I know I'm gonna get grief for this, but if there was ever a case for cycles being licensed and held to account........

Having watched all this lunasy I have come to the conclusion that 27 years ago moving out of London was one of my better decisions. What a madhouse, you can have it!

Watching this I'm noticing the lack of police. Is there any law enforcement in London? As a cyclist in Staffordshire I'm appalled by how brazen these cyclists are. 😮

Thank you for the trip across Tower Bridge, most entertaining. I think, perhaps the answer to cyclists ignoring traffic lights is to fit the lights with paintball guns. Run the light, get a paintball in the back!

You can bet your bottom dollar that if any cyclist was knocked off their bike after going through a red light, that they'll be pointing the finger at the motorist!! 🙄

We have crossings with lights in Somerset - probably more usual in the sticks. Great channel, and especially the sound track on this one too.

Brilliant! Many cyclists have established their own sub-culture where it's completely acceptable to break the rules which were established to protect them!

I'm amazed that nobody on a bike was killed in this video and I don't know why the cyclists run red lights. I know they don't have to stop and start again but that's the only reason I can think of and, considering the speed of cars in London, they'll get where they're going just as soon without running red lights. On a positive note Tower Bridge is bloody impressive and I visited the Tower of London about 40 years ago and still remember it today, ravens and Beefeaters and a bit of tatty jewellery..😁😁😁😁

Even going for a walk in central london is risky to your health- all because of the cyclist's jumping the lights. Maybe Khan should focus on them. Would make a fortune.

I always go into that Tesco in Borehamwood, i've always seen a number of people that park so awkwardly it's mad. The traffic lights at the entrance pretty much do all the work.

I love watching your videos, I normally try to follow the view to see if I know the location, this one was very obvious for me as it’s been one of my travelling routes a few. 👍

First time watching this episode. Liked the bluesy music at the end.

Maybe Sadiq Khan can use the £12.50 tax to put signs at every traffic light saying " cyclists MUST stop at red lights" . I was crossing under the green man and a cyclist just missed me as he went through the red light. Nothing will be done until pedestrians get injured or killed.

Thanks for the tour. I drove across there on a visit to the UK some years ago (before the charges were imposed).....

I watched this video twice and not once did I see a police, either in a car or on foot. Is it any surprise it's like a free for all out there where nobody cares. Where are all those thousands of Met police? I haven't driven through London for a couple of years now, and I'm glad of it. Keep up with the great videos.

Thanks for the wee ride over Tower Bridge.

I'm far too terrified to break the rules of the road when I'm out cycling. I can't help but imagine the day I go through a red, or into the wrong lane (especially oncoming like some of these nutters) is the day I get struck by another vehicle and either end up badly injured or dead. And I absolutely _hate_ having a long line of traffic stuck behind me, if I'm travelling down a road that doesn't have enough passing space (like a smaller road with rows of cars parked on one side / both sides). It just makes me feel self-concious and uncomfortable knowing the cars are being slowed down to a crawl because of me. So I usually try and find a safe spot to pull over, and wave the line past and then get going again once it's clear. Makes me more comfortable, feel safer _and_ has the added benefit of surprising the motorists in a positive manner and make their commute just a teeny bit less stressful. I usually get quite a few waves of thanks or thumbs up for it, which is always nice :)

Thank you for the sight seeing.... I love old architecture... Old buildings, old homes.... I'm not a fan of anything built after the 1950s...prefer much older stuff... Which is why I've always wanted to live where there are castles, keeps, Manor homes, etc..... The house I live in is at least 80 years old if not older... I think historical buildings and homes should be maintained.... Charleston, South Carolina has an awesome area down town and on the water front surrounding battery park where the homes etc are 300 plus years old, and is kept just like it was back then, gas lamps, no pavement, it's just stunning.... London, while it has beautiful architecture, has too much stuff, building wise.... Way too much real estate. I wish it had be preserved better.....

I gather this journey might have been just a tad outside your comfort zone! Well done for not hitting that cyclist as you turned left.

One thing I want to say, thank you for always stopping BEFORE the cycle box. Where I live everyone is bloody stupid, stops inside of them, edges forward into them when the lights are red. Why are you moving, do you think going forward will make the lights change? I can't understand it

Really good content keep it up

Love your channel .👍👍

The last time I made that trip was six years ago in a bus. This was way more fun! Have a good weekend!

Is anyone keeping count of how many deaths and injuries caused by bikes? Almost none compared to cars. How many cyclists obeying the laws are run over anyway? ME. Rammed from behind in cycle lane. Broken ribs and wrist and the driver of the van stopped long enough to squirt me with salad creme, then drive off through a red light. Eight witnesses. Broad daylight. Two days in hospital. Of course, no one will be brave enough to answer.

