Matt, Golf driver is a knob! when someone is that desperate to be in front of me and behaves in a similar fashion I will drop back to a safe distance and follow. Match every speed change and lane change at a safe distance until it takes me out of my way. Believe me this certainly makes a 100mile journey go quickly

@0:40 Love how the Mini Cooper driver beeps and for a second you think hmm maybe this is a learner but nope it’s jut really heavy traffic. Made me fucking laugh. 🤣
5:43 I've had this exact thing happen before where someone is miles behind, I indicate and go to move and then he speeds up more as if he's saying he owned the road and I wasn't allowed to do that. He even reached over his wife to give me a middle finger, was hilariously childish
I had someone do that this morning to me just after I joined a motorway feed-road. I indicate to move and the guy immediately pulls up into the space I wanted. I slowed down to let him pass and slot in behind, and he matches my speed. He ended up pinning me into a lane that goes Southbound when I needed to go northbound. Thankfully there was a red light where we both stopped, and the driver behind him (who saw the whole thing go down) made sure to let me get into the northbound lane when the light went green, so I didn't lose all faith in other drivers.
Also get where you can be seen in their mirrors and flash your lights so they can see you and get ready to reverse yourself if you can. It's still a stupid move by the bus driver.
Yeah, blame the cammer for the fact that the bus driver reverses without a signpost in a place he cannot see. When reversing, a bus driver must ensure that he can do so safely.
@Moni-y1q Hmmm, no one was blaming the cammer for the collision. Both myself and mrxmry3264 were pointing out what the cammer could have done to prevent the issue from happening. It's pretty obvious that it's the buses fault, however the filling in of paperwork, having to use a courtesy car and other losses could have been prevented or at least lessened with some horn / positioning and flashing of headlights.
Harry D clearly prefers being right to being safe. Joe S sent in a none event. 6:27-6:37: I'm all for pedestrians to learn to cross a road safely, but it's a prime example of why you shouldn't think it's safe because of a green light. And Simon H needs to learn to use the horn sooner.
At the point the pedestrian started crossing that light would have been red as lights are designed to stay red long enough to let elderly and disabled cross safely, 100% pedestrian crossed while crossing light was red
@RyanCallier I know that road, I used to go down there daily. Peds are fucking idiots on it, light can be green and they still cross without looking, and it's a 40 road so the Golf (in a very rare turn of events) probably wasn't even speeding, just continuing on at 40 because he saw the lights changing.
@RyanCallier That wouldn't get you off the charges but the court may go 50/50 on culpability. As a driver you have to be 100% aware and focused around other road users and ready to stop fast, as the driver of the white car did perfectly.
@@Bercilakdehautdesert-yt1gd I can tell you from personal experience that is total BS lol because you’re saying the pedestrian would at some point have no responsibility which is very silly
@typicalbrummie3852 I couldn't see any exhausts and it's driven with the lack of ability and interest of an EV driver, plus to be honest its an suv, which trumps all motoring inadequacies...
@@KevinHorrox True, you don’t have that long though from the barrier going down to the train passing so maybe they just thought they were safer where they were than crossing the line, which probably was true, but god knows how they even ended up in that situation in the first place 😂
The barriers are designed to break easily as well so just hit reverse if you end up like that. Better a broken barrier and those consequences than potentially being hit by a train.
I agree with regards to doing nothing to the VW but my god that driving at points was atrocious. They straight-lined one of the roundabouts going from the left lane to the right on the roundabout before exiting back to the left. That VW does need their head checking though
@@dibblethewrecker If you set your cruise control to 64, you'll likely be doing around 60. Speedos are always calibrated with excess MPH. 75 on my car reads 70 on GPS, so that's what I set my CC to.
Much more than that, if you watch frame by frame and plot it on Google Earth (I've calculated it at roughly 85m in 2 seconds = >90mph). Their car is now untaxed (but MOT'd) leaving me to wonder if they've wrapped it around a tree or something since October (when the tax ran out)......??
@@oakwood6922 I got 70 metres - from 'Bus Stop' painted on the road to the end of the crash barrier - in exactly two seconds (give or take a frame) from 6:12 to 6:14. Initially I was getting the same result as you. That was assuming 25 frames per second, but weirdly it seems to be around 29 or 30.
He was trying to get in gear and reverse - given the driver didn't hear either the horn or even the fact he hit the car, reversing back was possibly better if he'd been able to get in gear
@@petersylvester2905 Depends. If the horn is on the end of the indicator stalk then unless you have two left hands it's awkward to operate the horn and the gear lever at the same time.
