DELTA'S Are NOT Taxis.....Get it Right !!!
Have a look at their website? deltataxis.net/
@@ashley_neal I Don't Need to Mate They are a Sefton Private Hire Company, I Drove a Liverpool Taxi ( Hackney Cab )) For 44 Years before I Retired !!
Grandfather rights don’t mean you are correct. Have a look at the dictionary definition (A motor-vehicle license to transport passengers in return for payment of a fair and typically fitted with a taximeter), or perhaps that’s wrong because you say so?
@@ashley_neal O.K Look at Hackney Carriage Law,Delta are breaking the Law by Advertising themselves as TAXIS..Which they do on their Website,Please DON'T Try to tell me ANYTHING About Taxis..& I Won't Tell you how to teach people how to drive.....
@@alanbrown2538 The company themselves say taxi in the link, that's before looking at the website. I think you're wrong here.
That cat has more common sense than most people
He has "purr"fect road sense
Wouldn't surprise me if it has followed it's owners doing the same thing many times and just learnt the path, and that sometimes cars will stop and wait for some reason.
Reminds me of one I had in my taxi many years ago... Driving passenger up a busy urban street, I approach a zebra crossing. Cat emerges from a garden, turns, matches five yards down the road to the aforementioned, stops, looks and marches across the crossing to enter garden the other side as I, and a car coming the other way, lift off the throttle. Passenger goes, " I'm in a taxi 'cos I'm pissed; but did I just see a cat using a zebra crossing?"
"You did, sir, and I have to say it made a better job of it than some humans I've seen!"
@@mikethecabbie8476 that must have been a real trip for the passenger lmaooo. I wouldn't even know what to believe at that point. I'd probably write the whole night off as someone spiking my drink😂
@@CheapskateMotorsports Given that the images have stuck with me over 20yrs, made one hell of an impression on me too!
I've lived and worked since 1983 in Manchester, Liverpool, Derby, London, Surrey, Nottingham, Leicester, Cumbria, Devon, Darlington, Selby and a few more places, Taxi drivers have consistently been amongst the worst drivers on the roads in all these locations, the notion that they are somehow professional drivers is a joke.
Honestly I’m surprised the video is only 15 minutes! Could have been about a week long’ 🤣🤣
Your country needs RED LIGHT CAMERAS 📸 In Australia we have them everywhere & the fines are huge!
I watch a lot of Australian dash cams and they suffer the same thing of people running red lights. We have red light cameras too, but not on enough lights.
Red light cameras with 20 mm auto canons :}
We do have some, but usually someone has to die at a junction before funds are made available. Also there is great resistance to any form of traffic camera over here. People seem to think their freedom on the road and their right to 'bend' the rules come ahead of other people's safety.
city*
down in london theyre everywhere :)
I worked for a company that made red light cameras. Councils didn't want them.
How to get a job as a taxi driver:
Step 1: Turn up to interview
Step 2: Hired!
you forgot STEP 3 Be a selfish brain dead numbskull......
Always be on the phone to distant relatives, never listen to customers, mustn't be able to speak English, only be able to hear and understand when customer asks how much.
If you look in the back of the highway code in very small print on the last page is a sentence saying "none of the rules or procedures in this book relate in any way whatsoever to taxi drivers who are herefore registered to do what they want on the public highway".
This was a joke of my uncle who was 15 years a traffic cop, but the more I see taxi drivers the more I realise it's not really a joke, just a statement of fact.
The intelligence in these comments truly is astounding
"Turn up 15 minutes late for interview.
Bloody hell! Paused the video where the Audi was reverse parking to type my previous comment. On going back to your video i notice the car on the left! Toddler just sat in the boot of the car unrestrained while the adult is doing something inside the car. Wouldn't take many seconds for the toddler to get out and run into the road! Why take such risks? Absolutely insane!
I'll apologise now if this has already been commented on.
You need to send that footage of the truck jumping red lights to the archold company before he/she kills someone. People like that shouldn't be driving HGV's.
