A dash cam will not excuse you if a copper requests the video AFTER an accident and it identifies you as the cause.

you nailed it, everyone doing the myway code

Too true jezp1976. Too true mate.

soon got back in his car as well, he got out to confront cammer with some bull s**t but was beaten to it.

That comment was such cringe way for the driver in #58 (31:50) to turn what was a good clip of being aware on the road into "so anyway I have an R8" 😅

That is hardly a hill, does that truck only got a 3hp briggs and stratton engine in it? No vehicles have a lower reverse ratio, common myth and especially a truck with crawler gears! Also a rwd car would prefer to be driven up a snowy hill as opposed to a fwd car!

Wrong, wrong, and a big smelly pile of wrong lmao. I'm a HGV mechanic before you jump the gun. -It has nothing to do with 'torque' whether you reverse or drive forwards up a hill, only traction is relevant, as first gear (and maybe crawler gears depending on the wagon) is perfectly fine. -RWD vehicles gain more traction driving forwards uphill, because the weight shifts to the rear, so he wouldn't be reversing up for that reason. That's why FWD's are shit at launching, and wheel hop, because all the weight leaves the front of the car. That's also why FWD's are better in snow, and why you might be better reversing a RWD in snow, because the weight shifts away from the driven wheels, and doesn't allow the tyres to dig into the floor. FWD's do a better job of 'gliding' over the top of the snow. Why the fuck would you reverse up in a RWD in good conditions for more traction, making the weight shift AWAY from where you want more traction? -Loaded or unloaded, he shouldn't have ANY trouble getting up that 'hill', which is hardly a hill... I've seen steeper car parks. Either way, but especially if he's loaded, he's better going forward, and if he's really struggling at any point, he needs a run-up, or to use his diff lock on straights, if the wagon has one. Again, gears, if the retard was driving forwards like he should be, he'd be happily tootling up that hill probably in about 6th or 7th gear. Aaaaannnnd after a quick look on google maps, would you look at that. The survey says: Driver's a fucking idiot. Rather than use any of the lay-bys and turn-ins, further down the area in the video, but before he reaches the bridge, he's used his massive brain and decided to reverse almost a mile up the road, blocking one lane of traffic, and endangering or at least confusing all the traffic, before he finally has to reverse onto a roundabout to turn around and find the correct route that he and his company should've planned in the first place. It's not even like it's temporary problem or something new that's cropped up... it's a decades-old railway bridge.

Always hard (but not impossible) to avoid on those 50 limit stretches. Also notice that cammer didn’t stop to offer their footage…

the expense will be covered by the lorry drivers insurance (if they had any).

you must be annoyed with yourself, the vehicle approaching from the right has priority not the vehicle approaching from the left.

@@georgebarnes8163 watch the video again and think about if you were driving the silver car, what do you see? The white car 2 cars in front enters the roundabout signalling left and begins to take the left exit, that is when the silver car enters the roundabout and it has made it half a car length out when the black car appears from behind the white one, enters the roundabout far too fast and also crossing straight over the middle and goes straight at the side of them. The roundabout WAS clear when the silver car pulled out. Do you have to give way to the right even for people who haven't even reached the roundabout yet? (No)

@@MikeWalls7829 Irrelevant, the vehicle approaching from the right has priority, end of story. You have to give way to traffic approaching from the right regardless if they are on the roundabout or not, read the rules on roundabouts, there is no mention of traffic ON the roundabout but APPROACHING the roundabout.

@@MikeWalls7829 - YES!

@@georgebarnes8163 mike is right. There are three laws that govern mini-roundabout use: 1. give priority to the right to vehicles ON the carriageway of the roundabout 2. keep left of the white circle marking 3. give way at the white circle marking to traffic on the roundabout unfortunately, the highway code doesn't really explain the law particularly well and not many people bother to read the actual legislation. A lot of people mistakenly think that they get priority if they are approaching from the right, even if they've not yet crossed onto the roundabout. That encourages many drivers to approach mini-roundabouts at an inappropriate speed.

