Thanks Jack!

Thanks Jack for recommending this channel :D

What brings you here @JackSucksAtLife

Oh hi Jack. Love the Tesla vids mate

Bruh

I mean taking public transit is way safer than driving, but that depends on how fast the transit is in your city compared to driving, and how much extra time you have in your day to spend on it

​@@frafraplanner9277spot on. Ideally, transit would be faster, but in most UK towns (and small cities), our transit infrastructure isnt great and it's sometimes faster to drive.

WHAT does that even mean?

@@BadDriversOz the derby match played between Celtic and Rangers 🤣

@@billyoneill7381 I C!

I don’t think they even went to that effort. They just drew their own on a piece of paper with crayons.

@@eliz_scubavn I suspect they ate the crayons too.

@@bulwinkle given the standard of driving I’ve seen in my town, yep. Definite crayon munching.

I imagine this is several months' submissions by people, which Ashley has curated for quality. You could probably submit an uneventful clip of just driving down an empty road to most dashcam channels and they'd put it up; anything to pad out the videos.

haha, yes he was right there with the polite "what were you doing" glance. The trouble is so many people give officers stick when they do not deserve it and are just doing their job, shouting "my rights" etc. Must be a tough job to do, esp. full time..

Boldon lane South Shields 😁

@@andrewnorris5415 100%. I think the guy on the crossing was just having a bit of fun though 😆

That needs a bit of road markings to 'suggest' which carriageway the turning traffic is supposed to enter

Yeah it threw me off at first glance at it

Yeah it also threw me off to be honest. Can't imagine it being the first time it has happened there either.

The 'no entry' and 'keep left' bollards should be sufficient, but clearly not enough for some.

I recognised the road, it's just outside Lancaster

This junction is very close to the depot I work from. There is plenty of roundabouts in either direction he could have gone that are a few hundred yards away. This was not needed at any point. Just pure laziness

@@martynmoore6444 yeah he should have gone right and gone around the big roundabout

I know that junction and technically, that was actually a legal turn (yeah, it surprised my own damn self - the other directions can't do a u-turn but that side can for some reason). Only thing is in all the three directions he could go, there IS a roundabout within 10-20 secs. So, still...

@@kassimbabika I don't drive a truck or know if there are many special rules for them, but it seems pretty stupid if they were allowed to just do a u-turn everywhere where a car was allowed as well.

@@woutervanr I think its the same as most maneuvers, that aslong as there are no marking or signs to say it is prohibited, then you can do it aslong as it is safe to do so

In my experience, it's that they're not looking where they're going. If there's something in front of you, it doesn't matter what's going on to the right. But the instinct to look right is difficult to overcome.

The sat nav ought NOT be the prime choice of driving information. Your eyes are NUMBER ONE.

Even the police aren't a good role model

Must be the 📱

a 14 year old Ford Focus C-Max, taxed and MOT'd til September

Waste of time, no evidence. Anyone could have put any number plate there.

Thank you, at least one other who sees whose responsibiliy it is! Doesn't matter what side of the road they are walking on, what garments they are wearing etc, animals loose in the highway, fallen trees, even broken down vehicles don't have hi-vis/lights so reliance on these things is ignorance of proper safety thinking.

Pedestrian should be on right there

@@ynotnilknarf39 Completely agree. The other thing I'd say is when there is an oncoming car slow down as their lights hide anything behind them (and in this case in front of them as well); I'm about the only person that I know that routinely does this. I'm aware that when I get into a car I have the potential to do huge amount of harm to anyone on my route, the pedestrian would have to really work at it to injure anyone. The sooner as society we can move on to "with great power comes great responsibility" and away from "I have the might, so I have the right" (which is the view of the playground bully) the better.

@@mattc9005 Superb comments and a huge thumbs up to you for having the right attitude!

@@mattc9005 yup, overtly bright lights in modern motors are absolute safety nightmares, I wonder how I was able to drive at night in my Austin Allegro without crashing or running into stuff/people! All they do is allow drivers to go faster and yet as proven here, all this illumination and it's redu ed safety not increased it. DRLs are one of my bugbears, not just pointless but demonstrably less safe than without.

I was surprised that just that one side doesn't seem to a have a no u-turn sign. Odd. But yeah, it's just an ill advised piece of driving isn't it - trying to save a few seconds of his life by not finding a better way

Very minor inconvenience to other motorists. Big wide junction, good sighting and driver seems to make sure nearby drivers are aware of his intentions. Not a normal manoeuvre but I've felt like doing it myself in a strange city.

Thanks Ashley, for the security advice, to carry a length of wood for the measured response. Would a base-ball bat suffice?

In my experience grey Honda Jazz drivers tend to be elderly rather than new drivers :s sadly encountered more than 1 going the wrong way - fortunately none have ended badly yet.

Which is why the big roundabout signs have a break in them. I only had that pointed out to me recently and I've been driving for years. I guess I just know, not to take the short cut!

You are supposed to follow the road signs, there's the keep left arrow before entry in roundabout, and the turn left arrow on the roundabout. Even if you don't know how to go around or where is the entry and the exit, you can't go wrong if you just follow the signs.

To be fair I wouldn’t expect members of the public to put themselves in active danger. Yeah that person did a fantastic thing don’t get me wrong! But it could have ended terribly for them and their family.

@@hikaru9624 I know this comment is 3 years old but how is stopping a car and calling emergency services putting your life at risk?

@@dragonquestV calling the emergency services is fine so long as you have pulled over safely and that traffic can see you and pass safely. Stopping in the middle of a busy road however is dangerous if your not careful. To come to a sudden stop on a dual carriageway or motorway is just asking to be rear ended. Assess the situation and act accordingly.

