- Mike Rutherford is angry and ashamed at the dangerous planning of certain roads around the country and discusses the effects of such roads with Ted Clements - who's the road safety advisor for the institute of advanced motorists, former chief examiner of IAM and a former police officer.

Nobody is asking for lorries to take bends at 40. It’s called a limit. Not a necessity. Plus forget the speed limit, it’s more important to drive in accordance to the road conditions.
The speeds are set with good conditions in mind, so if it’s wet, icy, dark or there is limited visibility then you adjust your speed to match.
Apparently you haven´t heard about AUDI and BMW drivers.
It's not compulsory to drive at 60mph one should drive to the conditions of the road the max speed sign is not an order. The female who died died from dangerous driving not because the road can be driven at 60...IT'S NOT A TARGET!
no like you littraly would crash if you drive 60 on there
There’s a street in Ayr recently built with NO PAVEMENT AND A 30 MPH ZONE WTF!!!!
BRITISH ROADS ARE JUST POT HOLES 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Drive to the conditions, raining go slower, corners slow down. You do tests for a reason there's no point having theory tests if you want to have speed limits at 20 for every hazard its up to the driver to drive carefully and keep alert not road signs and the Goverment.
The way the councils fix our roads is a disgrace throwing loose grit down and then jobs done 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️WTF
I got to visit England a few years ago, and I tend to agree. They're roads are rather tricky, to say the least, to drive. It's even worse if you're a pedestrian. The footpaths (sidewalks) are barely enough for one person walking, never mind two people walking side-by-side. I remember walking along a sidewalk with some friends on the outskirts of Plymouth, when I wanted to walk in front of the other person in front of me, so I had to step onto the road. That wasn't very smart of me. As soon as I did that, I felt something hit my arm. I wasn't hurt, but it did startle me. I remember saying *"bugger!"* before getting back onto the sidewalk. The roads aren't very wide in some places, nor are the sidewalks. Both need to be widened to make for safer and easier walking for pedestrian.
Lol imagine coming over here with your '77 Fleetwood and driving our rural roads or in a hummer 😂
+Driving MeCrazy I *can't* imagine. Good luck driving either on UK roads.
So far, the UK has been the only place in Europe I've visited.
So you never drove in south Africa then?
Well the UK roads are difficult when you drive a huge Rover P5B 😂
You should see the one slip road to join a motorway in Port Talbot
Mike demonstrates how dangerous the road is at 10:15 by very closely overtaking a cyclist while waving his hand around
Exactly lol
A66 is probably up there as worst. It had the best driving also from Keswick to cockermouth by Bass lake. Now cameras up and just one lane.
They cry wolf with 20 limits by often having them for no apparent reason and we don't know when to take them seriously.
That's Longfield Hill @10.15
what bout the cleaning, buddy ? I really appreciate ur work that totally brings awareness for the roads safety across the UK and in my opinion the highway maintenance crew must take a prompt action in order to fix the Britain's roads before any serious fatality takes place....thanks u all and yea plz " keep Britain green and spotless as much as it is possible
I was on this road in the 1920s honestly it’s not too bad, u jus gotta think right run
There is no need to speed,the roads should be looked at and upgraded
The problems are known - the problem is, as was then, there isn't the money to do the solutions !
...yet we can promise the EU 40 Billion+ for nothing. Disgusting that we do not spend more on our roads and improve safety.
The first two and a half minutes. The logical solution is to convert a section of the hard shoulder to a slip road. There are other places on motorways where the hard shoulder disappears for a short section, for example where a bridge is too narrow. The Southern England solution would be to install traffic lights.

60 mph / 96 kph limit on that road is madness, here in Sweden that road would have a speed limit of 60 kph / 37,5 mph or even less. Only 2+1 roads in Sweden have a 100 kph / 62 mph speed limit, motorways have 110 kph / ~70 mph. The national speed limit in Sweden is 70 kph / 44 mph outside dense populated areas.
05:20 Myself living on a street like that, there's no way that would be a 30 mph / 48 kph road here, that is max a 30 kph / ~19 mph road here.
The bypass is a228 Ratcliffe highway
Road users not expecting people to suddenly come out of right angles towards them 😂
The problem exists here in the USA. There are sidewalks that are way too narrow for two people to walk on, or even ride their bicycles on. They're not only too narrow, but they're angled in such a way to make walking difficult, if not impossible to safely do. If it was a neighbourhood street, it wouldn't be so bad, since the speed limit is around 20mph, and it'd be easier to stop, but on a busy stretch of road, where the speed limit is around 40 mph, it'd be way too dangerous.
it's illegal to ride a push bike on a pavement in UK. They are all on the roads, no matter high viz on or off, lights on or off same as reflectors and of course seriously taking person or a complete crackhead on a £10 rusty bike wobbling side to side
I went to these roads tho..
DVSA guidance I'm guessing has changed since then as you are no longer taught to drive to the speed limit, but rather the conditions of the road around you. Some people take that wrong though and argue they should be able to do 70mph in a 60 and 90 on a dual carriageway which is bonkers because they clearly don't understand physics. No brakes would be able to save you from a higher speed collision and the reaction time given when people don't abide by the 2 second rule as you see nearly everyone doing is extremely limited. Human reaction times just aren't good enough. Then you see people argue that there are worse drivers able to legally drive just as fast as them and think they deserve that extra speed which is just pure arrogance.
Not safe.
Most of today's drivers treat posted speeds as a target, not a limit.
Forget what they’re saying.. Just look how the traffic is flowing.. in 2024 if only😮
So this guy is doing a dangerous roads video and he parks his car on a sharp left hand bend, puts his hazards on, and sits there, talking about him doing 15-20mph and a child on a bike going into him.
Park your car up in a safe place, get out and film it, safely.
Look at his windscreen it's filthy slight bit of sunlight on that and he won't be able to see
@@chesneyhawkes5052 first thing I thought lol.
Always remember: It’s a limit, not a target. Don’t feel obligated to drive at the limit, drive at the speed you’re comfortable with :)
Mike Rutherford is a pioneer of road safety, 20mph is not that ridiculous. Bloody 40Es doing 40 in a built up area then doing 40 on a straight B with road national speed limit.
CLEAN YOUR WINDSCREEN!!!
Dangerous
Speed is 136 mph at Pakistan
ahsanimam73 don't you mean km?
I doubt many cars on the road x are capable of doing this.
I'm was hits by a cars on them same road as mine house. I braiks 3 rib and broke my leg.
"She died because the speed limit is wrong." No, she died because she chose to drive too fast for the conditions. Unfortunately there is a tendency in the UK to blame anyone except the driver after a fatal road accident, and an even worse tendency to accuse people of victim blaming even in cases when the victim was in fact entirely responsible for their demise. If people don't learn from mistakes, they just keep making the same ones over and over again, with the same results.
That’s a lot of guesswork on your part
Pakistans driving crazy