@imbethondion4572 not really, I've owned many classic cars, still got one, it's easy to use your right hand to indicate (or honk) whilst turning the wheel and changing gear going round a roundabout or whatever, this was stationary.
Ben 2:20 After having watched someone stuck on the box, Ben then sets off into the box before the other car has cleared it. Given that we've just seen them stopped in a bizarre way, that's the last thing I'd do there. If ever there was a time to properly observe a box junction that was it.
3:03 ah yes the classic manoeuvre of "if I hang my bonnet halfway over the stop/give way line it means I can go whenever I like". 3:25 Jay from the inbetweeners lol "give way to the fackin left!"
Lothian DC I feel like you're maybe a bit too keen to blame someone else. You could see that driver pulling out for a while, yes they were a bit slow dont think it needs saving on a dash cam lol. The blue van clip, never known anyone to be so quick to put the horn on when the van had good reactions and stopped as soon as he noticed you
Expecting the van driver to be telepathic when he was the one with the clear view of the van indicating to pull out into the same gap before they had even joined the same road. Not the worst driving, but submitting the clip does suggest a complete lack of awareness.
1:24 good old Gillygate in York... I've seen a few drivers do this a few times. Not sure if it's due to impatience, arrogance or simply not reading the lights properly. The right side of the traffic lights turn green with an arrow. At the same time the crossing for peds turns green. The two cars should have turned down Bootham, but I have seen some drivers get confused at this junction believing they can go down Gillygate instead.
5:00 Matt, you did nothing wrong and that's already been pointed out in other comments. But I would question whether you had a bit of a glance at the Golf driver as you went past? If you did, that's like a rag to a bull with some tiny ego road ragers.
I'm going to say to the Cammer it was a bad idea to enter that yellow box until the other driver was well out - they clearly were driving like they had no clue what was going on.
@@Sp3cTechNot at all, at this particular crossing you’ve got half barriers. If you find yourself in this situation, you’ve got about 20 seconds before the train comes so just to drive over and away from the crossing. Unfortunately the sorts of drivers who find themselves in these situations are the ones who don’t think like that. I was fully expecting a panicked reverse through the barrier… something they are also designed for!
Last clip really really late on the horn there, looks to me when you saw the reverse lights come on you saw a payout coming your way so waited for the impact. lol
Just a thought, but has he passed the stop line and then the amber lights have come on? He’s slammed the anchors on in a blind panic and just stayed put?
@@katyb6979 I'm not really seeing that as an excuse. It's not like they didn't have time to complete getting over the crossing. They're fortunate they had enough room to stay back from the tracks, otherwise we're seeing a major incident. If someone is panicked by an amber light to the point they just stop on a level crossing and get trapped between the barriers, then their driving privileges need to be reviewed...providing they get out of it unharmed.
I don’t t know we’re you been living for the last 50 years conducter’s/bankman stopped being used in the 70’s bus drivers pay is poor so their not going to pay someone for 12 hours to travel around on buses just in case they have to reverse yours sincerely ex bus driver with 35 years
@@MichaelDouglas-gc8fcIt’s certainly the rule at First and Lothian that a banksman is needed to reverse on a public road. It’s not an actual role, just another driver.
5:22 now that is lane hogging, for those who just call everyone a lane hogger. Take note of the difference between what this driver is doing and most of the other clips you moan about. 😂
Lane hogging = being in anything other than the left lane unless you are immediately overtaking. Yes it is lane hogging to pass a vehicle and stay in the middle lane if you are not going to pass the next vehicle for 30s for example. If the left lane is empty, unless you would have to go in and straight out again, you should be moving left
09:51 Try using the horn before the bus hits you next time. Bonus tip: Driving isn't a Vehicular version of Hide and Seek. Try to keep yourself / vehicle in view of the mirrors especially when in a smaller vehicle ( That's why I put my head over Mrs Eagles shoulder when approaching from behind 😅)
Going by Matts video. I do find a lot of people these days who sit in the outside lane, decide to speed up when they pull in or let you overtake for some reason. No idea why
Also, most proper bus companies prohibit reversing on public roads without a banksman. That was certainly the case years ago when I parked for First and more recently when I needed a Lothian bus to reverse back from a failed Level Crossing he had to wait on another driver turning up to see him back.
