I do respect you Ashley for continuing to use a sponsor that most of your audience will benefit from - I don't see many TH-camrs actually use sponsors relevant to the channel, so great job!
Vehicles that have been owend and operated by the police forces will also not have MOT history
I assume the lorry was checking the bridge height. Couldn't see any signage for the height on the approach so being hesitant until you are sure is good practice.
Good spot.
I thought the driver may just have been looking at the lights further ahead, but I guess the bridge height idea makes more sense.
@@aveekbh I think both are a valid point. I noticed he went as soon as those other lights went green, but it may have been a coincidence and he'd just confirmed the bridge height was OK and decided to go at the same time. I'm also not sure how the bridges work over there. Where I am all bridges are a minimum height or else they have clear signange. We still have trucks hitting low bridges, but they're clearly marked. So here if it isn't marked and you're under "regular" height, you have no concerns, but that may not be the case in the UK.
Yes but then he should put hazards on and pulled to inside lane
Unmarked bridges are at least 16' 6"
For me. The reason you follow "rules" like not cutting corners is that there will come a day when you make a mistake in doing so.
And then, they'll make it your fault for "not looking left"
And even though you're confident you can overlook the whole corner or junction, one day that bad habit kicks in when you can't. That day you haven't slept well, are a bit ill, are a bit preoccupied with the game you're listening to on the radio, etc...
Always keep in mind that pretty much every person that's gotten into an accident from a poor emerge, overtake or turn probably thought it would probably be fine.
Few people who get into collisions actually think that it will happen before making the manoeuvre that helps cause it.
How do you pass parked cars without colliding with oncoming traffic.
@@user10184 Frequently. Well, always, actually...
It's pretty clear now that no-one is afraid of being caught by the police for minor traffic infringements. The few traffic police left after the downsizing over the last 30 years (replaced by cameras) either don't care or are too busy with more serious crimes. Which is a shame, since most big crimes begin with small ones and enforcing small laws does have a knock-on effect.
People get away with it, because even when there is a police officer in a marked car, they don't do anything! Seen them so many times do sweet FA when I've seen dangerous driving.
@@BintyMcFrazzles That's because of another branch of Government doing jack: the Crown Prosecution Service. There's not really much point in charging anyone when the CPS keeps throwing all the cases out because they can't be bothered to prosecute.
It's a trickle down effect from higher up the chain, unfortunately the police get all the stick for it, and not just their part of the stick, because they're the public-facing obvious target for people's anger.
You can see it on cop TV shows even. Like Traffic Cops or Road Wars or whatever is on now. The police arrest the people on those shows, then at the end the Narrator goes "The CPS rejected the case" or, even worse, "the criminal got a sentence of 1 day suspended sentence" or some other BS light sentence. The Courts System is failing, and it's making everything else fail.
At least the driver at 2:00 hasn’t got too far to travel to get their wheel alignment done 😁
won't be a good job though 🤣
I once gave my key to a mechanic and he crashed my car in a similar way (luckily only scratching my bumper, but hitting another car)
@@barrieluiwe can’t call them mechanics at that shop😅
It'd be interesting to know whether that was the owner driving the vehicle or one of QF's 'fitters',
Because we all know, 'you can't get thicker than a Quickfit Fitter'
@@Galerak1My first thought! And if it were the employee, did they 'fess up?!
😂 That expression of unsurprised disappointment as several people run a red light. Chin up Ash. Plenty of us have vastly improved our driving habits as a result of your videos. Thank you.
9:33 Is he checking whether he can pass the bridge?
Correct
But according to ash he just wasn't paying attention 😂😂😂
Some people need a Rally co-driver style navigation: 'Next right 2 DON'T CUT, straight 5 into narrows over bridge SLOW, stop at sign then 3 left, and 2 right into carpark SLOW then full stop into available space.'
I love the "stop at sign" in the middle 😂
I wonder if the reason that van driver was driving so close behind was because he's subconsciously racing to get to the stop in traffic faster so that he can focus on his phone.
That's often the case!
@ 9.45, that bridge looks lower than it is from a distance, maybe the driver was checking his height and looking for signs on the bridge.
Good shout.
My thought too. It looked fairly tight.
Nooo, ash said he wasn't paying attention 😂
You're absolutely spot on! He did it whilst also having options (before a junction).
That clip at 4:54 is a common occurrence for us bus drivers. people see a bus and want to get ahead of it, even if they're not even going to travel in the same direction. I had a car jump out of a junction right in front of the nose of my bus just to go the other direction (completely crossing my path). I had to emergency brake. luckily I had no passengers on, otherwise somebody could have been seriously injured. the mentality of "I must go before the bus" is horrifically dangerous.