My car has 14 areas of minor damage from supermarket car parks. Since I started parking like the first picture in your video I haven't had anymore damage to my car.

Thanks, that was a really good video. Take care.

I’m sure that guy in a high viz jacket is a cyclist that stops cars jumping queues to turn using the wrong side of the road, he’s a KZfaqr

Shame on local authorities for allowing these cyclist to be exposed to this potentially fatal type of danger.

I thought that my Elecricity Bill was shocking ⚡️ but some of the shenanigans posted on here take it to another level 😮😮😮 Keep it coming Tony 👊👍

At 1:26 in the video, there's a zebra crossing with lights. In Portugal, the rules follow a hierarchy: Police hold the highest authority, followed by Semaphores (the lights), vertical signals, and lastly, road markings. While all are crucial, if there's ambiguity, hierarchical power should prevail. So, in this case, traffic lights should take precedence over the zebra crossing. However, if the lights are malfunctioning for some reason, then the zebra crossing rules should apply. I'm not certain about the UK procedures, but it's likely similar, I presume.

Thirty years ago there was a zebra crossing at the east end of Bridge Street in Stratford upon Avon that also had pedestrian controlled lights, just on the bend where the traffic swept north onto Bridge Foot. I always waited until the traffic lights stopped the traffic, too high a risk otherwise.

8:13 The law requires cyclists to stop at a red light but it does not require pedestrians to stop on a red man. So they are not as bad as each other. A red man sign is merely an indication to the pedestrian that red light for vehicular traffic may not be on and so vehicles can proceed if safe to do so, but pedestrians can still cross and have priority over the waiting traffic.

Thank you for showing us the Tower Bridge (Americans, take note "Tower" not London Bridge, it's a different bridge). Fergie (not that Fergie, U.K people) was singing about a different bridge, that one collapsed. Anyway, thank you, it is cool to see a national landmark in use by people and I despair at these cyclists ever getting in a car because they behave in exactly the same manner.

Cyclists would rather risk getting run over than stop and then put in the effort to start again. 🙄

a drive into central london is like navigating a saloon in the wild wild west! And with so many cameras you would have thought TFL coffers would be full!

Ill have to start jumpng red lights on my motorbike as ive decided i now identify as a cyclist 😂

Cyclists going through a red light need to be given an on-the-spot fine of £200. If they appeal it, it rises to £1000 Respect the rules of the road

Willand in Devon has 2 pedestrian operated traffic lights . I’ve live in this village for 22 years . They’re been there here before I move here . At 37 cycles I lost count …

Loved the Tower Bridge crossing my old girl used to love visiting London when she was alive used to take us about an hour to cross it she'd look at every brick lol great memories thankyou and cyclists yeah same old eh

Cyclist aren't consequenced for going through red that's why they do it so rampantly.

Pedestrians do not have to wait for a green man to cross at a pedestrian crossing so though not advisable they weren't technically doing anything wrong.

Wait a minute, are you telling me that the moped rider @ 6:44 riding on the opposite of the road, emerged from the bridge with railings to their left, meaning they couldn't return to the correct side of the road without actually climbing over it, thought that was a good idea? Oh ffs.

Law to themselves until they get hit/ runover then its always the motorists fault. Great video. See this all the time but what can you do?

and cyclist still expect drivers to give them plenty of space ,,ALL CYLISTS SHOULD have number plates and ins

I saw more buses on Tower Bridge than we get all day in our village!!

.... and they wonder why they are high on the injury/fatality lists. PS... how can I send you one of my clips?

Some 1 way streets for motorists have a bike lane going opposite direction and traffic lights sometimes have lights for cyclists so they can move off first

OMG I couldn't be doing with driving in London anymore! I haven't been there for years and you're experiences have just made me avoid the place at all costs! Mr Khan has done his bit too, making the place a mine field of traps and just generally unpleasant! Cambridge has always been a good place to spot kamikaze cyclists, probably better described as morons on a bike rather than the rare genuine law abiding cyclists.

Nothing like a Friday night, chilled bottled of wine watching London Dash Cam 🤣😎🤣😎

Are we going to use the word "lawless" to describe drivers, the majority of whom go over speed limits fairly regulary, which is a great deal more dangerous? Not saying cyclists should skip lights, but so many people hyper focus on cyclists when even proportionally they are nowhere as near as dangerous as drivers, even if they do pull some low level stuff. And I both drive and cycle.

2:07 - I regularly drive this way and often people cut across like this, even from lane 3! I don't get it. Even if one goes the wrong way there is another junction up ahead which goes in more or less the same direction

Oh LDC about the zebracrossing. In the Netherlands the rule is: If it is combined with trafficlights, it is the following. If the lights are active, the crossing does not count, however pedestians have to use it within 300 meters. If The lights are not functioning, the Zebra gets priority and also the 300 meter rule.