3:25 To be fair Caitlyn, you didn't stop for the red car... 6:12 Guessing around 60mph without calculation, easily 50+. 7:18 Fair but which lane do you want to be in Peter? All of them? 10:02 That bus even had it's own caption - "Bus it right back" 😅
6:09 We don't need to guess - We can calculate it from the GPS, distance covered via Google Earth, time and watching frame by frame..... 'AY64 NAU ' was traveling in excess of 90mph (at a rough calculation of 85m in exactly 2 seconds (60 frames at 30fps)).....
I suspect the impatient mini driver (@ 0.30) may perhaps find one day they've tested someone else's patience a little to much and find their car decorated with a brick......
I’m looking at the last clip and thinking it must be an early 70s car with those flared wing tips - Hillman Avenger? Either way it needs new brake shoes / pads!
6:08 By my (very rough!) calculations, based on the raw assumptions that it took the Fiesta 5.5 frames to cover one warning line and space (4 meters line and 2 meters spacing) and assuming the video is 30 frames per second, means it would be travelling at 0.183 seconds per 6 meters, making it 32.727 meters per second, meaning a very very rough calculation would indicate that it was doing 73 mph. Motorway speeds in a 40mph area is wild
Matt 4:56, just let it go! There's far too many easily triggered idiots like that to be getting troubled about. Let them worry about one-upmanship and you focus instead about about arriving at your destination safe and soundly. Everyday someone perfectly innocent will suffer at the hands of these inconsiderate bastards.
I thought at first you were referring to the low-level repeater of the main stop-light on the left, for cyclists. But now I see you mean the pedestrian lights for pedestrians on the far pavement, which are on that pavement, pointing towards us and towards pedestrians waiting on that pavement. On Streetview, you can see their pairs on the left pavement, pointing away from us, but towards the pedestrians that crossed in the video. The pedestrian lights are red at the beginning and end of the clip, as you say, but the pedestrians have a brief green phase in the middle of the clip. They try to use it, only to be almost run over by cars dis-obeying their own lights. It's the corner of Bootham (the A19) and Gillygate (the A1036) in York. I've given a fuller description of the junction in a reply to InevitableMayo
Ben, submit that footage to the cops. The Puma driver stopping inside an automatic crossing could have caused a serious accident and is a fatality waiting to happen.
Some people just cannot drive or even understand the Highway Code lmao. The amount of stupid accidents that happen is easily avoided if drivers follow the limits and concentrate whilst driving.
8:05 I finally recognise a location in a clip! I know exactly where this is and i recognise the parked BMW with the bronze rims. I should not be this happy about recognising a place where a van almost got hit but im quite elated.
2:48 - That isn't the first time those lights at Bryn Cross have been pointing in the wrong direction. I reported the exact same issue a couple of years ago. It's reassuring to know Wigan Council have made sure it couldn't happen again. 🙄
9:50 anyone know what the Cam-car is here? I thought maybe a Vauxhall Viva but the tops of the wings look to be too wide. Either way it’s sad to see a classic getting hit as a result of someone else’s incompetence
Last clip - hmm this bus is reversing.... best keep an eye.... uh oh he's getting closer, he obviously doesn't know I'm here. No horn just yet though, not close enough..... wait.....wait....wait.....ok now the bus is 1cm from my bumper, it's horn time baby.
Classic cars may well be MOT exempt but they still have to be of roadworthy condition, the sound from that last clip suggests the suspension was connected to the car via Bluetooth and those brakes were metal on metal!!
Brakes can sound like that you just don't hear it as much in newer cars cause of all the sound proofing. Also even with new pads and disks this can happen if you've not put a bit of grease between where the pad slides against the caliper hanger . My car brakes will just randomly make the same sound yet it's had new pads and disks and only passed a test in August.
6:40 with the lorry lane change - I hate when they put a hatching (is that the right word?) between 2 lanes, as if they're going different places, and then it turns out they meet again later. Makes drivers nervous and causes panic moves, as we see a Range Rover do in the clip.
In Ben's clip there is definitely something wrong with those traffic lights. The peds had a green man telling them to go. Unless all those cars ran a red light, they also had a green, which puts the peds in danger. Something not right there.
