Love this type of video where you just explain what you're doing and what hazards you've got around

Agreed on sensibly using the room you need and being extremely aware of the blindside on left turns. I was in Rochdale last night and my pet hate of e-scooters and e-bikes cutting up the inside fast drove me nuts. Dark clothing and very little lighting at night is a recipe for disaster but they're usually kids and you just cannot instill common sense in them. But if you stop on the grounds of safety when you think there's something in your blind spot the Corsa driver behind you lays on the horn cos his spotty 14yr old pregnant girlfriend is craving a Maccies and you're the bad guy. The next time there's a road safety campaign they should do one on our near side blind spots to make people aware.

Glad you are doing some more POV footage, really enjoyable. Would like to see you try putting the camera facing more down so you can also see the full steering wheel and the cabin controls more.

Said for years the car test should have more than just some theory on HGV's. We only take up a straddle position to protect the car occupants even though it might delay them a few seconds.

5:05 those that cut in close, sometimes setting off the collision detector piss me off!

When people are doing their ordinary driving test in the car they should be taught about giving room to large vehicles on the road

Majority of drivers can actually assess how much you need space and can they also fit in lane aswell.. Partially thats the reason why they go on your right side even if you enter into their lane, they know they will fit.. Of course there are exceptions who just dont assess space but more often than not if someone is not sure he won't even try to squeeze on your right.. People are generally not that stupid..
