Well we do the same here....3am no other traffic around, sitting in a car waiting for the red lights to change.

@@T.K.9 I mean both extremes are stupid.

@@friktionrc No he means pedestrians, not people in vehicles lol.

@@Ripcraze he was, but I wasn’t. I used his example of people standing in Japan, and compared it to how cars wait at lights here in the UK at 3am….not quite sure how you struggle to comprehend the comparison I was making lol

Maybe something with red and green lights? :D

@@PeterPeter07 That sounds brilliant and simple!

What's even more amusing... don't the crossings in London count down the seconds remaining for the green pedestrian phase? 🤦 Nothing against sharing, but everyone needs to follow their respective rules and brush up on their self-preservation instincts.

@@_Steven_S I wouldn't use my brakes and just help the nature take it's toll.

Safety aside its a common sense to cross after u ensured theres no danger coming from either side of the road and u can cross in a timely manner.

Yes mate me too I mean get off the ting for two secs

Reading this comment on my phone crossing the road…

Spot on people are obsessed with mobile phones they need to get a life

Smombies (Smartphone Zombies). Without higher Brainfunctions

Same in Norway to.

My dad works in the emergency ward, the amount of people that don't look before crossing is honestly amazing, youd think the risk of a two tonne car ramming into your legs would scare you enough into thinking "i might wanna check the road before crossing" and funnily enough the majority of people are older folk who think cars will give way to them because they're older (its part of the culture there that older people are highly respected so many people will go above and beyond to cater to the elderly) so they step out onto busy roads without looking and thwack, they wake up staring at my dad lol. The rest are younger kids who are too busy on tiktok to look at the road before stepping out infront of a bus. Hong Kong by the way.

Yeah but people didn't used to be wrapped in cotton wool and given runner-up awards for attending.

Did he buy the car in the end? Dont leave us hanging bro.

@@Rose.Of.Hizaki Unfortunately no, he ghosted me afterwards and I couldn’t get ahold of him. So -1 car sold, boss ain’t happy

@@MEIZNER0 thats a shame 😂 He most likely took offence at your _"look out for motorcycles"_ comment. You can tell by the absolute look of disgust he had for RJ in the video when RJ cut him off. If you could murder someone just by looking at them with a face like that. RJ would be dead on the floor instantly🤣 In any case - car sales should be going through the roof for you regardless of him buying or not. Local dealerships around here are making absolute bank by selling cars that have been traded in at over £1000 what they paid for it because people are just so desperate to have a car they are happy to get conned out of their savings.

@@Rose.Of.Hizaki Yea thats right haha! Definetly, we aint doing too bad. We earn quite a lot on our used cars because there is a lack of microchips for new cars. So because people don't wanna wait on a new car, they'll just buy a used instead. Boss ain't mad anymore, sold 6 used cars this week. haha. :)

@@MEIZNER0 is 6 a big number for a car salesman? I don't mean any offence by it, I'm just curious as it seems that there's always a lot more people in car dealerships to sell cars to. Is it just that the majority of customers are either "just looking" or end up ghosting you? Or is your location a pretty big factor as well?

HAHAHA holy shit you are right. i didnt even recognize him at first and i been watching him for years.

@@PlatosDeviations rape is okay, good to know 👍

@@DracoRemixer He didn't rape nobody.. Was a convicted of rape? Do you know that women who accused him? How are u so sure about your postulate?

I only became aware of Jes Dorph-Petersen due to this interaction in London. I see him cross the road like an idiot, and then state (source ekstrabladet.dk) "there is no indication of whether there is a red or green light", which is a lie. Then he goes on to say "I can see that this motorcycle is coming, but I think I can get over it before. But the motorcycle rides so fast that he reaches me first" making it sound like the motorcyclists fault and says "in my view it is the motorcyclist who is a fool". He doesn't sound like a 'kind guy' and sounds untrustworthy to me. I don't know if he did rape someone, or not, but I wouldn't believe his word lol

There are no new laws, the Road Traffic Act has not changed.

