2:10 If you're always having incidents, you have to wonder what you could be doing differently. Firstly, if someone is overtaking, let them, don't try and berate them on the horn as it's just immature and doesn't really fix anything. You aren't going to be late by just coming off the accelerator for a few seconds. Next, the two vehicles not seeing you when merging left could easily be avoided by driving in a staggered formation. Defensive driving is not about flashing your lights and leaning on the horn. Avoid having a vehicle directly next to you when you're not overtaking
not to mentio the road marking clearly show it's a merge point, the cammer is 100% in the wrong you should give way to allow people to merge, he said this is the f*ing problem and was still not breaking /slowing to open a gap for him to enter, in fact was gaining on the white car in front cammer needs to learn rules of the road and what road signs mean, and his constant acceleration to block overtakes is illegal, think they need to go read rul 168 of the highways code...
#14 Not sure if the cammer wasn't initially at fault - he may have abruptly changed lanes, which forced the other driver to swerve. His subsequent reaction however, that's pure BMW driver pathology. Got what he deserved, it seems.
"Got what he deserved" IMHO no. A Section 59 - if any other similar incidents occur you vehicle will be seized and scrapped. We don't need nutjobs like that on our roads....period.
Yes both drivers are dicks. The cammer starts it off by cutting into the lane. The BMW then feels like he needs to get back in front. The cammer obviously then beeps (from the reaction from the woman in brown coat) rather than just raising his hand and saying sorry. BMW driver gets out but then thinks better of it. The cammer (rather than just driving on) pulls up the side of him and makes a gesture. This sets the BMW driver off even more. I'm guessing the BMW driver didn't attend court and was sentenced in his absence. Any decent lawyer would have put pressure on the CPS to drop this and I suspect it would have.

Most likely our cammer submitted the clip without audio because they wanted to hide their use of the horn and the swearing going on in the car. BMW driver is acting like a pillock, but it goes to show that using the horn and your lights to have a tantrum doesn't really achieve anything. Be calmer on the roads and get over other people driving poorly
3:07 bit of advice maybe... don't sit next to or in the blind spot of other cars? Might just be me, but I get uncomfortable when a car is along side and matching the speed so I tend to ease off to avoid them being alongside to help avoid such occasions. Sadly you can't trust the other drivers on the road to check properly.
Yes this is actually what you meant to do. Slow your speed to allow them to overtake. You are taught in lessons now to, instead of adding the the problem, you are the one to fix a problem
Precisely. You should always aim to drive in a staggered formation. Makes merge in turn situations very easy, and means it's very hard for a car to pull into you while changing lanes
6:25 to me, someone who would say that has forgotten what it's like to first start driving alone without an instructor by their side and that confidence continues growing as you drive after your testm It's good to make other drivers aware you're new to the roads.
Personally, I used my P plates when I was driving somewhere I was uncertain about. Could be a fast road that I haven’t done before, a complicated roundabout, something I’d never done before like a multi-storey car park, etc. Nothing to do with the fact I couldn’t drive or was “surprised I’d passed my test”, I was just letting other drivers know that I was still new, doing this alone for the first time, and doing something I hadn’t come across in my lessons or test so to give me a bit of space to judge.