I sent the clip to them and they said none of their trucks have ever been to Liverpool !( as far as they know!)www.google.com/maps/place/Archbold+Truck+Service/@41.571495,-84.307893,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x3452d727eb447ffe!8m2!3d41.571495!4d-84.307893

To many of them think like that, same thoughts are found in taxis control rooms.
Sam Green That link is in America?
Ive been watching your channel now for a good few month and I’ve been passed now 7 years, watching your videos it makes me realise I’m a shit driver (BMW Driver too) 🤣. The more I watch the more sensible I’m becoming on the road. I’m really glad I found your channel. There is a lot to learn even 7 years later. I now start to plan ahead instead of just charging forward into the situation, and give people plenty of room. Thanks to you Ashley. Keep up the good work!
Did I miss the promotion where they gave away driving licenses in cerial boxes?
Cerial ?
@@roadsafegb8740sorry, my bad smelling. Should have been cereal.
@intempify clearly they have forgotten how an forgotten the rules.
Scariest thing as a motorcyclist is seeing a London Taxi in the lane to your left pull a U turn in front of you. Happens all the time unfortunately. I'm glad to see it didn't happen in this video, it gives me hope.
Happened to me 45 years ago. Plus ca change...
A couple of weeks ago I was behind a cyclist on a curving road, couldn't see if there was any oncoming traffic due to the bend (a 50 mph road) so I waited a few minutes until I could see it was safe to overtake, but all the while a taxi behind me was tailgating and getting agitated.
I could finally see a clear road, indicated and started pulling out - at the same time the taxi pulled out without indicating and attempted a double overtake of me and the cyclist. It was a bit hairy for a moment but I managed to overtake safely and he pulled back in behind me (honestly not sure who was in the wrong here), but now he was pissed off, tailgating, flashing, gesticulating to pull over, he followed me for about 3 miles before he got bored and turned off - but the worst part he had an elderly passenger in the seat next to him!
I watched a taxi last night overtake a cyclist in the right hand lane to turn left inches ahead of the cyclist! They have no care for anything other than making money! They should all have tachometer’s installed to keep an eye on them.
@intempify It was an old dear! But your point might still stand xD
@@scottlaaa You ask me they let anyone with a licence drive a taxis these days, the stupider the better i reckon. I have had some real thick ones driving me some places.
Sounds like he was in the wrong, you and the cyclist were in front so had priority. This kind of behaviour is dangerous
Highway code and theory test say to increase the gap between you and the vehicle in front if tailgated - a bicycle is a vehicle, so that's what I would have done, which would have meant going even slower. That's what I do, and just ignore the gesticulating or stick a quick middle finger up - don't recommend that, better to be calm - and then ignore them.
14:10 Lol then goes right into the bike box, which you can get fined for. It's not an optional advance stop zone. Typical of taxis in my experience.
@intempify Look up cyclegaz on TH-cam. If you approach a red light and enter the bike box you can be fined for it. As you said the only excuse is if you were waiting to turn or can't stop in time.
3 points and a hundred quid for being too much of a bellend to face pulling off from 2m back.
@intempify if a cyclist is pulling that shit they should be fined, its dangerous and basically the same as skipping a red. 30 years on a bike as my main transport and everytime I saw a mamil pull thos shit I'd develope another tic. It does you no good annoys drivers and pedestrians, makes people hate cyclists and puts the rest in danger
I know this thread is a year old but I just googled it and it said this:
Cycle stop boxes are NOT legally enforceable, no points or fines can be levied against a vehicle entering or using one. Therefore they are NOT illegal.
@@David_Trowbridge they are, Rule 178 is "must" not "should"
The first time I learned to drive with my mum a couple of weeks ago, I got beeped in a tesco car park for driving too slowly, bearing in mind I had my magnetic "L" plates on.
I passed my test but still watch these videos for entertainment. 😂
Maybe you should rephrase your comment. “I watch this channel to educate and make me a better driver.😀
Last week I was on a dual carriageway (40mph speed limit) and at not one but two sets of red lights one car just shot off doing about 60, and then proceeded to wait at the next set of lights a little while longer when I caught up with him. I presume the same thing happened at the next set of lights but I turned and he didn't so I can't be sure. At the final set of lights before I turned, I clearly saw him on his phone, and ironically took longer to move because he was on his phone - not in such a hurry then!