@Rollz show me the change to the RTA then?

@@theloudbloke The changes to the highway code are enforceable under the law so I think, despite some narrow minded pedantry, that we can safely say there has been a change to the law.

@@georgebaker2164 correct, existing legislation, the law was already in place. Cyclist always could cycle 2 or more abreast, or in the middle of the lane. Likewise cyclists don't have to use the cycle path. Turning left or right in front of a cyclist, is driving without due care. Pedestrians always had right of way. So nothing has changed.

@@theloudbloke The Highway Code has been revised; that has legal effect. So, yes the law has been amended.

Selveste Jes Dorph-Petersen

Yes. In this situation I think it was excessively aggressive for RJ to push past when the pedestrian was already occupying the crossing directly ahead of the bike.

He rides fast too.

It also appears that he doesn't indicate that he was going left down the road the pedestrian was crossing!

@@Mutzig79 he doesn’t need to indicate left look at the arrow on the floor of the road

@@Mikeburrows92 You still need to indicate when changing lanes! The road markings are to tell vehicles what lane to be in, indicators are to tell other people where you are going! As you clealy don't know this, I recommend you hand your license in!

Unfortunately, for this to work pedestrians have to have a brain and not walk around like they don't have to obey the rules.

No brains, no lights.

Well, he (Jes Dorph) did have a hard time knowing when to stop when he sexually assualted some girls. No wonder he´s having a hard time understanding a red light.

@@MegaForza1 ahahahahahaha :D

Well, in his defense the rider doesn't show his intention very clear here. Almost stopping like he is letting the guy pass. Doesn't make the walking guy right tho.

Bet you never walk anywhere Because you hate pedestrians………

You might be correct there definitely a good assumption

Some pedestrians are like this; they see a car rolling on (in a turn) and will still walk out. I saw a lady do this yesterday.

Also Dizzy, there are terrible drivers as well. Perhaps driver reexamination should happen every 3-5 years, depending on age.. or lessen after getting a perfect score multiple times. Regulations should be stricter. Also, vehicles motorcycles or larger are deadly devices.

@@carlose6010 I can understand about the re-examination idea but it sounds like just one more way for the government to squeeze cash out of the motorists. Now an assesment after an accident or a traffic violation I could support with the right conditions/rules. I agree that a vehicle (motorcycle, car, van, HGV, etc) has the potential to do more harm than a cyclist or pedestrian but that's why if you break the law the punishments are proportionately harsher. I'd also argue that everyone has the potential to cause a lethal accident on the roads. A pedestrian steps out in front of a car without looking, car swerves and hits a cyclist coming the other way. The car may have collided with and killed the cyclist but the cause of the accident was the pedestrian. We all have the potential so we must all share the responsibility for keeping the roads as safe as possible. The hierarchy of users in the highway code has good intentions but is badly flawed. Right now the problem we have is an inequality of prosecution, for example cyclists run red lights with greater frequency than motor vehicles because it's highly unlikely they'll be caught and punished. In hackney over a span of 90 minutes at one set of traffic lights police stopped 18 cyclists for running a red light, the cyclists received a £50 fine and educated about traffic safety. This only happened because the police ran a special operation. Cyclists aren't even required to read the highway code so many may not even know the laws and guidance they're supposed to follow on the road.

it seemed quite darwinian

The worst part is turning off a main road doing 30, onto a side road, and pedestrians just step out infront of you now. I also have cyclcists deliberately undertaking at a junction because you have to give way to them EVEN IF THEY ARE UNDERTAKING. Too many people with too much time on their hands in lockdown 😑

Exactly what I said to a snowflake

Miss out a bit , they are trying to make our country like the third world countries

Pedestrians have always had the right of way... why are people acting like anything has changed

If you're driving sensibly and paying attention to what you're doing, there is no need to "stand" on the brakes.