#8 Can I just say that you SHOULD NOT use your warning triangle on a motorway. Firstly, if you get hit from behind whilst getting it out of your boot, some poor bugger is going to have to scrape your remains off both vehicles and I've heard that's not a pleasant job. Secondly, walking down the hard shoulder to put it at the required distance is also potentially suicide. Finally, the triangle could be 'sucked' into the live lane by the wake of large vehicles, causing an obstruction on the carriageway. Just get out (on the side farthest from the carriageway if possible) and get the hell up the embankment or over the barrier at least. Don't spend any more time than necessary near traffic.
Situation here is different though, there's a barrier to protect them, I'd at least have thrown one of those cones behind the car to make it more visible.
@@kwlkid85 They were pulled up alongside the Jersey Barrier which yes would be great protection, but are they able to clamber over it and then get the cone. I would have walked forward as the barrier appears to end. One of the reasons I don't like Smart motorways as it takes time to get a family out and to a place of safety, just think of a 12 seater minibus with OAP passengers. Hard shoulders are dangerous enough, there was case on the M5 where a car stopped for a puncture, a passing truck lost a pair of wheels, these hit the husband getting tools from the boot, jumped onto the roof and badly injured or killed his wife sat in the car. The police were baffled until the wheels were found in a field. Another police unit noticed the truck in a service area but the two incidents were not immediately connected.
0:55 Something one should clarify: this tricky situation was not caused by the tanker truck. The driver did pick the best time to pull out since traffic was slowed due to the truck pulling in already. The reason this was a bit iffy is the poor layby design. It's always being said, to not stop on the hard shoulder to have a break because it's too dangerous, yet, these type of layby is exactly that. The fact that there's no accelleration lane either is what causes this and I am genuinely astonished how people can be so brave (or stupid) to continue to use these excuses of a rest area.
#14, cammer may have cut up BMW, but did you notice the big bump on the rear of BMW? Maybe that driver was looking for someone to make a claim against, getting a free repair?
I think it's most likely, seeing as how the clip is muted, that the BMW pulling in front triggered are cammer and they were swearing and pressing the horn. Especially as they stop again
@@MeTube3 Nope "Rule 274 On leaving the motorway or using a link road between motorways, your speed may be higher than you realise - 50 mph may feel like 30 mph. Check your speedometer and adjust your speed accordingly. Some slip-roads and link roads have sharp bends, so you will need to slow down."
The comment about P plates is rather unfounded. I passed my test a month ago at the age of 31, and grew up in a family who didn't have a car, so to me driving is not something that I feel extremely comfortable doing yet. Passing a driving test doesn't automatically mean that you will be a brilliant driver on the road, and I find the P plates just make me feel safer and the majority of people are more understanding. For instance, if I stall the car a couple of times because I'm getting worked up.
Welcome to the madhouse which is modern driving. You're quite correct - you learn to pass a driving test....& then you hone your skills. Many people nowadays forget that 2nd part. A "P" plate *should* steady other drivers up they *should* give you a bit of space but sadly in today's "gotta get there 5 minutes ago, get out of my way" driving world, courtesy is singularly lacking. Good luck.
I think the truck driver who pulled out kind of did the right thing, it was the best time other than waiting what would probably never have come, for a clear long enough chance to do so. He chose when that other truck pulled in, blocking that lane anyway, and gave more chance of any vehicle after that truck pulling in of being slow and easily avoiding any accident. Judging the time of day, type of road, id have done the same thing. Waiting for a long enough clear gap would never have come.
Are all dash cam owners unobservant and selfish drivers who drive far too fast, or just those who obstinate self-righteousness leads them to send evidence of their incompetence to TH-cam channels?
#8....Driving lessons for the commenter : Highway Code Rule 274: put a warning triangle on the road at least 45 metres (147 ft) behind your broken-down vehicle on the same side of the road, or use other permitted warning devices if you have them. Always take great care when placing or retrieving them, but NEVER use them on MOTORWAY.
Re the first video. In the days before Dashcams, I had something very similar happen to me. Guy in a beat up Fiesta came haring around a corner like the one in this, but the camber on the road caused him to go slightly airborne. I managed to shift ever so slightly to the left and he just missed me as his wheels landed back on the road. He then lost control, fishtailed, and as I watched him in the rearview mirror, he slammed into a tree, spun and the engine was thrown clear from it's mountings into a field to my left. If there had been anyone directly behind me they would have been seriously injured by the flying engine. When I stopped and walked back to what was left of the car, there were two guys sitting in the front staring into space and I honestly thought they were dead, but no, they were alive and actually managed to clamber out of the car, I called the police and ambulance and then made my feelings on his driving ability clear, but they seemed oblivious as to what I was talking about.
I have two professional drivers in my family and both have mentioned Bradford as a particular hot spot for insurance fraud, "cash for crash" as they call it in the trade.
