If she is so concerned about her career reputation then maybe she should think twice about her behaviour in public.

I LOVE when people try to argue with driving instructors…like c’mon it’s literally their job to know the ins and outs of driving

Before the woman started reversing, I figured there must have been a queue of traffic behind blocking her. Nah, turns out she was just stubborn with an incredible ego... it's strange what putting someone at the wheel of a car does to their psyche.

Respect to the instructor for guiding the learner and having his back, even in a situation like this I would feel safe with him

I love how Karen's numberplate has NPC in it.

She’s going on about privacy, after taking a photo of Ashley & the learner without their permission... classic

After all these years and the few times of seen this I’ve just realised how Jacob the mad lad didn’t close down the window when instructed. Top man providing us with quality entertainment.

Daaaaaaamn thick people do attract each other don't they 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Also the edited voice going "I'M GOING TO REPORT YOU!" is such an angry Minnie Mouse sound it just made my day. And you and your learner, just perfect 🥰 good work lads!

'Didn't like the comments'; 'demanding the video be taken down'; 'threatening to go to police'. Her sense of self entitlement is staggering - zero self awareness so clearly learned nothing from the experience. Her appalling behaviour, sadly, is all too common.

What a chad from the driving instructor for making sure that his student was not the fault of all this. I would’ve sheet my pants thinking I cause all of these traffic problems😂

Honestly massive respect to the learner driver here, I would have been ridden with anxiety if this situation came alight!

I can't believe she kicked up such a fuss when she had such a short way to go back! This video highlights how important it is to stay calm in these situations and not resort to abusing people. I hope to maintain my patience at all times on the road.

The amount of poor drivers who think “green means GO” when green means “GO if it is SAFE”

I drive a 44 tonne artic and I've had this same situation. I passed the light on green and about half way through the roadworks was a small side road that wasn't signal controlled. The lady in the car pulled out of that side road but she obviously hadn't looked to see which way the traffic was flowing. We both stopped and she demanded that I reverse the 400 yard back to the traffic lights to let her out. This is clearly not a safe thing to do and I refused. She ranted for a good minute and so I put my kettle on to make a coffee. She then proceeded to call the police and was promptly charged with careless driving. Karma😎

I commented exactly this on the original video... The driving instructor was very supportive towards the student and helped him keep calm during a tense situation. As a learner myself, busy incidents like that can be scary and I have witnessed one or two myself. But the instructor and student were fully in the right and handled it well. Good job to both of you.

It was a hard watch. I dare say I was more nervous watching it than those who were in it. Top marks for being in the right, putting the video up again, and giving the intelligent and insightful analysis. I think it is highly instructive, and despite being a driver with several decades experience, I have learnt from it. Sadly I have also learnt how ignorant some drivers are.

I'm on your side Ashley, there is no privacy in public. If they don't want people to see how daft they are then they shouldn't behave daft.

Credit to the instructor who is obviously furious and dealing with idiots but also aware that he is the example to his student so he keeps his temper under control.

I don't think enough was made of the fact that a car followed the learner through the light at the start. That proves how close he was to the learner. It was useful to see how the dash cam distorts the perception of speed. Thank you for some great teaching here.

First time of watching this, but all I can say is that I really wish that I had had someone like you to have been my driving instructor. Calm, and professional, even when you were being provoked. Great job!

The situation would have cleared up in less than a minute if that cow had reversed quickly.

Why do people get so fired up at the thought of having to reverse? if they learnt to drive properly they should be perfectly capable of backing up a bit to let someone through without getting all stressed about it.

I have to say I am incredibly impressed by the level of calm and collection shown by you Ashley, In my area, if the same incident had happened, it would or could have ended up in a brawl and police being called. You are an example to us all. 👍👍

First time I have seen this video... Have to say your student handled it brilliantly and was a great experience for him. People like the cars coming through on a green and not having the brains to hold back need to be taught how to drive and not just how to pass a test, which seems like a large number of people on the road have done . Great work @AshleyNeal . Keep it up matey.

Feel sorry for the learner here, he's probably paying by the hour to be delayed by all these bellends.

Ashley how about reporting the woman for using her mobile phone in a running Vehicle

You are a true gentleman! Need more instructors that truly care for their students like you!!!!

first time viewing this incident, so thank you for reposting. It's easy to be wise in hindsight, I thought I might have tried in this situation to have pulled over, reverse or done something different as you were so near the light you had passed, but you explained why this was not possible. Thinking back to my own experience learning to drive, how useful it must be to have the in car recordings that can be used to 'debrief' your pupil. This wasn't possible when I learned to drive last century! Perhaps because I have been driving for over 40 years I find these videos of yours, and other driving instructors, very interesting and like to think that I can still learn. The situation depicted in this videos is reminder of the need to be patient with all other road users, when we are driving, and serves to illustrate how important it is to remain calm. Well done to Jacob.

