Normal behavior nowadays

The dog at the roundabout was the only one who made sense in this mess - I can’t believe you have to put up with this every day

The joys of motorcycling. The answer is always "you were going to fast".

The one that annoys me is when people fly round corners at high speed, not knowing if there are parked cars or other hazards on the other side. Naturally, they don't indicate before doing so. We have roadworks near my house and some woman in an SUV did it and nearly crashed into me. You could see by her outraged Karen expression that she thought it was my fault.

The amount of times drivers pull out on me without looking is unbelievable and they never apologize. 🤦‍♂️

I live in Surbiton and it is exactly the same. People who drive German SUVs think they can drive however they like and are always in the right. There is a road that leads on to Maple road and they always cut the corner as they pull in, glaring at me for daring to be on the bit of road they want to be on as I wait to pull out. Also they always seem to think they have right of way so will just pull out from behind parked buses into the other lane to overtake, pull out in front of you at a roundabout or just pull out in front of you onto a main road.

Have a drive round Wembley, I truly believe a lot of people who drive round Wembley have never taken a driving lesson in this country.

What really annoys me is people who indicate right and go straight ahead so misleading and dangerous 🤔🤔

Welcome to Richmond! 😂 😂 😂 I am afraid that it isnt just in Richmond that many drivers dont respect or obey the rules of the road 🤯🤯 I do drive in London and see abysmal driving everyday, mind blowing to be fair! I could easily write a book about it 😂😂😂

Box junctions seem to confuse people the most, drivers have no idea how to negotiate them.

Overtakes on zig zags approaching a crossing, then complains about other drivers😂

Spot on you for putting up with it. Thankfully I live in a semi-rural English idyll. Well for now at least, the local town council want to build several hundred new houses where the fields are.

It's not just richmond it's fucking everywhere!!! It's stressful to drive with people's standard dropping to as near as third worlds.

I liked this video as much for the commentary as I did for the onscreen muppetry. I can't say it's all perfect up here in sunny Manchester, but I don't recall any commute of mine being like yours. Although I do have a roundabout on my daily ride that makes me nervous, despite it being right next to the Greater Manchester Police Headquarters.

upload footage to met police . I had someone pull out of a junction infront of me the other day within close range and didnt even attempt to get up to to speed quickly. This was on a 40mph road. When I honked at him he made a brake check so I reported him and he was prosecuted. If every dashcam owner did this so many people would get points and would learn to behave as their insurance skyrockets and the risk of driving ban increases

It’s not just Richmond… :( On your first clip, tricky to work out who had priority. It’s generally who got to the row of parked cars first. So if you were overtaking the row of parked cars and the road was clear ahead, the mini should have given way.

This is just ordinary biking in town. Nothing exceptional for a seasoned rider. That first clip - see a gap, aim for it - no sweat.

That first one was scary. You have cars on your left that could potentially open their doors to knock you into the street & the nut who won't get over near the curb. In addition, they blast the horn to further cause danger.

Beautiful scenery

I am glad you are surviving. I am interested in something. Do you think at times the fact that your stealthy electric steed makes no noise means some numpties in some situations don't notice you? There is a school of thought in motorbiking that a noiser bike for commuting helps. But I am not sure about that as most are either on the phones or listening to the radio or both, or just away with the fairies so wouldn't hear you in WW2 tank towing a trailer with a Scandinavian death metal band cranked up to 11 on it. What do you think?

I feel your pain, we live in our van, and travel around Europe for months at a time, and these morons are everywhere, and it gets worse the further you go, don't even consider driving in Turkey unless you have extremely good, expensive insurance and breakdown cover, we crashed into a car that pulled out in front of us in Turkey, we thought we had lost our home, luckily, the Turks are very good at repairing vehicles, but I understand why

1 50 The traffic was moving all the time and didn't stop in the keep clear area what was your problem ?

The only thing bigger than the Volvo is the drivers ego

Hey SWSS, can I use some of this, please?

Mini did steer towards centre of road. It had right of way but cam vehicle is a scooter. There was room for both. 1st roundabout Tiguan should have given way. Scooter wisely took a line to the right but Tiguan driver may have interpreted incorrectly and expected scooter to use right hand lane. 2nd roundabout with Mazda is a poor junction. Right signal is correct but angle of mini roundabout could perhaps make signalling right seem like scooter is about to turn right around. The road junctions are poorly conceived but lack of care by others is obvious. If the council is approached to rectify the poor junctions, the result will be lower traffic flow, greater bottlenecks and pollution. What the councils do typically increases frustration yet they claim greater safety.