3:52 It's true, we have a lot of roundabouts in the Netherlands. Only we are driving on the right side. And yes, as a Dutch tourist, it can confusing him / her to take a roundabout in UK. However, it doesn't make this tourist a bad driver....... And besides, this tourist can also make around again.
I worked in Denmark and would fly back to UK for a long weekend each month. Drive a LHD to Copenhagen airport then jump in a RHD hire car at Heathrow. Now that's the easiest way to do it as the cars match the road. Driving LHD on a RHD road not so easy.
3:16 Redbridge or Gants Hill roundabout? Both of them never cease to terrify me, one of the reasons being drivers' tendency to leap lanes in stupid ways.
That dog in traffic clip reminded me of turning out of my street once on to the main road - queue of traffic at a stand still on other side, car in front of me stopped. Me wondering what's up. Big old boxer dog stood in middle of road, perpendicular to traffic, owning it. No owner, just stood looking at the vets we live opposite to 😂 Turns out 'Shaz' had gotten out her garden and gone for a walk and decided the middle of a main road was the place to make a last stand. We got her to the vets, quick scan and phone call later and she was back with her owner. Never seen a dog command traffic like that since.
4:19 'get that triangle out' ?? pull over 100 drivers and count how many are carrying triangles, you won't find many if any, I also bet half don't even have a spare/space saver wheel either, most new cars don't have room for a spare and space savers are an extra cost.
9:29 We are positioned almost alongside other car for a very long time at the same speed, as we approach a complex roundabout we are nearly next to the car. Why? So many drivers pick a unique route across roundabouts we should drop back so if he veers into our lane we have little problem as we can accommodate this without changing our selected course or speed. If we were badly positioned and had to brake suddenly a vehicle behind might hit us.
No.14; if ONLY the BMW driver was convicted, the cammer has got away with a whopper. At 7:17, cammer almost certainly cut across BMW dangerously, and definitely antagonised him in the departure from the lights, later. That goading could certainly be classed as "without due care", and whilst BMW reaction is reprehensible, I'm not sure justice was done...
I have travelled all over the UK and when coming off motorways at a roundabout and not familiar with the layout it can be difficult. However, I would rather go around 10 effing times to come off the correct exit then be a dick head driver.
I disagree with the part about people being surprised they passed their test with P plates. I was confident and passed my test but still had P plates as I wasn’t as quick off the start at lights and back then we didn’t go on motorways until we oasssed so it was more to make others aware to be patient and expect potential stalls or extra time to make sure it’s okay to do something. Though I agree that driver was in the wrong not all people with P plates are incompetent
I always thought P plates were a good idea until my daughter passed her test a few years ago. She'd been living in Australia where P plates are mandatory for new drivers and we thought it a good idea. How wrong was I. She passed her test first time and was genuinely a very good driver but the amount of impatient, intolerant mongs on the road was a real eye opener to me,so on a couple of occasions I put the plates on my car and was amazed how badly I was treated, far worse than without. So whilst if other motorists respected them they are a good idea I wouldn't now recommend them.
@@nigelheath7048 yeah this is the downside, it’s all about how others react and treat people. Most will take it as what it is and be a little more patient then you have those that just make it so much worse.
@@nigelheath7048 try sticking a BMW badge on your car then the trouble really starts! 😂 Seriously though. Doesn't matter what kind of a driver you are, people's attitude is terrible, blocking merges, not giving way and feeling the need to prevent passing on the motorway etc. When I drive my wife's car, I don't get the same hostility, even though I drive in exactly the same way!
I agree with this too I passed my test a few weeks ago and got them for my car, not because I’m incapable or ‘surprised’ I passed my test, but because I was driving completely on my own in a new car, it was more to suggest I might be slightly more hesitant in certain situations and that the clutch and car generally is different to what I learnt in, Incase I stall ect, and hopefully makes it more aware to other drivers as newly passed drivers don’t have years of experience.
4:15 You must know that warning triangles aren't compulsory in the UK (unbelievable but true - you don't even have to have one in the car). 7:30 Enrichment at its best.
4:35 It was your attitude that made their poor driving a problem for you. It was very clear that they weren't taking the exit, both looking at their indicators and road positioning. Instead of recognising the hazard and giving them space to minimise risk, you chose to carry on like they weren't there so you could berate them on the horn for their mistake. Their driving was poor, they should have just accepted the mistake and taken the exit, but that still doesn't excuse your abysmal attitude
He wasn't even in the right lane himself as he was just going straight across.As you say, rather than just back off, they chose to risk collision. Indicators were clear from the off what the van was doing, and regardless of it being in the wrong lane to turn right, it was clearly indicated and the cam car chose to be an angry little twat.
no 13, Twickenham. I'm surprised not to have seen an accident on the other side of the roundabout. 3 lanes enter, left for left turn only. Middle goes straight on, in the left lane around it. Right lane, straight on or turn right. About 1/4 of the cars in the middle lane just drive straight into the lane for cars on their right, or rather, they change lanes without looking or indicating halfway around.