I never understood that driving fast can be good, much safer to take it slow and look around....

I used to drive that road every day as I lived just round the corner - still didn't recognise it without reading the road signs first! Shocking driving here, I'd be far too embarrassed to ever show that footage to anyone.

@@iainh It was the last thing I expected to see on this channel, my family and I had a right good chuckle at it as that's exactly what some folk are like around here.

I was thinking the exact same to this.

I know that section of road, it’s not far from me. Although I wasn’t expecting the Hilux to do that! Shame he didn’t get stuck...

@@jonv8live lol imagine if he did get stuck, that would have been beautiful to watch 😁

@@justamanchimp Oh not at all... 🤣🤣✊💦

@@jonv8live Yeah its in Kingsteignton, I was so hoping he hit the wall

Actually if you watch the silver car carefully I am fairly sure they did make contact the car definitely seems to rock for a moment like it got bumped.

Could be that they don't want nosey twats listening to their private conversation

@@manu-tonyo9654 wtf do you mean nosey? They literally sent the clip you muppet

@@Wonderkid44 And cut the sound, which part is hard to understand?

@@manu-tonyo9654 what’s point then you muppet

@@Wonderkid44 Maybe watch the video and stop asking dumb questions, work it out for yourself, put your butthurt attitude into something you can understand, playdo is about your level

I think many people seem to think they are Lewis Hamilton and they can deal with any situation they face. That's why when I get a tailgater (which is surprisingly a lot since I actually stick to the speed limit), I slow down a decent 3-5mph so at least they can go round if they are impatient enough or if they eventually make a mistake and hit me, it's not as bad.

driving up the M40 today to Birmingham, loads of absolute bell ends driving right up my arse

He's technically not in the wrong there since his direction has no sign disallowing a u-turn. I can't help but think that if they were worried of those unknowns, they could've used one of the access roads along that road they were on (it's northbound Gelderd Road in Leeds btw) and make a turning inside or around there instead. There is certainly at least 2 maybe 3 that are open/clear enough to be able to see into and know it's possible to turn around in for a HGV. Including one just before that junction. Because that stretch that leads up to that junction from that side is a lot less "busy" with stuff like shops/businesses directly on the road or foot traffic or major junctions (apart from those accesses) - it really is just an arterial to get from a to b for about 3km there with mostly fields around it. And it's far less busy with traffic in general compared to that junction. So, it would seem an odd choice to use the junction instead. I'm no HGV driver though or that experienced on the road with anything bigger than a big SUV so, learning every day and could be missing the obvious.

No surprises there then! Thanks for sending in 👍🏼

and walk towards oncoming traffic.

Where do you get them free?

Hi-viz vests are not always effective on bicycles, being above dipped headlamps, often do not show. Lights are needed too.

@@kiradotee forgive me... I'm in Ireland we can get them from the road safety authority or the police station. I assumed it would be the same in the UK..no?

@@nigelcox1451 better then nothing though.. And in this example the chap is walking not on a bicycle

Yes

Cammer got problems.

Probably tired due to work. The average working man is tired due to lack of deep sleep and over caffeinated. Which results in aggression.

Looks like a UK road, a small, narrow country lane maybe, the one road sign I could sorta make out looked like UK spec. Assuming that's the case, the cammer came to a panicked, emergency stop on the wrong side of the road, the other car moved to the wrong side to go around the cammer, the ped' looks like he was on the righthand side, walking towards the oncoming traffic. That being said, he should have been wearing brighter clothing or some reflective gear on that dark, unlit road.

There's the keep left arrow before entry in roundabout, it means drive only to the left of the sign.

@@marxk4rl yes, that's where this incident differs from mine

I think Ash has a policy of not reporting stuff, especially if it wasn't recorded by himself. Constantly reporting illegal stuff could have negative blowback on his business from the crims of Liverpool

@@RichO1701e It's also a complete waste of time, unless the incident led to a major problem, i.e. someone hurt or worse. If the police acted on every video they received, they would have no time to do anything else.

There were at least two more options than doing a u-turn, though

Must be confusing in USA with no roundabouts 😂😃😂😂😃😂😃😂

@@marklittler784 im not sure what you mean the clip was taken in leeds opposite the porche garage

@@LW_-sm4ok Exactly in USA you would have a problem finding a roundabout.

In all 3 directions!

@@marklittler784 They're actually becoming increasingly common here. I would say I live around a pretty small "middle of nowhere" town and we have 3 or more of them as of a couple years ago.

It's poor driving from both. No idea why they slammed the breaks on

Same with #11, nice U turn.

It is legal but that filtering was dangerous. Also despite what the rules are, as a pedestrian I'll look both ways when crossing the road even if traffic is stationary.

Or arrested and charged with assault...

If it's signposted as no u the. Then it's illegal, obviously. But if not then it's fine as long as it's done safely. I've had to do similar maneuvres before in London, where roundabouts are becoming and extinct species and truck drivers are left with nowhere to turn.

@@DAFPvnk I respect this post and well said 👍

@@DAFPvnk Be careful if you ever go to NSW Australia. In that state, all U turns at traffic lights are illegal, unless signed otherwise. Many drivers from other states, get hit with this fine.

@@DAFPvnk All three other directions have that but not the one they came from. Having said that still rather silly to turn there when all three other roads out lead directly to a roundabout within a few hundred meters. The one to their right (Straight on from the cam car) is a big one too J1 of the M621 is the next junction 200 metres up the road so it is not a matter of them not having the room at the roundabouts.