The first two cars that turned towards the cammer were definitely breaking the law. The third one probably also was, given the dead time that is normally provided between the end of a pedestrian phase and any conflicting vehicle movements being given a green. I've looked at the junction on StreetView. I'll repeat what I explained above to someone who thought that it was the pedestrians that had ignored a red light! It's the corner of Bootham (the A19) and Gillygate (the A1036) in York. We are coming out of Gillygate, with Bootham on our right. Bootham bends sharply right just after the junction, becoming St Leonards Place, which continues in the same direction as Gillygate but after a shuffle left then right for traffic coming from our direction. The road markings show Bootham-St Leonards Place as the main road with Gillygate as a side road, but the road numbering makes Gillygate-St Leonards Place a single route, the A1036, with the A19 terminating temporarily here. Traffic coming out of St Leonard's Place has two lanes, one on the left for following the main road as marked on the ground, i.e. for physically turning left into Bootham, and one on the right for continuing along the A1036 into Gillygate by turning part of the way left towards Bootham but then turning right off the main road, crossing the oncoming lane on the main road. These lanes will have had a green and a red light respectively at the time of the video; the pedestrians had a green to cross Gillygate, protected by the red on the right lane, and "ahead only" lights on Bootham. (The green lights already pointed out in other comments were definitely for the pedestrians; they and their pairs on the other side are absolutely clear on StreetView.) The miscreant cars either passed a red in the right-hand lane coming out of St Leonard's place, or were in the left lane and passed a green arrow light indicating that they had to turn left from that lane, and also a permanent sign on the post indicating they had to, and repeated road markings saying the same -- all of which they ignored.

5:43 I've had this exact thing happen before where someone is miles behind, I indicate and go to move and then he speeds up more as if he's saying he owned the road and I wasn't allowed to do that. He even reached over his wife to give me a middle finger, was hilariously childish
I had someone do that this morning to me just after I joined a motorway feed-road. I indicate to move and the guy immediately pulls up into the space I wanted. I slowed down to let him pass and slot in behind, and he matches my speed. He ended up pinning me into a lane that goes Southbound when I needed to go northbound. Thankfully there was a red light where we both stopped, and the driver behind him (who saw the whole thing go down) made sure to let me get into the northbound lane when the light went green, so I didn't lose all faith in other drivers.
last clip: next time don't wait so long, start honking when he starts reversing.
Also get where you can be seen in their mirrors and flash your lights so they can see you and get ready to reverse yourself if you can. It's still a stupid move by the bus driver.
Yeah, blame the cammer for the fact that the bus driver reverses without a signpost in a place he cannot see. When reversing, a bus driver must ensure that he can do so safely.
@@Potts1966 the cammer did reverse
@Moni-y1q Hmmm, no one was blaming the cammer for the collision. Both myself and mrxmry3264 were pointing out what the cammer could have done to prevent the issue from happening. It's pretty obvious that it's the buses fault, however the filling in of paperwork, having to use a courtesy car and other losses could have been prevented or at least lessened with some horn / positioning and flashing of headlights.
@@georgebarnes8163 yes
Harry D clearly prefers being right to being safe.
Joe S sent in a none event.
6:27-6:37: I'm all for pedestrians to learn to cross a road safely, but it's a prime example of why you shouldn't think it's safe because of a green light.
And Simon H needs to learn to use the horn sooner.
Well, at least we know what the D in Harry D means.
At the point the pedestrian started crossing that light would have been red as lights are designed to stay red long enough to let elderly and disabled cross safely, 100% pedestrian crossed while crossing light was red
@RyanCallier I know that road, I used to go down there daily. Peds are fucking idiots on it, light can be green and they still cross without looking, and it's a 40 road so the Golf (in a very rare turn of events) probably wasn't even speeding, just continuing on at 40 because he saw the lights changing.
@RyanCallier That wouldn't get you off the charges but the court may go 50/50 on culpability. As a driver you have to be 100% aware and focused around other road users and ready to stop fast, as the driver of the white car did perfectly.
@@Bercilakdehautdesert-yt1gd I can tell you from personal experience that is total BS lol because you’re saying the pedestrian would at some point have no responsibility which is very silly
The kids on the bike actually stopped and said sorry?
Now that's a rare thing these days. Well done lads.
Forget COTW, Darwin Award for the level crossing driver.
It's an EV, no need to say anything more..
Why would they even stop there, road looked clear ahead
@@Jabarri74 EV.... says it all...
@billyskoda6839 They didn't make a Ford Puma EV for the 21MY.
@typicalbrummie3852 I couldn't see any exhausts and it's driven with the lack of ability and interest of an EV driver, plus to be honest its an suv, which trumps all motoring inadequacies...