i think everyone should have to do their A1 prior to getting any others, I'm as stubborn as they come and never checked blind spots until i got on 2 wheels
Comment on the comments about 'blind spots' in cars. There is NO such thing as a 'blind spot' in a car, there's just a few 'I can't be bothered to look properly spots.' In vans and trucks there are some blind spots that the driver needs mirrors properly set to check in, and failure to set the mirrors or use them is another driver fault along the same lines of being idiotically stupid.
In the good old days of wing mirror there was a better view alongside the vehicle, sadly too many cyclists and pedestrians getting hurt they were moved to the door. As you said lots are not set right or even used. Another point is to position your vehicle to give a clue to other drivers in addition to the turn signal.
13 i dont think the merc fucked up, hard to tell when he was stuck behind the other cars, the biker should gfive way to those alreasy on the roundabout. in cardiff there is a roundabout with a 20mph limit on it and 2 lanes that go right, but if you go 20mph the other cars coming onto thte roundabout going 30 end up on the outside of you because theure entance lane is your exit lane, its daft and dangerous
@RAW fpv mate the traffic lights mean it's not a roundabout. It's like saying that adding beef to a vegetarian dish doesn't stop it from being vegetarian.
Just imagine trying to stay out of peoples blind spots all the time, you'd never drive anywhere!!!!! A blind spot is not a blind spot if you move your f**kin head and take a look....
There’s absolutely no such thing as a blind spot!! I can see everything beside me behind me with the use of my mirrors and by looking over either shoulder….
The clip of the l plated silver corsa. Well done they made a mistake so you broke the law and under took. Bet you gave them the usual bad driver hand signal too lol
“Well done cammer for not honking because the Mercedes’ knew”…??? 7:04. Because that’s what the horn is for - telling someone after the fact, that they previously made a mistake? Wtf?! It’s to warn others of your presence if you believe they’ve not yet seen you, before a potential error.
9:38 Cammer did nothing legally wrong there, but it was pretty bad driving. The entire clip I could tell it was going to be an issue like this because the cars weren't staggered enough. Hold off for two seconds, especially when entering a roundabout, to give people space, instead of just blindly assuming other users will do what you expect. I know this is mentioned but to say "Cammer did nothing wrong" gives the false impression that holding back to minimise risk there is an optional, superfluous precaution
Clip #14. Absolutely typical, ignorant, arrogant, self centred, self important, entitled, (B)rainless (M)oronic (W)anker pilot, trying to get someone else's insurance to buy him a new rear bumper.
seen so many BMW driver causing accidents while dangerously driving and ofc they are the first out of the car yelling .... they give a bad name of a nice brand unfortunately
Yes we have a lot of roundabouts in the Netherlands, but not at that way . 3 years ago i was driven in London it was horrible to drive with GB roundabout rules😡🥵😀
I found the roundabouts in the UK different and harder to navigate on although I experienced no problems. But I would have never thought of backing up on a roundabout :)
Funny how most of the time you say the cammer is in the right yet half of them would fail their test the way they drive now, for instance not letting a car over take, you're taught to slow down and let them overtake. If you did that in your test that would be a major fault and you'd fail your test.
3:55 Actually 99% of the Dutch roundabouts are single lane ones! And the ones that are dual (or more) can only be exited from the outer lanes / and even are separated by higher ridges!...... As a Dutch guy i find the roundabout videoS always confusing since in ONE video a cammer meets an asswipe doing the wrong manouvre and in the next video the same asswipe manouvre is done by the cammer and that's okay. (on the same type of roundabout)......soooo
Roundabouts vary a lot. Many dual lane ones have the one lane exiting at the next exit and the other lane exiting at the second exit, and some allow both lanes to exit at the second exit. This is where vehicle indicators should be used and better signage.
I'm with Patrick :) The UK roundabouts always seem very unclear as who can exit and who can continue on the roundabout. Does the inner lane always give way on the exit? Going to the UK later this year so would be nice to know ;)
@@BH-FZ6 Most UK roundabouts with lots of lanes are setup as a spiral so lanes slowly head off at each exit. This means if you join in the inner lane you'll be at the outer lane(s) by the time you reach your exit. As long as no one messes up what lane they're in you shouldn't have any conflicts at exits.
I drive in Vietnam and new roads by me are four lanes in each direction, the two nearside are for motorbikes the next for trucks and the fourth for coaches and cars. This only works when the police are not around. Roundabouts even though they have four lanes everybody uses the inner most lane, the right of way is the largest vehicle whos on the roundabout or approaching it. Approaching vehicle that wish to take the first exit signal right, all other signal left and then signal right after passing the exit before. Trucks just use the hazard lights for what ever they wish to do. Motorcyclist who have found the exit they want, may signal and the leave it on for the rest of the journey. they will also peel across to one of the outside lanes. At rush hour there's hundreds of them weaving in and out. The difficult one is making a right turn across the MC lanes, I signal early and gradually move over in my SUV, the local driver stop when they reach the turn and then attempt the turn that takes for ages. Watching these videos just makes me laugh and I can't wait to drive in the UK again, it's so easy there.
Why do most roadways not have any 'shoulders' rather than concrete curbs? Those concreate curbs are a major danger to drivers who have nowhere to go when a reckless driver pushes them while changing lanes without looking. I don't get it. Those roadways in the UK are too narrow too. It's a nation thing, I guess.
I would suggest both. Drunk and from a country that uses LH drive cars. It was clear they genuinely thought that driving on the right was correct (understandable and easily done if your new to the country and/or distracted or driving on 'autopilot'), however the fact they then saw multiple cars coming towards them in the same lane should have immediately clued them in ("Oh! that's right we drive on the left here.") but the fact they were already driving overly slow (overcompensation is common in drunk drivers) then just stopped and sat there for such a long time indicates they REALLY didn't know what was going on. Its not a complicated thought process to go through when you have multiple cars driving towards you in the same lane. It IS complicated if you happen to be under some type of influence at the time.
@@SKYWURX UK also for many years has the safest drivers in the world, say in the top 5. Romania bottoms the worst drivers list in Europe, whilst USA drivers are 4 times worse, due to their poor driving lessons and skills than the UK. Fortunately we very rarely see very bad accidents, only near misses and scrapes and knocks.
The REALITY is, most of the World does drive LHD, on the right hand side of the road. If someone wants to tally up all the LHD vs RHD, you're welcome to do so.
Means new driver. They aren't a requirement in the UK, but some use them so other drivers might be a little more patient. They are, however, required in Australia for the first 18 months.
#13 Surely the bike should have been BEHIND the merc 4,x,4 ....not undertaking on the inside lane Had he ridden WITHIN the law , the Mercedes would have been no issue to him Bicycle riders and motorcyclists seem to follow a different highway code to the rest of us
The biker had a clear lane, it was a roundabout, the traffic in the right lane was slow which is why the Mercedes tried to switch lanes without looking first. It was not undertaking.
Oh so it happens in the UK as well does it? I thought this was only an American problem. I'm talking about not doing the roundabouts correctly. Man if the UK can't manage this, UK the HOME of the roundabout, what chance do the rest of us have?

