the shop .
I'm so glad this happens all over. Recently I've seen similar incidents and will be buying a dash cam very soon. From people pulling out in front to pedestrians just stepping out it's ridiculous!
Can u plz tell mw.what camera did u used ... i wamted to buy but couldnt choose coz all claim to be 700fps or hd etc .. but my friends allwyz say its not what they show .. they r alwyz lower quality .. urs quite clear .. am happy to spend 150 or 200 but want to know which dash cam .. thank u
I did 15000 miles in 2017, only passed in march last year, I haven't seen half as many idiots as you have, then again most of the time I ignore them.This video alone made me decide to buy a dash cam though.
How are these small roundabouts even supposed to work? People always just seem to drive over the middle and get annoyed at the person coming from the left. Are they not supposed to go *around* the roundabout?
In Britain it is fine to overtake more than one car at a given time as long as it is safe to do so which it was. The audi driver is at fault because he failed to look to make sure that no one else was overtaking. The Van driver could also have been charged with inconsiderate driving
I guess it was less about the windscreen possibly being broken, more about obstructing the driver's vision. But I agree, I think everyone went a bit overboard on this one.
So they were like “ooh look that guy who does videos is 20 metres in front and coming towards us, let’s fill up this water ballon and throw it out the window and over the car at him” in less than a second
Great clips here. I have two dash cams facing front and rear. As I live in the country I don’t get too many idiots. However I do drive into London and have some piece of mind. Great to know the police will use the footage.
At 7:39 we see the driver go for an overtake involving him attempting to pass five vehicles ... the Audi driver ahead of him had just two vehicles to pass and the camera car driver should realise that an overtake by a driver who has fewer cars to pass than he does could be fairly likely to go for an overtake, as any of the cars in front of him could ... they ALL have fewer cars to pass, ... we should try to think about what other drivers may be thinking in the circumstances we are in ... but that said, had the Audi driver and the camera car driver considered, not just what was coming from behind, but what was ahead, particularly in the form of side turnings and / or concealed entrances? ... For an overtake he needed to check mirrors and over shoulder BEFORE SIGNALLING ... though an overtake in this situation was a bad move, see below. He should never have signalled, that was his mistake, as well as not checking behind ... the two mistakes were connected, one led to the other. The Audi driver is what I call a "magic wand" merchant ... this is why it is taught in advanced driving that we should only signal when another road user or pedestrian will benefit from that signal ... in this situation but where only one or two cars needed to be passed and assuming a view ahead told us that there were no side roads or concealed entrances to the right, I'd say that a signal, even though there may have been nobody approaching from behind, would be a good thing ... it would benefit anyone behind who was already considering an overtake, even though they hadn't yet committed to it, but rearward observation needs to be had before committing to giving a signal. I would not have had any faith on this road in believing that there were no side roads etc. to the offside ahead, I would assume that there were these hazards and would not have overtaken here. It may have been possible to see far enough ahead to pass one ... perhaps two cars ... no more than that, even two is doubtful but you'd need to have been there to know for sure. (The reason for only signalling when that signal will benefit another road user is that it makes you look BEFORE signalling. It forces you to evaluate whether a signal is actually gonna benefit anyone ... if it isn't, then don't give one. The people who signal and then pull out regardless are using the indicator as if it was a magic wand ... believing somehow, that their signal makes it safe to pull out even though no checks were made beforehand! They don't evaluate whether a signal will benefit anyone at all ... they just give the signal and pull out! This happens a lot on all of our roads, including motorways. The magic wand principle doesn't work and could kill you and others, it has done so many times in the past. We all need to realise that a minority of drivers do this regularly but that minority is a considerable number.) Back to the video ... Had the Audi driver properly checked behind as described he would never have pulled out so a signal would never have been given, it would never have been necessary ... MSM ... in that order ... this has become nowadays, Mirror, Signal, Position, Speed and Look system. The MSPSL is an extension of the familiar MSM (Mirror, Signal, Manoeuvre) routine. So in both cases here the first thing to do is to check behind (*M*irrors & over shoulder check for the blind spot) before the second part (*S*ignal) occurs ... if it is clear with nothing approaching from behind then a driver can pull out to overtake if all is clear ahead and that includes thinking about and looking for side roads etc. (*M*anoeuvre, or position with MSPSL). The fact is though, and considering