The scooter looks like a privately owned one not a hired one, so it shouldn’t even be on the road!

As a driving instructor perhaps you can answer a question I have about instructors and students. In the area I live I have noticed instructors advising their students to pull up and park on the offside kerb facing oncoming traffic then pulling off again when clear. I have also noticed instuctors allowing the student to drive a short way on the wrong side when clearing some driveway entrances. I was never shown this during my lessons which I have to admit were some 50 years ago. Is this now part of the usual instructions and tests.

Question - What takes priority, the markings on the road or the road signs?

Good informative stuff however in the case of the dog I don't think that was the owners car. It may well be that, when it showed interest, someone opened the door so they could take it somewhere safe.

I didn't even need you to tell me that roundabout's name this time... Hello, Rosehill! (I've watched too many of Tony's videos... One day he'll wave to you in passing there!)

I had to laugh at the parking, it's so bad up here I've joined them

I'm just going to wait for the comments saying "Duh, well pedestrians can cross where and when they want cos the HC says so!!" Wrong again because they have a responsibility to other road users to ensure their OWN SAFETY and be aware of other road users......

9.55. Yet another Vehicle with no front Registration Plate. Seeing this more & more recently.

Too many impatient or show off idiots on the road, when there's a Learner in front just think to yourself "that used to be me and I was nervous".

3:06. I feel that you should have been closer behind the silver car to close that gap. Oncoming might not expect a vehicle suddenly appearing between cars. I notice that the learner driver did not proceed, probably following his instructors guidance.

12:07. The right indicator on until the last moment is a modern motoring menace. Stop it !! RAB indication is quite clear in the HC.

8:51. Not unexpected and not really an issue. It's a busy High Street with the inevitable hold ups. ' After you, no after you' etc.

1:50 Impatience Central.

I like to play a game when I'm driving called "Brakes cost petrol". I try to drive in a way that means I don't have to use my brakes as much. Those are revs and momentum that I have to shed, throw away. These licenced drivers also seem to drive not using their brakes but not the way I do it.

It seems to me that "social contagion" is really a thing! You only have to look nowadays just how many people don't indicate, no forward planning, ignore red lights completely, mirror signal etc., drive like idiots and so on. These "trends" seem to escalate really quickly and they spread even quicker among certain groups of drivers that are also struggling with delusions of grandeur, driving a German car or a Range Rover (an Indian car) doesn't make you special. As I've said many times before a lack of policing on our roads also adds to the problem, there's no one telling people they're wrong and issuing fines or points. The police now rely on the public and their dashcams for evidence of wrongdoing so the police can cut costs even more. We, the people in my Cotswold village, asked for a copper with a speed gun to stop people doing 50mph plus on a straight section of 30mph road. We were told there was no one available but we could go to Gloucester and be trained in the use of a police radar gun, report our findings, and the police would issue a letter saying "very naughty". This is a reason drivers do what they want on our roads.

You made me laugh at 7:38 with the attitude of that Merc "right up our ar... backside" 🤣🤣 And well done to you and your learner, not allowing the Jag to push in. Hopefully it will give your learner more confidence and not to give in to these "bullies" 😊👍

This is why Car Insurance keeps on sky rocketing! I've not been out in my car, too much snow and ice.

When the Toymotor Prius pulled in behind you, before the Rosehill Roundabout clip where you mentioned Tony of the London Dash Cam, I immediately thought of Sadiq Khans Assassins and heard the 007 theme in my head

Kudos to the learner for not letting the Jag push in, though realistically he/she would be safer with the NUMPTY in front

I keep saying this but I wish we could go back to policing from when I was a kid. In the 80s I'd see a copper somewhere at least a couple of times a week and we always saw one at Chichester cattle market where us yoofs used to meet up in our beat up Cortinas and Capris. The police would give us advice and sometimes a warning if we were doing something daft but this was proper community policing. I remember making a front spoiler out of galvanised sheet metal and it was more of a snow plough type thing with sharp pointy bits everywhere but I didn't get a ticket from the coppers I got a laugh and a friendly warning to get home and remove it. I'm lucky if I see one copper a year nowadays and that's normally when they're setting up speed traps. They don't even turn up for theft/break ins now, you report it, get a crime number, and never see the police. Shameful really!

While I don’t agree with passing in a dangerous manner, I have to take issue with your “there was no reason to pass” comment, you have no idea how long the journey is that the motorist is undertaking? I have a two hour commute if I didn’t pass people that are hesitant, that are driving below the speed limit, or are just not making appropriate progress (and that includes most learner drivers) my journey would take an extra 20 mins. And FYI I was a motorcycle instructor and a driving instructor in my youth so I understand the behaviour, however your only time pressure is your next lesson slot and your route can be varied accordingly, other people may have more pressing issues to deal with.

I'm not a Learner I get this done to me all the time, apparently because I'm in a Ford Fiesta! They could stamp out abusing learner cars like this, they could disguise unmarked Police cars as Learner cars. That would be a lovely surprise for them when they do that, suddenly there's lights and sirens!

Happy New Year. Let's hope this year the average drivers learn some consideration with your students.

I've been driving for 55 years and I'm not sure it is only the Learner most people can't stand to be behind. I drive the speed limit, and most people go flying past me. Everyone is in a huge hurry these days and the lack of police patrolling the roads gives them the confidence to speed with no consequences. I know things are a bit different here in the USA, but crap driving seems to be universal!

I have noticed that a lot of people with "auto" lights rely on them in the fog and most of them only put the front lights on, they don't put the rear lights on. There were loads of people on Fish Hill, going towards Evesham, that had front lights on but no rear lights and visibility was down to 20-30 yards and I won't mention the amount of people that had headlight or rear bulbs not working. Check your lights people and stop relying on the auto feature!!

