I'm curious as to how many of these viewers sent in their clips thinking they did nothing wrong and for Ashley to side with them 100%. We've had this before and indeed, no doubt that's how the "Deluded Viewer" title was born. One of my earliest memories of this was from an alleged IAM member and observer.

Dude came running out like some superhero 😁

I've always remembered what my driving instructor said, over 30 years ago now. 'Look, and look again, never believe'. I'm sure that this advice has saved me and others over the years.

I'm the driver at 7:35. I submitted to Ashley to get his opinion and see if I was in the wrong because I wasn't sure if I did anything wrong in terms of lane keeping or if there is anything I could have done to avoid someone swerving into me. I would like to correct Ashley as I did not swear or engage with the driver when he swerved into me. I didn't even know he swore at me until I looked at my dash cam. I rolled down my window when I started seeing the guy's middle finger when he moved off from the traffic lights. That's when I swore and called him a D head. I appreciate Ashley replaying to my email and I have fully taken on the lesson on not engaging with someone who is being aggressive towards me. My drives are a lot more pleasant now. I highly recommend getting Ashley's opinion if you are unsure!

Thank you to the viewers who sent their clips in so we can all learn from them. That's brave 👏

Hats off to the people in the pub who came running to check on everyone in the crash!

4:55 - I am the driver of that vehicle. It is a 3.5tn vehicle transporter. Thank you for the analysis I shall 100% be taking it on board and definitely going slower into lay-bys in the future! Thank you for you once again, your channel helps me improve my driving skills every day!

With the second clip, I would also point out for anyone turning across other vehicles when it is nighttime it is difficult to judge the speed of the oncoming vehicle. An extra second to process is all it takes to avoid an accident 👍

9:12 that van is actually a prison transport. It may be empty, but extra care should be taken of the driver as it could of been loaded with people in the back of it

Who sent in a clip of them undetaking and doing close to 90 mile an hour and expected people to think they were in the right 😂

Hi Ash, I am the rider. Just a couple of bits of background. 1. I had to wait for the student to head for the planned exit. If I'd committed to the exit early and they had carried on... Well you get the idea. From local knowledge lane one becomes a very long slip road so I knew there was plenty of time and space. 2. I had overtaken the black car but it then decided to accelerate so I wasn't lane hogging, I was waiting for the chance to drop in behind it. Your guess was correct I was trying to defend the student who had been away from riding for 6 six years. However it was not a smart move, I was lucky that he decided to back off. We are only human and sometimes we get things wrong, the important thing is to learn from our mistakes.

I'm mixed about the BMW clip at 6:30. It's easy to point out after the fact that the lane to the left was clear but, from the point of realization that the BMW was coming over, there's not much time to make the observations that you're not about to crash into someone in the other lane or cause an issue with someone following too close behind (all too common) by braking unexpectedly. I've learned from my own driving in the past few years that no matter how well aware of my surroundings I am, sometimes people do appear out of nowhere.

emerging slowly has saved me at least 3 accidents over the last 12 months, especially on roads that look like there is a lot of visibility.

re lane discipline following incident at around 7:00. Don't know about anyone else but I've found that after a near miss there can be a sudden flood of adrenaline which can be very distracting and makes focussing on normal driving difficult for a few seconds. In these circumstances I've just maintained a 'steady as she goes' attitude until things have calmed down. Not saying that's what happened here, but may be a contributory factor to staying in the same lane for a while.

Thanks for helping to improve driver awareness and make our roads a tad safer. You have helped me with forward planning and looking further ahead.

Glad the first one didn't scratch the GT4 on the way out. Also feel a lot of people forget not everyone knows the road layout. Nothing worse than a unknown roundabout at rush hour or just a built up area in general

I've always said if you have time to beep your horn you have time to stop/slow down. That first one just carried on at the same speed.

I know I've said this before and I'll say it again. Wind down your windows too so you can hear any potential oncoming traffic and use any reflective surface as a seeing mirror is possible when emerging from junctions like the one in the very first clip. The more information you can get about your situation early on the better.