the camera car, in this situation, overtaking any long line of traffic involves a considerable distance to be covered in the opposing carriageway. Assuming the speed of the overtaking vehicle is at an average of 65mph then that vehicle is travelling at around 98 feet per second ... call it 100fps. (1.5 x speed in mph = fps as near as makes no difference) The overtake would have taken around 13 seconds as a minimum ... this means that the overtaking vehicle was in the opposing lane for around 1300 feet, or 400 metres. There was a gravelled pull in or farm track on the offside during that overtake and a vehicle could have emerged from it. It wasn't a side road btw... there was no give way or stop line at the major road we are on, but it was an area where a vehicle could have turned into the overtaking vehicle. It was indicated by a broken white edge marking at the edge of the road ... difficult to see until you are close to it. This 400m distance is far too long to be in the opposing lane as there was no way for the driver of the overtaking vehicle to know whether a concealed entrance, a side road or such a pull in / layby / farm track as described, existed. A highly dangerous manoeuvre. ROSPA have provided this information for us, it may surprise some people. "More deaths occur on rural roads than on urban ones. In 2014, there were 982 fatal accidents on rural roads compared to 591 on urban roads." I'd say our road here is a rural road. One of the deadliest kinds of road traffic collisions occurs where a driver is about to enter our major road from a side road or a concealed entrance (/exit) from the offside wishing to make a left turn. Many drivers wishing to make a left turn, as they approach and reach the give way lines will look to their right ... (where they are fully aware that traffic which presents a threat to them could be approaching,) ... and then when that is seen to be clear, will pull out into the major road ... many will not check to their left before emerging, ... where they should be thinking about a vehicle who is overtaking slower vehicles, and in their carriageway ... being about 10 seconds, if that, away from killing them. Incidentally, all of the vehicles in that "queue" behind the van were travelling too close to each other ... It is said in the video that they were all travelling at around 30mph, unless I misread the situation shown in the video .. it looks like they were all around 40 feet apart max. A two second gap means they should have been around 90 feet apart (dry conditions) minimum. This wasn't the case and you should have checked before overtaking that there was sufficient a gap for you to enter in front of any of them before committing to the overtake otherwise you could be left in "no-man's land" ... up a certain creek without a paddle!. Not good driving by all I'd say.
I'd say another thing, you say the van was doing 50% of the speed limit, so what! 60 MPH is the maximum on that road not the minimum. He may have been in "take home" mode, he may have a crap engine, I have an old transit with a gutless engine with a maximum speed of 50 MPH even on motorways, we are all entitled to be on the road so long as the vehicle is roadworthy MOT'd, taxed and insured.
No, the laws of physics prevent you overtaking more than one car at a time, unless you have a very very long car, you're past one before you start passing the next. More seriously, no rule against passing 200 if you can get past them safely without breaking any speed limits, chance to pass more than one doesn't arise often though. Cutting back in front of each would be both silly and dangerous.
Job well done mate. Clear footage but most importantly, you're naming and shaming the lunatic fringe out there we all see on a daily basis. I wish other dash cam sites would follow your example. Take the edge off entertainment and more towards education/prosecution.
4:08 should that guy have been in the right hand lane when going left? And before you say he could not have switched to the left lane because the other car was blocking his way, he had plenty of opportunity to switch before
Drive around Small Heath in Birmingham you will see all that at least 6 times a day, driving through red lights, cutting lanes when coming out of a side road, no signalling, driving on the right hand side of the road to overtake, parking on corners causing blindspots.
I am from the States, and other than being on the other side of the road, it could be video of our drivers. Evidently none of us are training drivers very well. But the real enjoyment of the video for me was the scenery. The buildings and the land and plant life around the traffic ways I enjoyed.

3:00 He heard that KFC has got chicken back in stores!
MrJaffaCreations shut up .u aint funny
+Ben Smith u stfu because you can't tell him what to do you aint his parent
That’s funny was he playing chicken haha
@@kiarrataylor9003 Then please leave the comments section, if you cannot take jokes.
MrJaffaCreations shut up
I'm glad to here some justice for the water-balloon .
CR7, I had no doubts. What a fucking fucktard. He needs jail, not a fine.
Plenty of people would have chased them down Mark. (I wouldn't, I'm not the violent type, I'd report it fosho). They should count their lucky stars the scumbags.
That was the line the bus was going to take - you should have been aware of that and held back…
Yeah it's a bus, it's not going to turn the same way as a car.
