All clips should be subtitled... "I appear to have my invisibility switched on and everyone seems to have a death wish! Great video Sir! kinda wanted that granny to go flying after all that time waiting... haha

[DashcamLeicester]

Great clips mate. The stupidity of some people amazes me sometimes...

[Southampton_Dash_Cam_SO]

Great set mate. Thought you actually hit the ambulance!

[JebChode]

Nice compilation! I was raging watching some of these LOL

For the people who are saying that I deliberately drove at a child! I was totally in control of my vehicle as I was going slow anyway and braking for the junction. I put the video on their to get people's opinions about that situation. So il ask the question, if your on the pavement and see a bus or any other vehicle coming towards you, you would step off the kerb and expect that vehicle to stop?! And for people thinking I was far away, the wide angle lens on the camera makes things appear further away than they are. I estimate I was 15-20 feet away from pulling up to the junction, Lights on and signalling to turn right.

Some road users have such poor spatial awareness it's pretty shocking! Nice Panigale that police man was riding.

[Obliterate]

Nice clips! I don't get why you stopped for the old lady but not the man with the pushchair? Probably would have been the other way around for me! Also I don't get the purpose of the red paint at the junction? Never seen that before

[laugesen]

Could't agree more. Not yelding to the peds is just rude AND dangerous. Bad form

Nice video, I would love to become a bus driver one day :D

As Rospa states:

"Other road users, therefore, should exercise greater care when pedestrians are nearby, and be prepared for unexpected actions by the pedestrian."

I think she knew it was a road, but you could have been more polite or state the risks to her and her child if you had been going faster - you don't know what was going through her mind when she stupidly stepped out. Otherwise, looks like good and safe driving :-)

Great collection of clips. If I had a large vehicle I'd just ram the idiots who just pull out or do not look properly, its just unreal how on earth we all have to be extra cautious and accommodate them, when common sense and courtesy is a 2 way thing. Sadly its getting worse and the idiots keep getting away with it.

1:51 you're on the speed bump as the pram is about to cross. 99% of people crossing would think you were about to stop there. Fair enough people do it every day, I'm guilty of it myself, the issue is people don't put it on YouTube and chastise others. No ones being reported here, you put it up for discussion I'm guessing?

I know you think you were doing the right thing with the old dear at 4.50 but tbh mate that was a poor call 1. You were holding up your lane of traffic while she dithered about and 2. When she did eventually cross if she had been hit by a fast moving car/motorbike in the right lane you could have been blameworthy as that was not a pedestrian crossing.
Also what gets me is you see someone with a kid in a stroller already crossing the road and you don't stop for them but you sit and wait and wait for an old dear who hasn't even began to cross! That's bad driving in my book.

1:49 - The woman SHOULD have stopped as you were already on that road, coming up to the junction.
Some will say that YOU should have stopped but they are wrong, check out the link for the Highway Code (PDF). Page 74 section 3 Road Junctions.

Anymore video clips in the pipeline mate?

[UKSegue]

Why did you drive at that person crossing the road and then act as if it wasn't their right of way???