Same as the gotta get in front of the learner mentality, or gotta overtake the cyclist. People hate being around slower vehicles that may potentially cause small delays to their journey.
It's the same thing with semi trucks. Must always be in front of the big slow scary semi. Don't care that they deliver all of your stuff so you can live.
But surely everybody knows that if you follow a bus it means you have a small willy?
Why is there no seatbelts on busses? Could the passenger sue the bus network if they sustain injuries because there werent any seatbelts?
@@jessebourgelas8811its the same with motorcyclists
i love it when ppl get the ash death stare, can you do a compilation?
I’m a particular fan of the ‘pursed lips shake of the head’!
Big well done to Jordan for passing. Also Well done to the girl with glasses. I'm sure her nerves shot up after a car just pulled out in front of her but she reacted quickly, calmly and handled the situation as you said brilliantly.
HGV in 9:20, maybe they were checking their height before going under the bridge, giving themselves an option to turn left if they were too tall?
The problem with the 4 S's is that I pulled out when there was easily enough space to the next car that I could safely walk across, so thought pull out was fine. That next car proceeded to speed up way beyond the limit and may well have been 'swearing', that I had 'cut them up'. 🙄
You’re not responsible for the other 3 S’s though. Stupid Selfish Sods
The look on some drivers faces when you pull up to a junction and they have to turn right properly is hilarious. Some people look absolutely disgusted that you dare to be on your side of the road! 😂
I always go right to the edge 😂
Congratulations Jordan, well done on passing 🎉🎉
And we know he'll be a quality driver.
As I always start by saying since developing epilepsy I can no longer drive. But I am, and was, amazed at the risks people would take for themselves and others for the sake of 30 seconds of a journey time.
I assume that police van didn't see the driver, but it was also possible that the van was on its way to a more serious incident. Not all police officers are trained to go around with lights and sirens, but are still expected to attend calls. As you can expect, this is mostly down to a lack of funds to not only hire enough officers but also to provide further training once they are hired (like advanced driving courses etc.)
May even be a civilian or PCSO driving, they do have to pass an additional test before the chief constable grants them permission to drive a liveried car but they don't have to be an officer.
@@andyalder7910 Whether a "basic driver" gets any practical assessment beyond a driving licence and eyesight check is a matter of policy for individual forces. Some do require a practical assessment before permitting the driving of police vehicles, some don't. It is now very rare that "basic" drivers get any additional training and again, that's a matter for individual force policy.
Being a van it could also be transporting a prisoner to custody. It never "looks" good at face value when the police appear to ignore something right in front of them but there can be all sorts of reasons for it as you've mentioned.
Very effective speed bumps at 4:40. We have the same here - they're basically useless unless you have the car heavily loaded, when they scratch the underside no matter what you do.
They are probably too effective for a normal small car, and totally ineffective for large wide-track vehicles. I do wonder whether try are a reason people drive oversized SUVs these days.
The amount of people that just came out the road on left without looking and nearly hit people on zebra crossing at 1:10 was crazy when I used to live around there. And it was just a pub carpark not a block of flats on corner then.
8:49 one boy racer is all it would take and game over.
Really like your style of teaching. Yes, you tell them off when they dont get it right, but equally when they do well you are on it and giving credit where deserved. That moment at about 10:00 is a tricky junction for any driver, let alone a learner. The T junction is blocked by parked cars and it is possible to have a car jump out on you (I assume if you cant see them, they cant see you). Your pupil was driving at a nice speed and was obvioulsy ready to take action if and when needed, which she did. Nice job of teching there.
I LOVE the video format and the Rear, cockpit, front.
I passed my test a few months ago, but haven't yet got a car. So seeing content in this way, is really helping to highlight weaker areas whiles shop around.
I passed my test first time in May, 1966 in a driving school car. After the paperwork, my instructor drove me to my house. I was reminded of this by the view here of Jordan after his test. (Well done, Jordan.)
My question is, why do instructors drive newly qualified drivers? Do they think we are about to go "demob happy" and cause accidents? Are the cars only insured for pre-test learners? Do the instructors think that they lose authority when their pupils pass their test? I'd like to know the official explanation.
It's cos the person who just passed is probably coming down from an adrenaline high and in the best case is at well below 100% attention, and in the worst case might become light-headed and/or faint.
