Ooh extra long episode - need to pause and pour some wine :-)

As I have said many times before, we have enough rules and laws but no enforcement.

"Tit in a Tesla". 😂

I just passed my test this week and man I’ve been addicted to these videos since even before I took my test. I guess it’s just nice to understand what ridiculousness you may experience on the road.

The trouble with most of the cycle paths is that they are far worse than the roads and anyone commuting is travelling, generally, as fast as the traffic so weaving in and out of the obstructions is at least as dangerous as riding on the road. The positioning of the cycle lanes is also ridiculous!

9:39 A grown man in a girl's car! Not sure that is fair, but the rest is spot on. Great video editing, always glad to watch your new stuff.

Today I sat my CE test (passed with 2 minors) and had woman come flying round roundabout (was one with huge mound so impossible to see) I was 3/4 in the roundabout when she emerged and had the audacity to beep her horn. Thankfully examiner agreed she had no right and wasn’t my fault so not an automatic fail

I love you posts. Not just because I do quite a bit of driving, but I too am a Sutton resident. Half the time I'm checking that I'm not one of your featured drivers. Hopefully my IAM driving test taught me enough to ensure that I'm not. Keep up the fantastic worm

this has made me chuckle, loving the quips. One point, although Khan is in office, these cycle/pedestrian anti-car lanes are all part of a major agenda that was first put together under Ken Livingston and is supported by the Govt of the UK. Peace and best wishes, enjoy your weekend

Nice to see you slumming it north of the river. Sterling Corner AND Swiss Cottage, both part of my old stamping grounds. Not that I would enjoy driving around there these days (too many tossers about). So glad I emigrated to Darkest Romney Marsh decades ago.

Thank you for providing Friday evening’s entertainment!!! Some truly outrageous driving including the cyclists!!! I love your terminology for “THE TIT IN THE TESLA!!!” As for “THE NINJA AUDIS!!! …… I can’t stop crying with laughter 😂😂😂 WONDERFUL 👍👍👍

This reminds me about how much i hate drivng on the a3... Merge in turns cannot be hard to understand. But apparently it is for brainless idiots

Love the Granny Ghia Coupe. Had an ex police 3 litre V6. It was a real mover. There is a deterant for red light jumping cyclists. It usually comes in the shape of a 20 tonne tipper truck.

I can't disagree with any of your video today. You were totally right about all of it.

I love your graphics! Good rant ;-)

That's a lovely old Ford Granada Mk1 Coupe at 13:40. I've always loved those original shape Granadas.

I live in the USA; while my area has had a few 'bike' lanes appear, there are not many. This is just as well because I have yet to see a 'bike' in one not to mention a 'bike' out of one. No one bicycles in this area. I have noticed that the 'bike' lanes screw up the traffic flow AND there is one right near the Ambulance entrance at the hospital! Stay safe.

No, you did right by not using your horn. If you had, it would have been in anger, which is contrary to the HWC. Not using it and calling him a bell end, or worse, was the correct action. re the lane hogging Fiat, I'm not convinced he was. I think he drives a tiny engine that gets from 0-60 in about a week and a half. He'd have got up to speed, eventually. I'm not gonna comment on Audis (I don't now, nor have I any desire to drive one). I'm waiting for "Always a Yaris" for those times when you can't go anywhere because there's a Yaris in front of you moving at walking pace. I love your remarks re older cars being bare. I drive a 2006 Saab convertible, bloody button everywhere. LOL. And it was "Ministry of silly walks". Come on, now.

Totally agree, some road designs are clearly not made by road users of with them in mind

Great video. Nice to see you in north London, I live very close to where you were driving along the Finchley Road ! 😂

Do you ever get comments from bad drivers etc that have appeared on your videos trying to justify their actions? Great clips once again by the way!

On the way home last night, doing 20 in a 20, I could tell the car behind had itchy feet, and sure enough as I gave way at the crossroads, he overtook, shot across the road on the wrong side without looking, sped forward 20 ft and... parked opposite my house. It was my neighbour. Why risk your life when you're stopping in ten seconds anyway?