03:00 he's delivering the secret blend of spices to KFC!
Bet your passengers love you, there’s lots of idiots on the roads but you meet them all, but you’re driving leaves a lot to be desired
Lets just have a minute of silence for that pheasent
1:08
“You just made the list!” Chris Jericho.
great driving matt.. if everyone was like you the uk roads would be a safer place .. im a ex forces trained driver and see alot of myself in your driving ... respect matt
Nice video Matt, I think that you might need that new piece of equipment that warns you when you are near to an audi driver......I think it's called a TwatNav!
Does it work on BMEs too lol
That waterballoon kid paying for what he did made my day :-) Good stuff :-)
2:08 how do you expect the bus to make the turn then?
Exactly!
2:20 absolute plonkatron get your eyesight check hahahaha 😭😭😱😱😱😂😂should've gone to Specsavers 👓👓👓👓😎😎😂😂😂😂
Edit : thanks for all the likes guys 🙏🙏🙏
no
Ive been thinking about a dash cam for a while. This video just sealed the deal. Great video
0:13: which end of the bell were they parked on top of?
A dashcam can save you a lot of money and make you a lot of money by putting the footage on youtube. Worth it.
4:11 is Doncaster
I disagree with some comments, your driving is excellent, great reactions.
some nice little clips,any chance i could use some of them?full credit to your channel too mate?
"What was that?"
"pheasant"
4:50 happens all the time there. People seem to think they can turn right from the left hand lane.
lived here for a few years in the late 70's, great place for a kid growing up. went back a couple of years ago to checkout some old sites, cant believe how much its changed, turned into a shithole.
Believe it or not, there was a time when it was the capital of Britain. And Henry the 8th(???) used to reside in the Old Hall.
Absolutely true look it up.
- my dad grew up here too in the 70s + and apparently it was great
absolutely is a shithole now lol
I lived there during the 90's and it was a shithole then, seeing how it all looks now via youtube I cant believe it managed to get somehow even worse
what dash cam are you using quality looks very good
This a Honda? I recognise the intake sound of vtec in the last clip lol. Or a car w vvt
I would like to know what dash cam your using its better than mine in the last video
As a Louth man I'm please to see a bit of the almost local area on TH-cam. You made Gainsborough look really nice and the video of Wilson's carpets (I'm singing the song, thanks lincs FM) was perfect. Loved the video, what cam have you got it's really good quality!
Bump!! What make, model and spec is your camera? It's pretty good for £100. I am looking for one at the minute .
Hi Ray. Sorry for the late reply. Its a Nextbase 402G
Thanks for the response Matt. Gonna take a look tomorrow. Cheers.
Thank u really enjoyed your footage I've just bought dashcam think u really need 1 these days ,ain't fitted it yet hopefully soon
I heard that you need a dashcam with time/gps to be used as evidence in the UK (or at least just the time stamp). Is this true?
Is it you Matt that comes from Gainsborough I come from Gainsborough ,I used to live down Lea road , Just past the Drovers call and on the left, after the shop .
4:49 that was a highway maintenance car as well!
The guy that drives the martin & co VW always drives like that cut me up a few times in town
planB FleX is that an organ transplant Co pany? he may need one himself one day soon.
2zzge engine in that multi car overtake? I recognise the cam changeover
What dashcam are you using? I’m looking to get one! And the quality of this is brilliant! Thanks!
At the 0:59 the car is on the roundabout before you, you should be giving way to all traffic already on the roundabout.
I'm so glad this happens all over. Recently I've seen similar incidents and will be buying a dash cam very soon. From people pulling out in front to pedestrians just stepping out it's ridiculous!
2:37 it's as if that supreme sticker wasn't bad enough... lol
7:35, the car sounds amazing, what is that
One or two clips around the West Mids area? I see at least one in Bromsgrove.
Can u plz tell mw.what camera did u used ... i wamted to buy but couldnt choose coz all claim to be 700fps or hd etc .. but my friends allwyz say its not what they show .. they r alwyz lower quality .. urs quite clear .. am happy to spend 150 or 200 but want to know which dash cam .. thank u
What make, model and spec is your camera? It's pretty good for £100. I am looking for one at the minute .
what camera you using? make model love the bit at 3.42
Actually also impressed by camera quality, what make is it?
Ta
7:38 Do you drive a snail ?
In any case good job avoiding a crash there.
Looks a nice little town! How's Trinity doing these days? Love to see you get back into the League again!
