Every day I see driving school cars with just the driver in and the standard of driving is far from perfect. These are the people teaching new drivers, how many times do you see cars with a green p plate on them and think how did they pass a test. I'm not talking about lack of experience but lack of road sense. All these taught by so called professionals.

The common theme with all of these videos is just how well your students handle these situations. You should be proud that you are putting cool, calm, safe drivers out on to the road.

4:22 Schoolbus as side, it's really nice to see you teaching your students on how to best allow other road users to make progress as well as themselves.

9:20 What the Mini did is an very common occurance on that bit of Crosby Road South. It irritates me and I don't even drive.

Yay I won. My working out was if you're buying a convertible vauxhall your life has already gone catastrophically wrong so you don't have anything to lose. What's my prize? :p

Red light jumping has become a pandemic. That and mobile phone use. If you ask me, both are poorly policed.

Been watching your videos religiously throughout my driving lessons and passed first time on Wednesday with 3 minors! Couldn't have done it without the supplementary info consolidation from these videos, thanks so much! :)

the Mini at 9.40, to bring International Driving Styles onto the discussion. This is something that is done all the time in Saudi Arabia. 4 lane carriageways, most people will drive in the 3rd lane they call it "the second to fastest lane" or they refer to is as the "safest" lane. The speed limit might be 120kph but they will do 80 max in the 3rd lane.

That convertible was something else.

I take the same attitude to red lights as train drivers. A red light to me is a signal at danger and passing it is declared as a SPAD (signal passed at danger). Depending on how servere the incident, at worst, you could loose your licence on the trains. Should be the same for all drivers regardless of the qualification or vehicle.

In my opinion the clip at 5:40 is fine, because the by the time the lights went red the bus was already crossing the lights at a speed that he couldn't break in time, although it wasn't ideal, the right decision was made imo.

cant believe the car reversing back the dual carriageway. Madness honestly.

these videos are always worth a watch to touch up on what you may have forgotten since your driving test and what not to do

6:14 Is he for real? Perfect example of why I don’t bother letting anyone in.

I still watch your videos 2 years after passing my test

@1:58, ah you had me at the first half if i'm honest. Though #1 based on creeping forward while the lights were red.

Passed my test today was watching your videos last night haha thanks

Now that's a whole new level of special! WOW (all of the video)

LOL@the car turning around at 9:00; as soon as they'd turned, the road cleared! And any so-called professional driver caught going through a red light should have their licence revoked; not only does red mean stop, but so does amber (unless it is unsafe to do so).

Welcome to the wonderful world of driver training! A typical day for me too. 🤔

I love your soft relaxed tone while making your videos & instructing. Very soothing, which is by far the best way to teach driving. I could never do it professionally, without dual controls, but have taught three family members using the calm relaxed approach (even when inside I’m filling my underwear). Reminiscent of Bob Newhart’s driving instructor:- have you ever heard that?? 😂😂

I had a taxi driver try to fight me once because I came up to a closed lane in the right lane which was the one that closed further up but there was a motorway exit and a lot of existing traffic in the left lane but when I tried to join the traffic in the left lane about halfway to the cones this taxi driver wouldn't let me in and a bus driver already denied me so I angled me wheels and slowly moved when there was a gap but he came jolting forward, got out of his taxi and started trying my passenger door and screaming at me to tell him where I lived. Happened between Hamilton and motherwell in Scotland

6:20 The taxi driver might have stalled. I've done that once or twice; stalled at a junction and then crunched the gears trying to get into first. It's frustrating and embarrassing, and even worse when someone is letting you go!

The cabbie at 6:24 didn't just go because he didn't realise you were letting him go; he just thought you were driving too slowly. Unless you give them a signal, that's what most people will assume.

"I'm'a gettin' in the FAST lane!!! WOOHOO!!!"

7:40 what happened there? Was he in a right turn only lane? If not, then you should merge in turn not try and undertake

I never understand the ones who do stop at red lights, but keep rolling forward anyway. They're already stopped, they might as well wait!

This is weirdly entertaining

I was a PCV driving instructor. Had I seen one of my drivers perform the manoeuvre, performed by Mr ComfyBus he would certainly been back in for retraining at least and depending on his record, possibly told to get his coat. Total lack of awareness and anticipation. Dangerous.

7:27 The Mercedes probably would have done the same trick as the Vauxhall and was consequently ready for it, plus it probably noticed the gap in stationary traffic and roof rack.

I'm not sure if jumping red lights is another of those fads drivers seem to get every few years. Remember the one where the car coming in the other direction at night would put their lights on high beam a millisecond before they'd passed you, blinding you? Another I noticed a couple of years ago was cutting corners, even a blind corner on a country lane, the car coming in the opposite direction would have one wheel over the central line. The face of the woman in the yellow Mini who was doing this and caused me to brake hard is still in my mind, a look of distain that I was one the opposite side where she wanted to go. Those seem to have stopped being 'in vogue' now, and it's the red light jump that's the new 'thing' to do.