1:33 is probably the most terrifying few minutes of that driver's life.
Talk about high risk/low reward.
I don’t know how they managed that it doesn’t look like there’s even a traffic build up further ahead!
the worst part is that the barrier doesn't even go all the way across. They could've easily paid attention and gotten across and to safety
@@KevinHorrox True, you don’t have that long though from the barrier going down to the train passing so maybe they just thought they were safer where they were than crossing the line, which probably was true, but god knows how they even ended up in that situation in the first place 😂
doubt it if you really felt in danger surely you'd smash the barrier behind you or at least get out of the car if you thought it was gonna be hit
The barriers are designed to break easily as well so just hit reverse if you end up like that. Better a broken barrier and those consequences than potentially being hit by a train.
5:02… The VW driver was a jumped up little runt with ideas above his station.
I agree with regards to doing nothing to the VW but my god that driving at points was atrocious. They straight-lined one of the roundabouts going from the left lane to the right on the roundabout before exiting back to the left. That VW does need their head checking though
@@carlhalstead thats called advanced driving.
Well, Matt was knowingly going 64 in a 60... so I wouldn't say "nothing" wrong.
@@dibblethewrecker If you set your cruise control to 64, you'll likely be doing around 60. Speedos are always calibrated with excess MPH. 75 on my car reads 70 on GPS, so that's what I set my CC to.
@@warpvibe Try that in court and see where it gets you.
6:08 Using the power of maths we can deduce the Fiesta is travelling at 78 mph.
I said 72… Wasn’t far off your maths
Much more than that, if you watch frame by frame and plot it on Google Earth (I've calculated it at roughly 85m in 2 seconds = >90mph). Their car is now untaxed (but MOT'd) leaving me to wonder if they've wrapped it around a tree or something since October (when the tax ran out)......??
@@oakwood6922 I got 70 metres - from 'Bus Stop' painted on the road to the end of the crash barrier - in exactly two seconds (give or take a frame) from 6:12 to 6:14.
Initially I was getting the same result as you. That was assuming 25 frames per second, but weirdly it seems to be around 29 or 30.
The last one, I guess he should have left his car at home like the bus suggested 😂
9:30 cam car being driven by mr bean?
9:50 Why did it take five seconds before you thought about beeping the horn?
He was trying to get in gear and reverse - given the driver didn't hear either the horn or even the fact he hit the car, reversing back was possibly better if he'd been able to get in gear
@Gobtik can't you do both at the same time?
@@petersylvester2905 Depends. If the horn is on the end of the indicator stalk then unless you have two left hands it's awkward to operate the horn and the gear lever at the same time.
@imbethondion4572 not really, I've owned many classic cars, still got one, it's easy to use your right hand to indicate (or honk) whilst turning the wheel and changing gear going round a roundabout or whatever, this was stationary.
3 hours later they charge gear lol
I love seeing the snow videos because it's so rare
7:39 - Hubert W - Where was the stop line?
They were probably past it
🤣🤣🤣 that last clips car has theeeeee worst brakes in EVER🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ben 2:20 After having watched someone stuck on the box, Ben then sets off into the box before the other car has cleared it. Given that we've just seen them stopped in a bizarre way, that's the last thing I'd do there. If ever there was a time to properly observe a box junction that was it.
3:03 ah yes the classic manoeuvre of "if I hang my bonnet halfway over the stop/give way line it means I can go whenever I like".
3:25 Jay from the inbetweeners lol "give way to the fackin left!"
"Guess the speed of the Fiesta"...Warp?
*He's going Plaid!"
Stolen mph
@@kavyman1066Use the Schwarz!
9:30 that was so easy to avoid. 😂 Just ease off the gas next time.
9:50 Pretty sure that bus was being driven by SmilerBob!
Oh yes, very witty!
Lothian DC I feel like you're maybe a bit too keen to blame someone else. You could see that driver pulling out for a while, yes they were a bit slow dont think it needs saving on a dash cam lol. The blue van clip, never known anyone to be so quick to put the horn on when the van had good reactions and stopped as soon as he noticed you
Expecting the van driver to be telepathic when he was the one with the clear view of the van indicating to pull out into the same gap before they had even joined the same road. Not the worst driving, but submitting the clip does suggest a complete lack of awareness.