I am lucky to have been driving and riding 40+ years. I'm still seeing that rate of "self indulgent selfish Humans rise to astounding numbers daily. The Scary thing is, It's only gonna get worse.

Information overload here but.... I definitely "get" where you are coming from and feel very much on the same lines; per-se. @13:40(?) appears to be one of the rare 2 door Ford Granada & it looks pretty 'mint' or restored. Ahh...... this upload is proof as to why an Amoeba is never granted a Driving Licence but it seems as though a 💩load have slipped through the net 😮😮😮. Great upload as always, mate 👊

7:23 people like that mini driver get under my skin and alot of times, drivers in Florida don't know how to zipper merge! NINJA AUDI !! 😁 😄 19:06 - 19:50 : all the editing that went into that explanation is fabulous and made me laugh. Well done!

Tesla’s are some of the worst driven cars on the road.

Disappointed,not as many Audi on this one 🧐

North West London, driving through Swiss Cottage down the Finchley Road, my old neck of the woods! I really enjoy your videos, thank you. I sometimes feel like an alien on the roads when I'm the only person indicating so it's good to know others are still making an effort. I do think we British can be a bit sheep-like and rather than standing against things like bad driving, we rather childishly join in, "Right, if you're not indicating, I'm not either!" seems to be the attitude.

I always take your Audi comments with a pinch of salt, but, today coming from Tilehurst into Fieldsend an Audi was coming out of Kingsdown Road, it stopped briefly over the give way markings and then carried on turning right, the driver did not look in my direction once, fortunately I was only doing 15mph but it was so close and I immediately thought of you. Carry on the good work 👍

to answer the question about needing to hear to ride or drive. the answer is no. hearing isn't needed to drive or ride. fully deaf people drive. they are taught to use more visual cues. like the flashing blue lights of emergency vehicles and is one of the reasons flashing your lights is the same purpose of use of the horn. not sure if that justifies the use of headphones or not. just pointing out that the inability to hear doesn't take away your ability to drive. or ride.

Thanks The London Dash Cam 🚕👍

Glad you told us when you're fast forwarding otherwise we might think blimey these cars are going fast

13:20 - I'd rather him be doing 55 mph on his phone than 70 mph on his phone. That being said it would be best him doing 70 mph not on his phone

Tooting sounds appropriate with all of those horns sounding!!

Have to disagree, a finger is worth 3 horns...

"A grown man in a girls car" Fantastic! I used to play a game with a work colleague along the same lines: Every time we saw a Fiat 500, whoever was driving our van would say "Fit, Fat or Gay!" And as we drove past, an assumption based on these categories would be made and a winner applauded. I understand this sort of behaviour isn't approved by the delicate flowers that seem to have far too much representation these days but I'm not here to make friends 🙃

17:20-21:05 The roads are badly designed deliberately to cause congestion (and pollution). It doesn't matter who is mayor. It is a long standing and deep rooted agenda at all levels of government. These idiots think by making driving as annoying as possible that everyone will just magically use a bike instead. Really good for all the delivery drivers and workers that need to drive. These fools are actually causing more congestion, pollution and dangerous conditions for accidents and emergency vehicles, etc as highlighted in the video with their stupid layouts, low traffic neighbourhoods, mazes of banned turns, etc, etc

Once some people are behind the wheel they turn into behinds ( polite word) do they not realise that now EVERYTHING is recorded your plates are out there FOR EVERYONE TO SEE ( Geddit?)

lol, how did you manage to catch so many very important people who happen to be so shockingly shit at driving?!? 😂

UK cycle paths are mostly ridiculous…. They are merely a white line demarcation from the road, and often stop abruptly, have vehicles parked in them and accumulate road debris.