The knob at 7:18 must always be pulling in front of people and stopping judging from the big dent in his rear end
Being a good driver is not about never making a mistake, because we all do from time to time; it's about how you deal with it safely and move on.
8:35 That was good news, at least.
4:25 You must not set up a red triangle on a motorway. You can on a dual carriageway.
Also the barrier might have been too high for the woman to climb over.
According to on screen text, the cam driver was that worried he changed lanes and drove on.

@@georgebarnes8163 says Highway Code 274.
@@MeTube3 Nope "Rule 274
On leaving the motorway or using a link road between motorways, your speed may be higher than you realise - 50 mph may feel like 30 mph. Check your speedometer and adjust your speed accordingly. Some slip-roads and link roads have sharp bends, so you will need to slow down."
The comment about P plates is rather unfounded. I passed my test a month ago at the age of 31, and grew up in a family who didn't have a car, so to me driving is not something that I feel extremely comfortable doing yet. Passing a driving test doesn't automatically mean that you will be a brilliant driver on the road, and I find the P plates just make me feel safer and the majority of people are more understanding. For instance, if I stall the car a couple of times because I'm getting worked up.
Welcome to the madhouse which is modern driving. You're quite correct - you learn to pass a driving test....& then you hone your skills. Many people nowadays forget that 2nd part. A "P" plate *should* steady other drivers up they *should* give you a bit of space but sadly in today's "gotta get there 5 minutes ago, get out of my way" driving world, courtesy is singularly lacking. Good luck.
I thought the hypocrisy of the cammer was quite evident in that one..... slagging off new drivers then going straight into an aggressive undertake.
I think the truck driver who pulled out kind of did the right thing, it was the best time other than waiting what would probably never have come, for a clear long enough chance to do so. He chose when that other truck pulled in, blocking that lane anyway, and gave more chance of any vehicle after that truck pulling in of being slow and easily avoiding any accident. Judging the time of day, type of road, id have done the same thing. Waiting for a long enough clear gap would never have come.
Get out and rage at me, I laugh. Get out and rage at me again, I push your car down the road for you.
Are all dash cam owners unobservant and selfish drivers who drive far too fast, or just those who obstinate self-righteousness leads them to send evidence of their incompetence to TH-cam channels?
#8....Driving lessons for the commenter : Highway Code Rule 274: put a warning triangle on the road at least 45 metres (147 ft) behind your broken-down vehicle on the same side of the road, or use other permitted warning devices if you have them. Always take great care when placing or retrieving them, but NEVER use them on MOTORWAY.

They also take time to set up and in the meantime the driver could be marmalised.
Re the first video. In the days before Dashcams, I had something very similar happen to me. Guy in a beat up Fiesta came haring around a corner like the one in this, but the camber on the road caused him to go slightly airborne. I managed to shift ever so slightly to the left and he just missed me as his wheels landed back on the road. He then lost control, fishtailed, and as I watched him in the rearview mirror, he slammed into a tree, spun and the engine was thrown clear from it's mountings into a field to my left. If there had been anyone directly behind me they would have been seriously injured by the flying engine. When I stopped and walked back to what was left of the car, there were two guys sitting in the front staring into space and I honestly thought they were dead, but no, they were alive and actually managed to clamber out of the car, I called the police and ambulance and then made my feelings on his driving ability clear, but they seemed oblivious as to what I was talking about.