At around 7:59 with the Golf on the roundabout. Unfortunately this type of thing is very common on multi lane / spiral roundabouts. Namely one driver correctly following the lanes (in this case, the cammer) and another car under the misapprehension of thinking they are correct in going for the same lane...or just wanting to compete for it to get one car ahead. I'm always worried about this myself...and yes I know "Try to drive in a staggered formation". However, that's not always possible, especially when a vehicle in the next lane and behind you is determined to accelerate and "race" you for the same lane.

I think the truck which hit the door wasn't going as fast as it seems on camera; I suspect a distortion from the wide angle camera lens. It manages to stop very quickly after hitting the door which implies it was actually travelling slowly at that point.

5:29 the laugh on the radio is perfectly timed

The first biker video yes i have been put with advanced riders and they have lots to be desired in their riding. The lorry parked in the layby probably had turned off his unit so the mirror cameras would turn off this is the diwn fall of camera mirrors. 😊 my daughter and wife hate them most lorry forms now fit extra real ones 😊

Really like your point on the last clip of helping the flow on the motorway. Too many idiots in the outside lane up each other’s rears and/or boxing in anything on the inside.

4:00 Yeh, generally I've no time for gobby, reprimanding motorcyclists- but I think the camera-point here was OK, as s/he was just trying to protect the other rider in their charge from a VERY aggressive & unsafe motorist. And it worked. But you're right about the lane discipline- they shouldn't have been out in lane 3 in the first place.

Thanks for all your videos Ashley. I do try to asses mu driving while behind the wheel and your phrase that most sticks with me is ' Make this into a non event '. I am more relaxed doing this and therefore safer. I have my faults but it's many years since I have used my horn to tell someone off. Keep up educating us

When I used to drive I had terrible road rage. I was a very considerate driver, always giving way, thanking people, kept within speed limits, etc.. If someone annoyed me though I went completely crazy and the rage was awful. I got in so many very dangerous situations, even having to call police, have police called on me, have a car full of scary men take my keys and threaten me thinking I was a cop, axes at my window, etc.. So if anyone reads this, please take this advice - Just stay calm. Smile maybe without coming across sarcastic, then move on and let them shout and give you the finger. Just try not to keep looking and if needed, take a turning you didn't intend to take to get out of sight. YOU are the better person for it, it's a sign of strength, not weakness. What you'll find is that despite the intense anger you feel, it'll dissipate within seconds. I promise, it'll go away fast, and you'll also feel good about yourself for not reacting. They won't have "won" at all, but if they think they have, so what? Does it really matter? You'll be able to forget about it soon enough. If it escalates, if you aren't harmed physically, you might be mentally scared for years when going over and over what happened and how close it was to being life-changing. Believe me, I know. It's just not worth it.

Hi Ashley and everyone else

I call the crawl out process "The Grandad Manoeuvre" is it seems to be used often by elderly, and presumably thus very experienced, drivers.

I've learned the don't engage thing over the years. Don't use the horn to reprimand, don't use the high beams, don' t use your car to obstruct. Just back off and go about your day. It's much better than making a fool of yourself having a tantrum. If you complete your entire journey and nobody has any cause to notice you or remember you were there, then you've probably driven well.

Very glad you pointed out the lorry camera systems that seem to be getting more and more common - they’re very unsettling to drive past and clearly there are some clear downsides to not having fixed actual mirrors.

3:40 my guess is that they need to stay in the same lane as the rider they're observing in order to be able to, well, observe them? Makes sense to me. The volvo could have overtaken them in lane 4 as well, their undertake was completely unjustified.

At 1:36, us regulars most definitely recognise the junction at the top of your road.

