"wot you duin bruv?!" Stopping for a red light?

I really feel sorry for rear end driver number 3. They did nothing wrong, had their car severely damaged, at that speed might have even been injured, and then had that nasty chav giving them grief. I do hope they're okay now.

"What are you doing Bruv?" Errrr,stopping at a red light,you absolute weapon

My favourite thing about the collision at 2:32 is the chav trying to act hard while sounding like he's about to burst into tears from wetting the bed 🤣

2:53 he really showed that wing mirror who was boss

Being rear-ended by someone that's not paying attention is definitely one of my biggest driving fears.

*What are you doing, stopping at a red light with **_me_** behind you?* Standard toddler behaviour, now appearing in an adult near you. And oh, yes, that last one should have been reported; I really hope it was. That could have gone so badly for the cyclist.

The rear-ended collision at 2:35 with the lad driving his dads car is a classic example of ‘you play silly games; you win silly prizes.’ His reaction sums it up really, hope your viewer made it out without too much personal injury and his car was repairable.

I've been driving 40 years and I love to watch your videos for what I regard as my continuous professional development. Thanks!

That BMW guy was a total Rocket, his dad needs to be more careful about who he lends his car to.

😂 i love how the salty muppet got out and blamed the cammer for stopping

At 2:08 and 2:30, the fact that the collisions happened AFTER the lights had changed to red would suggest that the rear-enders weren’t planning on stopping for the red lights. Shameful.

8:35 Let's just do a quick round up here: 1 - School "keep clear" zig-zags" 2 - Double yellows 3 - Crossing / "where the kerb has been lowered to help wheelchair users and powered mobility vehicles" 4 - Within 10m of a junction

I reckon the bmw driver was having a tantrum before he even hit the car.

“What you doin bruv, what you doin?” Stopping for a red light what are you doing? Absolute plum. Hope the viewer is ok

The number of times I've had the BRRRR of an ABS from the car behind me whilst pulling up at an amber light whilst cycling to work is scary. It happens about once a month, at least. Oh, and turning right at that junction, before all the "Bloody Cyclist" comments.

lol @ the guy who had a toddler tantrum after smashing into someone else's car

I loved the part were that lad kicked the wing mirror of the BMW when he realised he had totally ****ed up 🤣

I’ve heard of plumbers vans catching fire due to soldering equipment being placed in the van while still hot. Steel wool in particular is very combustible if it comes into contact with battery terminals or hot surfaces. I’m a plumber and it’s something I’m very careful about.

Thank you for featuring a few more of my cycling clips in your video! 😊

The blue BMW 118 is currently SORN and looking at the MOT history, in both years since it needed an MOT it has had either bald or near bald tyres which does give some indication of the way it is driven. And the white Mercedes, it would have been so tempting to just sit in the middle of the road and wait for someone to let them in, especially if bored and not in a hurry.

In 2002 When I was doing my Class C I set off from a roundabout and a lad came round at speed I had to do an emergency stop. The examiner slid off the seat and into the footwell (no belts in wagons then). He didn’t say a word. I passed and he said it was the right thing to do. Did my Class C+E (articulated) a few weeks later out of Kirkham. Sat in the waiting room with my trainer and when the examiners came out my trainer said, “ah you’ll be alright with him”. He took me on the then Weeton Barracks test route and round Blackpool streets. Nerve wracking, He was hanging out the window on every left turn checking the trailer wheels but I held it together. At one point my right foot was twitching so bad with nerves. I passed but my trainer told me after that he was the hardest examiner there and he didn’t want me to know beforehand.

In my anecdotal opinion, there has been a steep decline in driving standards over the past few years. Not a day goes by now when I don't see red-light jumpers, texting while driving, tailgating and refusing to indicate, all on the same commute, usually. I've reported a couple of the red light-jumpers and the police emailed me to confirm they'd sent the drivers on a diversionary course or given points, so they do act when it's blatant.

The irony of 5:48 taking place between 2 opticians.....

6:44 One should ALWAYS reverse into a space and drive out foward. It is much safer.

I am absolutely certain that the last cyclist was NOT Jeremy Vine - his reaction would have been much more dramatic

Own a BMW? Congratulations, you now own the road! 😂

The police car being in the "not quite correct" lane was following the markings on the roundabout, the viewers camera car luckily stopped himself from sideswiping a marked police car - which would have been 100% there own fault.

