Remember it's the driver not the make of the car which is at fault. Just watch any roundabout exit and you'll see at least 50% fail to indicate. Not all are Audis or BMWs.

@@stephengraham1153 yeah but most that do it, drive those sorts of cars.... "Always an Audi"..... stereotypes exists for a reason.

You legend 👍

Usually it starts will peeling it otherwise it doesn’t taste nice 😉 I think that clip shows why eating while driving should have its own category of offence rather than the high threshold offence of driving without due care and attention

@@smilerbob , I struggle with an orange sitting at the table, let alone trying to eat one in the car. I wouldn’t want a sticky orange mess in my car anyway, although I suppose it would smell nice! 😁

try chicken chow mien and rice with chop sticks rice, now that's hard an orange no probs

can you imagine going to court saying I went through that red light because I had a busy schedule.

@@thelondondashcam I know. It's not acceptable because they are putting other people's lives at risk. Stricter implementation of traffic laws should force care providers to employ enough people who don't need to drive badly, otherwise, ultimately, they will lose their workforce to driving bans and accidents.

Workload my butt. Priority is road user safety. My family use the roads. To hell with your workload excuse

@@grahamnutt8958 I like your one, more subtle. How many people will remember the adverts? “The future is bright, the future is -a taxi driver eating an- Orange” Those were the days, sending a text message took longer than tapping a morse code telegram and petrol was somewhere around 70p per litre

​@@smilerbobStrewth, mate. I'm old enough to remember 5 star Petrol - and 60p/Gallon lol 😂

@@grahamnutt8958 I vaguely remember one of the star ratings, most likely 4-star and a lot of grumbling people where I lived moaning about the need to have additives added to every tank fill. For some reason I have 4-star as red or black at the pump, unleaded green and diesel yellow but that could be some scrambled memories joining together

It was quite the surprise; they are always one to watch out for, amongst all of the ones, obviously.🙃

I bet the guy dropped off someone in the drop off area and just picked up folks who were waiting there. Saves him 10 quid that he dings both sets of passengers for.

@@xo2quilt Everyone's a winner,proper job done there.Except if you are driving around & around trying to find a space to drop someone off.

Put cameras there, a fine for every taxi not dropping off will soon get the coffers full 👍

Funny thing is they quote some absolute crap about doing it to build back after the plandemic because of losses as well as some net zero garbage and yet made a profit of 196 million last year which was a higher profit than pre plandemic in 2019 which the profit was around 150 million. I wonder what caused the huge leap in profit eh can't be parking related can it? lol

Both those fees are insane!! They definitely want you to drive an EV or use public transportation!

Ulez I feel is the biggest con as I has affected me and a lot of people. I sold my car when they brought in the extended zone in 2021. Its just a way to make money. I'm happy people are cutting the cameras off

​@@zaink7037you sold your car? Looks like their plan worked then.

😂

Go back and look at the roundabout sign see where the A297 is going.

@@thelondondashcam Queue jumper... plain and simple, much more important than just waiting in a queue

There are signs at jct 9a for the pick up lanes.

That's a whopping fine!! Would that only apply to professional drivers or if a family member dropped off and picked up family/friends in the drop off area, would they get fined as well?

Fart in a Fiat ?

@@thelondondashcam Tony, you’re a genius 🤣💎🤣

I thought it was fucking fiat 500.

If the Home Care person had had a collision, that might have used up a lot more of their time than the second or two they saved by driving dangerously.

@@ditch3827 As I said, I don't condone the driving. Just looking from a distance.

Maybe a fart in a Fiat

I would assume Lane 1 on the entry to the rouldabout will be for the first and second exit. The second lane will be second exit and beyond. The road markings look severely worn there so difficult to know fully

The left lane goes left or straight on so there is no lane swapping but following the lane round. the blue car moves from the right lane to the left then takes the first exit.

I get that the blue car definitely did the wrong thing, that's not in question. But I disagree on lane one going left and also straight on. If that was the case it would follow around like normal but it clearly doesn't. If you're in lane one and don't change lanes the only direction you can go is to take the exit? For me it's clear that lane one only goes to the first exit and if you want to go straight on you should be in lane two. If that's not the case then the design of this roundabout is clearly wrong.

@@CraigNielI see the confusion, it's two lanes going in to three. The left lane means you can take lane one or lane two on the roundabout, the second lane means lane three on the roundabout only.

Many roundabouts have less entry lanes than actual lanes on the roundabout, especially spiral roundabouts at larger junctions which this appears to be. If there are two lanes entering and three lanes on the roundabout, it goes without saying that one of those lanes will split into two. It is usually lane 1 that will split into two upon entry unless both lanes go left in which case lane 2 will split into lanes 2 and 3 on the roundabout

Spot on.@@icouldbewrongicouldberight

"Professional" isn't a mark of skill, it's a mark of payment. Being a professional at something just means you get paid to do it, it says nothing about someone's level of skill.