I've started lessons and take what I see here and all of Ashley's videos into consideration practice the good points like have I been seen

Can I just say, I appreciate your balanced analysis to clips in every video you make. Even if one party is "more at fault" you always discuss what each driver could have done differently - really useful teaching to anyone watching! Even if insurance is 100% going to side with you, that doesnt mean it's good to have a wrecked car/injuries/stress of legal proceedings. Hence why avoiding accidents and noticing other people's stupidty is beneficial. For example the first clip. This is a pretty common type of clip to see online: person emerges (poorly or well, in this case a bit poorly) and gets tboned by someone quite clearly going WAY too fast. The most famous being the one where there's a Lambo going at a billion MPH in central London hitting someone who was creeping at a safe and sensible speed (the lambo clearly being at fault). But so often, the comments on these videos lack zero nuance - it's always just people shouting at each other that it's 100% one party's fault (maybe 20% of the time it is, but the other 80% it's a two way thing). I appreciate how you look at the clip objectively and actually provide useful advice for how each driver could avoid the situation. In this situation, as you say, it's always better to creep when view is obstructed. By creeping at snail's pace until you can see it's clear, if you do get hit by a maniac doing 50+ in a 30 zone (or other relatively ridiculous speeds for speed limits/road conditions), it'll be the front end of your car that gets obliterated (a sad write off of a car but ultimately should be an insurance payout and no injuries). I'd rather have that than being tboned in my driver side door and suffer potentially severe injuries.

My driving instructor always gave the first lesson free and it involved the student sipping a cup of complimentary coffee while sitting in front of a TV wired to a VHS machine (it was in the eighties) while a video played showing grieving relatives of road traffic accident victims lamenting the deaths of their loved ones while the drivers who caused the accidents spoke of how their lives were destroyed by their acts of stupidity. One common statement among the drivers was "I wish I could turn back the clock". Please, please, please, have a deep think about that sentence every time you get behind the wheel of a vehicle so that you never have to utter it in a crown court.

The last guy was driving over the speed limit. If you chose to drive over the speed limit the least you can do is drive defensively- slow and let people out if they are driving under the speed limit and come up behind someone driving slower particularly on A road duals which are main arteries for lorries. Also stop assuming the everyone driving around you is a local, sometimes driving into an unknown city centre you can get the wrong lane - especially if the road layout has been adapted for specific traffic flow - sometimes the traffic forms further back than the signage - if you are a local then you know.

Ash is ‘never again’ going to engage in a road rage situation? Not even give the death stare on the way past or throw your hands up in frustration?? Come on! We need you to continue being you, it’s what we all love!

The first clip, before and immediately after the intro. Not excusing the emerging cam car but this is one reason why if I'm the main road car and someone is waiting to emerge from my left, if safe I will drive out towards the centre line of my road. On some occassion, if nothing whatsoever coming the other way, I might even straddle the centre line, in case of exactly this sort of thing.

Just don't get involved in someone else's mindset. It's dangerous and potentially life-threatening Fantastic video Ashley

Driving a 5 Series made me appreciate the creeping forward as the car has such a long bonnet, by the time I have a clear view of the junction, the car is already halfway into the lane.

On rides on the motorway you will often see bike riders grouping up and then spreading out to provide cover for each other. They then end up in staggered formation and it seems to mean car drivers notice and give more space, than if you are solo. By moving into that position behind the other rider it produced a buffer and made it so passing the bikes was not a case of just squeezing through.

That section of the A1 in the North East is a nightmare for people sitting in the right lane at 9:07. Doesn't mean the cammer was right to undertake at nearly 90mph like, but I understand his frustration.

Clip 1 Got to be really careful in those situations Our housing estate road exits onto a bigger road…where cars now park blocking the exit view…the reason for such parking is the new road calming along that road! The giveaway line moves to the outside of the parked cars. The parked cars are both sides. Inch and creep and look before going. The lorry pulling into that lay-by was going to fast.