When i got home after passing my test (dropped off by the instructor), the first thing i did was spill coffee all over the pass certificate cos i was physically weak and shaking a bit.
That was my experience in 1980. I'm sure it was to allow me to decompress after the stress of the test.
In my country it would actually be illegal as you do not have your actual license yet, but if I am correct this is not true in the UK as you are allowed to drive directly after the test. So I think you assumption about insurance is correct.
@@ronrolfsen3977 Insurance isn't an issue at all.
It is all about emotions and it doesn’t matter if it is a pass or fail, the instructor will drive the pupil to where they need to go
If it is a fail, the pupil will feel low and only thinking about the failure, what went wrong and why? Why did I fail? This potentially leads to a lack of concentration on the road
If it is a pass, congratulations 👍 however you are on a high and so full of happy emotion that you potentially wont concentrate on the road ahead when driving
The key point in both is the potential lack of concentration, all caused by emotional stress and exaggerated by adrenaline 👍
Insurance wise there is no issue as the vehicle and instructor should already be insured to have anybody (license and vision permitting) in the drivers seat under tuition
9:50 just realised that Ashley’s car is “Wet British Grass Green” colour by comparing it with the wet British grass on the side next to the stopped lorry.
I think we all decided some time back that the name for that colour is ASBO Green.
Erm, we call it "British Summer", officially...
Well done Jordan. Happy driving!
15:04 - I feel for Jordan. Just passed his test and now isn't allowed to drive home in the car that he got so familiar with. Would have felt like a victory round!
At least that was how I felt when I was in the exact same situation many years ago.
I was thinking about ripping off my L plates & throwing them away, so my mind would clearly not have been on the road. I was better off in the passenger seat.
Looking forward to viewing this later at home. Greetings from Grand Designs Live at London Excel. Visiting this show on the way back from another event yesterday. Namely RHS Malvern Spring Festival which was huge and excellent. The surrounding rolling green hills almost felt like a scaled down version of the mountains around my other homeland of Vancouver or indeed areas of Washington state across the border. Driving a rental car this weekend as mine has a minor error message issue, "Engine Malfunction, Acceleration Reduced". Rental car is a Nissan Juke which isn't my kind of car at all. For one thing, absolutely hate the hill hold feature, even though it's an automatic. Can't wait to be back in my 5 speed 2009 Ford Focus Titanium, which will be rectified this Tuesday with an easy fix. Didn't realize what a great car I own until I drove a modern day rental. Safe driving all...and no cutting corners!
greetings from west. we're going to be taking off around lunch to start the trip to visit her mum. flying this year, so we'll also be in a rental car.
New subscriber! Absolutely love your videos, keep up the great work of keeping people safe on the road
Your training teaches much more than simple car control and high way code / manners. You effectively pass on a very observant advanced technique and skill needed in traffic clogged up with drivers not paying attention anymore.
I think every driver should be re- examined every 5 years and HGV every 2- 3 years.( medical, eye, hazard testing)
I hear lots of negativity towards re-tests, (lack of examiners, long waits for tests) but I believe that, if managed correctly, these can all be addressed.
The real reason for the negativity is that many drivers know they would fail because they are poor & really don't care. The legislation would be unlikely to be introduced because it would be a huge vote-loser for any government who introduces it.
I support this 100%. And, for what it's worth, I passed my test 48 years ago, but I see so many who have not kept up with modern signage, or kept their roadcraft skills up to date (if they ever had any). I agree - the barrier is the political will - selling safer roads to people by making them recognise their deficiencies and then do something about it is never going to be a vote winner.
I bet the rising insurance costs at some point will require some stricter assessment of the risk= the private driver. In our company, [ self insured company] we get a driving assessment every year ( internal company driving trainers / assessors / HGV). I did medical examinations of professional drivers and for Dvla before. But it should be done by GP who has access to ALL MEDICAL NOTES of applicants. Too many financial interests and government incompetence in UK
One thing I could never be is a driving instructor. Keep up the good work Ashley!
You make an interesting point after you said, "Right in front of the police." And, "There is no deterrant". Because the police don't do a damn thing when they see dangerous driving. I've seen so many drivers do so many dangerous things, especially on the motorway; like middle lane hogging and tail gating right in front of police cars and the police just don't do anything.
(I've been meaning to get a dashcam for a few years now, but your videos have motivated me to get one fitted).
Well done, Jordon!
That lorry was deffo checking his height Vs the bridge height
Nice compilation Ashley 💪
Just joined your channel and it has been very informative. Lots of hints here even for people like me who have been driving relatively safely for over 25 years. I would love someone to come on a journey with me and pick up on my bad habits. I am definitely a more observant and careful driver than I was in my 20s.