His logic was probably,,,,
if I get to that red light faster I'll have longer to sit using my phone safely ,,,
!!!
I tend to find taxi drivers let me out of tough junctions more than regular drivers, I notice they often flash vans trucks and buses out too. Everyone seems to hate on them but i find the ones on Merseyside and Wirral very courteous.
oh i really join you on watching out for taxis. i have been made to do sudden stops by taxis so much, once was almost pushed over on my motorbike because in a traffic jam a taxi had to get past me in the same lane i was already in and had been for a while.
You have tons of speed cameras and yet everyone just drives past red lights. Maybe they should change the priorities. A red light at night where you may miss a pedestrian is worse than speeding on the motorway
At 5.34 the driver had moved well before the green light is on, it s only at red and amber which is be prepared to proceed. A green light does not mean go, it means proceed only if clear to do so, the driver should have waited, so both drivers are in the wrong.
I think you’re being a bit harsh “well before” literally moves as the lights change and the silver car was supposed to stop for the red it jumped and not do a u turn like it did.
scottlaaa 1984 Highway Code, you have to wait until the light is green , only proceed if clear to do so, had the waited they would’ve seen the silver car and therefore should not have moved, as it was not clear to do so, simple, both at fault.
HOZZER I didn’t say he was correct to proceed, I just thought saying well before is a bit harsh when the other driver ran a red light and pulled an illegal u turn at such a busy junction.
scottlaaa 1984 fair enough, that’s why going as soon as it goes to red and amber you’re going well before you should if , you wait till it’s green then react there is probably about 2 seconds before you actually move in which the driver would be completely able to judge the silver car .
I was going to say "Can't be a real Delta taxi driver, he didn't go through the red light at 14:12" but noticed the red light camera on the left.
He did manage to encroach in the cyclist box though.
Ashley have you staged all these Red Light Runner clips??? I mean according to motorists the only people that ever ever ever run red lights are cyclists.........................
To be honest I've seen a few red light runners in my town of Dumfries.
@@collynkieranmclaughlan6983 they are everywhere. The town I live in has one set of traffic lights and people run them too.
@@bulwinkle I just don't know when people will learn.
My driving instructor used to laugh at me because I made a tiny squeaky noise whenever I saw someone do something particularly death-defying on the road. I made a very squeaky noise at 4:49
I don't think anyone would die in case an accident occured in that situation.
Car might
Lol, yeah, but that's not as important as people.
13:00 You should audition for the next joker film Ashley
as in the last clip they also think the advanced stop line is for them
I think all mini cabbers attend some sort of special driving school where they throw the rules of the road book away and apply their own special logic of how to use the roads.
Many don't have the ability to read a book, wrong language.
@@flybobbie1449 you could have saved yourself some typing and ended your comment after the word 'read'.
Sounds like my step dad, makes his own rules up on the road
Ashley's videos are incomplete without delta taxis😂
If I'm in a taxi and they go through a red light or perform a cockwomble overtake, I tell them to stop as soon as they can, then I get out and tell them I refuse to ride with a dangerous driver.
And I don't pay them.
Just discover Your channel Ashley
So pleased 💪👌
Very educational content mate 👌
Ashley, you've mentioned mobile phones as a distraction many times but what are your thoughts on the radio?
I know some of my colleagues say it helps them focus, but as a new driver I found I had to turn it off as I could feel my reaction times being just that little bit off. Now I drive without it and feel my concentration is sharper.
It probably varies depending on the person.
Motorcyclist with 30+ years experience currently commuting into and out of Milton Keynes all year round is thankful taxis have at least an identifying plate mounted on them. This way i have learned to never ever trust them in any way whatsoever. Absolutely the worst and most lazily dangerous drivers as a group on our roads today. I would and do advise anyone i know and love never to use a taxi here unless it absolutely unavoidable.
You ever been to Northampton mate, some Taxis their are also lost the plot and the road.