1:24 good old Gillygate in York... I've seen a few drivers do this a few times. Not sure if it's due to impatience, arrogance or simply not reading the lights properly. The right side of the traffic lights turn green with an arrow. At the same time the crossing for peds turns green. The two cars should have turned down Bootham, but I have seen some drivers get confused at this junction believing they can go down Gillygate instead.
Wouldn't it have been the _left lane that had a green arrow indicating compulsory left turn, and the right would have a red?
3:48 Harry D CoTW. How much time did that cost you vs how much time it would have cost to life your foot off the accelerator for half a second?
harmless bit of justice.. police wouldn't do anything against minor infringements like not giving way anyways.
5:00 Matt, you did nothing wrong and that's already been pointed out in other comments. But I would question whether you had a bit of a glance at the Golf driver as you went past? If you did, that's like a rag to a bull with some tiny ego road ragers.
1:37 not a cammer but he wins COTW regardless. Cottage cheese between the ears.
That's a real VW banker
From what you can see from the dashcamm footage the total damage on the green car is about £5.
£5 3s/6d to be exact....
It appeared to have done £37.50 worth of improvements.

9:24 I think there’s a good reason that BMW didn’t/couldn’t see you! 😂
7:59 - that definitely one of those 'scrunch your face up and grit your teeth' moments. 😬
Teodor R - so busy wanting to use his horn on the other driver that he forgot to steer and slow down, so now he's run over a high kerb.
@1:55 Jeeze at least move don't just sit in the box like a total lemon. These sorts of people need to retake their test.
I'm going to say to the Cammer it was a bad idea to enter that yellow box until the other driver was well out - they clearly were driving like they had no clue what was going on.
@@Sp3cTech It takes a special kind of half wit to get in that position in the first place, but you're right, staying put was the best option
@@Sp3cTechthe barriers are literally designed to break in situations like this
@@gavinminion8515actually, I think they were driving like they just shat their pants which they probably had done.
@@Sp3cTechNot at all, at this particular crossing you’ve got half barriers. If you find yourself in this situation, you’ve got about 20 seconds before the train comes so just to drive over and away from the crossing.
Unfortunately the sorts of drivers who find themselves in these situations are the ones who don’t think like that. I was fully expecting a panicked reverse through the barrier… something they are also designed for!
Last clip really really late on the horn there, looks to me when you saw the reverse lights come on you saw a payout coming your way so waited for the impact. lol
1:40 Takes a special kind of stupid to end up in that situation.
Just a thought, but has he passed the stop line and then the amber lights have come on? He’s slammed the anchors on in a blind panic and just stayed put?
@@katyb6979 I'm not really seeing that as an excuse. It's not like they didn't have time to complete getting over the crossing. They're fortunate they had enough room to stay back from the tracks, otherwise we're seeing a major incident.
If someone is panicked by an amber light to the point they just stop on a level crossing and get trapped between the barriers, then their driving privileges need to be reviewed...providing they get out of it unharmed.
Buses shouldn’t be reversing without a banksman
Probably a dinghy driver,they don't look behind them!
I don’t t know we’re you been living for the last 50 years conducter’s/bankman stopped being used in the 70’s bus drivers pay is poor so their not going to pay someone for 12 hours to travel around on buses just in case they have to reverse yours sincerely ex bus driver with 35 years
@@MichaelDouglas-gc8fcIt’s certainly the rule at First and Lothian that a banksman is needed to reverse on a public road. It’s not an actual role, just another driver.
2025 and so many are still using potato cam
Not Tommy though. His is lovely.
Any recommendations for dashcams? Want to get myself a good quality one
You would think that with all the CCTVs the UK has, no one would dare to break the law. Guess they are never looked at.
5:22 now that is lane hogging, for those who just call everyone a lane hogger. Take note of the difference between what this driver is doing and most of the other clips you moan about. 😂
Lane hogging = being in anything other than the left lane unless you are immediately overtaking. Yes it is lane hogging to pass a vehicle and stay in the middle lane if you are not going to pass the next vehicle for 30s for example. If the left lane is empty, unless you would have to go in and straight out again, you should be moving left
@Gobtik exactly, I agree totally.
9:50 - Does your horn only work on impact?
5:00 I've had a few people do the same thing, all young lads with the PCP special and rocking SDE
They are too young for insurance on BMW and drive polos like they stole them.
The more i watch these videos, the more i think i need a dashcam .. shocking selfish driving .