At 5:53 Ashley mentions a lack of proper mirrors but i would like to point out that the camera mirrors screens turn off after some time when you have parked, but there is a button to press to turn the screens back on, this guy in the parked Mercedes was just being a muppet for not clicking it and checking before opening his door.

hey ashley. just wanna say i used to watch your videos a lot as a learner back in 2019, and i still catch up on your channel every now and then even though this is my 4th year of driving; glad to see you're continuing to do well!

Just a quick one for everyone in parking areas / laybys, until you have tried to get into the cab of a truck do you realise how dangerous it is for truck drivers. In a car / landrover you have a bonnet and a little more vision, from the windscreen cut back, on a truck, you have a wall of steel that means when you need to put your head round almost into the road it as you can't see a thing! Please be slow around trucks, especially in laybys. Lorry speed /vs Dash cameras. I'd suggest at that speed differential you could have a 1+mph on the lorry and a few mph drift on the satnav location and there you go.

I always think to myself "Can't See Can't Go"

@7:50 Gunnersbury slipping up and down off the M4. Golf slipping up to M4 East could/should have been in the right lane. Cam car chooses the correct lane and this is notorious spot for people cutting from the left lane to go that 4th exit towards Kew Bridge. If I was on duty and seen this then the golf’s getting a ticket for careless. - your local metpol

love your take on driving Ashley,if only everyone could be considerate for other road users and be polite and thoughtful to.we can but hope.

Excellent video as always. Thanks

Thanks Ashely, for validating all my Creeping 😂

Morning everybody

Now then, the bike clip on the motorway... "Observed ride" tells me it's likely RoSPA or IAM, and I would hazard a guess, the latter. Both are advanced styles, but they differ a bit from each other. I follow RoSPA's line of thought so, here's my 2p. It also happens to be on a section of road I know very well. Observer is in lane 3, because counter to your statement, the front rider HAS overtaken vehicles, and the Observer has a need to, well, observe. Front student puts an indicator on, Observer checks mirrors, but then fails a shoulder check, instead I presume, glancing in the right mirror, noticed the volvo that was in L4 has vanished and is then quickly hunting for it. In that time, he was already committed to the lane change so has to force an abort. If the Observer was paying full attention (tricky to do with two students, I presume), they SHOULD have seen the volvo when it was in lane 4, coming up behind way too quickly, and in that position, I would be wondering if he's about to undertake to come off at the same junction as the Observer & students. Rear student, knowing the route, top marks on leaving space! Re lane discipline, don't forget Mr Neal, you teach people to pass the driving test, and by & large, they are going to be slower/more nervous simply due to lack of exposure at the controls. That changes over time, of course. RoSPA teaches more emphasis on the "do not weave" part of The Highway Code, and when I queried it, I was told that it's exceptionally dependent on context... Sitting at 70mph, no-one close behind, lets say you can see a truck ahead and the road goes uphill for a few miles... sitting in lane 3 isn't an awful choice. If you're holding people up, you're not very advanced, and if you were to tuck into lane 1, ride up to my mythical truck and then back out into either 2 or 3... well, you're probably not planning far enough ahead. Lane discipline of the volvo however, is just disgusting. The gesticulation from the Observer isn't on, no matter what. I would be happy to bet you a large sum of money that my Observer would never be caught dead gesticulating. Equally, there's no way in hell he would force himself between me and a car, for any reason whatsoever.

3:02 I was thinking "protective observer" right the way through that clip

So here's a major caveat to the camera system being used instead of a door mirror. Very good example.

Had a few close calls like the first one. Usually caused a combination of badly parked vehicles blocking the view and drivers going at excessive speeds.

That bloke running out the pub had good reflexes!

According to the government website, the red car at 04:45 with reg M775 WJO is actually gold, not red, and untaxed.

Re the truck door getting taken off - Its in the highway code to open the door using the opposite hand to your seat position. Clearly the driver was opening with his right hand

@ashley neal the clip with the truck doing 63, i think thats a 7.5ton truck which aren't limited. Though truthfully should have gone into that layby at a much lower speed

First thing that i see from this is that the driver has just started their Journey. Its so important that you spend some time just before you start to exercise your eyes to do some full wide and tall eye and head movements and get the brain in focus.