3:52 It's true, we have a lot of roundabouts in the Netherlands. Only we are driving on the right side. And yes, as a Dutch tourist, it can confusing him / her to take a roundabout in UK. However, it doesn't make this tourist a bad driver....... And besides, this tourist can also make around again.
The camera car driver said he was trying to reverse back up to the exit, probably not seen on camera.
I worked in Denmark and would fly back to UK for a long weekend each month. Drive a LHD to Copenhagen airport then jump in a RHD hire car at Heathrow. Now that's the easiest way to do it as the cars match the road. Driving LHD on a RHD road not so easy.
The biggest fail here was on the radio.
"How many swans were a swimming?" "Eight."

3:16 Redbridge or Gants Hill roundabout? Both of them never cease to terrify me, one of the reasons being drivers' tendency to leap lanes in stupid ways.
That dog in traffic clip reminded me of turning out of my street once on to the main road - queue of traffic at a stand still on other side, car in front of me stopped. Me wondering what's up.
Big old boxer dog stood in middle of road, perpendicular to traffic, owning it.
No owner, just stood looking at the vets we live opposite to 😂
Turns out 'Shaz' had gotten out her garden and gone for a walk and decided the middle of a main road was the place to make a last stand. We got her to the vets, quick scan and phone call later and she was back with her owner. Never seen a dog command traffic like that since.
5:02 this couple talking sound like a comedy sketch.

4:19 'get that triangle out' ?? pull over 100 drivers and count how many are carrying triangles, you won't find many if any, I also bet half don't even have a spare/space saver wheel either, most new cars don't have room for a spare and space savers are an extra cost.
I thought they do not have spare wheel in the boot since many seems to be driving with them on 🤣
@@se-kmg355 The truth right there lol.
9:29 We are positioned almost alongside other car for a very long time at the same speed, as we approach a complex roundabout we are nearly next to the car. Why? So many drivers pick a unique route across roundabouts we should drop back so if he veers into our lane we have little problem as we can accommodate this without changing our selected course or speed. If we were badly positioned and had to brake suddenly a vehicle behind might hit us.
No.14; if ONLY the BMW driver was convicted, the cammer has got away with a whopper. At 7:17, cammer almost certainly cut across BMW dangerously, and definitely antagonised him in the departure from the lights, later. That goading could certainly be classed as "without due care", and whilst BMW reaction is reprehensible, I'm not sure justice was done...
to be fair , the vast majority of the offending drivers were too busy watching " rudy dashcam academy" to notice anything else 😊
3:54 I thought he was going to say "you can't park there sir!" 😂😂
As a van driver and motorcyclist: never drive in a blind spot, your asking for trouble.
I have travelled all over the UK and when coming off motorways at a roundabout and not familiar with the layout it can be difficult. However, I would rather go around 10 effing times to come off the correct exit then be a dick head driver.
I used to go around roundabouts several times, then I took an eye test and can now see the direction signs.
@@TheByard Good point
I disagree with the part about people being surprised they passed their test with P plates. I was confident and passed my test but still had P plates as I wasn’t as quick off the start at lights and back then we didn’t go on motorways until we oasssed so it was more to make others aware to be patient and expect potential stalls or extra time to make sure it’s okay to do something. Though I agree that driver was in the wrong not all people with P plates are incompetent
But a p plate is there to let others know to be more patient due to the inexperience of the driver.
I always thought P plates were a good idea until my daughter passed her test a few years ago. She'd been living in Australia where P plates are mandatory for new drivers and we thought it a good idea. How wrong was I. She passed her test first time and was genuinely a very good driver but the amount of impatient, intolerant mongs on the road was a real eye opener to me,so on a couple of occasions I put the plates on my car and was amazed how badly I was treated, far worse than without. So whilst if other motorists respected them they are a good idea I wouldn't now recommend them.
@@nigelheath7048 yeah this is the downside, it’s all about how others react and treat people. Most will take it as what it is and be a little more patient then you have those that just make it so much worse.
@@nigelheath7048 try sticking a BMW badge on your car then the trouble really starts! 😂 Seriously though. Doesn't matter what kind of a driver you are, people's attitude is terrible, blocking merges, not giving way and feeling the need to prevent passing on the motorway etc. When I drive my wife's car, I don't get the same hostility, even though I drive in exactly the same way!
I agree with this too I passed my test a few weeks ago and got them for my car, not because I’m incapable or ‘surprised’ I passed my test, but because I was driving completely on my own in a new car, it was more to suggest I might be slightly more hesitant in certain situations and that the clutch and car generally is different to what I learnt in, Incase I stall ect, and hopefully makes it more aware to other drivers as newly passed drivers don’t have years of experience.
not being funny but if my dog was off the lead in traffic id risk my own life to make sure it was ok
4:15 You must know that warning triangles aren't compulsory in the UK (unbelievable but true - you don't even have to have one in the car). 7:30 Enrichment at its best.
There were cones all around them from the roadworks though, could easily steal a couple of them to make them more visible
Highway code rule 275 includes the phrase "Never attempt to place a warning triangle on a motorway". Strange but true.
Clips 6 and 15 say it all, why are so many drivers obsessed with saving mere seconds off a journey?
4:35 It was your attitude that made their poor driving a problem for you. It was very clear that they weren't taking the exit, both looking at their indicators and road positioning. Instead of recognising the hazard and giving them space to minimise risk, you chose to carry on like they weren't there so you could berate them on the horn for their mistake. Their driving was poor, they should have just accepted the mistake and taken the exit, but that still doesn't excuse your abysmal attitude
He wasn't even in the right lane himself as he was just going straight across.As you say, rather than just back off, they chose to risk collision. Indicators were clear from the off what the van was doing, and regardless of it being in the wrong lane to turn right, it was clearly indicated and the cam car chose to be an angry little twat.