It is

@@ts757arse that exhaust is orgasmic, even better when you scare the demonic peds

If you can see the traffic lights, they're usually a good indicator.... 🤔

@@g.w.customcreations3534 nope they aren't. Say you have an intersection between road 1 and road 2, with a set of traffic lights for each. At any point in time, set 1 or set 2 will always be green for cars. There is no point in time in which set 1 and 2 are both red. So if I want to cross road 1, and set 1 is green, I can't cross for obvious reasons. If set 2 is green, it's still unsafe to cross as there might be cars coming from road 2 wanting to turn into road 1 (which I'm trying to cross) without indicating (happens very often). So I as a pedestrian are left to guess on whether the cars are indeed not turning if they don't indicate, or whether they just forgot about indicating. This is a traffic light arrangement that I've only ever seen in the UK. In all other countries, if there's traffic lights for cars, there always are also traffic lights for pedestrians with associated zebra crossings.

@Mouse Bikes 🤣

Break the rules, suffer broken bones.

"There isn’t any guidelines for when pedestrians should / shouldn’t cross" - what? even in my backwards country it clearly states - "pedestrians are not allowed to walk on a road if there's a sidewalk next to it. Crossing the road is only allowed at crosswalks or intersections. Pedestrian has to make sure he is being let through by vehicles before stepping on the road while crossing."

@@sFde46 😂 yes, in the UK we do actually have guidance of how and when to cross the road. We get taught how to cross the road as children at school. Whether people follow the guidance is another matter

@@1obsessionafteranother794 im talking not about "guidance/guidelines", i'm talking about road rules. Rules that you must follow or get fined.

@@sFde46 I’m just going off what you said in your original post, which was “guidelines”, so that’s what the other guy and I’m talking about. If you actually meant rules, then you should have said rules. Or do you mean laws, or enforceable laws? Anyway, I was just reassuring the other guy that we have guidelines 😂

The facial expression of self proclaimed entitlement... 🤣

Yes yes everyone has an agenda

There are no new rules; they are the same rules as before, you just actually understand them better now.

@@fredmercury1314 It seems like a new rule to me. Formerly, a driver should give way if someone was crossing the mouth of a junction. Now, the driver should give way if someone is waiting to cross.

I saw the request to submit to the consultation online, and did so.

@@chrispop99 The question is: Has that changed in the law, or only in the Highway Code?

I am sure they only exist in London and Edinburgh. I live in Edinburgh but I'm from Glasgow, obviously Glasgow is fairly industrial with a rough history so doesn't get a lot of tourism, so if my memory serves me right those markings on the road don't exist in Glasgow. I am heading to Glasgow today so I will edit this if I am wrong lol.

Jes Dorph-Pedestrian ?

No-one in England has a clue about road safety that's why I burst out laughing when people suggest we should make our motorways like autobahns in Germany 😅 can you imagine 😅

@@Camberwell86 i can, i am German, being on UK motorways.... you are dead in 3mins! entering the motorway will delete 85% of UK drivers, and another 20 % will die by leaving it....lol 105% so you are dead before leaving your home!

There's nothing in law to compel a pedestrian to read the highway code at all. We have a rulebook of how to make use of the road system in harmony with each other but the biggest category of road users aren't required to know any of the rules. There needs to be a test before anyone is allowed on the road, including pedestrians.

Probably difficult to focus when you're constantly living in fear of getting stabbed.

Add cyclists ignoring red and hey presto......

honestly same. i have been riding a pedal bike for a while and i hate shared use paths as pedestrians just walk wherever the fuck they want without looking or responding to your actions. they often seem to be distracted with heads buried in phones. good luck on your CBT, i did mine a few weeks ago and it was great fun.

@@supremeleader9838 I failed the first one because I did not turn my head enough. Round two coming in shortly.

@@NarniaTheMC how did it go?

Jaywalking laws aren't very effective as people will just do it anyway - where I grew up (Hong Kong) jaywalking is illegal but police do it anyways lol. Also there's no way to introduce a law regarding headphones, as how would you police it? You wouldn't know if there is even any music playing, it could be an audiobook or may not be playing anything at all - then there's the ethical side, if you can introduce a law regarding people not being aware due to their lack of ability to hear what's going on around them - that could also technically (unintentionally) apply to deaf people as well.