My school used an old Sherpa van covered in rust, the sliding door didn't always close and the handbrake didn't work

9:57 He's not doing alright. He didn't signal his turn.

Morning after a concert at Finsbury Park. Summer 2022. Sat outside the cafe to the entrance to the park, by the travelodge, 4 way lights with box junction, drank a tea and had breakfast and lost count within 5 minutes of the number of cyclist red light jumpers and beeped horns as they nearly got mown down, then they had the audacity to swear at motorists. Yes motorists are by no means perfect, but can you imagine if cars just disregarded reds. Chaos.

Was looking at the clip with the cyclists over the line (mum waited). I actually think they should be able to pull forward that much. Make the front area the cyclist's stop zone and what was their zone should be boxed. So many times I've seen them almost taken out as they wobble start to pedal. Better for them to be out there with the gap to get them started before they become an issue to other road users. That said it's not exclusively them, the little boy racers fresh from a 6 hour session Gran Turismo or GTA pose more of a threat to them but they cycle like they're invincible I think they forget we motorists are encased in metal etc (hard shell editions lol) whereas they are encased in lycra and skin (both super soft and tearable, I'm sure you'll agree). I know I'd rather approach them when they're stable and pedalling smoothly and not the wobbly 4 year old, but hey that's just my opinion. Another great vid LDC, 👍👍👍

You missed a big one. At 20:58 there's a guy on an electric scooter. He's riding in a perfectly legal manner. He's going in the right direction, he's not speeding or going obstructively slow and (as far as I know) he hasn't gone through a red light. However, privately owned electric scooters are not currently legal on the road. They can't legally go faster than 12.5mph even if they are legally hired from an approved hire company. Because they have a motor they are required to be licensed and insured, but the laws for that have not been finalised. As a result they cannot comply with insurance requirements and cannot legally register their scooters. To be clear they aren't breaking the law (as long as they stay below 12.5mph), they just haven't been made legal.

I lost count after the first minute 😂😂😂 great video sir

Nice Lambretta about 5 minutes in.

I'm all for cars obeying the highway code , but cyclists shouls be exempt (I'm not one myself) ... they can react quickly so why sit at a red light for no sencible reason ? they are endangering no one but themselves. Look at these two mupet pedestrians waiting cos the red man is showing! 7:58 the guy with the hard had shows them how to cross ... needless obeying of stop signs !

I cycle to get around and you see all these bozo's just doing as they please though honestly it's because when on a bike and everyone else is doing it, you feel a bit like an idiot for following the rules. The amount of times I'll wait at lights and have other cyclists just pass through or go onto the pavements is annoying because when you're on the bike your brain goes... I could just do that too. I don't because hey I like being alive and safe but I get why they do.

How does the smokey minibus pass ULEZ?

5:00 Lambretta doesn't seem to have a MOT, it's old but not old enough to be exempt.

Hiya London Dashcam! Quality video as usual

The cycle boxes at lights are a waste of space as so few stop in them and just go through far as they can when the light is red.

The standard of cycling is pretty poor. I think a voluntary proficiency test that gives you a rebate on VAT for cycling equipment would be a good start for encouraging better cycling.

I am a car driver and a cyclist. I am embarrassed by what I see. Please note we are not all the same. I obey ALL the road rules and I don't even push in at lights though I could. I have found that 99% of car drivers give me plenty of room when overtaking and I thank them. Van drivers are a bit different, but hey. Thank you for your videos.

The junction were you was about 4.00 red light is for straight on bus and other vehicles turn left are ok that’s why your lane was still on red but opposite you they had green

I've seen cyclists going on the pavement in Pontypridd not dismount when it's not a shared or split cycle lane, even nearly got hit by a rude idiot cyclist in Cardiff once again on the pavement illegally cycling on it

Many thanks for sharing with us. Very entertaining. Lost count of the number of cyclists jumping red lights!!! Some bad driving as well!!! All typical!!! Stay well 👍👍👍

York is just as bad, just not as big. You need the reactions of a cat and the visual acuity of a hawk, and still they come out of nowhere. They're a menace to themselves and everyone else on the roads. If the term MGIF was applicable to anyone, surely it is most applicable to cyclists!

I'd say that this primarily seems to be a city problem, I live in Devon and very rarely see cyclists running red lights.

Dont think they are official zebra crossings on supermarket car parks. Private land, so just walk ways and lights put in by the land owner.

The School mini bus, with the not so nice exhaust emissions has a valid MOT until April 2024. As of April 2023 has done 159,626 miles in 7 years(22,800pa).