The last clip with the Stagecoach car, in some situations pool cars are allowed into bus areas.

I chose Number 3, cuz the car kinda looked fancy and kind of expensive... and I've seen MANY people driving like that with fancy and expensive cars... My second guess would've been the truck… mostly a gut feeling.

8:42 - the lady that came through in the Mercedes could have let the old couple complete their turn. But I am especially concerned whether she had much of a view of the traffic coming from the left. Plenty of accidents occur like that and sometimes cyclists and pedestrians get caught up in them. PS. Just realised YT has shown me an old video, hope she saw it and learned or is better now.

I choose vehicle #3. Where do I collect my prize Ashley Neal?

7.45 Don't know the junction but what did the lorry do wrong? I thought you were always in favour of the Merge in Turn.

The number of people running red lights would drop a lot if more of them were fitted with cameras.

The problem I have seen is not the cars jumping the red light, but the time for yellow lights are too short

Red lights have been recategorised as either "suggestions" or "hints" now according to which region you're in, didn't you get the memo?

Some bus company cars carry mechanics. They have to follow bus only routes to reach broken down buses and to enter their depots.

Ladies and gents... 8:24 may I present you... the Liverpoolception! What could go wrong, I mean, there was nobody behind as I did that maneuver, eh? Oh, wait... You gotta show some love to the guy in the Mercedes-Benz also. What a fine champ for thanking you, a stationary vehicle, whom had to pick a suitable place to stop in, considering that was an entry point. I still would have preferred to just wait as the vehicle, whom had to yield to any other vehicles, but most of all, on a serious note... since his vehicle had its nose coming into his choice of lane before his eyesight would, he could have had up to 70 tonnes hit him quite well.

Ashley, you'd surely have to admit that the general standard of driving in the UK is absolutely abysmal. How so many of these people get through a test baffles me. Perhaps they are good boys & girls on the day of the test, but soon fall into bad habits. Maybe it's time there was a re-test instigated every couple of years.

1:54 Well I got that one wrong 🤣

Red light jumping is now prolific everywhere in the UK. I cannot understand why the police are clearly aware of the issue yet seemingly uninterested in dealing with it. Time to reinstate red light cameras in their thousands, and make the fines/punishment brutal. People will soon get the message.....

The confusion was real. 'Then your left hand is there to gear change.' First thought: 'What the?' 2 seconds later... 'Oh yeah...' :D

10:03 That's obviously a 'Mini Bus' !

Been driving 4 years and only seen a light jumper once. How are there so many?

Hi Ashley. Like your videos and your driving is of a high standard. Just wondering why don't you tell your viewers that it's quite legal to pass slower moving vehicles on the left even in non congested traffic and on any multi lane single or duel carriageway/motorway.

10:15 what are the rules in the UK when traffic lights don't work? Should we give the right of way to a pedestrian who wants to step on the crossing, or the fact that there are no traffic lights cancels the crossing? As for the intersection, I understand nobody has priority. Correct?

I was on the A1 South of Doncaster recently and for the 2nd time in 8 months there was a big tail back, at the front of it again was a young female driver grimly hanging on to her steering wheel and rigidly staring ahead at the grand speed of 35 miles an hour, again I called the Police, hands free of course. Passing the driving test is only a measure of ability to pass the test, it doesn't make anyone a good driver, only working on your skills and abilities as a driver will do that, sadly most don't bother and it is getting worse as the police have as in so many areas given up on roads policing.

4:25 I'd rather drive on red (very short yellow) than have my teeth inside the seat in front of me

The green car that 'jumped the red' ? It may not have. I see many situations where drivers enter the junction to turn right ie they have crossed the solid white line, but they see their light turn red and freeze instead of clearing the junction. I think this would make a good video.

4:27 Oh my gosh, I'm going to be perpetually worried when I have children...

8:24 Shows that common sense does not come with age, and I bet she was blaming the Merc for blocking her reverse. I passed my test in 93, and there's been a few changes to the driving test and the laws on the road since, so when retirement comes there'll be more, I think when you retire or have been driving for a set amount of years you have to take a refresher test, maybe like an advanced course, many times I've seen pensioners driving dangerously (not saying young folk don't), but assuming they passed in their teens, that's almost 50yrs of changes they're ignoring because they don't know.

