He’s literally on top of the roundabout 😂 some people are just thick and entitled …a dangerous combination

[Enterprise]

That last clip is 100% the main cause of problem drivers on our roads right now, no consequences.

[goodyeoman]

Too many cars on the road combined with limited infrastructure and a gradual decline in manners and an almost complete lack of consequences for driving offences means more danger for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.

As a Fleet qualified ADI (40 years) and in reference to the 1st clip of the Learner at the mini r/b, I have had to do many 'post collision' courses with companies whose drivers have this miss-held belief that when going straight ahead at a mini r/b they have 'right of way' !, worse, they still think they were not at fault even after getting prosecuted.

“Reluctantly reverses” is my personal favourite.

“Stay safe” the man says…good luck with that after watching this montage of clips.

We all occasionally make a mistake, but this video really takes it to an almost comedic level.

[daylen]

Seeing a lot of these clips, it's exactly your videos that made me not be in those situations. I'm sometimes frustrated that I have this fancy expensive dashcam (sadly not a Viofo.. yet!) yet I never have anything interesting to show, but then I realize that the reason is because I avoid these situations after seeing what happens on this channel.

Bus driver will never slam on the brakes for a dog, he will slow just enough to clear, the risk to passengers is too great. Shocking merge from the coach driver.

[genericname]

4:21 As a bus driver myself I would never slam on the brakes if a dog ran out in front of me, particularly if I have standing passengers. Far more dangerous to endanger the lives of 50 people without seatbelts than it is to strike a dog. I'm interested to hear others take on this.

[XenothGaming]

First time watching a video of yours after passing my driving test. Wouldn't be half the driver I am without your videos! Big thanks!

[ollycourt]

'It's that particular make of car again...' Ashley, I think I could hear your eyes rolling as you said it!

[hippophile]

7:09 is potentially lethal - if a child walked out on the pavement from behind that wheelie bin they were going to get squashed. Diabolical driving that I think should be reported. :((

[Jabular]

The bump up the backside that the scooter rider got at the roundabout reminded me of my own incident this week. I was stopped at a junction on my motorcycle waiting to turn left at the bottom of our works road. There was a steady stream of traffic from the right so I relaxed a bit. I eventually saw a gap on the right and started to set off but I was hit at the right rear by a car. I think the guy just looked right and saw it was clear then went without checking his left. He just managed to brake in time luckily for me. I think he just hit my rear mudguard so it didn't cause any damage but it shook me up. I've seen this happen in too many YouTube videos, I hate having to stop at a roundabout or a junction with nothing behind me.

[PedroConejo]

I have no problem with those who physically block people driving the wrong way, so long as it's safe to do so. You may be preventing someone's injury later on. However, you run the risk of getting your car walloped.
That pavement-driving clip at 7:10 would have gone to plod if it had been my clip. Maybe it did, but that was truly dangerous, as were a few other ones there.

[cactusbase]

Last clip sums up our society at the minute not just our roads. They know they are making an illegal moved but know they will not be prosecuted.

[MitchellKJones]

WRONG WAY DOWN A ONE-WAY 😆

I think we need a new one as well maybe, something like:
REMEMBER TO MERGE IN 😂

[smilerbob]

2:19 looks like Derby Road in Burton and that particular road is a nightmare to emerge onto from that exit.Many drivers will turn right and wait in the middle which can cause confusion but a lot of regulars will turn left and do a u-turn at the roundabout a few hundred yards behind the cammer.

Usually quicker and definitely less risk or confusion to others

[stevieinselby]

At 2:20, it's a tricky one. I've been in that situation where I have had an opportunity to pull into the end of the right-turn lane and then wait for a gap to join the main road, without realising that the driver coming up (in the camera car position here) might think that I was going to pull straight out in front of them ... _I_ knew that I wasn't doing anything dangerous, but I can also see that _they_ didn't.

[robshorts]

The Dunning and Kruger effect springs to mind. People with limited knowledge or skills over estimate their ability. But because they don't realise how bad they are, it prevents them from taking steps to improve their knowledge.

[ianmason.]

09:06 Bad news: it's a police vehicle. Good news: it's forensics, because although SOCOs _do_ carry warrant cards and are technically police officers so that they can exercise police powers to seize evidence they are told never _ever_ to arrest anyone. I know this because an old mate became a SOCO and one day when having a pint with him someelse in the bar was being a bit fractious and harassing us. Kev produced this Met police warrant card and quietly said "Stop bothering people and go away.", which worked big time, and led to the question "What are _you_ doing with a police warrant card?".

[DAVE]

its amazing how many drivers don’t think ahead drive badly but still think they are a good driver