I remember one time when my dad took me for a drive, a taxi was trying to force me onto solid hatched markings (which obviously you can’t drive on) so he could overtake
I've been in the taxi trade. A huge percentage of the vehicles are rented by the drivers and not owned by them. Consequently, they are driven to within an inch of their lives. Secondly, some taxi drivers would barge you out of the way for a £10 fare over a £5 fare. Put these two things together and it's only going in one direction!
you should start sending the taxi clips to the licensing office. Im sure a few of them loosing their lpates would improve things
They wouldn't lose their plates 😂that's where the licensing get there dosh from as many as possible on the road for them the better
11:00 I had a bloke pull out into the middle of the road in South Wales the other day. I sounded the horn and he stopped. After this he started chasing me, zig-zagging and waving his hands for the next 5 miles. I didn't respond as the company I worked for would sack me for it. In fact, I wasn't angry, I was totally shocked that someone actually raged at me for them being wrong...
Anyway, where I come from, people don't do that because they know they can get it between the eyes.
I used to work along the road from a "garage" where they repaired taxis. There wouldn't be a day go by with out at least one car arriving for repair. You'd also see them driving off with phone to their ear. They were raided once but that turned out to be for pouring oil down the drains.
To be fair all taxi/minicab/private hire vehicle drivers aren’t all bad, because there vehicles are easily remembered and noticed due to the markings/licensing plates, we tend to remember them. When I was still instructing i coaches a lot of drivers for the DSA Taxi Test, which all drivers had to pass in the North East and I believe in other parts of the Country also.
Taxis speed
Wow ! This video includes a bus driver , using mirrors, indicators & he acknowledged being let out ! Have I just entered a parallel universe or something ? ... Liverpool city centre, not one person mentioned The Beatles 🤭
Why, are they rubbish bus drivers?
They have a tough job as it is. Just let the bus leave the bus stop if they're indicating, they have a timetable to meet.
6:30
Fun fact, the building on the left there is the Theory test centre for Merseyside
Hey Ashley, can you please do a video about aquaplaning for new drivers?
Would greatly appreciate it.
Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Well I got you to 999 likes, which makes me 😂 based on how bad those Delta drivers are! They’ll need a 999 run if they keep doing that. Wow.
Regarding bus lane times. I never bother reading them, I've got enough to look at, I just keep out at all times.
Last night i was waiting in a yellow box junction to turn right as the lights go red an oncoming taxi failed to stop as I started to turn! He raised his hands to gesture what are you doing??? I pointed at the red light and was wagging my finger at him as I turned and proceeded all I heard was car horns he only continues after!!!!
On your video yesterday I asked you a question and coincidentally you answered it in the video today by complete fluke I'm sure but thank you none the less.
At 14:20 the Delta car stopped at the red light but had crossed the vehicle stop line and was sat in the cyclist area. Am I correct in thinking that the police would count this as the vehicle having passed the red light? I ask because I cycle to work and see this regularly at a local set of traffic lights.
I'm aware there, the black taxi (Hackney Carriages) and the private hire vehicles aka Minicab, Delta look like minicab company. I live in London.
I'm trying to work out if the cat saw the green man or do what I do and judge the lights (i have learnt the trimmings and sequence on my local lights and know when it is safe to cross even when i don't have a green man)
do you think because they are a large vehicle the drivers feel they can just jump red lights
3:33 But Ashley, you know full well the heavier the vehicle the slower/longer the stopping distance is. Yes the lorry sped up, but probably because it doesn't have enough distance to come to a stop.
The thing is, he should've anticipated the red light. All who learn to drive know that you should be prepared to begin to slow down immediately, if the light has been green for a while. The lights turn to amber at 3:32 , which means if he'd pressed down on the brake pedal there and then, he could've stopped.
Besides, although you are correct about stopping distance increasing with weight, it is only comparable if both vehicles have to slam on the breaks, which clearly wasn't necessary here. For a heavier vehicle to slow down as fast as a normal vehicle, they just need to apply a bigger breaking force.