There are two exit lanes on the roundabout, what was your problem?

Don't let them get to you too much, every one of them will be taking their last breath one day. 🤪👍❤️

I don't want to be rude here, but i just wanted to point out that the 'Audi' is a Volkswagen Tiguan 👍👍

Even the dog hates that roundabout...Presumably the mini driver was heading to work at the bus garage ?

Was that an unrestrained dog at the roundabout?

Lol I’ve driven that route many times. Accurate observations haha

Two options get an old defender with rail tracks as bumpers and plough on through, they wont win when the insurance see the footage, and the damage to the defender, (what damage) Or a few quite heavy nuts and bolts one dink in a BMW wing will cost them about £400 quid.

I had your first scenario just recently, I was driving at the time. Parked cars on my side but plenty of room for two cars to pass. Just like your Mini, the guy just keeps coming straight at me. First I flash the light and nothing and then I see he is talking to his passenger. Hit the horn, he swerves left just a second before I was going to hit the brakes. Thank me for preventing him driving head on into another car? Why no, he also leans on the horn, mouths abuse and even stopped in the road and was going to attempt a turn to come after me except he (or his passenger) clearly changed his mind. I drive with front and rear cams for a reason, these absolute morons are everywhere.

Love your commentary

it's not only cyclist that get bad motorist lol having fun m8 good video ;)

When I hear motorcyclists complain about other road users it truly makes me laugh ! 😂

As someone who drives and cycles I tend to be as defensive as possible on two wheels and will often deliberately hang back or give way when I actually have the right of way because I know I am the most vulnerable if there is a misunderstanding OR a road bully. Every driver or cyclist will have an occasional moment of lapse of concentration or make a wrong decision and I'm forgiving for most of these. I freely admit I have but I like to think it's not very often and out of character. But there's a minority who are just dangerous to meet out on the roads.

DVSA need to really do something about the low driving standards

Clearly you enjoy 'living life on the edge'. Was that an unrestrained dog sitting in the front seat with a wide open car window at time point 1.56

Sadly, not surprised. I was a biker, but got too used to my creature comforts as I got older but these bad driving habits of certain road users havent improved in the intervening decade...

The driver of the car stranded in the middle of the road had been flummoxed by a no entry sign. They probably thought that if they waited a few minutes it might disappear. Typical Richmond behaviour.

There's been studies that found out that people in posher cars drive more selfishly and Richmond is well posh

3 25 We could see you were indicating to turn right never saw the left indicator going left .

Not cool ?. Line of traffic and over the white line, video finished. What happened further on up the road ?.

You should see Washington Tyne and Wear. I think every driver got their license out of a cereal packet

Wow that’s actually ridiculous all this just within a day of driving.

This looks normal in most places. I feel like a movie stunt driver sometimes because of the risk you get from others

Keep on them roads, you will get your Darwin Award soon enough. There has got to be a better way.

A vaccuous idiot in a Volvo is hardly a rarity. They should be fitted with light bars like an emergency services vehicle. Might give the general public a better chance, but no guarantee !

Just got rid of my 900 Thunderbird. 1, 💩 roads 2, other peeps 💩 driving

Expect the unexpected. 🙂

This is an everyday occurrence anywhere in London literally 😩😩😩

3:31 Is that Richmond Park to the left of you?

Her3 we go full of idiots except myself

i driven motorcycle in Richmond for 40 years. There is some degree of anticipation you neef to apply

You should try Leeds mate

1:24 what are you doing???

I'm a car driver and I apologise too all riders of motorbikes and bicycles.. 🙏👍

I watched this because I thought it was going to be about the city in Virginia, but that's okay. It was interesting anyway. On a different note, what do the wiggly lines on the road signify?

I hear the pigeons are the size of condors

Is this the place the sausages come from?