I had an ambulance driver yell at me for not going through a red light to make way for them before. It was 2 lanes of traffic, and I was alreay stationary at the red light at the head of the line. There was another car to my right, and pavement to my left. The ambulance was about 2' from the back of my car, so I was trapped. I saw the ambulance right behind me, but I knew that moving forward over the line might make me liable for a £50 fine. The ambulance driver blasted the horn with the sirens going, and the other medic got out, banged on my window, and told me that they were responding to a choking child, and it's a time critical matter. I told her politely but firmly "No, I'm not moving until the light is green, or an officer in uniform tells me to." The light changed about a minute later, and I got out of their way as quickly as possible, because obviously their work is literally life or death. I never found out what the outcome was, but I sincerely hope the child was okay. I don't hold a rudge against the ambulance driver, because I know they were only passsionate about their job, and wanted nothing more than to save the child from dying. I can understand the safety concerns. But I still think it's a ridiculous law. It placed me in a very nasty situation where I'm constantly asking myself "Did I just allow a child to die?" over and over. But then another voice says "But you were powerless - You would have been fined £50 for helping." This was years ago, but it still goes over and over in my mind, because I just don't know.

Are the passengers in Delta taxis not afraid of the reckless driving?

Why aren't there harsher punishments for jumping Red lights like you lose your licence or you pay a massive fine, ban from driving for years

I wonder how these people passed their driving tests in the first place.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ppeAm7OQ3Ny0m2w.html Hi Ashley, myself looking at your car was in the wrong a bit swell, the only thing I can see wrong was the bigger vehicle was in the out side line which isn't there on the over side of the road so where, where they meant to be on the road? also who's sounding a horn was yours or them? (I feel you could have shown more of the video showing in the lead up to how they ended up in the out side line. or something ?

Professionals tend to be under a lot of pressure. It's not an excuse, but it is fore-warning.

Number 3 group decision

03:23 someone cant read - Stopped in a keep clear!

are you an everton or liverpool fan ??

I wonder if the taxi drivers realise that accelerating to a red light wastes fuel? If they drove less belligerently they'd save so much money on fuel and still get there about the same time.

10:10 bus company vehicles including fleet maintenance and support vehicles can use bus lanes. He shouldn't have gone through the red light though.

I am under the belief cab drivers buy their licences

It always makes me laugh watching these videos and I think to myself “oh it’s harsh putting ‘X’ on blast for going through that light, and then the actual car the video is for races through seconds later on the red.

in your opinion and from your experience what would you say is the biggest cause of accidents, my personal opinion is people being too impatient.

3:30: I don't understand, he needed to communicate, so he did it parked out of traffic (as well as I can see). What am I missi9ng (I'm NOT an experienced UK driver, so assuming I'm ignorant is a good start).

The problem with bad drivers is that they apparently all think they're good...

4:10 Road user on phone but no comment.

The roads are full of arseholes,the only reason that there are not more accidents is because they meet the careful ones at a critical point.

Has Cumfybus driver resigned yet?

"Assault with a deadly weapon"

It amazes me watching the dash cam channels, how many times a vehicle will speed up and drive across a mini roundabout then horn another because they didn't give way to the right. Come on people slow down and show some courtesy. Your blood pressure will benefit

Ashley How much is your car insurance? Surely it must cost a fortune with all these terrible drivers

At 1:16 you had enough time to give the bus plenty of space. No need for us to be so selfish on the road

that school bus driver should be fired immediately. that is unacceptable

No one is a perfect driver. Every driver makes at least one mistake every day. And I mean every driver. I am class one long distance, 1800 miles a week 44 ton and I still make mistakes. We are only human.

You have a dash. Do you pass on your recordings of these drivers that jump a red light? School bus? If he/she had any children in that vehicle they should be sacked. He/she had plenty of time top stop. The red Jag too. As you stated, 'What if that young girl started to cross. Next time, and there will be a next time, there could indeed be a young lady or child (anyone) that decides to cross. At that speed, the individual would most certainly suffer serious injury, even death.

1:12 "cumfybus" ...really? How many milliseconds of thought was put into that?

1,000th like!

1:45 never race a lorry on the roads, and if you absolutely must race a lorry on the roads, at the very least don't lose or it's just embarrassing!

Do you ever report any of this to the police? I uploaded some of my dash cam footage to the portal and nothing has ever been done about it. This includes LOADS of peoples on their phones and people jumping reds!

If the Liverpool police can fine people on basis of your video's, taxidrivers in Liverpool will go bankrupt.

You generally need a D1 licence to drive a minibus, but the standard of driving i see from them is poor

as i always say, if you can pull it off without hurting or damaging anyone or anything and causing no obstruction, then go for it

Hahaaaaa

Honestly im thinking, all of these drivers that are passing you at the last moment only to run a red light are purely focussed on whens the fastest oppertunity to pass this fucking slow ass learner car

8:32 The gap left isn't enough for emerging traffic to be able to see approaching traffic & vice versa when turning right though. The car in front should have stopped before the junction. Cars behind can overtake from behind and turn left when you leave a gap.

The taxi might have just received a new address and wanted to U turn or stop on the main rd only a few yards down

You are red or blue Ashley?

In your milk float again I see

4:08 That's a "fat young girl"?? You should see them in America LOL!

Pathetic this is! What’s that old saying?🤔 yeh mind your own business