Taxi drivers are up there for me as some of the poorest driving I’ve seen on the roads, the lack of indicators, the just pulling out, the stopping in some of the worst places etc etc and they have the brass neck to class themselves as “professions” drivers. 😒
In Edinburgh you have to attend classes and pass an assessment to get your black cab licence. Black cab drivers are among the worst and most aggressive drivers on Edinburgh's streets suggesting that forcing people to learn and pass assessments does very little to improve behaviour and attitude. If anything, if merely adds to the arrogance of some of these drivers.
4:46 ? If flashing your headlights to let someone out is wrong ,,,, turning them off is subtly different.
It's a way of saying "I'm here, I can see what you need to do, I'm not going to push through"
The few? The majority, more like. They also speed through residential areas, past schools and frequently drive unsafe vehicles. Every time the council does a taxi inspection in my home town, half the taxis are taken off the road for being unsafe. 😡
It's interesting to see all these red light jumpers. I could count on one hand how many red light jumpers I have seen in the 4 years I've been driving. Now, I live down in Brighton. But could there be a difference in attitude on the roads between northerners and southerners?
I have been watching you for a while now, someone said it was eligible to make a video or go live while driving, not toughing the phone just set it up while parked then film and stop it when you have stopped, not once touching the phone while driving.
I don’t understand how everything’s so funny to him at the time it’s happening 😂 I get it’s better than road rage though
Ashley - do you ever send any of your footage too the police? they would love all these clips!
I once reported 2 drivers. One nearly sideswiping me as he was on the wrong lane before exiting the roundabout and another person soon after going down the oncoming lane, through a red light to go straight across. The police said I need permission to say I can attend court if the people are not guilty. Most likely if it's obvious the clip shows dangerous driving Id say they'll be guilty.
We all know police don't do anything these days, to busy searching for nasty words online to fight poor motoring skills. this ain't 70s Britain you know.
HistoryFan476ad I disagree. I’ve done it and they follow up. It’s really easy to report bad driving on line using dash cam footage. There is a slightly annoying cyclist in London who submits loads and gets people on their phone fined and 6 points. The courts can’t argue with video evidence.
@@problemchild1976 well i will do that next it happens and i get it on camera lad. for me my incident seem to happen more when i am walking.
My uncle is a bus driver and sees the likes of the clip starting at 4.21 far too often. Apparently people make the assumption a vehicle which is probably 5 times the weight of theirs and which is at least twice the length of their car can slam on the brakes.
Hints of Gerry Cinnamon at the end there - "HE IS A DELTAAAA!"
14:10 The vehicle with Delta on the side is not a taxi, it is a bicycle. This is obvious by where he positions his cycle at the traffic lights.
Same in my smaller city, Lancaster. The majority of the taxis are fair drivers, but there’s always one or two that give taxis a bad name.
9:09 Channelling the late great Cilla Black
13:02 Channelling the Joker 😂
Taxi, to me anyway, means a black cab. Most of these are mini-cabs/private hire cars.
Mind you I live in Edinburgh where there are a lot of black cabs. Does Liverpool not have similar?
There are plenty of black cabs in and around Liverpool but, like most places, you'll probably find them more around the city centre and the arterial routes. Delta and the other private hire companies probably cover a wider area the majority of the time then city centre at the busy peak times.
@@bradburyrobinson
Fair one.
the problem with many authorities is , they don't test potential taxi drivers on their driving abilities .
Another good video. Seems like a lot of Taxis are a law unto themselves on the road, not just limited to Merseyside, just doing seriously dangerous overtaking moves to get up the line in heavy traffic is beyond me. Stopping them doing a maneuver because it is your right of way, doesn't warrant road rage (big fines in Germany for gesticulating). Never a traffic cop when one is needed (see the instant Karma videos) in this country - cuts, cuts and cuts. If you become a Taxi driver, to get your taxi plate, you should do a long, long extended driving test, with the emphasis being on road safety and passenger safety (will never happen). And when trucks make mistakes, the consequences are usually devastating (multiple deaths) and the truck driver usually is looking at years behind bars. Just today was overtaken in a 30 zone at a speed camera and I was doing just under 30mph on my speedometer - is it really worth the hassle.