Only a century AND MORE of hurt! haha.
*anybody else actually live in gainsborough and this video was in their recommended and they’re spooped the hell out*
Radicaldude 89 yeah lmao
4:50 The highway maintaince was in the right here wasnt it?
Which dash cam are you using, it’s clear.
It’s great to put all of them together. And your dash cam is recoding very well. Can I ask which brand and mode of dashcam your video from?
@Matt Bridgett Can you link the camera you use?
I did 15000 miles in 2017, only passed in march last year, I haven't seen half as many idiots as you have, then again most of the time I ignore them.This video alone made me decide to buy a dash cam though.
Nice selection ...what dash cam do you use
Do they not require driver licenses in Gainsborough?
How are these small roundabouts even supposed to work? People always just seem to drive over the middle and get annoyed at the person coming from the left. Are they not supposed to go *around* the roundabout?
What is that songs at 1:43 pleaseee ☺️
From Saxilby. Nice to see some local roads. My mate`s chicken farm is on there with the wind turbine.
IDK how in britan but in my country u can't over take more then one car at the time.
In Britain it is fine to overtake more than one car at a given time as long as it is safe to do so which it was. The audi driver is at fault because he failed to look to make sure that no one else was overtaking. The Van driver could also have been charged with inconsiderate driving
@@thealmosthdchannel It's dangerous to take a long time overtaking many cars though. What if he didn't know the area and the road took a bend?
This is how people drive in Pakistan. Great dash cam footage. What make of camera is it?
"You've just made the list."
I'm gonna start using that phrase to people who annoy me in real life 😊
My phrase is "prizes will be handed out later " for bad driving 😂
The water balloon was the worst jump scare of my life
Ok so it turns out that Mr Todd Vickers is in fact a father. To two children. What a fantastic role model 👏👏👏
The person who threw the water ballon has probably seen your videos. Also, a new windscreen because water was thrown at it?! lol ok.
The speed they both were driving at would have increased the force of the balloon hitting. Gives it the potential to crack the windscreen.
He needs jail.
I guess it was less about the windscreen possibly being broken, more about obstructing the driver's vision. But I agree, I think everyone went a bit overboard on this one.
So they were like “ooh look that guy who does videos is 20 metres in front and coming towards us, let’s fill up this water ballon and throw it out the window and over the car at him” in less than a second
At 4:05 that’s donny (Doncaster) and ik cause I live in Doncaster and go that way quite a lot of times it’s a new road
Someone explain 4:05 did he not cut across a lane
Thats what I thought also.
Ah my god old town of Gainsborough.
What u driving bud ? Sounded raw
1:29 "a whole new level of idiots" :D I like that phrase
3:02 he's running to get the last bits of chicken at KFC before they run out! lol
What song is at 0:22
Your comment about the bird cracked me up. So funny.
Great clips here. I have two dash cams facing front and rear. As I live in the country I don’t get too many idiots. However I do drive into London and have some piece of mind. Great to know the police will use the footage.
I watched all the clips and still the one thought that stood out was 116 for petrol? Where was that?
These videos make my cholesterol sky rocket 🚀

What dashcam is this footage from?
Can you overtake more than one car in the UK?? It's illegal here in Portugal, you can't overtake more than one car at a time. Just curious =)
No, the laws of physics prevent you overtaking more than one car at a time, unless you have a very very long car, you're past one before you start passing the next.
More seriously, no rule against passing 200 if you can get past them safely without breaking any speed limits, chance to pass more than one doesn't arise often though. Cutting back in front of each would be both silly and dangerous.
2:32 they should make it so the turn right arrow (bottom unlit light) flashes so you know to proceed when clear only.
1:12 I applaud this guy for blasting “Dirty Laundry” by Nickelback and the guy blasting “What’s Wrong” by PVRIS at 2:30! ❤️

Just wondering, what dashcam are you using and where did you get it? Cheers.
I find this funny because we've had tossers cut us up in the exact same places

Mr Audi man should of heard that vtec coming.
So it is not only me who experiences some "seriously messed up drivers" when I drive in Gainsborough?
2.06 it’s a bus, yes they do cut corners funny that a very long vehicle that doesn’t bent in the middle more cut the corners
@ 3:00 You couldn't make it up, you couldn't make it up... then proceeded to drive on the wrong side of the road! :)
Looks like one helluva charming town!
