Hi Lauren!

I'm always patient, no matter who it is. Life's too short to get mad about minor things

J T at first I say “why the fuck are you going 20 miles per hour” and then I remember I was a learner once lol

. Although I have now passed my test, I want to say a big thankyou to you for supporting learner drivers to drive safely on the road s... We always recognise bad driving, however it's important to recognise good driving... Thankyou JT 🤗 x

@@5uper5kill3rz I was a slightly lead footed learner so will always struggle with that one. :)

I mean I'd rather give a learner the benefit of the doubt as a new driver then seen fully licensed drivers make the same errors... Its shocking how many people still have a license after channels like this.

When I passed my test - back in the days when you needed a brain to drive (1979) - my instructor told me never to forget that I was a learner once and to allow those learning after me the time and space they need.

I’m here because the title confused me

Battyden as opposed to avoid hazard then use horn!? Horn there to alert other road users to your presence, then if that fails, you have to do something about it.

I find that most cammers beep the horn after the near miss. Pointless.

@@stuaskew1 LOL, if it is such a hazard, then you should avoid first. The time they take to use their horn could be the difference between a collision or not. All horns do is distract other drivers.

@@nuntius1933 I was litteraly shocked at times. But now I see what drivers are taught even in driving schools, I understand better their attitude towards pedestrians. I remember my first stay in the UK, I almost got runover by a van turning in whilst I stepped on the road. He beeped but I, as a foreigner, used to other rules, was so unaware that I could be the one concerned by the beep that I carried on. Plus in the corner of my mind, I knew cars turning in should give me priority because I DID read the highway code before landing in the UK. It's a miracle he didn't knock me down. I am conscious this is a different case because he clearly didn't follow the rules. Yet by telling learner drivers that "pedestrians should look", I understand why they interpret they literally always have the right of way ("right of way", that thing you should always give not take)…

@@paull7725 I'm pretty sure that when I first read the UK highway code (probably edition 7 or 8) it simply said "pedestrians have right of way at junctions" - I've always thought it ludicrous that pedestrians should concern themselves with vehicles approaching from 2, 3 or 4 directions, when they are simply continuing going straight forwards.

@@jhferu it all depends on the ifs and buts added to the rule when people learn. I understand now it’s been modified it is clearer… yet just look at how pedestrians are so scared at junctions nowadays now they are clearly more protected! Just goes to show how terrified they used to be…

Sounds good to me. Doctors have to do a test every few years I thought, as well as truck drivers. Why not every driver? It's not for free to organise such a thing though, is it worth the hassle? Shouldn't there first be more investments in proper alternatives (bikes or public transport) before people get forced out of their car? Plenty of time to think about that one, nothing ever moved quickly in politics, for the last three years there has been a new low though.

Taking the test every 5 years won't change anything. People will drive properly during those tests, then as soon as the test is over they'll switch straight back into arsehole mode.

TheMadRatter ha ha!

I know you said the junction was completely clear, but this is still an irresponsible thing to do. What if, somehow, he had hit and killed someone? Could you live with that, knowing that it’s essentially your fault?

@@Ultima2876 I had complete view of the junction. There's no pedestrian crossing on those lights, and it's a "T" junction on the opposite side of the road (I was turning right from the lights). There was no chance of him hitting anyone because frankly, no-one was there. If he'd hit a post and damaged his car "Oh well". If there'd been someone around, I wouldn't have done it :) I think the more irresponsible thing to do is to use your phone whilst at the wheel and rely on other traffic to prompt you, rather than the traffic signals, but hey-ho.

@@Ultima2876 well said totally agree

Spordan Jieth What do you mean? If he was indicating then they would quite reasonably have expected him to turn left or right rather than straight over.

Spordan Jieth And that responsibility lies with all road users. Drivers and pedestrians alike. A safe, competent driver should have waited. Especially if he has misled the pedestrian with his indicator.If indeed he was indicating.

Spordan Jieth We agree on that, we just seem to disagree with you defending the drivers actions in creating the situation. Nor the way it was dealt with, drive towards pedestrian with pram who looks likely to step out (for whatever reason) and toot. Or wait a few seconds. What would you do in this situation? Although, I am not sure that the pedestrian deliberately walked in front of the car. The car driver gave him no reason to expect that he was going straight on if he was indeed indicating.