@intempify Everyone wants perfect drivers, but human nature won't allow. Some of the things I have seen these 'professional' drivers do is beyond reproach - we all have off days, but doing stuff like driving on the wrong side of the road to cut in, jumping red lights, pulling out without looking, tailgating and so on that is highlighted in these videos as well as other dash cam videos is a danger to every user on the road at that time. If your making a living out of driving have a serious and professional outlook to what you do, just like commercial airline pilots have to do to negate risk and prevent accidents.
I think i've heard you comment that you don't like reporting drivers for poor behaviour on the road. However, i think with liveried vehicles (like the lorry) we should consider doing so. At least to the Director / Manager of Transport for the company concerned. Although, yes, the driver is leaving themselves open for prosecution, the directors can also be prosecuted for corporate manslaughter so i think they need to know so they can ensure they have adequate CPD in place for their drivers. Just a thought.
Liverpool - where cats have better road sense than taxi drivers. 😂
Regards the cat at the crosssing, I witnessed very similar at a Zebra crossing in London; I was the car that it crossed for. A few people nearby..😲👀
Try Leicester.....'Tossers Central' when it comes to crap drivers, and more likely drivers who have never taken a test.
Pretty sure at least half of the drivers with Aylestone Taxis fit that description
I'm a professional driver and watching Your videos is so familiar with my day to day basis 🤦♂️
whos worse? delta or uber?
There has got to be a point now Ashley where these types of drivers when caught should be made to take a re-test...not necessaryly points & a fine but charge them £200 for the privelige...they might just then sit up & think about their future actions OR Take them off the road for 1 year at a time..
Do you not have red light cameras in Liverpool? I feel if they were installed this country would be out of debt pretty quick 🤣🤣
Apparently... mobile phone use while driving is now a bigger cause of accidents than drink driving. However so many people think it's acceptible. To be honest, people on the phone is not the most terrifying, it's people scrolling through Insta or Facebook or texting while driving that really terrifies me.
I does amaze me at the number of people who still cannot leave their phones alone whilst driving. Whether calling, texting, or on the social media thingy. Especially so called 'professional drivers' most cars these days have hands free Bluetooth tided into the stereo system (which takes minutes to set up before starting your journey). Alot have controls on the steering wheel which is brilliant.
I'm a firm beleiver that when you are driving, that is ALL you should be doing, so if you require a phone whilst driving, the handsfree system enables you to maintain full observation (rotating your head freely) and both hands to maintain full control of the vehicle.
Now I know some people say that you should not be even speaking handsfree whilst drive as this can be a distraction in itself, however unfortunatley this is the modern world and people need to "get on" . In my opinion the phone conversation is a not even a second priority whilst driving so if you are speaking to somebody handsfree and the driving situation is getting complicated tell the caller to either hang on or call back. It really is not complicated.
That closing comment killed me
Maybe they should make it compulsory to have cameras with big fines for those who go through red lights. The other day an Audi went clearly through a red light on a pedestrian crossing and the people crossing had to run back. Plus he was definitely not doing 30mph.
As always great Videos Ps I do think all should Have Dash Cams
And the moral is dont take a Delta in LIverpool. A City in Sheffield or an Uber anywhere.
Fundamental philosophy : people CANNOT wait.
The only way to try and reduce red light jumpers is to have cameras, not just traffic cams but CCTV at busy hot spot junctions, make it 6/9 points and a minimum £200 fine, I did the taxis in Liverpool for 17yrs and never jumped a red light to save a few minutes, I was on the receiving end of someone who jumped a red light, 20yrs later I still suffer with neck pain, message to those who jump a red light, think of the long term damage if you hit someone.
Can you make one video how to avoid the ignorant motorbikes? (but i think we can’t😐). Before 4-5 minutes i finishing my test i fail🥺, with 0minors, because of motorbike swing front of me.
The cat got me there is a cat near ours he uses the zebra crossing to cross and cars always let him go.
Looks like Ash uses "a small percentage" about taxi drivers the same way Apple does when it comes to units breaking with what they'll later concede to be design flaws ...