🤔Are we talking a motorbike rider, or a bicyclist? Cause if a two hundred pound bicycle rider can rear-end a 5500lbs car at any normal bicyclist speed--and cause it to be a complete write off--that car simply wasn't worth having to begin with.

If a vehicle is turning into a road and there is a pedestrian at the side of the road waiting to cross the vehicle should stop and let them cross. Doesn't mean that pedestrians should walk out in front of moving traffic but lots of people have assumed that's the case anyway. Probably because they didn't actually read it. Also none of the examples in the video come under the new rule.

I don't believe people in the video actually following the new rules. I believe they are just stupid idiots, and they were doing this long before the new ruling

@@regularjon9693 Thx, we had this law for decades already here. The biggest problem is people are claiming right of way. You don't claim it, you're supposed to be given right of way. Big difference

@@regularjon9693 I'd be interested to see the outcome if the first guy had been hit. I think, technically RJ was turning into a new road, and arguably the two guys were waiting to cross. Albeit one decided to go a bit kamikaze

@@smokeybarr I think this is a different type of road. Can you see there are no dotted lines breaking up the entrance to the road? Plus it's a dual carriageway. If you look at the pictures on the highway code website it looks they apply to residential streets mostly. You know the type that are at right-angles and have 20-30mph speed limits.

MEGA CAP, er du dum eller hvad? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

There is no such crime as "jaywalking"in the UK, just in the country of massive automotive lobbies

@@xecoq Interesting. That would explain why these idiots just cross whenever they feel, with absolute abandon.

I think people are just getting confused with it as you don't actually HAVE to give way, the rule says 'should' not 'must'. I think the whole thing has just been a bunch of desk jockeys trying to justify their pay packet.

@@sumorabbit2160 The worst part about that, is the people 'trying to justify their pay packet' are the ones all the way up to the top. This got written into law (?) and not a single person along the way intervened. It's putting a lot of people in danger of serious injury. Never mind the whole service/seeing eye dog issue around how they're trained. The whole thing is a joke. A bad one.

@@archaeolas I fully agree and it's going to cause a lot of crap!

In Norway it's kinda the same thing? Cars must stop at crossings without lights for people. But at intersections with lights pedesterians have to follow the lights.

@@espenius91 We have quite a few different types of pedestrian crossings in the UK. Some have lights, some don't. Like the 'zebra crossing' for example. If a pedestrian wants to cross the road on a zebra crossing the traffic must stop for them. This new rule is different though. It's talking about all road junctions. It doesn't specify that there must be a drop curb or any kind of marking or indication, other than the presence of a pedestrian who may or may not walk out into the road... Road junctions are the worst place to cross a road. You should always use a marked crossing or at least a straight section of the road away from corners or junctions so that the traffic has more chance to see you.

It's a shame common sense isn't so common.

It's never been a law, just HWC guidance. The difference now is that pedestrians, and sometimes cyclists, have priority even whilst waiting to cross. Vehicles in that scenario SHOULD stop to give the more vulnerable road user priority. (I'm not championing this rule change; I think it's crazy, and said so in my reply to the consultation on it.)

@@chrispop99 I think we are making the same point. If you mean the Rule H2 that has caused the most upset, it does contain reference to law, as do many of the recent changes made to the HWC. I think this is the issue with the HWC in some respects, there is too little understanding that it is both a rule book of laws that pertain to road users but also extensive rules and guidance that may not be enforceable by law but are necessary for people to get along wile using the roads. The 'should' rules and guidance in the HWC are there to support the 'MUST' laws. My point was that something doesn't have to be law to be common sense and that attempting to pick and choose while sharing the road with many other road users (as is the case in almost ever built-up area of the UK) mostly indicates ignorance. I don't entirely agree with the wording of the first statement on rule H2 but I do believe that elevating pedestrian and cyclist safety is important as we clearly don't have the mean to change road layout everywhere to something even more like the Dutch model which would reduce conflict by separating those users from vehicles more often.