It’s actually so frustrating how people treat learners.

Everyone arguing in that video are fully grown adults. Let that sink in.

Well done to the pair or you for dealing with it calmly, and assertively.

Wow what a driving lesson to be on! Mental! Top marks for your professionalism and calmness.

"I have a high profile job" is an open invitation for ridicule.

She was a minor, in a senior job, driving a car :D

Nicely handled, I'm not surprised your pupil passed first time, he stayed very calm under pressure, a hell of a practice run.

Still watch this every now and again, a timeless classic

Hilarious that they’re all kicking off at the learner, when the one causing all the disruption was just her as she had blocked the road completely so she could have a strop. Road was clear behind her!

Great analysis. People drive on autopilot: "Green means go! Screw everyone else!" And when she DID decide to reverse... how quickly was the issue resolved?! Madness!

Great video, great explanations and analysis. Some people, it seems, have an ego thing regarding reversing. I see it myself all the time in similar situations.

I passed my part 2 last year learning from your videos which were spot on.

So that entire situation could've been fixed faster if NPC lady just reversed from the beginning, what a joke

Has a high profile job but is seen in public looking like that and driving a corsa? hmm...

I'm glad you reuploaded it You defended the young lad You have the proof on your dashcam 1 V 10ing all the aggressive motorists who were all in the wrong perfect example of a good and brave man, proud of you Ashley

You're spot on mate could not have handled this situation any better. Happy to hear the lad passed first time, obviously taught well.

No right nor expectation of privacy when you're in public. If you have a high profile job, maybe don't go causing a scene, on camera, in public.

don't these people understand that for every 10 seconds they stand there talking, another car is lining up and the situation keeps getting harder to resolve?

LOL At 8:26 you can clearly see that woman deliberately pushed up to get involved in the sittuation like it was the highlight of her day... Affecting her job? She should have been sacked!!

Well done for putting this back up , and the analysis was spot on , loved how you made her voice sound like a cartoon , glad you blurred her face tbh , judging by the rest of her it probably wasn't a pretty sight anyway LOL

You missed a trick here not adding a silly face over angry lady’s own face. But I guess you’re trying to make a serious point so I commend you for taking the professional approach 😉

It's her fault now that its all brought back up again. Many people forgot and moved on from the original video onto brighter horizons. Now its all back again.

Having been a driving instructor for Arriva bus company and a professional driver for 45 years ,you got this spot on my friend 👍

You both handled that situation very well, theres no need for the others drivers to act like that. TBH Ashley when you where analysing your video, I personally would have prepared to stop as soon as the temporary traffic lights turned to Amber in my opinion. The reason I Say this is my Driving Instructor 15 years ago told me it means prepare to stop. Although on the theory test it says "Amber: Stop. If you have already crossed the stop line when the amber light appears or are positioned close to the stop line where stopping may be dangerous, you should proceed" I do agree with you that some of those drivers jumped the red light and some of them could of came out of the side roads and driveways. The Geriatrics in the Ford that was arguing with you and Jacob need to grow up and have a bit of consideration for learner drivers. They need to remember they was learning once but had it easy because there was no theory in the old days. As for the Karen lol high profiled job? she only drives a Corsa.

like 20 people wasted like 15 minutes of their lives just because that one Karen wouldn't get out of the fucking way. And the road was clear behind her the whole time...

I still can't believe this actually happened, and the cheek of people to try and blame you instead, shocking.

Good luck to Jacob he’s lucky to have you as instructor. I’ve been in this situation myself, caught up where someone jumped the red light. Everyone blames everyone else and they all start arguing instead of trying to work out a way of getting out of it. At the end of the day, it’s about people’s pride and whose right of way it is!

1st time viewing this, and even without any of the justification you can tell the learner driver was fully in the right... kept calm and drove well... well done !

my favourite thing about the whole incident is the couple in the car behind him just sitting patiently :P

i'm 46, i've been driving since i was 22 that means 24 years of driving, in this situation, i would have stopped at the yellow light, but, he was a learner driver, the instructor did the right thing with the learner, i watched the light all the way as he went through and it was still on yellow, so no breach of the highway code was made. people such as myself forget they were once a learner driver and as experienced drivers it is our responsibility, to give time and space to the learner.