The last time I was at Heathrow, back in July, you could pay using your phone or you can open an account with the airport parking people. I'm assuming if you don't pay within a certain time you get a fine in the post.. From Gatwick airport website: "Terminal drop-off charge A minimum £5 charge now applies to use the designated drop-off zones in both North and South Terminals. You must pay the terminal drop-off charge by midnight the day after you use the drop-off zones. You can receive a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) if you're late or do not pay." Charges: £5 for 10 minutes £1 for each additional minute up to 20 minutes Maximum charge of £25 and the maximum length of stay 30 mins. 😮😮😮😮Hope this helps👍👍

Yes it’s done on auto pay as soon as the cameras spot my number plate £5 comes out of my bank account.

True! But no rules to say cyclist must obey speed limits! So they could legally do 40mph in a 20zone!

@@terrystratford1235 True! But if they hit someone at that speed then they would have committed the offences of dangerous or furious cycling. Cyclists like everyone else have a duty of care to other road users.

@@ditch3827 there was a news item where cops saw cyclist going 40mph in a 30zone. Cops gave them words of warning.....perhaps what you have just told me!?

In the last video LDC had a rant about defensive driving which is why he mentioned it in this video. His comment was a bit of a mickey take which wouldn't make a lot of sense unless you saw the previous video.👍👍👍

@@Holycurative9610 Understood and thank you, I haven’t seen the previous video so yes this would explain the lack of understanding with the inside joke 👍

@@johncranna Having seen the clip in question it was quite a terrible rant by LDC. Don’t get me wrong, I understand where he is coming from having spent many years driving around London and myself being one of the “I have right of way” brigade (shameful I know but no longer am I like that) but people make mistakes, people make errors of judgement. It was clear there was a chance the car was going to pull out but the only anticipation was the brake pedal and the horn. Maintaining the slower speed would have prevented all the agro in that clip. LDC is quite right, if a collision had occurred it was on the other driver not giving way. No arguments there. Defensive driving is about avoiding the conflict in the first place. Oh well, one day maybe

What's that word I am looking for? Could it be 'numpty', why did the van driver deserve you throwing that at them?

Oh dear are you the van driver by any chance? Because he obviously didn’t use common sense either. You can see 2 lanes going to the beginning of the roundabout can’t you ? Please say yes because if you can’t see that then there’s no point carrying on, now do you think 1 lane just disappears!! No they both go around the roundabout, there is plenty of room if the van driver ( You ) takes the roundabout properly.

@@thelondondashcam , there just aren't two lanes there. The traffic has moved over as a courtesy to cars like yourself turning right so, when the queue is stationary and safe to move by, you are enabled to. But rather than taking that as a cue to use the opportunity sensibly, you chose not to stagger your entry to the roundabout, as would be sensible, and all you had to do was back off by 0.1 seconds to facilitate that, you pushed what was obviously a bad pattern of traffic. The problem here is that you created the problem and you are unwilling to see it, even if it was two lanes you could have easily staggered the flow to allow faster traffic, but it wasn't 'even'. It was actually one lane. Take another look. Now, you may not agree, but let's consider why you might not agree .. because the road was wide enough for two columns of traffic. Oh, OK, so that has become your definition of two lanes,, 'if it is wide enough for two lanes, then it is two lanes', because if you actually look again there are zero road markings up to the roundabout and zero road markings on the roundabout. Maybe you didn't notice? Maybe you didn't look, you just assumed it was two lanes? Like I asked, if I am wrong, please add your yellow arrow showing the lane markings, if you please.

@@thelondondashcam , out of sheer idle curiosity (as you don't seem to have wanted to add those yellow arrows showing it's two lanes) if you click on this link you'll see from google maps that there is no way that is two lanes entering the roundabout; www.google.com/maps/@51.398474,-0.1587127,3a,75y,301.82h,64.84t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sV8J0WROIeRmCCGQwzPHwcA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1?entry=ttu

@@thelondondashcam , you can see the consequence of trying to turn it into two lanes (as you did) in this photo, which you can see the truck has to cross the central line of the (actual) road; www.google.com/maps/@51.3989109,-0.1591098,3a,37.5y,163.3h,80.83t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1scv9c4gAek-axBQ6HlB-Rnw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1?entry=ttu I'm just saying on this occasion you're not right. You usually are. But sometimes you seem to get a grump at other road users when the problem might possibly be you overreacting, and you just have to chill.🙂 Seriously, just go easy on other people with the name calling, none of us is perfect. I think the van actually helped you out, you can see then put their foot down, they could see their exit was clear so rather than slowing you both down by trying to go wide, they just nailed the pedal (for you!) to clear the roundabout earlier. They didn't have to do that (for you) as the traffic was stationary for them ahead. Chill!😎

I guessed it would be a German car, Audi, Merc or BMW🤣