With that clip around 7:00 mark, my first thought was that viewer was far too close to the red VW when pulling off. Yes, the VW was a little slow pulling away but there was no need to get up their jacksie like that! I agree also that it was poor from the first BMW and that Cammer should’ve exited in lane 1.

The clip around the 6:00 mark, is not a lorry as you stated, you can see from how low the dash cam is when passing the other Lorry’s, also the lack of cab tilt under the heavy braking after the collision.

The roundabout in the 2nd last clip can be a difficult one to get your head round. It took me a while and I've made mistakes on it where I've been in the wrong lane. But now I know what I'm doing on it if I see someone who wants to change lanes in front of me I always let them. Its just the decent thing to do.

It just goes to show that although lane hogging in itself isn't dangerous, it causes dangerous situations and others to do dangerous things, resulting in actually one of the most dangerous things you can do on the motorway.

Nice video Ashley

The speed governing of vehicles with ref to the HGV at 63mph from knowledge is done sometimes in several different ways few of them are accurate for different reasons one due to the adjustments made by the operator conducting the adjustment being too lazy to make an accurate adjustment, and sometimes software faults/incompatibility.

That was a very good point I haven't really considered before about the lorry camera systems, it does deny other road users a view of the lorry driver.

I would say with the lorry, the approach speed would be needed as there was a lot of fast moving traffic on the dual carriageway and a lorry doing -40mph could cause issues

Regarding the first crash...Concentrating on the left when exiting from a junction means you forget to double check the vehicles approaching from the right before emerging. They will hit you first. I t-boned a car emerging from a junction on a motorcycle exactly like this, in broad daylight, and sustained life changing injuries. I've also found that if some car drivers are made aware that they're on camera, they adjust their driving habits accordingly. Imagine if the parked lorry driver had jumped out of his cab. He clearly didn't look over his right shoulder before opening the door, cameras or mirrors. Try and make things better at all times.

The last clip is a daily encounter. The gap closer I like to call them, gets you boxed in then.

I love it when the cameras say 000MPH, reminds me of The Young Ones _Ftumch_ 😂

4.55 Good point I do recall when speed limiters where first fitted to HGVs and governed to 60mph, and I also remember them being adjusted and a sign put on the back of the vehicle saying 'This vehicle is limited to 56mph'. By all accounts it was to become compliant with the then E.U. laws, where we are now with this today I wouldn't know. What I do know is that an articulated vehicle of the early 90s running 38 ton at 70mph had a stopping distance of forever, and if that's the way things are going that's not good for road safety.

Last time I checked, BMW drivers can also fit in behind someone if they messed up their planning (if it exists) and don't need to overtake on every stupid occasion and force others to fix their errors. Sometimes they crash into something and I can't feel sorry for them either. How are they gonna learn otherwise if there are no consequences? Driving defensively is a good general rule, but there are times when it's just enabling bad behavior tbh.

I'm mixed on the camera systems. Pros - Offers zero blind spots. Moves with trailer when turning to offer max visibility. Pretty decent night vision. Cons- It's harder to judge distance on a screen than a mirror. Power consumption. Cost if camera/screen gets damaged/defective. I think they're a bit of a fad. It'll go back to two side mirrors but the fisheye camera at the front should absolutely stay and I think it should be a new legal requirement because it completely eliminates the blind spots at the front and sides more so than a mirror.

Just always assume people will pull out at a junction, mentally prepare for it and plan for the risk accordingly

the first clip is a common one. but too easy to fixate on only looking one direction for a space to go, especially if inexperienced, but yes you should always check right before pulling out of a junction, as the most chance of a collision is from the right. and less time for traffic from the right to react to a car pulling out from the left, unless done early enough. even when the other car is doing the speed limit, they can be too close to stop in time. like my accident with a brand new driver I was way too close to the junction to stop when he pulled out.