Thank you for putting this back up complete with the rear view as it does show that taking the option to stop before the stop here sign would likely have caused the following driver to have skidded after locking their brakes as they would have had to perform an emergency stop themselves. That would have only been a fraction of a second between them not piling into the back of your car and ending in a crash. As I know about drivers who do not regularly practice doing an emergency stop and I only know one person who does that, and that would be me, I can assure you that the following driver would most likely have not managed to stop before connecting with the rear of your car so your reaction time in assessing your learners ability to stop before the sign was correct and bang on as teaching your pupil to drive. I agree with you that the most likely scenario would be that at least two of the drivers had entered from side roads because they saw no other oncoming from their right and took a chance that the other end light had already gone to green but failed to take any notice of the time it took them to reverse into the available spaces there by compounding those drivers who had probably come through a green light in thinking they had right of way. The issue here is that the drivers who thought they had it right but did not take any consideration of how much time had already passed but I could not see whether there was sufficient view along this far too long set of roadworks and as we see from the video those that did not reverse out of the way only compounded the problem as they could be seen having to wave people who had started on a green light which was sequencing behind us. Your analysis was good and as your pupil passed his test he had obviously listened to his instructor. Can I ask that you add into your course a recommendation that you teach your pupils to find some empty roads where they can practice emergency stops at least on a weekly basis. This will teach them how to brake without locking the wheels, especially in wet conditions, and this will give more experience so there will be less back end shunts and our insurance premiums will begin to drop. Regards Richard

Hey man loving the videos, they really help 👍

High profile job, that’s a new word for on the dole is it

Those bloody road works were way too long for one set of lights, covered multiple ins and outs, just asking for trouble. (And no bastard working on them, either!)

The amount of energy she put into making a tit of herself was literally multiple times that it would've taken to just admit you were wrong and reverse the car...

Awesome upload Ashley👍🏾👍🏾 you done everything 100% spot on cant fault any of it… I think those who do pick faults may do for more personal reasons than actual honesty… Glad your student past his test👍🏾👍🏾 great job, great teacher….

I think the "NPC" on her number plate just about says it all

Privacy is out of the question. They're in the public, they have no intention of privacy. It's the law.

New to the channel and glad I found it. I see this kind of thing all to often and it isn't getting any better out there. There is no way that Jacob was at fault ànd, allowing the benefit of the doubt to the first 2 cars, this ignorant woman in the red top was the main problem here. She made the whole situation 10 times worse than it needed to be by tearing up the road with a clear intent to cause a problem. Hope she is really proud of herself, she will be in a majority of one!! Congratulations on passing your test first time Jacob, well done for staying calm and good for you Ashley. All your videos are very informative and great to see. I'm a HGV driver and have to deal with fools like this every day, as you do, it's just a part of the job I guess.

You handled the situation incredibly well, considering you had to take into account yourself, Jacob as a learner, aggressive drivers and rectifying the situation. The only thing I would've done differently (which may have not made any difference considering how dense the female in red seemed to be) is when she initially approached and was clearly being confrontational, is adopt a slightly less harsh tone, as maybe the initial command riled her. Great vid as always.

Congrats to Jacob! The real joke is how little effort it took for the ***(redacted driver)*** to reverse and resolve this in a matter of seconds. The whole "I was on green when I went" argument is farcical when all you achieve is causing an incident through poor planning. So glad you put this back up as it's a great lesson for learners and more experienced drivers alike.

This guy seems like the perfect driving instructor. Calm, clear and encouraging.

Not sure how I come across this video but I watched the whole of it. The thing that pisses me off is that alot of people give shit to a learner driver but yet we was all in that position once. I've been driving for 18 years now and have had, and always will have time for learners. Not so long ago someone was beeping there horn and shouting at a learner and I rolled down my window (as was on opposite sides of road) and gave her a mouthful the main thing saying don't effing do that she's learning, you was a learner once !!! Then she apologised.

i remember this video 😂 well done jacob 💪🏼 well done to the instructor calm and controlled.

Let's be honest, youtube didn't even check your video to see that she is in the middle of a public road.

I remember the original. No way was she a minor!

There's a saying "Never underestimate human stupidity" - good job for standing up against that woman. As a new driver, I find your channel to be very helpful as there's always something new for me to learn.

We need more people like you. Like you said calm and in control. Well done.

I’m so glad that I never had to confront any situations like this when I was learning to drive. Massive kudos to Jacob for seemingly remaining calm during this whole ordeal. Lots of learners wouldn’t have, I sure as hell wouldn’t have. To be honest, I don’t think I’d had handled it as well as he did, and I’ve held my full license for nearly 3 years now.