#18, the Merc driver knew they’d fxxxxx up, assumption…
I want to know where the ending clip is filmed!
no 13, Twickenham. I'm surprised not to have seen an accident on the other side of the roundabout. 3 lanes enter, left for left turn only. Middle goes straight on, in the left lane around it. Right lane, straight on or turn right.
About 1/4 of the cars in the middle lane just drive straight into the lane for cars on their right, or rather, they change lanes without looking or indicating halfway around.
i think everyone should have to do their A1 prior to getting any others, I'm as stubborn as they come and never checked blind spots until i got on 2 wheels
Everyone knows it is 7 swans……
7:25 I was curious if that car was taxed or mot'd, so did a search. That reg number came back as tax expiring Dec 2020 and MOT expiring 10 Jan 2021.
5:15 What alternate universe is this where there are Mk2 Primeras and Bedford CFs still on the road??
Comment on the comments about 'blind spots' in cars. There is NO such thing as a 'blind spot' in a car, there's just a few 'I can't be bothered to look properly spots.' In vans and trucks there are some blind spots that the driver needs mirrors properly set to check in, and failure to set the mirrors or use them is another driver fault along the same lines of being idiotically stupid.
In the good old days of wing mirror there was a better view alongside the vehicle, sadly too many cyclists and pedestrians getting hurt they were moved to the door. As you said lots are not set right or even used. Another point is to position your vehicle to give a clue to other drivers in addition to the turn signal.
#4 I'd say failing brakes given the brake lights were on for a while and look like driver was trying to rub against the grass bank.
0:22.., T727 JUG..., gotcha!
I actually despise insurance scammers probably more than killers.
Glad the BMW driver was fined and handed points, no respect at all, should have his licence taken away

13 i dont think the merc fucked up, hard to tell when he was stuck behind the other cars, the biker should gfive way to those alreasy on the roundabout. in cardiff there is a roundabout with a 20mph limit on it and 2 lanes that go right, but if you go 20mph the other cars coming onto thte roundabout going 30 end up on the outside of you because theure entance lane is your exit lane, its daft and dangerous

Roundabouts clearly aren’t fit for purpose. Invariably these are where collisions seem to occur the most.

“Well done cammer for not honking because the Mercedes’ knew”…??? 7:04. Because that’s what the horn is for - telling someone after the fact, that they previously made a mistake? Wtf?! It’s to warn others of your presence if you believe they’ve not yet seen you, before a potential error.

First one what did he get community service ?
9:38 Cammer did nothing legally wrong there, but it was pretty bad driving. The entire clip I could tell it was going to be an issue like this because the cars weren't staggered enough. Hold off for two seconds, especially when entering a roundabout, to give people space, instead of just blindly assuming other users will do what you expect. I know this is mentioned but to say "Cammer did nothing wrong" gives the false impression that holding back to minimise risk there is an optional, superfluous precaution
3.07 use door mirror to check blind spot not look over shoulder. that is something motorcyclists do.