Hardly fair on the people of Richmond. Your clip shows you driving through Kew, then along the boundary of Sheen & Richmond. Most of the people driving over Manor Circus aren't local. This clip is fairly tame though, I've lived on the Sandycombe Road for over 10 years, I've seen plenty worse, especially at Manor circus. Tip for you: take Enerdale Road, first right after Kew Village, then you can approach Manor Circus from the west and not have to wait for the idiots

For the black Lexus, you were behind his pillar. He looked at the Dacia in front of you but his pillar would have obscured the back of the car and you. Therefore, you are correct in that you'appeared' from nowhere. Be safe

This behaviour is nationwide, bad driving is normal now

Should try driving in Richmond Virgina of the USA sometime. Thats tame to how bad things can get in the USA sometimes. Drivers can be dumb everywhere I suppose hahaha.

Richmond looks nice.

The only really stupid thing I could see was a dog in the front seat of a car. Everything else is normal and to be expected on crowded roads. That's why we keep within 30mph.

Its not the only place with them,the police have given up all control over motorists

I'm afraid we are full of foreigners.

Is this the feeble minded people of Richmond ?

Other than that, one of the nicest places to live in the country, I cant argue with it personally it's beautiful. Idiot drivers are everywhere.

In the last one you were indicating right while leaving which I don’t think helped

Isn't that the attitude these days , fuck it I'll just go !!!

Should trying living here in Baildon, Yorkshire. Seems most people here own an SUV or pickup truck now and I can tell by the looks they give me that they despise me because I ride a bicycle. Had some prick in a Range Rover yesterday backing out of my local Tesco car park. There was a lorry next to him and barely any space for him to back out his stupid oversized car in general. He decided to start backing out right as I got out of the shop and unlocked my bike, so I was there pushing it in front of his car, waiting for him to do his silly little maneuver. He waved me through, so I had to fit myself and my bike through a tiny gap in between his Range Rover and the lorry. I bumped the trailer of the lorry a few times with one of my grips because there wasn't enough space. Didn't do any damage to the lorry though. Anyway, it was a sunny day, so after I got home and put my shopping away, I decided to go to Leeds (where there's plenty of separated cycle lanes) and have a ride about. It put me back in a good mood. My bike and those separated cycle lanes are pretty much my therapist. Helps me clear my head when I have to put up with tossers here in Baildon. Just hate having to return to this car-centric hellhole after having a nice ride in Leeds.

If you are going straight on you don't indicate right.

Try cycling round there. After the relative sanctity of the park it’s like the Wild West. Zero f*cks given.

The great British car drivers...😂

I always wonder how people actually pass their tests, drivers nowadays don't have any thought for other drivers and ignore road signs & pedestrian crossings. I passed my car licence in the 70s & also my bike licence. I was taught to be helpful to other drivers & to watch for hazards ect. This hardly ever happens now, its like everyone for themselves & bollox to anyone who gets in their way.

Pedal cycles with strobe lights rae east to see, even in daytime... why do motorcycles not have the same!

And those are the pinheads that say "cyclists are the problem, taking up space!!!!!"

HI BOSS

But you are on two wheels, clearly you have yield (sarcasm)

Half the vid you was in kew😂 there just as bad on foot😂

Audi SUV is actually a VW. Still awful driving. Where have road manors gone?

Dog shouldn't be in front seat

It's all of the uk

It's a vw tiguan not an audi 😂😂

He wasn't in the middle of the road and clearly you have no idea what 4.5 to 5 feet looks like. A mini is 1.727 m wide or 5ft 8 ins. Take a look at the gap to the kerb again.

In fairness to that HGV driver. He was in the right to block the keep clear box...If he was to keep out of the keep clear box on the roundabout then you lot would of taken the piss as you all usually do and pull out when the exit to your left was moving leaving the HGV driver stuck there.....because as the traffic was moving only a cars length in front of him, as brain dead car drivers do what there all good at is push in.....😂

SUV 🙄

That 'keep clear' sign written on road is useless,it should be a big hatchedyellow box ffs

Really looking forward to your video showing all the stupid, dangerous, selfish things cyclists do on our roads?🤔

You moaned about the mini being central to the road, why were you riding at the end on the other side of the road, where oncoming vehicles would be coming toward you? Stay in your own lane, and sit in traffic like cars have to.

Audi tossers

How dare you drive on their roads

Mongo Drivers

Women drivers

dude you are overreacting,if u drive like this in greece you will be dead for sure in less than a day

You could solve many of these problems with your speed. Slow down. Don’t drive into situations with your horn. But then we wouldn’t get these videos if you took yourself to a higher level of riding

Not sure why you're crying at the lorry on the roundabout. When did he come to a complete stop? If this sort of thing winds you up, maybe get the bus!