Regarding the 9:00 clip, I was once in a car that didn't have too much of a strong engine, but I was still overtaking slow moving lorries (we were driving up a hill), with a few people behind me who obviously wanted to go a bit faster. At one point, there was a decently sized gap between two lorries, for me to move to the right (the slow lane), to let 1 car go past. However, if I were to stick to the right lane for any longer, I'd have to break, and lose basically any chance of overtaking the single lorry that was in front of me. So, I turned on my blinker right when the first car overtook me, to indicate that I was going back to the left lane right away. I let one car go in front, but I need to move out in order to not lose my speed (again, braking would be a guarantee to stay behind the lorry for at least a couple of kilometers, because this car didn't have any acceleration going up hill). So, after the first car overtook me, with my blinker having done at least three blips already, I moved back to the left in the gap between the car who overtook me, and the car behind that. However, the next car obviously wanted to overtake me as well, so decided to try to push me off. Instead of letting go of their gas when they see me blink and actually move to the left, they decided to accelerate more and try to honk me off to the right again. At this point I was already in the left lane with three quarters of my car, so obviously there's no way he can still get his car next to me, but he still moved in real close to my car's rear. And all that for me to just move back to the right after I overtook that singular lorry that was still in front of me. So basically, he lost 10 seconds, whereas I would have lost minutes if I stuck to the right. It's people like him who make me think twice next time I can move in between two lorries to let one car pass. It's basically a guarantee you won't get back to the fast lane anymore. People like this viewer at 9:00 are exactly the reason so many people stick to the fast lanes. Being nice and letting a single car go past is just screwing yourself into sitting behind a lorry for minutes on end. PS: No, there was really no way I could have let 2 cars get past, and then just merge back into the fast lane after that guy. That would have cut it really close with the lorry in front of me, meaning I'd have to brake, meaning I had no business being in the fast lane due to my bad acceleration in that car.

I agree with other commenters with the 6:30 clip but even further it sounds like victim blaming. They wasn't wrong to be in that lane as it's going in their direction but only with hindsight it's said the left lane would be better because in five seconds a dickhead is going to try and force it's way in. Also the point of the BMW actually coming over and not just hugging/crossing it's lane marker, because it's a shit driver, is so close to the exit leaves three options. Move left and potentially cause the exact same issue, slow down hard and hope drivers behind are paying attention and don't rear end you, or you stay your course and as Ashley says "close the door".

an advantage to we yanks having more space around our freeways (motorways) is our safety rest areas are big and wide, typically, artics pull in and go to angled pull through parking, which forces a slower pace - 30 is too fast for a parking area. but I'm wondering as we don't have the cameras here - are those still on when the engine is switched off? to me, that would be a significant reason not to allow them to be the only rear view system. and I can say with photographic evidence, the "dutch reach" is no replacement for proper use of mirrors.

My car is able to creep using only the clutch pedal, which I think is so much easier and safer. I can cover the brake pedal and creep out when visibility is limited.

Another problem I found with those mirror cams is that you can’t make eye contact with motorcyclists anymore! I found myself driving around a lot of places with the windows down, so I can give them a thumbs up just to acknowledge that I have seen them. The driver of this lorry has either tampered with the speed limiter or hey were travelling downhill and ignoring you over speed warning. (I drive a Mercedes Actros with the mirror cams almost daily.) The driver of the lorry that was parked up. definitely did not do any observations at all. Slower speed coming into the Lay-by and observations by the driver already in the Lay-by would completely have a void of this accident altogether IMO

At around 4:08, putting aside the whole lane discipline aspect for a moment (which, yes, was less than ideal), if I experienced some form of dodgy driving, depending on the situation, I might indeed point to my dash cam but nothing more than that.