*The most brilliant channel on TH-cam!*
I'd be interested to know if the cars in the first clip went straight on after going through the red light.
These sorts of people go out to the overtaking lane just in case.
Love the look on ya face when the car came out of the side road right in front of your pupil (time stamp 9:55). Least she did well and turned it into a none event ;)
HGV checking the bridge height?
Congratz, Jordan! Nice work, mate!
Was the hesitant HGV driver checking his clearance height against the bridge height before continuing? It did seem pretty strange...
Your student at 10:10 may well have implemented the 5th S.
Great job! 👌🏻
have you seen the new amendments to the highway code?
apparently traffic lights and road markings are now "optional" so long as one or more of the following applies:
- you are in a hurry
- you are driving finest German engineering
- you are on two wheels, this includes vehicles with more turning sharply
- you "identify" as being important
- you find such rules and restrictions triggering and oppressive
this is in addition to the exemption vans and overseas registered vehicles have previously had
the changes are easy to spot, they are in green crayon
You forgot the one about taxis and private hire vehicles being allowed to drive partly, or wholly, on the pavement
@cmartin_ok That was already in there and comes before all other rules. I do believe it is on the inside cover of the Highway Code in faded red biro 😉
Last clip is standard procedure at that junction I have found, had a few close calls with people shooting up the inside there and going straight on. I would say it is partially due to the junction being oddly set up, but it is mostly due to impatience and total disregard for anyone but themselves.
That stretch in Stockbridge is murder for impatient drivers because of all the consecutive traffic calming measures ironically sending them into a rage.
Great set of clips as always. Would the close following silver van at 5:19 onwards be driving like that if it was a member of their own family learning to drive in the car in front?
regarding the vehicle reversing out of the quick fit: my mother once broke her passenger side mirror by backing into a utility pole. I did give her flak about not using the mirror.
I like the fourth “S” - swear 😊 I’m gonna use that 👌🏻
I see a lot of people cutting corners where I live and honestly I do it sometimes while turning right into a smaller road with no oncoming traffic. It can *sometimes* be safer to do so as it means you lose the risk of being rear ended while stopped, but it's definitely a bad habit of mine that I need to stop :D
If you feel you're in danger of being rear ended slow down earlier and more gradually, signal before you brake not at the same time, more warning = lowered risk
@@WiseOldBill Yep, I do all that and thanks for the feedback!
As I mentioned, cutting the corner is a bad habit I (sometimes) do, not something that's actually safer!
Interestingly, there seems to be a complete contrast between the two views on slowing down / stopping on a bike. Many "cyclists" I see are always claiming that "it's much safer to go through a red light than to risk being rear ended"... Obviously I completely disagree as but, but it's interesting that different people have completely different views on this!
I will definitely try to stop this bad habit in the future, it's also part of my "fear of holding people up" - I don't want people stuck behind me while I'm turning right!
Anyway, I completely agree with what you've said!
The best bit of advise my father gave me back in the early 90s was if you cant see the bottom of the vehicles wheels in front of you when stationery you are too close.
With the clip at around 7:40 with the Audi using the left-turn lane to go straight on, it is clearly a common trick at this junction - as Ashley predicted it happening. It seemed that the majority of the traffic in the right lane were turning right, so drivers in the left lane are hedging their bets that hardly anyone is going straight on (or will just be stuck in a queue of right-turners), so can pull off the cheeky move without too much drama. So it does raise the question about whether the lane markings are really suitable for that junction. Maybe the left-lane should be left and straight-on, and the right-lane should be right-only?
Hi Ash, I recently bought my first manual car and I'm struggling a bit in a few areas, mainly hill starting and slowing down for a turn when in a higher gear.
Could you consider making a video on manual driving with a camera showing your foot work? I understand there are other channels that have made videos on the subject but none come close explaining things in as much detail as you.
No worries if you can't fit it into your pipeline.
Thank you!
On the first clip with the on-coming cars seemingly jumping a red light - it is possible their lights were still green. I've seen a few junctions where the lights in the opposite direction don't turn red at the same time. Although if that junction is a regular haunt for Ashley he might be more familiar with the light phasing there.
1:35
This clip opens with a radio advertisement about road safety. Oh, the irony.
Corner-cutting is probably in my all-time Top Five of "annoying habits of drivers".
Because it is just that - a habit. It tends to be done at junctions which are usually quiet. One day there will be a car there & the corner cut will cause a collision.