"Do you wing it" Yep I most certainly do wing all my journeys with no pre-planning 😃 although to be fair I read signs and listen to waze because both give a lot of advanced warning about the road layout ahead so I really have no need to plan. That bus stop in the road on the other side of the cycle lane is a "floating bus stop" or something like that and there have been reports of accidents at them between peds and cyclists, not going to give an opinion who is at fault in these scenarios other than who ever the hell planned these should be fired for stupidity. That road can only have been designed that way to cause traffic or to cause issues for vehicles or both because there is clearly lack of any thought put into the rest of it given the stupid location of the bus stop. It would have been better with a bus/cycle lane combo because at least that would allow for emergency vehicles to use it too as much as bus lanes annoy me given Busses seem to spend more time out of them lol

Another great video. My only (and this is purely personal) problem with this one is the comment about headphones, with regards to hearing people. We do have deaf drivers, and some very good deaf drivers. However, looking at the way that cyclist is riding, I reckon his headphones must have "breathe in, breahe out" on repeat as if he is as bright as is cycling is good then he needs all the help he can get. Oh and Ninja Audi's, love it!!

I'm sure someone's answered this already. The signs covered over are perfectly fine as they're being use onto private ground and are not there from a legal/higway code point of view but as a request of a land owner. I assume for the ease of workers entering for an event at the racecourse. Keep up the good/sweary work

New subcriber here, recognise most of these roads as i am local, even recognise some of the car parks !! Just waiting to see me on one of the videos now !! watch out as i am a Kia driver

Tailgating is the worst of all I drive as a job so im on the road all day and all I see is drivers pushing the car infront in an emergency stop situation these people have no chance its become the majority nowadays I can say this LEAVE A BLOODY GAP YOU MONKEYS .

The cycle lanes in London were made for little children, not adults. They are very, very short and narrow, full of give ways very few yards between them. Then there are lots of zebra crossings, mergers into the roads, ramps, etc. That is why adult cyclers would never use them. Cycle lanes in Europe are far better. Another shame on Sadiq Khan's poor leadership.

I absolutely love your videos . So right about cycle lanes . We have them where i live in Havering , & yep you guessed it they are only used by mopeds .... Bloody Sadiq Khan needs out .

The getting behind cars turning right. I call it the must get in the outside lane syndrome

surely the bikes shouldn't have been in the box section without been able to exit

In the first Video, any idea why a Red Car was sitting next to a Tree and Bushes in a field? Have you seen any of those illusion speed bumps on Roads where you drive. There were a lot of Complaints about them yesterday. I absolutely love your Videos. Well Done!!

The disgusting color car needs to be that color so other drivers can see it and take appropriate evasive action. "Tit in the Tesla" just cracked me up!!! When there is a lane specifically for cyclists, they should be required to use it or get a ticket. Make a single, two-way cycle lane so people can pull over to allow emergency vehicles to pass.

I've had that "cyclist going through red light" crossing the road at Oxford Circus where I have a green man so I'm crossing, though others kind of hesitated and a cyclist went through the red light. Somehow it's my fault when I challenge them for doing it and had the same on Tottenham Court Road only the cyclist shouted out "I'm not going to stop!" I'm a cyclist too and I never cycle like that.

Separated cycle lanes are there for a reason. Yes, some of them may not see much use, but they do get used. People in my local city always say they never see anyone use the cycle lane the council put in a few years ago, but I use it and sometimes see other people using it. You try riding on a main road without a cycle lane with drug dealers in their Range Rover's belting about at 100mph. Like I said, the cycle lanes are there for a reason. Also, I noticed the cyclists at 17:18 coming to a stop at the red light. I wonder how many cyclists you see stopping at red lights that you choose not to include in your videos vs how many you see not stopping at them. I'm not having a go. I enjoy your videos, but I feel like you only focusing on the bad cyclists out there does more harm than good ultimately. Not to mention that a bad cyclist is a way smaller threat to everyone around than a bad driver.

Love your vids and observation analysis. Wish there were more patient drivers like you. I do wish you reported that fiesta driver who decided to overtake on that road. I recently reported a left turn only lane jumper who i found also to have no road tax or insurance since 2021! Police told me they took action on it

14:30 I really don't undertand why so many people are keen on having headphones banned for pedestrians and cyclists, when you can drive a two tonne car and literally have absolutely no ability to hear. I can drive and hear absolutely nothing inside the car, at least with earphones on when I'm cycling I can hear what's coming up behind me. Some headphones are bone conducting and are even better for allowing outside sounds in, and ear muffs block cold but not much sound.