09:51 Try using the horn before the bus hits you next time. Bonus tip: Driving isn't a Vehicular version of Hide and Seek. Try to keep yourself / vehicle in view of the mirrors especially when in a smaller vehicle ( That's why I put my head over Mrs Eagles shoulder when approaching from behind 😅)
1:34 Those level crossing barriers somehow looked like a coffin lid being closed. 🤷♂ Do these people know they need help?
Love seeing places near where i live.
8:20 I can't think of a witty saying for this clip
LOL he fails to stop before the train barrier but then when it opens he fails to start
All the piss in the footwell made his shoes too slippery to work the pedals.
Going by Matts video. I do find a lot of people these days who sit in the outside lane, decide to speed up when they pull in or let you overtake for some reason. No idea why
Do busses not have reversing cameras these days??
Also, most proper bus companies prohibit reversing on public roads without a banksman. That was certainly the case years ago when I parked for First and more recently when I needed a Lothian bus to reverse back from a failed Level Crossing he had to wait on another driver turning up to see him back.
Is that a Hillman imp or another classic car the bus driver reversed into?
Could be an expensive day for the bus company!
5:43 shrek and donkey looking at each other, 'do you think he's compensating for something'
well done harry D you great big pillock achieveing nothing but making the situation worse.
He actually pulled out further into the road to stop the other car. What a petty minded little turd.
3:25 To be fair Caitlyn, you didn't stop for the red car...
6:12 Guessing around 60mph without calculation, easily 50+.
7:18 Fair but which lane do you want to be in Peter? All of them?
10:02 That bus even had it's own caption - "Bus it right back" 😅
6:09 We don't need to guess - We can calculate it from the GPS, distance covered via Google Earth, time and watching frame by frame..... 'AY64 NAU ' was traveling in excess of 90mph (at a rough calculation of 85m in exactly 2 seconds (60 frames at 30fps)).....
I suspect the impatient mini driver (@ 0.30) may perhaps find one day they've tested someone else's patience a little to much and find their car decorated with a brick......
2:48 that green light straight over on the junction is angled weird, points towards where the other car came from.
I’m looking at the last clip and thinking it must be an early 70s car with those flared wing tips - Hillman Avenger?
Either way it needs new brake shoes / pads!
7:21 It’s like Verstappen overtaking Rosberg through chapel at Silverstone… which shouldn’t really be repeated on a normal road!
PeterB @7:18 you might want to check your own driving - how many lanes did you need to use to join the roundabout?
9:10 guy is raging because he owns an awful car
6:08 By my (very rough!) calculations, based on the raw assumptions that it took the Fiesta 5.5 frames to cover one warning line and space (4 meters line and 2 meters spacing) and assuming the video is 30 frames per second, means it would be travelling at 0.183 seconds per 6 meters, making it 32.727 meters per second, meaning a very very rough calculation would indicate that it was doing 73 mph. Motorway speeds in a 40mph area is wild
is the cam car an old Escort or Cortina in the last clip?
Looked and sounded like a Victor FD...
9:50 What car is that? I'm guessing something classic, shame it got hit!
Matt 4:56, just let it go!
There's far too many easily triggered idiots like that to be getting troubled about.
Let them worry about one-upmanship and you focus instead about about arriving at your destination safe and soundly.
Everyday someone perfectly innocent will suffer at the hands of these inconsiderate bastards.
At 1:31 is that not a red don’t cross sign on the right hand side of the screen? There are 2 red signals
I thought at first you were referring to the low-level repeater of the main stop-light on the left, for cyclists. But now I see you mean the pedestrian lights for pedestrians on the far pavement, which are on that pavement, pointing towards us and towards pedestrians waiting on that pavement. On Streetview, you can see their pairs on the left pavement, pointing away from us, but towards the pedestrians that crossed in the video.
The pedestrian lights are red at the beginning and end of the clip, as you say, but the pedestrians have a brief green phase in the middle of the clip. They try to use it, only to be almost run over by cars dis-obeying their own lights.
It's the corner of Bootham (the A19) and Gillygate (the A1036) in York. I've given a fuller description of the junction in a reply to InevitableMayo
Ben, submit that footage to the cops. The Puma driver stopping inside an automatic crossing could have caused a serious accident and is a fatality waiting to happen.
Some people just cannot drive or even understand the Highway Code lmao. The amount of stupid accidents that happen is easily avoided if drivers follow the limits and concentrate whilst driving.