00:10, if this is going near side to near side it entices traffic behind to jump the lights. If you go half way across the junction the traffic behind can back space for oncoming traffic to turn. I also think offside to offside gives better visibility, problem is when one driver goes offside to offside and the oncoming driver goes nearside to nearside. 2:10, good example of rubber necking. 9.21, why honk the horn, do we know what is in front of the lorry or was the honk for pedestrians?
My instructor's massive pet peeve, people cutting corners big time And that first clip where it turned red but the last 2-3 cars still went anyway.
0:45 everyone is queueing in one lane whereas Ashley can go almost straight up to the lights.
I see this soo often (usually in the inside lane) and soo often I rejoice they all make way for me being the first to pass the junction, leaving all traffic behind me :)
Can't believe small public service vehicles don't need a current MoT! Here in NZ they have to have a current test to a stricter set of guidelines, a Certificate of Fitness rather than a Warrant of Fitness required by private passenger vehicles.
Had to double check TH-cam hadn't suggested an older video from the first clip. Things never change
Thanks to your pupils for letting you use the videos.
I seem to recall from another video you were getting a motorcycle. As a fellow rider I'd love to see footage from you riding to show the way traffic deals with you differently.
do those lights sequence at the same time though, in the first clip. been confused by the light's by me as they recently been changed so they cycle to red for one side LONG (and i mean uncomfortably so) before the other side does. never used to so I got on with getting ready to move off the first time only to have people still comming at me. wasnt till I crept up enough I could see one of the repeater lights still showing green I worked it out.
Looking at the green light for cars on the road that Ashley turned into I would say they change at the same time
I know what you mean though with one side going red before the other. We have a junction near me that it could be either side going red first depending upon what the sensors have picked up along the road or both at the same time. We now play “traffic light lottery” when using that junction
@@smilerbob ahhh yeh didnt catch that, i really need a break 70hr weeks do wild things to mind and perception.
yeh the lights by me are the same.. have always been rotating by sensor. but they did work on them recently (no mention of changing of layout or sequence) but bam we got a new road layout and now the lights stagger wildly, after mad disruptions from the works................. didnt bother with the horrible pot holes and exposed ironworks in the crossroads though....
to be fair the layout isnt an issue as everyone used the road as if that layout was there anyway, they just painted lines in.
@@Gazzxy I hear you on that one, I once though a lorry was coming straight towards me from a motorway sliproad, at a 90 degree angle to t-bone me. It was at that point I realised I needed an extra hour sleep after my nightshift so pulled off the next exit into the services
I have seen councils mess up signage after junction improvements where “New Road Layout” actually means “We have changed the light timings for everyone” and “Signal Priority Changed” means “We have added an extra lane but left the lights as they were”
Gotta keep us road users on our toes I suppose 😉
Take care out there 👍
10:00 - I had this exact same car do this to me over the water!!!
Cutting the corners of junctions is commonplace here.
As someone in the side road approaching the stop or give way line, you need to be checking to the left for people who are about to swing across from the other road.
@2:10 Ashley really should be paying attention to the road in front
I visited over there in 1985 and was amazed how courteous (like moving over to the verge to allow an overtake) drivers were (not like here in California). Has this really gotten as bad as you now show?
So for the 4 S's. What if you are trying to turn left right they have to stop and wait for me to find a gap to get on to the correct side of the road. But if I continued to wait and traffic backed up behind me I would then be making the people behind me swear because I'm waiting for a gap on both sides of the road before going. Which could take upwards of 5-10 minutes in rush hour traffic.
at 9:30 may have been the case that the lorry driver was making sure of the vertical clearance of the bridge
Ashley just curious is it very expensive on insurance for learners on your ST? Sorry if you’ve spoken about this in the past
Great video as usual
My ST is about £1600 to insure this year. It was £930 last.
10:22 I think the cyclist was going to wait, they did briefly before the right turn lights went red, only problem is they assumed both sets turned red when only the right turn lanes did
2:03 - don't you mean "...silver vehicle reversing *into* the Kwik-Fit sign on the RHS..."? 😉
11:34 - Audiot strikes again!
15:50 - Followed by psychic Ashley!
Thanks for the laugh at 08:49 Ashley. That face said it all!
Like my face would have reacted as well. Just as well I don't play poker: if I did, I would be as bad as a dog with two tails.