That point when she said “I’ll report you” in a helium balloon voice 😂👍🏻 you now sound as silly as you looked, bravo Ashley 😆

Genuinely an Excellent video. Fantastic instructing. Instead of sitting there arguing with everyone. You took command of the situation from the passanger seat of your own vehicle. While everyone else was too busy arguing you recognised that arguing wasnt going to solve the issue ans solved it yourself.

Glad it turned out OK in the end, and clever stuff about doing those speed measurement calculations in the analysis! Good that the video stayed up. Blurring seems to be a reasonable option to keep it up if you are truly posting for education not retribution.

she does not help herself by racing up after the Ford is revering in to the gap at 8:26 on the vid when she could have reversed back at that point and saved wasting 6-7 mins of everyone's time

Got to admit that when I was learning I stalled at a set of traffic lights when they went green on "accident" due to the driver behind me following way too closely and started to beep his horn in a road rage way and managed to pull away safely just before the lights went amber safe to say the male Karen had no choice to stay for a second dose of waiting lol, my learning instructor gave me a grin and said well done you composed yourself very well, and that gave me a smile and a massive confidence boost the rest of the day lol

"What happened first of all, do you know?" "No idea" Brilliant question to ask in that situation. Nice advocating for your students as well! I love how angry these people got at being delayed, but due to an inability/unwillingness to fix the actual problem, they did nothing to solve it, and got more delayed.

Love the analysis - if you ever give up being an driving instructor you have a career opening working in accident investigation!

I dont know why the students speed was brought up! You can clearly see he wasn't passing 30 mph even without the Google maps analysis. And the woman doing the complaining was a complete child

The fact her reg plate has NPC on it is amazing

Good analysis ‼️ Very helpful!

There's one thing you have mot mentioned in your video ( I agree with all you said ) is that the vehicle behind you must have gone through the light when on red or at the point of change and also the amber is a warning that they are going to change to red which means stop but he totally ignored the amber and red light.

Well done Jacob. You are going to meet people like that all the time while driving, just don't be like them.

The only thing high profile other than her reputation is her BMI

I noticed that she was the instigator of a breach of privacy (doesn't exist on public areas) by taking a video/photo from her phone in front of the driving school car, as for the muppet who said "pack of lies" I hope he now knows that he is a muppet, all dash cams footage look faster than the speed actually is, this is due to the lack of panoramic view as opposed to eyesight and the camera is fixed and rigid. There are other factors to take into account as to why it seems faster but not required here for explanation. Top shout Ashley.

Nice work Ashley was totally professional and kept your cool. The way you spoke was to the point and I think that is why it didn't get any worse.

I like it how Ashley is able to explain the situation to the other drivers in a calm and inoffensive way, yet he is very fair and has the guts to be blunt with anyone who deserves it. A lot of people get far too hot under the collar in the car and its refreshing for seeing someone just be calm and logical.

How can she be a miner she's driving.💯

BlackBeltBarrister brought me here. Love your content and will pass it on to my friend who definitely needs to see it.

First time here Ashley, not sure how I ended up seeing the video but the title certainly drew my attention. Well put together and explained. Can’t see any suitable reason for it to have been taken down in the first place. The lady driver and the guy arguing should be ashamed of their behaviours. Well done Jacob and yourself for maintaining control of the situation AND your tempers. Great video 👍🏼 NPC car drive….. Swallow and move on girl.

Shout out to Jacob. He did a great job! I hope he is doing well in driving and in life. 😘🤗

Having watched the original video, and now this one;- I would like to congratulate your (now former) pupil in remaining calm and chilled in a very tense situation. Given everything that is shown on this video, I think you did the right thing.

I used to get this all the time when I was driving lorries, and I'm sorry but, most of the time it was women and old people. They have all the attitude required to force themselves into those situations, but none of the ability to get themsleves out of it. So they go on the offensive to cover their shame by putting it on you. I gave up HGV getting on 13 years ago, because there were just too many dickheads on the road, even then. The same reason I quit riding motorcycles after 30 years, too (except there, one of them got me. Torpedoed on a roundabout by someone who thought if he went fast enough, he could phase through me at the molecular level). That's why I like your channel, you're actually trying to do something about that. All power to you Ashley. Keep up the good work.

My first time seeing the video, my first thought the traffic lights were maybe set at the wrong time interval to allow traffic to clear. But you handled it like a pro. Well done.