It is common practice in NZ to cover signs that are not in use due to having been superseded by temporary signs, either by covering with plastic sheet or by adding adhesive tape over the signs, the temporary signs are the instructions that should be followed. In central Christchurch the council installed No Right Turn signs at a busy junction, unfortunately they did not remove the road markings indicating that right turns were permissible, and it that contradiction the signage was effectively unenforceable.

The best time to use a quick blip of the horn was as you would have moved out because it means "I'm here" The point where you said you gave them the finger, they already know you're there so use of the horn is unnecessary. You show some good driving by giving space to the BMW and Kia cos it's obvious what the BMW is going to do there and, by keeping clear, you're in a safer position and it is easier for you to avoid a collision. M3/M25 is classic "just follow the car in front" lack of attention to any road signs. Also potentially triggered by being squeezed out by the merge in turn too. A good example of how getting mad at other drivers affects your own driving! Personally I would have stayed in lane 1 for the white fiat to give some wiggle room in case it decided to move in. We already know it's not paying attention by the speed it is doing so what else isn't it paying attention to? Assume everything :). In a city, getting in front means waiting at the next set of lights for longer

I take it you don’t like orange cars?😭 my first ev is MG4 in Orange! Coming September.

I think that there are too many drivers who have paid for their cars with brain cells. When I was a learner most of the practice I did, I did with my mum. The one thing she drilled into me was anticipation anticipation anticipation! As you said modern cars have more bells and whistles than are necessary. As for the large touch screen infotainment systems, talk about a major distraction. I am also of the opinion that cars nowadays are actually too safe, giving a certain type of driver a complete false sense of security allowing them to byepass the common sense part of tiny minds. As for the M25 / A3 intersection I actually think it is worse than Spaghetti Junction and that is saying something.

Kinda got a disagree with that ambulance argument there fella, you can pull into a cycle lane to let them through. You say no one uses them, but there's about 3 in the video that do and 3 that don't. They look empty because they work and time and time again widening roads doesn't fix traffic. That dude on the pavement just undid all my points :D Education needs improving on our roads all round love your channel for highlighting it.

You see lots of people on motorways who get on the middle lane, or in the case of the elderly renault driver, the third lane, and stay there for their whole journey, normally driving well below the 70mph limit - these people think they are doing nothing wrong but are a pain up the backside to other drivers.

You want to sit in a taxi in Paris and come across the city! They are on another level. 😩

A lot of pedestrians behave like they're zombies off of Shaun Of The Dead.

Whoever put those cycle lanes near where a hospital is needs firing. There is no way an ambulance would get down there. I'm guessing that hospital has an A&E department.

Sad Dick Khan has ruined this city, and isn’t stopping anytime soon

The red range rover isnt overtaking. Seems yourself and the other car didnt indicate to pull into the right only turn lane. Which the ranger rover is in and used. Yes its a silly time to go aroune stationary traffic however they were the only one to need that lane in that moment.

I never get the overtakers who come past knowing you are in the process of overtaking. More entitlement perhaps? It's dangerous whatever.

A grown man in a girls car!! 😂😂😂😂😂👍

Oooooohhhhh. I like the Porsche @ 18:31

The Beemer behind you w/ 666 on its plate (3:12).

20:00 as a cyclist I would get rid of all cycle lanes they are stupid and pointless and if you’re turning right you’re forced to cut across multiple lanes in some cases and most pedestrians will walk on them as most are shared paths stupid it’s like making a shared road where pedestrians walk along side cars

Road signs have to be clear and visible and comply with regulations . The driver can continue if those signs arnt visible. But, if hes aware of the signs, even if they are obscured, and let say he enters a one way street knowing that, the dangerous driving or due care could be used. Looking at the entrance i suspect its private and signs may not be legally placed and not enforcable anyway.

Incident 1 If you have video evidence that signs such as No Entry are not visible a court is unlikely to convict. Incident 2 You should have used the horn as he was coming past to say 'I'm here' to use it later in this case as 'I'm annoyed' would be illegal. 02:40 Just not paying attention. 16:48 Far more dangerous than any cyclist going through red lights, never seen a cyclist kill a driver yet.