Spordan Jieth to be honest f I was In that situation, I’d have assumed I could go out. I’m not sure what they were signalling for but the indicator was definitely on. He could see that the other lane of traffic had no cars coming in his direction and began to walk out. I wouldn’t have even assumed the beep was for me because of the indicator. You’d expect the driver to be looking ahead to where they were indicating weather it be left or right so the horn would be sounded for something in that direction. Yes you should be extra careful and yes technically they could have waited for him to finish the manoeuvre but realistically I would say the confusion was caused by the driver and therefor it was an easy mistake to make. It looked like the pedestrian looked, he just wasn’t expecting the car to drive straight ahead and the first horn would’ve been confusing

Mr Badger mate what are you replying to

I hope Ashley will address this. Here in Australia pedestrians pretty much have right of way most of the time (and even when they don't you just assume they're going to do something stupid). Things like turning left or right onto a new road are big examples where drivers forget to not just check for cars, but pedestrians too. Thing is I don't know how different UK road laws are and if that section of road might have been a straight through. Either way I feel like you could have waited for the peds in that scenario (they might of been hard of hearing).

You shouldnt really wait on a junction like that, since you would be stopped on the oncoming lane and could hold up traffic etc.

xHarryR like I said: not 100% sure on the scenario here, but in Australia if you’re turning onto a new road (from right or left) then peds have ROW. Although please note that if traffic lights are involved then EVERYTHING changes.

Thanks for all the comments. In the UK, pedestrians don't get priory unless they set foot on the road. The beep is a preventive safety measure to stop them crossing before the car turns as they didn't look. The use of the horn is to let people know you are there. I know that's different in other parts of the world. Ashley

@@ashley_neal kzfaq.info/get/bejne/np6pqbR4vK6lin0.html Really?

Also the horn they could of thought you was letting them go

I didn't get what the first 'beep' was for, just as the white car passed?

And he did actually look before moving forward, I assume he assumed the learner was turning right, which was a fair judgement to make.

@@boulevard14 In the same way as a driver you shouldn't pull out of a junction until an indicating vehicle has commited (to avoid situations like 1:33 with the taxi), as a pedestrian you shouldn't start to cross until the car has commited, just in case they come your way instead of wherever they look like they might be going.

@@markwright3161 True, the pedestrian should have taken extra care, however the signal was a bit misleading.

I've noticed it's usually vans. They're in a rush to get to their next job. Not that it's an excuse of course.

I disagree personally, I don't respond well to be spoken to like a child in a condescending way like this instructor does. Paid me dividends ditching my old instructor for an actually chilled out dude. The guy who does these videos is a jobsworth in an unskilled job trying to micromanage the world

What were you doing here?

Good question. Only if they set foot on the road do they have priority in the UK. There is talk of changing this rule however. Thanks, Ashley.

@@ashley_neal In what way are they looking to change this rule? Are they going to give pedestrians more right of way like in Canada as kdmq mentioned, or reduce it like another rule in the US where Jaywalking is illegal, so where a pedestrian isn't at a designated crossing and steps onto the road they don't automatically obtain right of way, but at junctions it would remain the same?

As a Brit-Canadian who spends half his time in Canada (Vancouver) and half in the UK, I can totally concur with kdmq's comments. It's one of my huge pet peeves whenever I am in the UK - the way pedestrians are treated like second or even third class citizens. I know this video was shot in the UK and the UK laws are different but if you acted that way in Canada (or indeed in the USA) as at 6:05 and a police officer saw you do that, I can totally guarantee you would get pulled over instantly, given a VERY harsh talking to, a CDN $167 fine and 3 demerit points for "failure to yield to pedestrian". It really is about time the law in the UK was changed and I for one hope that the proposed change comes soon, though if it does, I can imagine a very "interesting" transition period. I have to wonder - had it been a learner driver that had stalled on that very corner blocking your way, no doubt you would have been quite happy to wait patiently whilst the learner car sorts itself out and carry on it's way (in the exact same way that others did so in the very last clip). So why not let the pedestrians (who were just about to cross) carry on their way across the road in safety? It is as well to remember that all vehicle drivers are also pedestrians every once in a while too, so what goes around comes around as far as courtesy and consideration to pedestrians is concerned.