Personally at 1:40 I would have checked my mirrors and not moved off at all. I think you were looking at your radio maybe? I think it just shows how easy it can be to be distracted from driving, even in a minor way. You were clearly in control and switched on, just saying there might be room to improve? That being said, once you had seen them you held back. Cyclist clearly had a death wish though. End of the day I would much rather play it safe than risk anything. Another great video Ashley
09:40 was the lorry being extra cautious and checking if he could make it under the upcoming bridge or just dozing/phoning?
Not sure about the 4 Ss. On busy roads, sometimes you have to move in from a junction even if someone has to slow down a bit or you never get out. I never get upset if someone does this. Also, if someone was out of sight when you moved into a lane, then appears moving rapidly, it is their responsibility to slow down as needed - they need to be able to stop in the space the can see, so there should never be a problem. Theoretically. And obviously you need to be able to move into a road where there appears to be no traffic.
Insurers might need this clip Ashley for the accident at around 02:15!
15:00 Congrats Jordan!
I was told, many years ago, (and I can't vouch for the accuracy) that causing another road user to change speed or direction was basically the way to define "driving without due care and attention".
I've always wondered if corner cutting was against the highway code? Personally I do it sometimes but only on junctions where you can see 100% that there is nothing coming or could possibly be coming. Sadly this simple logic seems to evade a lot of drivers and therefore makes it into my top three pet peeves.
That truck at 9:40 looks like he's had tuinnel vision through the lights at the intersectioin he stopped at, and was focused on the next intersection, near the bridge ahead.
the lorry was probably checking paperwork for the height of his truck and trailer to see if he can get under the bridge , but really its something he should know before driving but many neglect it untill they need to know
I always thought the govt Mot history checker was useful..however recently while looking at car gurus online they had a used car with Mot at 34k miles..the next one was 74k then next at 54k then 60k then 34k..i emailed the DVLA who advised its not a legal requirement to notedownthe correct mileage..just advice to anyone who thinks the mileage is accurate.. not always
Corner cutting really does me in.. There's a junction by my house I use every day but not a lot of people turn right out of it, so people coming in always cut. The amount of times I've nearly had my car hit as I get to the junction is insane. I've been spat on and all sorts when I honk at the person who were inches away from hitting me. So many people are just too lazy to slow down a bit and turn in properly... Don't even start me on mini roundabout cutters.. How can people honestly prefer to jump over it, or go round the other side instead of just go round it properly?
14:07 "No deterrent". Absolutely. IMO that's why driving standards seem to plumb new depths every day.
Been watching for a while now and accent is puzzling me, you sound like your from Stoke or Liverpool. Love the videos. PS you sound a bit like Eddie Hall!
4:36 such an effective speed bump
if you have learnt to drive with Ashley and passed your test all in Liverpool, you are probably some of the best and safest drivers on the road today!
As you pointed out there is no penalty for ignoring the rule of the road.
although i think some of our own driving standards have declined , i also think some of it is due to foreign drivers coming here and still allowed to drive on the licence they got in their own country without taking a uk test . i dont know how long they can drive on their original licence from their country but wouldnt it be a good idea if they had to take a uk test if they plan to live here and not just a tourist
That Kwik-Fit sign looked pretty battered already.
Well done Jordan
That scooter was really pissing you off 😂 then you realised you where faster ,so you got a smug look then the traffic bunched and the pissed off look came back
Was the hesitant lorry driver at 9:20 worried about the height of the bridge?
At 10:09 what was that terrifying structure at the end of the road? Sent a shiver down my spine seeing that 😟
I'm guessing it's Anfield football stadium?
@@davem9204 🤭👍
I'm guessing these are selected clips from many hours out on the road
It does give the impression that Liverpool is lawless though.
interesting PoV - I enjoyed that. Not a car driver myself, but I do ride a motorcycle: so, very aware of surroundings on the road. The quality of road use is terrible - as is the quality of the roads, hah.
As a side note, I find the majority of drivers quite respectful towards myself riding me motor.
9:18 - Lorry driver poss looking at the lights the other side of the bridge? Seems to go again when those turn green.
We owed a car from new 2017, that had the wrong registration on it from the dealership, it was one digit out, mileage wasn’t recorded until 2020 at its first MOT, carvertical would probably highlight a mileage discrepancy. For the first three years.
Ashley what's your take on people overtaking and doing 30-40mph on 20mph roads?
I'm a fairly new driver so I stick to the speed limits but there's one stretch of road that's 20mph and people seem to bomb down it and get angry at me for doing the 20mph limit, I mean I get it 20mph is so slow but, worth breaking the law? No deterrant I guess.
Some 20 zones are over-zealous