Last clip with the close pass on the cyclist, up in Scotland, it’s more hassle than it’s worth to get the driver reported as unlike in England, the police still need to book an appointment with u several weeks later to see u in person & get the matter resolved.

Nice to see one of my clips got used! Thanks Ash for putting a big smile on my face!

2:19 I think our cammer could've been going a little slower here given the large queue to the left cpuld give way to people changing lanes erratically into the cammer's path. However, the lad in BMW needed to be ready to stop and not keep his foot on the gas pedal 'till the very end, I don't think it was too difficult to predict what could have and inevitably happened in my opinion.

Thanks, Ashley. One hope's the driver at 02:20 also received a civil action. I was looking at the stats yesterday, and men 17-24 kill die at the wheel of their cars TWICE AS OFTEN as women of the same age per distance driven. It seems to be time for more carefully graduated licences, and to bring in COntinuing Driver Education for all of us. I think at 5:45 on the pull out the vehicle turning out *could* see properly - there's a full view for at least 2 seconds of their whole window. so they can see. There are two options: either the driver saw the person riding the cycle and pulled out anyway, or chose not to look. Good to see you calling out ASB at school zig-zags. In Cheshire this can now be reported online to the police, via Operation Parksafe. Remember that it's Police and Crime Commissioner Elections in May - remember to tell them what priorities you need.

Thank you for the advice given with the slow creeper tapping my car at the lights. I will definitely try a horn press next time and hopefully it doesn’t scare them into pressing the accelerator. One of many reasons I leave a larger gap than most to the car in front, no point unnecessarily involving a third vehicle in a rear end collision 👍 (Another clip heading your way next week of someone else trying to make my car shorter with complete distraction behind the wheel…looks like an automated system saved the day on that one)

Someone rear ended me while I was stopped at lights with my kids in the car, they conveniently reversed a few yards and sped off up a side street. My Peugeot Estate was written off. Areseholes who don't know how to drive piss me off. Since then I've had two Berlingos written off while parked by people passining out at the wheel, one was diabetic and the other a 24 year old who'd been driving a year. No apology, just loads of grief.

2:30 I can’t believe how badly wrong people can be about how much they are to blame for their own stupidity

That bmw driver should got a ban not points

Those 2 clips of stopping at a yellow light is why you don't stop so suddenly at a yellow light. Just keep driving through.

Hi Ashley. Wow Driving Fail 55, what a journey!

2:49 "WHAT ARE DOING BRUV?" Does he even know how traffic lights work?

In Portsmouth if you park/stop on a zigzag by a school expect an automated penalty ticket to drop through yer door. I stopped to post a letter during school holidays and got one didn't know they now fit cameras 😢

2:41 That was quite funny despite the unfortunate accident.

2:35 that was just sad. :( The driver behind is in denial, hope the driver in front is okay.

Imagine rear ending someone at a junction with clearly predictable lights, jumping out and screaming at the person you hit as if anyone has done something wrong except you. How embarrassing.....

I must buy a rear view dash cam some time!! My front viewing one saved my insurance recently. . .at least I hope so!!

The song at 4:43 is The Sound Of Truth by As I Lay Dying 🤘 A fitting song name for Ashley's commentary ;)

8.20 Usualy propane is the cause (leaking bottles from the usual place the regs or pipes)

8:25 Here in Spain during the "school run" people park in second row blocking empty parking spaces, now this is a total different level of sense of entitlement.

Yeah, completely unsurprised by the driver of the blue BMW blaming the cam car driver. Imagine their gall at following the rules! How dare they get in the way of his joy ride! Pillock that shouldn't be allowed to drive unsupervised. 6:16 - I see this ALL the time. Gridlocked junction and someone in front of me just charges on in and fills up the one space that would have allowed the gridlock to sort itself out. All the time. Too many drivers only react to what's immediately in front of their bumper, they don't look ahead and assess.

Video number one, doing that at an intersection is really dangerous, at least he just bumped into a car instead of driving over a pedestrian. And at 9:45 here is an example why waiting for a green traffic light is so dangerous for cyclists. This should be heavily prosecuted. It *should* be safe for cyclists to follow the rules and wait for a green light, but in practice it is suicidally dangerous.

Was heading out to buy a new car today and some learner just went straight through a red light cutting me off, was a proper instructor vehicle as well so don’t know what they were playing at. Wasn’t even like the light just changed, 3 cars turned right before I was about to turn.

Tbh the car at 2:30 was travelling too fast and they stopped very harshly. Doesn't excuse the driving from behind but I would have gone through the amber there if driving that fast

These submission ones are the best ones, please post more of these.