I’m a taxi driver in Devon, and I’m utterly disgusted with the driving of this Delta company and it’s idiotic and sometimes dangerous drivers, would it do any good to collect a few clips and forward them to their or your council for inspection?
No Mate Their Council Don't give a Toss..
Alan Brown they have to give a toss as the licensing authority rules prohibit anti social driving behaviour.
@@markplenty2631 You Don't Know Sefton Licencing Authority Mate, They treat them with Impunity !!
Alan Brown well then it’s time to call up a meeting with the police and local licensing authority and demand that every private hire vehicle be fitted with a GPS tracker and anti tamper cameras and the data to be audited monthly. I know that’s impossible but after what I’ve just seen I would sit there every day of every week catching these idiot drivers and getting the off the road one at a time. Bit like Hand Muff Warrior tries to do with stolen bikes.
@@markplenty2631 Whatyou should know is that Delta have approx 5,000 P.H. Cars on their system & A LOT of them are Immigrants & The Police won't get involved because the Race Card will be shown.....
Relax, Ashley. They are not going to change. I almost got knocked off my motorbike in Regent street by a black cab doing a sudden U-turn across me. That was 45 years ago: I ended up staying on, but in the gutter on the wrong side of the road... Just report the worst ones and they will sharpen up or risk losing their licences.
Do Delta drivers ever pass a driving test ? (a UK test lol)
I once saw a dog sitting at a zebra crossing - the car opposite stopped, so I did too, and the dog crossed over . . . 🐕
They will learn if we just make phone driving an automatic ban just like drink driving. EDIT: Some studies have shown that using a phone while driving is even more dangerous than drink driving.
No need to apologise. I think you were justified in calling out the taxi drivers. The fact that you spot so many driving dangerously should be a wake up call for them to do better and call out their own. I, myself have numerous police reports logged in the west Midlands of dangerous taxi driving. These "professional" drivers are often such bad drivers it's a wonder they got registered for private hire.
Any accidents in this video channel are urban slow speed so not much damage or injury - go online uncensored and see what really happens at 50+ mph eg mad Russia.
I'll tell you what, I moved to Sheffield earlier this year, and the taxi drivers are the world's biggest absolute idiots! I've even had a taxi driver straddling both sides of the road on a two direction side road/junction whilst I was trying to turn right into that road in a work vehicle!
What is it with private hire drivers always driving dead slow these days in town centres etc, is it because they are all on Uber-style apps now and by crawling along they have more chance of a job pinging up on the app?
7:17 Letting them change lanes comes at a cost. Those drivers will keep doing it over and over if they keep getting away with it.
6:06 In The Netherlands we see Parking, turning and I think starting to drive is seen as special manoeuvres.
I that case, al OTHER vehicles and cyclists have priority, but that isn't a thing in The UK?
So did you report the red light jumping lorry driver? And if not, why not?
I’ve only ever reported 1 person as they acted in a threatening way. For me education is a more effective tool rather than prosecution.
@@ashley_neal - I realise your pupils are getting the education, however unfortunately the lorry driver isn't and will continue to jump lights while he gets away with it.
What do you think my channel is for?
@@ashley_neal I doubt it is aimed at the lorry driver
To the contrary. Imagine seeing yourself on one of my clips driving in such a manner, then reading the comments saying those actions should be reported. Might be a wake up call?
Whenever I see a taxi driver, truck, van or lorry, it's shields up, red alert, arm the photon torpedoes!
Round me, most taxi drivers are normal drivers. Because its a town, we have three company's so you do get to know the drivers. Two of them from two different companies have a death wish. The local paper even wrote about one of them
I wouldn't call running a red light a "mistake"; it's a casual disregard for the law and the safety of other road users. These people should get a driving ban.
On my second week of driving I was involved in an accident. I was entering into the car park going in left and person from the left bays reversed out into me hitting the passenger side of my car. Maybe it is worth making a video about what to do in an accident; I should have not moved the car, taken video and asked the driver to admit fault or get a clear agreement with him how to proceed instead of what happened which was accepting an empty offer of resolving it privately. I have zero experience of using the horn other than by hitting it accidentally.
Last one also stopping on the cyclists' advanced stop line.