@@ibs5080 Sitting in the middle of a dual carriageway isn't safe for anyone whereas standing on the footpath behind 2 concrete bollards is safer for a pedestrian. As a basic rule when driving you don't hang around in dangerous situations for any longer than absolutely necessary, here that is moving off once a suitable gap appears in traffic. Another rule is that you don't hesitate in decision making. Ashley had committed to going after the white Clio while it was approaching, at which point the pram pusher wasn't committing to crossing. They did hesitate and didn't help the situation. When I'm a pedestrian I always give traffic the right of way (except when they have a red light and at zebra crossings after they've stopped safely). I also look around, so if a car in Ashley's position isn't moving, I will look up the road for things they might be waiting for, determine whether that (the Clio in this case) will take long enough to pass for me to cross the road using it as a 'shield' or whether they'll be a concern for me if they're going to turn into the road as well or be past before I could be clear the road. Personally I think giving pedestrians the right of way over turning vehicles is stupid as it impedes the flow of traffic on the main road when there isn't an independant turn lane as is often the case over here and little traffic can actually turn when there are a lot of pedestrians crossing. It also leaves drivers in hazardous situations for longer than should really be the case, it isn't safe for a car to be sitting in the junction where it's at a much higher risk of being hit than on any other part of the road.

@@markwright3161 That was actually a very well thought out and intelligent response Mark. I totally agree with you that as a basic driving rule, you don't hang around in a hazardous situation any longer than necessary and something I generally try to practice with my own driving. And as a pedestrian, I do exactly as you in terms of looking around to see if a turning car is going to be able to make the turn right away or if there is "blocking" traffic than I can consider as a "shield" to the turning car. I still think there should be more of a shift towards pedestrians in the UK and perhaps my viewpoint has been influenced somewhat due to my 25 years in Canada. One thing drivers in Canada are taught to practice is that when making a left turn (equivalent of making a right turn in the UK), if you see pedestrians crossing the street you are about to turn into, not to start turning until the entrance road is clear. That way, you are not straddling the oncoming lane, which even though may be clear at the time, may not be before the pedestrians finish crossing. Basically, don't begin making a turn that you can't complete in one clean sweep. Regardless, I totally see if from your point of view too and you make some excellent points but as a pedestrian whenever I am in the UK, I am often rather shocked at the treatment from drivers.

@intempify Ye I know I have one myself, it's just hilarious to see one speeding about recklessly I drive mine about and it almost puts me to sleep ;)

Brummie here! Took the words out of my mouth

@Spordan Jieth How can you stall a car in neutral ??????????

They go amber before they go red...

Did you forget about amber?

8:03 the light turns amber and the back of the bus has just passed the pedestrian crossing. Even if the bus is 10.5m in length thats a huge distance left before the lights changing. Pause the video again at 8:08 (5 seconds after the amber was first shown) as the back of the bus is passing the red light and have a look. My next "project" video is going to be on RLJ's, and with your view on this I'm going to use your comment and this clip in the analysis. Thanks for getting involved. Ashley

​@@ashley_nealNeal that's fine, there are 3 lamposts to the left he is by his shadow passing the middle one, at your 03 time stamp the stop line is no more than 3 car lengths from that post, at 04 his back end is passing that post. soo from the drivers point of view he prob has between 15 to 20 feet to slam on and stop throwing the passengers, in those 5 seconds of the amber to red we can say that after the amber was shown, the back of the bus passed 5 seconds later, in that time he has to check mirrors and passenger mirrors then apply brakes and stop. look on google maps but you probably know how short that distance... you just want the material to boost your channel.... also most of the stuff is red light jumps on your channel and I agree but think you're being ridiculous expecting him to stop in 4 seconds. use what you want to try to justify your claim I am not saying he never jumped the light but if you drove something that big with that much pressure he would have never stopped in time. also bus company constantly taking time away from drivers force the drivers to try to drive at the speed limit to make the next stop on time. I find it hard under any circumstance by his position he would have stopped safely 03 light goes amber driver sees checks mirrors (let's call it 180 ft) **actually its 102ft from post to the junction.** 04 checks passenger mirror bottom and upper deck and stairs (135.9ft) 06 signal has gone from head to foot and back (47.7ft) 07 bus is passing or close to stop line, the driver decides he can't stop safely for whatever reason. (3.6ft) 08 light goes red (-40.5ft) at 34.4 ft in length this would but the back of the bus at the red light simple maths At 30 mph = 44.1 ft/sec

Rather than you guessing I'll pop down and measure it out accurately. It will be interesting to see how close you estimates are. I'll give you a mention. Thanks.

@@ashley_neal if you think that's a guess crack on 102 ft from the crossing to the junction even give you the extra 78 so you could try swing the bullshit in your favor mr perfect

@@TheCamoRiderUKwell you’re a prick aren’t you 😂

I also think reversing in gives you more space to manoeuvre as your steering wheels are the last to enter the space so aren't restricted by cars either side until you're parked.

I've left a note once saying, "next time please leave me a tin opener to get into my car" when someone parked tight up to my drivers door for no reason. Trouble with reversing into spaces is if it's a supermarket is you can't get your trolley round the back to the boot to load up.