Man, the weather in that last clip... I long for the summer!

It's a beautiful thing to able to filter on a motorcycle. 8:57 in either this clip or one exactly like it, someone tried to tell me that priority is 50/50 in these situations🤣🤣🤣

Remember when I was taking driving lessons 30 odd years ago my instructor got me to park the car at Hessle Foreshore car park. I reversed in and the instructor asked me why and I said it's easier and safer when pulling out and it was what my dad did.

There's such a lack of accountability on our roads. Not just with young drivers, but experienced too. I've had recent issues where emergency service vehicles have scolded me for them being in the wrong lane, only for mem to explain that it is in fact them that's in the wrong. How can we have any road respect when the powers that be don't know half of the rules themselves. I Don't really think it's a driving issue though, more of a society problem that's been steadily getting worse over time. Must get ahead syndrome is rife now. If I could get away with not driving... Genuinely I would. That clip with the BMW going into the back of the car in front is a classic example of must get ahead syndrome mixed with the lack of defensive driving. Driving tests can't and will never be able to weed out those with forced habits but a bi-annually psychometric test would. A man can dream.

1:18 With the car behind creeping forward, a parp of the horn will often not be heard by them, or not reacted to, because it is at the front of your vehicle. Can annoy the guy in front of you though. I think I need another horn, just a little parp one, under the rear bumper. A job for the nicer weather.

Always reverse in if you can. It’s easier to park straight in the bay and much safer to exit.

Don't think daddy will let him borrow the car again

In the rear ending at red lights cases, if I find myself catching a marginal yellow and braking harder than I would like then I’m always looking in the mirrors to see what’s going behind. I haven’t had to go through a red to avoid an accident. But say you did and were caught by a red light camera, could it be rescinded if the alternative was a crash?

2:46 Bruv colour blind 🤣🤣

The cop car at 4:46 is a classic example of poor road markings. To be that left lane could have straight on and/or left turn arrows. Hence why Highways should be repainting the lane markings.

I've rear ended 2 cars before. Once when I was scanning a roundabout and worked out it would be clear by the time I got there but of course there was someone in front it was not clear for and my eyes were tunneled to the right. The second was doing the same thing at a junction onto a main road. Thankfully it wasn't more than 5 mph. I settled the junction privately with £200 when they had the bill for the bumper so my insurance wouldn't rise. The roundabout one didn't do any damage thankfully. I imagine the fastest ones are people looking at their phones when a high speed road is brought to a crawl.

That 3rd rear end collision - the driver who caused it was surprisingly self descriptive! At least thy got a good chunk of points on their license for that.

Regarding the horn use around 8:45, many cars have the horn on the centre of steering wheel; if you are using the horn and have to brake hard a quick pip turns into a long honk as you naturally brace yourself against the wheel. It's happened to my as I saw a car waiting to turn right and guessed he wouldn't see me through the oncoming traffic. I did a couple of pips and started scrubbing speed; sure enough he "gap-dashed" and I had to brake harder as he then hesitated on realising I was there. I'd managed to anticipate the issue and stopped in time but I must have sounded really aggressive to him.

8:54 whilst I wasn't the driver of that black car, I have done something similar in my own driving before, not proud of it... Honestly wouldn't be surprised if my own fail has ended up on somoene's compilation somewhere. Hopefully they learned from that how I learned from my error.

I think that mini driver was trying to get out of the space, but then gave up to let the dashcammer pass.

I love a Ford Focus! ❤ they are nice car! 😊 I love to go in Ashley's Focus as a passenger! Thanks Ashley for another video 😊

Phones and cars don't mix if you're driving, leave phone turned off in pocket or glove box when driving, forget about hands free, check when finished driving. 100% concentration needed for driving these days especially with kids speeding on electric bikes either side, dark clothes, no lights, training, insurance or helmets and guess who will get blamed for an accident !

The amount if times I've been stopped at a red light or at a junction, and i see people on their phones is astounding... I've even seen people curling their hair before... As for the 118i driver, he came barreling up behind trying to beat the light and it cost him big time.

Some of the worst parking in my area is blue badge holders, yes they can park on yellow lines, as long as its safe. Parking right on the entrance to a roundabout with single lane entries probably not.

8:08 An incorrectly stored power tool battery or a gas bottle torch with the head not removed would be my guess.