Im a bus driver in Manchester and you see exactly the same issues with cyclists. Almost never- and I really do mean that- do they stop for a red light. They’ll happily risk it all by doing this, or squeezing up the inside of slow moving traffic, one way signs are optional and cycling on the footpath is ok. They are completely lawless because they are not held to account. Ive seen them run red lights in front of police vehicles; no consequences. Of course the cycle brigade will say that car drivers do things they shouldn’t be doing too, but the difference is that for vehicle drivers it’s a vast minority that are idiots- because they can be held to account. Cyclists as a vast majority- certainly in Manchester- do not follow any rules of the road.

The van smoke is fish and chip oil 😂

You've never seen a zebra crossing with traffic lights ??!! They are everywhere.

How many coppers did you spot? With all the rule breaking nobody got hurt which is amazing When the teacher leaves the classroom what happens The police need to police Nothing will change until they do

You don't say about the mopeds & scooters riding the white line between two lines of running trafic ,very dangerous

ALL vehicles using the roads, should have registration plates, Insurance and the driver or rider have passed a proficiency test. The vehicle should also have working lights, brakes and tyres with adequate tread. Make the Law Equal and punish these cyclists. I once had a cyclist run red light, hit side of my car (£2,000 damage) he got up, jumped back on bike went way he came - I was stuck in traffic as it was one way. Reported it to Police, nothing done.

If bikes were Audi’s…

Your thoughts on ULEZ expansion?

6:23 and the road positions of the two cars infront of you..?..

I find it completely frustrating to see cyclist delivery drivers riding down the wrong way on a one way street, then on top of that , some old geezer pedalling his bike towards me on the pavement ! NO ONE follows the rules any longer . Cyclists run red lights , cyclists on footpaths , cyclists run from a road onto the footpath to avoid red lights , cross over and re join the road .Clearly , THEY KNOW they are doing wrong .

In my opinion, I reckon all cyclists should have an ID plate on them by law ( yes I know... where would you mount it - and that is a valid question). That way, the plate will then be registered to a rider / cycle and more of these red light jumping cretins can be reported by law abiding people and this will then stop them. Again... this is just my opinion and whether you agree or not, going through a red light is just wrong.

Sadly the references to cycles is the rule not the exception

The most shocking thing about this video was your wacky navigation. You should of done Liverpool Rd not Holloway Rd. And if you want to see the real militant cyclists make a video around Hackney.

Traffic lights apply to ALL road users...INCLUDING cyclists....MUPPETS!!! Whateve happened to the Cycling Proficiency Test?

The South East and London in particular suffer the most congested roads and bad behaviour by cyclists. The worst about it is that whatever happens there eventually spreads to the rest of the UK.

Cyclists on main roads should have registration plates, and be insure. The riders should be dressed in high vis vests with helmets; the bikes should all have breaks and lights fitted.

Its not a zebra crossing... no Belisha beacons. No zig zags. Lights apply. Too many degree qualified children are given free reign in road planning.

Could the presenter of these videos tell everybody if he has EVER RODE A BIKE, IS STILL A RIDER OF BICYCLES, AND RIDDEN ONE PARTICULARLY IN LONDON RECENTLY???

17:36 as a cyclist this is why we need to get rid of cycle lanes, I prefer the road it’s actually safer as long one is observant follows the Highway Code and if giving way to other faster moving vehicles if helps the flow of traffic as if one does this the roads for cyclists are a none issue Roads are only dangerous if you make yourself a target 🎯

Cyclists are part of what I call The LLCC, that's the London League of Colourblind Cyclists. No payment or fees due. Path or road, all the same. You should go to the Lord Rockingham at E & C. Cycle Superlane --- Never Used

been a cyclist for about 40yrs, in my early teens i did the same run reds, then a very close call with a car changed that, from then on i stopped at every red light used hand signals when turning, use every cycle lane. it boils my p@@s when i see cyclists run reds and no lights at night,

Everyone knows the highway code is optional for cyclists.

You can't do anything about cyclists jumping red lights from a car - moaning about it isn't going to achieve anything. When I lived in London I used to take a more direct approach - hop on my own bike (making sure to regularly service the brakes!), overtake other cyclists and then slam on the stoppers for red lights! Great fun and good exercise!

A Really Enjoyable Video.

No police but I did see 2 of our company trucks. Councils put in cycle lanes and truck manufacturers put in warnings and sensors and they even had their own traffic lights but still they put them selves in danger and don’t think of anyone else around them. If I ever knock a cyclist off when it’s his fault I won’t feel bad about it. I also ride a cycle to work some days and stop at the lights and I’m never late because I set off a bit earlier.

A question here I was always told by the police who gave some lectures on driving that to be a pedestrian you must pick up your bike and carry it ,if you push it your still a cyclist true or false explain your answer in words of one syllable or less so bikers can understand stand