Yep, video author comments on observation skills of turning car, which is legit, but makes no comment on a BMW who think it's sensible to absolutely rag it past stationary traffic on his right.

cowboy company, it was probably the boss

I don’t trust anyone who plays music post 1990

I think that is the case for the type of crossing in the clip.

depends on the type of crossing in the UK, Toucan crossings can be used by cyclists

You still have to give way to the right regardless of whether or not they're indicating, I never go unless it's completely clear. You often have to cut across lanes on a roundabout, there's sometimes no other way. All this footage shows is that the cammer pulled out in front of someone coming from their right, on a roundabout.

Yes you made a good point, but as the cyclists had camera on to his head, he moved out, without looking, as much the same happened mé tó, passing a cyclists, I moved out gave him room, the cyclists put his arm out, moved out, to change lanes without looking

I was taught if you have to drive through deep water, then reverse this creates a bow wave at the front(back of vehicle), lowering the water level (momentarily) at the back where your air intake now is. and you are absolutely right, sucking up water into the engine will cause 'hydraulicing' as a liquid cannot be compressed and that weakens the con rod, all may appear ok after removing the water and getting the engine started, but it will likely fail soon after ( personal experience)

If the driver were to plead mitigating circumstances, he/she could say it was dark and couldn't see the 'lake' until too late.

Mini driver's resistance and denial all get recorded and she gets more severe penalty.

Absolutely, not only were you doing dumb stuff, you couldn't spot the super-high visibility enforcement. If I get caught speeding by an undercover car then ok, I get caught, but if I get caught by a marked car? Boy do I deserve that ticket, what were my eyes doing?

You might as well say "It's up to other drivers to consider the fact I want to drive like an absolute moron" Technically, that is sort of true I suppose, we should always be paying attention to others around us however, that was 100% on the driver merging. When i merge anywhere, it couldn't be simpler, it's 100% on me to make sure I can fit into the lane I need to get into, I either put my foot down, or I slow down, it couldn't be simpler. With that being said, every day I see drivers that can't even manage to join from a slip road, it's truly baffling why these sort of people think they have the right to be on the roads.

#33 He wasnt saying cut hm off, he was saying "just go" which is what I would have done before that point. My instincts there would have been that stopping in the fast lane must be avoided at all costs. If he hadn't pulled in within a second or so I would have driven round him. I would have also stayed much further back earlier on to give them a wide bearth so I would never have got in to the situation where I had to choose between stopping in the fast lane or driving around him leaving him stranded there. He would have pulled back in much sooner no doubt because he would have seen he has plenty of space to do so before I got near him. He may have hesitated because he didn't know if the cammer car was going to stop and let him in. He probably also stalled by the looks of it as he probably wasn't planning on completely stopping! Although if I had ended up right in front of him after he stopped and being forced to choose between leaving him stranded and letting him through it depends on whether traffic was also stopped behind me. If no traffic behind there is no doubt I would have carried on for fear of someone smashing in to the back of me. If there was traffic behind then I might have waited a SLIGHT amount of time longer depending on how many cars behind but I doubt I would ever have stopped I would have slowed down to a crawl at the slowest to give more time before I reached him and had to decide

100% correct. Not only did he illegally straight line it he also floored it simply to cut the other driver off. Appalling driving and a flawed assessment by the cammer who obviously does the same thing right after.

If the tree fell from the right then it has right of way.

I'm not sure it's entirely fair to blame the Golf. If you look ahead of the Golf just before the moment of impact, it looks like another vehicle has just started to pull out into Lane 3 ahead of the Golf, and the Golf may have been braking to avoid it. Ultimately a lesson to all, if you see everyone ahead starting to brake, be prepared to have to slow/stop suddenly.

The golf was blameless. Obviously you didn't watch it properly. The cammer was solely to blame

Was about to say the same thing. It may be a narrow lane but it's still designed for two-way traffic - they should have been in single file.

There is no might :) It's the owners responsibility to make sure that it does not endanger anyone. If the land is publicly owned, enjoy sending the bill to the council.

Got to say, bloody great reactions by the oncoming car's driver, saved themselves getting a tree over the bonnet. Can see them slam on the brakes just in time for the tree to hit the ground and shatter into smaller bits 😬

As a driver, I agree. Crazy.

The BMW was very lucky to not be collected by the van.

Agreed on mirrors. Takes 3minutes maximum to adjust the trucks mirrors. Amazes me how many dont clean all glasswork enough too. Depends on size of the vehicle in 'the blindspot' nearside front. And I bet the Tranny occupants needed fresh underwear along with beemer occupants 😂