No 11 not from around here?
Yes we have a lot of roundabouts in the Netherlands, but not at that way . 3 years ago i was driven in London it was horrible to drive with GB roundabout rules😡🥵😀
I found the roundabouts in the UK different and harder to navigate on although I experienced no problems. But I would have never thought of backing up on a roundabout :)
Funny how most of the time you say the cammer is in the right yet half of them would fail their test the way they drive now, for instance not letting a car over take, you're taught to slow down and let them overtake. If you did that in your test that would be a major fault and you'd fail your test.
What's that foreigner doing getting out of his car YC59 YRZ ? This is England, you don't do that in a country that's not yours!
Glasgow's in Scotland by the way nevertheless, the BMW driver is still a bloody moron and a w**ker for his behaviour and reaction.
half the drivers on here, i would not trust riding a donkey
3:55 Actually 99% of the Dutch roundabouts are single lane ones! And the ones that are dual (or more) can only be exited from the outer lanes / and even are separated by higher ridges!...... As a Dutch guy i find the roundabout videoS always confusing since in ONE video a cammer meets an asswipe doing the wrong manouvre and in the next video the same asswipe manouvre is done by the cammer and that's okay. (on the same type of roundabout)......soooo
Roundabouts vary a lot. Many dual lane ones have the one lane exiting at the next exit and the other lane exiting at the second exit, and some allow both lanes to exit at the second exit.
This is where vehicle indicators should be used and better signage.
I'm with Patrick :) The UK roundabouts always seem very unclear as who can exit and who can continue on the roundabout.
Does the inner lane always give way on the exit?
Going to the UK later this year so would be nice to know ;)
@@BH-FZ6 Most UK roundabouts with lots of lanes are setup as a spiral so lanes slowly head off at each exit. This means if you join in the inner lane you'll be at the outer lane(s) by the time you reach your exit. As long as no one messes up what lane they're in you shouldn't have any conflicts at exits.
I drive in Vietnam and new roads by me are four lanes in each direction, the two nearside are for motorbikes the next for trucks and the fourth for coaches and cars. This only works when the police are not around. Roundabouts even though they have four lanes everybody uses the inner most lane, the right of way is the largest vehicle whos on the roundabout or approaching it. Approaching vehicle that wish to take the first exit signal right, all other signal left and then signal right after passing the exit before. Trucks just use the hazard lights for what ever they wish to do. Motorcyclist who have found the exit they want, may signal and the leave it on for the rest of the journey. they will also peel across to one of the outside lanes. At rush hour there's hundreds of them weaving in and out.
The difficult one is making a right turn across the MC lanes, I signal early and gradually move over in my SUV, the local driver stop when they reach the turn and then attempt the turn that takes for ages.
Watching these videos just makes me laugh and I can't wait to drive in the UK again, it's so easy there.
8.30 Immigrants give Britain so many new exciting diverse experiences.....😀
Why do most roadways not have any 'shoulders' rather than concrete curbs? Those concreate curbs are a major danger to drivers who have nowhere to go when a reckless driver pushes them while changing lanes without looking. I don't get it. Those roadways in the UK are too narrow too. It's a nation thing, I guess.
The concrete barriers are there because of the roadworks in progress.
A burk in a merc as per usual.

@6:30 - P plates do not exist in the UK, only in Australia and New Zealand
P and R plates do exist in the UK, both are very common.
Yes I agree with @george barnes - P plates do indeed exist and I see them quite often.
5:15 drunk ?
More likely the driver is from a country where LH drive is used.
That would be about 90% of the earth land surfaces.
I would suggest both.
Drunk and from a country that uses LH drive cars.
It was clear they genuinely thought that driving on the right was correct (understandable and easily done if your new to the country and/or distracted or driving on 'autopilot'), however the fact they then saw multiple cars coming towards them in the same lane should have immediately clued them in ("Oh! that's right we drive on the left here.") but the fact they were already driving overly slow (overcompensation is common in drunk drivers) then just stopped and sat there for such a long time indicates they REALLY didn't know what was going on.
Its not a complicated thought process to go through when you have multiple cars driving towards you in the same lane. It IS complicated if you happen to be under some type of influence at the time.
90%? Australia, India, half of Africa etc are very large countries so no, not 90%

Earth land surface is not a statistic relevant to left- or right-hand driving.

Surely the bike should have been BEHIND the merc 4,x,4 ....not undertaking on the inside lane
Had he ridden WITHIN the law , the Mercedes would have been no issue to him
Bicycle riders and motorcyclists seem to follow a different highway code to the rest of us
Why would the biker be behind the Merc when he clearly wants to use a different lane?
perfectly legal for a biker to choose which side of a vehicle to position himself, so no, he was within the law.
The biker had a clear lane, it was a roundabout, the traffic in the right lane was slow which is why the Mercedes tried to switch lanes without looking first. It was not undertaking.
Oh so it happens in the UK as well does it? I thought this was only an American problem. I'm talking about not doing the roundabouts correctly. Man if the UK can't manage this, UK the HOME of the roundabout, what chance do the rest of us have?
That's because they're badly designed. Check out Dutch roundabouts, they leave a lot less room for error.
Does the sun ever shine in your dreary country?
Yes. Sometimes.