I think the van on the last video was a prisoner custody van, do not drive aggressive around these vans or try and intimidate one, same goes for other high security vans. The driver is at risk during the entire drive even when empty, and they will drive defensively and sometimes for their and their custodians will react in a aggressive manner. Its a good way to get yourself pulled over by the police as well, sometimes they have covert vehicles following, or will have initiated the panic telematics on board. Also to add some of these drivers have had limited defensive driving training and not as professional as other blue light drivers on the road. They hate waiting at lights, roundabouts and junctions, as these are vulnerable points including single track roads, see one let it pass and get on with its job.

At around 5:28 with the lorry pulling into the layby, yes I would have reduced speed further as I pulled through the layby. Partly for exactly what we saw happen with the open door and partly with exactly what Ashley mentioned re a pedestrian stepping out into the layby.

Ashley missed one thing worth noting in this video.... The tidy Celica in the opening frames :) tasty

6:08 not sure what the traffic island is like on the right side of the lorry. My typical play in this situation is to drive over to the right side (over the line) and give some room should this or a pedestrian coming out eventuate.

As usual,it takes two idiots to have an incident When they meet they hit each other! When I was a driving instructor I was very,very particular about observation at junctions.I am teaching a friend how to drive,he is eighteen and has had about twenty hours of lessons with me.If he emerges of a junction and looks left or right once,I read him the riot act! If you look once,it's not just good enough,you can miss things.A second look reveals what you may have missed during the first look. Now at every junction he observes the traffic with at least twice. If you can't see then creep forward slowly,and look left and right several times. Unfortunately,very few drivers have been trained properly about observation. People just don't look,they glance quickly without thought. If the car was a motorbike,that would be very serious.After driving twenty hours he is far safer than a lot of "Qualified' drivers!

There's a lot of emphasis on progress in IAM training. That's probably why the rider was out in Lane 3. Or, they could've been catching up to the rider in front after being delayed. Or, they chose a perfectly empty lane because it's safest. But my bet is they were doing the limit or close to it and wanted the empty lane to avoid complications.

Regarding the clip with the motorbikes and the red volvo, I think the criticism of the motorbikes being too far in a right lane isn't quite fair since their actions didn't cause the problem. Think about it: they could have been one more lane over to the left OR right and theoretically the exact same situation could've happened due to some impatient driver. I suppose you're right in that if they were all the way over to the left then this wouldn't happen. And yes, you are totally correct that the rider shouldn't have approached them afterwards and pointed at the camera etc.

It's numpty time, my favourite.

At around 8:07, I'm assuming the gesture by the Golf driver was in nostalgia to that old tv for Nescafe by Gareth Hunt....

Good to see people rushing to help in that first clip.

I love the last one why would anybody send in a recording that’s going to appear on KZfaq showing them doing 86mph. They quickly on the horn, rather than lifting the right foot. I wonder how many people know that a car travelling at 80mph is still doing 40mph when a car travelling at 70mph has stopped if they both Braked at the same time.

That 1st clip scary 😨 shows why creeping out of roads like that is so important, the guy on the pavement ran over which was nice to see, its always nice to see people coming to help when something like that happens

I suspect the truck is going down a slight incline probably loaded. When I had 38 tons sometimes the speed would go past the limiter but the 60 mph limit has not been changed as far as I know, it's just the limiter that dropped the speed to 56 (90 kmp) so people think that is the speed limit for trucks when it's not.

5:15 driver only doing 22 when passing the blind guy, cannot brake a lot while still on the motorway because of other trucks behind, also if he was loaded braking quickly isn't an option, seemed pretty normal tbh. On the blind persons behalf I will say those mirrorless Mercs (looks like a Merc) do turn off the internal screens after a short while after turning the engine off, but you can get them back on by tapping a button on the door, there's no excuse for opening the door without checking first though, a very expensive mistake definitely putting one truck out of action possibly both

The 2nd clip is a case of "I can't see anything coming, therfore nothing coming"

6:16 I also wonder if the rear view system even works with engine etc turned off when parked.

What a lot of people don't realise is, including van drivers, on a duel carriageway the top speed for van is 60 mph.