Why is nobody talking about the clip with at the level crossing. Much more interesting than some of the usual nonsense that some folk submit
8:05 I finally recognise a location in a clip! I know exactly where this is and i recognise the parked BMW with the bronze rims. I should not be this happy about recognising a place where a van almost got hit but im quite elated.
2:48 - That isn't the first time those lights at Bryn Cross have been pointing in the wrong direction. I reported the exact same issue a couple of years ago. It's reassuring to know Wigan Council have made sure it couldn't happen again. 🙄
Simon H leaving the warning until after his car had been hit
6:35 I would say both are in the wrong because the pedestrian was supposed to wait but at the same time, the VW Driver was Speeding.
Harry D for TOTW
Anyone have any idea what dashcam Tommy has at 2:43 ?
Lovely PQ innit 👍
9:50 anyone know what the Cam-car is here? I thought maybe a Vauxhall Viva but the tops of the wings look to be too wide. Either way it’s sad to see a classic getting hit as a result of someone else’s incompetence
I was wondering too... MK 2 Cortina maybe?
Awesome Video
1:42 bro would have said blame it on the level crossing
Ben @ 1:35 - I would have waited until that car was well clear of the crossing before moving off
Clearly the person in the train crossing video is Mentally disturbed to do that.
Last clip - hmm this bus is reversing.... best keep an eye.... uh oh he's getting closer, he obviously doesn't know I'm here. No horn just yet though, not close enough..... wait.....wait....wait.....ok now the bus is 1cm from my bumper, it's horn time baby.
How do I turn off that music it's sooooooooooooooooooo annoying !
Classic cars may well be MOT exempt but they still have to be of roadworthy condition, the sound from that last clip suggests the suspension was connected to the car via Bluetooth and those brakes were metal on metal!!
Still, the bus is at fault.
Brakes can sound like that you just don't hear it as much in newer cars cause of all the sound proofing. Also even with new pads and disks this can happen if you've not put a bit of grease between where the pad slides against the caliper hanger . My car brakes will just randomly make the same sound yet it's had new pads and disks and only passed a test in August.
Old cars sound different, much lower levels of NVH.
6:40 with the lorry lane change - I hate when they put a hatching (is that the right word?) between 2 lanes, as if they're going different places, and then it turns out they meet again later.
Makes drivers nervous and causes panic moves, as we see a Range Rover do in the clip.
In Ben's clip there is definitely something wrong with those traffic lights. The peds had a green man telling them to go. Unless all those cars ran a red light, they also had a green, which puts the peds in danger. Something not right there.
The first two cars that turned towards the cammer were definitely breaking the law. The third one probably also was, given the dead time that is normally provided between the end of a pedestrian phase and any conflicting vehicle movements being given a green. I've looked at the junction on StreetView. I'll repeat what I explained above to someone who thought that it was the pedestrians that had ignored a red light!
It's the corner of Bootham (the A19) and Gillygate (the A1036) in York. We are coming out of Gillygate, with Bootham on our right. Bootham bends sharply right just after the junction, becoming St Leonards Place, which continues in the same direction as Gillygate but after a shuffle left then right for traffic coming from our direction. The road markings show Bootham-St Leonards Place as the main road with Gillygate as a side road, but the road numbering makes Gillygate-St Leonards Place a single route, the A1036, with the A19 terminating temporarily here.
Traffic coming out of St Leonard's Place has two lanes, one on the left for following the main road as marked on the ground, i.e. for physically turning left into Bootham, and one on the right for continuing along the A1036 into Gillygate by turning part of the way left towards Bootham but then turning right off the main road, crossing the oncoming lane on the main road. These lanes will have had a green and a red light respectively at the time of the video; the pedestrians had a green to cross Gillygate, protected by the red on the right lane, and "ahead only" lights on Bootham. (The green lights already pointed out in other comments were definitely for the pedestrians; they and their pairs on the other side are absolutely clear on StreetView.)
The miscreant cars either passed a red in the right-hand lane coming out of St Leonard's place, or were in the left lane and passed a green arrow light indicating that they had to turn left from that lane, and also a permanent sign on the post indicating they had to, and repeated road markings saying the same -- all of which they ignored.
Are you aching for the grave, well that's alright were insured ,getting away with it all messed up 😮
9:17 was cammers fault. it's john cena so bmw couldn't see him
9:52 I am assuming by the paint job on that green car he didnt use his horn until hit because he wants a new car or paint job.