My ear pod thingys have a transparent mode so you can hear sound around me including my music or answer my phone … OR … just music … BUT I’m an electric 6 wheeled wheel user ….

A tit in a Tesla totally made my day. Thanks for the laugh. One of the reasons I love watching your videos! 🤣

Funny how we 'classify' some cars, like the adult man in a girls' car. When the Audi TT came out, I instantly classified it as a 'gay male hairdressers' car. No disrespect to gay men, or hairdressers, just popped into my head. It is a cute little thing, just made me laugh.

I am thankful that 26 years ago my wife and I moved out of London, the traffic and driving was bad enough then, today? The London traffic and driving is beyond insane! #

I came back from Heathrow today after my 2 months in the Philippines and I noticed my mate, who picked me up from terminal 4, was using Google maps and it told him which lane to be in in loads of time for him to move across for exits and so on. There were tons of "last minute Larry's" so either they don't listen to their map app or they always drive like a dick. I asked him if he had checked his route before leaving and he said he had, I always do that as well if I'm going somewhere new so I have a small idea of my general direction and the exits I need to take.

Audi drivers have joined the league of shadows

2:35 Got a problem with the colour orange do you, Mr Caine?

That fiat is still in lane 3 now 😂

I admit I use a sat nav if I don't know where I'm going (or its not a journey I do regularly), but I like to have a rough idea of my route beforehand as the sat nav doesn't always take the best route - as happened on one journey where I knew it was trying to take me the wrong way so I overrode it as I knew the roads I was meant to be in, or it tells you to be in the wrong lane but you can see its not right if you have an idea and then you don't cut people up to correct. But maybe thats just me as I drive a lot on my own so there's noone to direct.

There’s no law against deaf people driving

Sorry but I will need to take issue with your comment around 17:09 that the group of Cyclists waiting to turn right are doing nothing wrong! They are all sitting in a yellow cross hatching which they should not enter unless they can exit the area.

There aren't any consequences any more!! Hence terrible drivers!!

Don't you know ambulances are meant to be able to fly over traffic lol

I hate concrete roads

4:31 I'm surprised they have the undertake rules on a two lane road . I'm Australia there are` "keep left unless over taking" signs but they a mostly on 80kph/45mph and over roads but most two lane (one way) suburban roads are ''use the best lane for next turn off'' 13:45 So true ; modern buttons and switches are so bloody distracting. It's even waste in a strange vehicle . I hated getting into a strange truck at night Push bikes: I don't have too much of a problem with bikes running red lights and such as long it's done sensibly . And yes it is illegal for bikes here to run a red light ; but they are smaller and far more nimble so let'em go. I can see a time when only bikes and pro drivers will be able to enter city centers . Your roads seem pretty well clogged up now without thinking 10 years ahead

@ashleyneal time for an ‘Ashleys Analysis’ I reckon. 😉

20:22 But the cyclist is overtaking in a zigzag zone. That's illegal.

1:58 no. You shouldn’t have used your horn at that point. It’s not there for admonishing people who have done something wrong.

this is if i ever win the lottery i will buy a sherman tank and have some real fun, lol

Undertaking is not illegal and not against the highway code. When the car was hogging the outside lane you shouldn't complain about drivers undertaking as they didn't break the highway code as it looked safe and not careless

Sounds like fly tipping to me

[18:10] Having a go at the Mayor again? I know that road. The traffic is affected far more by the tail back from the turning at Colliers Wood that is ahead of you where the tall building is. This video is two months old at this point, but there have been roadworks at Colliers Wood for quite some time. There's been contraflows and diversions. Are you going to blame that on the Mayor as well? You probably are. You must think he's an Audi? [edit] p.s. And no sooner do you say no cyclists use the lane than two appear in a matter of seconds. One you mention at [20:17] and one you don't at [20:28].

Perhaps the Ambulance can use the bike lane?

You should only use the horn to warn other road users. NOT as an act of retribution or because you're cross.

Ninja Audi! 😂😂😂😂😂

This doesn't get talked about a lot, but some drivers think if they are quick enough to get in front on the right they can force their own priority over other drivers regardless of how they got there in the first place!

You've got to wonder where the Hell people's minds are.