I nearly got sun burn on that last clip! 😎

Light turns yellow Speeders on the road: finally, time to test out the v8 in this baby.

Another interesting snd informative collection, thank you. Btw I think it's "entitlement" 😉

I passed that van fire going the other way a bit earlier on. The driver was out and trying to extinguish the fire, the really weird thing was that at the time only back doors where on fire. My presumption is they hand some flammable liquid in the back

I find the best response to the bad driving of others is a sad shake of the head, and for mine I give myself a severe talking to.

9:24 that was very generous of the cammer. I wouldn't have given them any room whatsoever.

8:09 it could be a hybrid that where the battery's are located near the left back slide door or if hybrid did floor get to warm to what load they carry or an battery from a work tool what was damaged. could be a whole number of things

If i had a dashcam id have sent in the footage of a DPD driver pulling out of a junction straight into the side of my car last week. I was pretty much parallel with the junction when he just came out. A good educational one to beware of these delivery drivers put under intense pressure by unrealistic drop scheduling

Clip no 3 shows once again why you have to have dash cams, front and rear, if possible. Glad the driver got some points because he has serious anger and attitude problems, especially as the accident was caused by him trying to beat the lights.

So at 2:33 (the rear-ender everyone's talking about) you can see the BMW would have gone through a very red light at that point. You can see the speed they're still doing. You can just tell their entire intent at that point was to go through the red light no matter what.

2:43 He should have been taking responsibility over his own actions. Instead of blaming others. He should have been saying (2:43) sorry it’s not fault I was driving way to fast for the road conditions. Red means stop and I should have stopped and I apologise over not stopping.

LOL at the twit in the BMW 118i 🤣🤣 Hope the driver in the car he hit was fine 🤞

5:40 I've never seen dashcam footage that clear, I wonder what brand

"What are you doing Bruv?" Can't you see I'm not paying attention.

The timing of the collision at 2:35 was as the lights change to red…🤔 I have had similar where I slowed to give way to a police car from a side road at the same time the lights changed. The car behind tried to beat the lights rather than see what was actually happening

Saw the mini on a dashcam collection, it's made even worse when people are watching 😂

Van fire - possibly a seized caliper/shoe or handbrake cable. Brake is applied constantly, but not enough to stop the van from moving. Friction causes it to heat up until something catches fire. See it quite often on HGVs, also with wheel bearings. It gets very hot to the point that it starts smoking, but the airflow of motion stops it from bursting into flames. The driver realised there is an issue, stops, and suddenly it's an inferno.

I think in the third clip, while the 1-Series driver was clearly at fault, the cammer should've approached the lights a bit more slowly. Purely on the grounds of controlling the traffic from behind. It looks as if it was coming off a motorway or other 70mph carridgeway, so speed control is crucial in that situation.

Hey Ash, you said Car Vertical covers any vehicle? Does that include vans as well?

My pet hate: being pulled on by somebody without any indication, only for them to turn up another side street a few yards up - again with no indication sometimes... Just exudes impatience and lack of awareness.

to the van catching fire, there are lots of things in the building trade that can catch fire in the back of a van, all you need is bad storage or something not tied down properly and it comes loose, spark from a battery, heat build up of some materials and so on and a fire begins. good thing the hard shoulder was there so the driver could get out and get to safety away from the fire.

Police being incompetent? Shocking information!

For that firstrear-ender, most people won't flash brake lights, because so few actually use the handbrake when stationary, and no excuse with new automatic handbrakes.

8:47 oh yes that BMW should of not been there or just flew over you 🤦🏻 I hate drivers like that the BMW driver was going a safe speed and on their side.

The biker at 0:08 reminds me of a clip I saw recently: Police stop of a bike, I think it was in the US. Police officer points out that the plate (or tag as they call it) is hanging on rings/swivels so is blown up by the wind while the bike is moving, making it difficult for the police officer to read. To demonstrate it the police officer pushes against the plate and as it swings back forward it gets stuck (can't remember exactly, there might have even been a magnet involved) and therefore is completely invisible. Whooooooops..... Unfortunately can't remember how the police handled it.

2:09 - Accelerate for me (and the van in the left lane). Same again 2:29 it's more dangerous to stop. I think I've maybe gone through 4 red lights in my lifetime because of it though? But what's more likely, me being caught for that or the incidents shown in the video? Road risk assessing continues...

The person in the Tesla did the correct thing but I think I would have carried on. He came to quite a sudden stop. But that is no excuse fore the driver behind not paying enough attention.