My 3 kids are all at that learning to drive age and some of the stuff we see drivers doing to learners is madness. We had an Audi try and undertake on a roundabout a few weeks ago, single lane entrance and exit, but they thought they could get one car in front just to sit in traffic. These big luxury cars have got cheaper and cheaper at auction and people drive like idiots, a kind of mist descends when they see L plates and people HAVE to get in front even in traffic, crazy!!

Is it now OK to go over mini roundabouts?

Merry Christmas, I think it's getting worse. I was following a Learner on the main road 60 MPH and obviously not ready to at that speed and I got a mini tailgating me, so I did my thing* it barged past and immediately tailgated the Learner, who started to get a bit wobbly anybody could see they were unsettled by it. * I never say what my "things" are for dealing with tailgaters, I wouldn't want inexperienced drivers trying it and getting rear ended.

6:54 car following bus so close probable couldn't even see the lights

merry christmas from ponders end mr

Thanks for another interesting upload, you help us see the traffic through the eyes of a learner. Good to see some responsible cyclists at 02:50, wish there more more of them! At 05:00 the motorcyclist would be called a "20-seconder" on another channel, because that's how long he will last! All the best for Christmas and the new year from Stockholm.

I find it incredible that in almost 2025 people still put their lives in other peoples hands by doing stupid things when they drive. Running red lights, lane hogging, stopping in live motorway lanes because you don't want to queue with the common people, brake checking, not indicating, ignoring roundabout rules, not staying in lane, using your mobile and a hundred other things. Take personal responsibility for your own safety when you're on the roads, that's what I've taught my kids, think for yourselves and keep yourself safe by not doing the illegal stuff. Better 20 minutes late than 50 years early for your own funeral!!

There seems to be a lot of takeaways and nail bars in Sutton.

i am 52 and have been driving for 30 years..i have seen a steady decline in road safety and people are getting worse..i am seriously considering packing it in once my present car becomes end of life.

Why does a dual carriage way have a 20 mph speed limit!!

You forgot the apostrophe in Devils.

At 5:16 the small car went completely the wrong side of the mini roundabout. That would get me cussing.

wtf? why did youtube show me this?

Why some of those roads shown have 20mph limits just beggars belief. A dual carriageway with a 20mph limit?! Before these daft limits came in, the desire the some drivers to have to overtake was far less as everyone else was driving at a more sensible speed. if you're not capable of driving a car safely at over 20mph on these types of road then you shouldn't be driving, and certainly not a position to set speed limit policies. One thing I do disagree with you on one of the clips was the Volvo driver not stopping for the kids stood on the pavement. it was far safer for the Volvo to carry on up to the give-way line and then the kids could have crossed safely behind the Volvo. I'm sure the kids were waiting for the Volvo to pass anyway, and they were stood well back from from junction. We're not even sure the kids were wanting to cross anyway, they might have just been having a chat on the pavement. This is far safer than the Volvo stopping to force the kids to cross in front of them, and this might make the kids rush and not check clearly if the other side was clear. The safest thing to do is clear out of the way of people who may want to cross so they can do it on a clear road. The rest of the Volvo's driving after that point was pretty grim though.

It's getting worse, last Thursday I went to Galashiels for some Christmas Shopping and I caught up with this huge pick up with a digger strapped on, it was struggling to get through so I kept a good gap, had this car behind practically pushing me, it did actually slightly bump me. I gave up in the end and pulled into the left and let it go.

What happened to Mirror, Signal, Manoeuvre. Drivers seem to forget this having passed their test

Impatience and that sense of entitlement is a disaster for us sensible drivers and for learners.

A lot of this chaos on our roads is what happens when you let 10 million illegal immigrants into the country and allow them to become Uber drivers or drive on a foreign licence. My GF has a full licence from the Philippines and I wouldn't let her near a bicycle let alone a car!!!!!

I was driving home last night doing the speed limit (60mph) on a straight piece of road and keeping up with traffic leaving a decent gap for breaking when a bloody Range Rover pulls out of a side road on to the main road I was on, they saw me in my 2 ton big white car with it's lights on but went anyway. I had to slam my brakes on going from 60 to 20 very quickly and I flashed my lights, no horn beeping though, and the driver started brake checking and then drove at 35 for the next 4 miles before stopping at temp lights. I had maintained a good braking distance and had made no threats at all but they still got out and asked me what MY problem was so I explained pulling out at someone doing 60mph is the quickest way to meet your maker. The old boy went from old boy to mental in 3 seconds and cussed like a trooper so I suggested he get back in his car and drive off before things got very out of hand, he did!! Crazy people everywhere......

This cutting corners, it's so they don't have to slow down. When we make a right turn it's a right angle turn, there's a limit to how fast you can do it, for pure laziness and selfishness they just cut the corner off, I've met them completely on my side of the road.

Do you ever report these other drivers?

My driving style has changed as I've got older. When I was younger, mid 1980s, it was big flash cars driven hard and after having kids, early 2000s, it was safe euro boxes that were cheap to run. Now the kids have gone and I'm mid 50s it's more mid range luxury for me and I tend to rush about a lot less, not at all in fact, although I do get fed up doing 40mph on a 60mph road stuck behind someone who should have stopped driving when they hit 93 years old🤣🤣 Despite my annoyance though I wouldn't overtake unless I had plenty of room and it was safe to do so but if I arrive somewhere a few minutes late it is what it is.

Double-parking on a busy road, very common these days. Just turn on your "invisibility" (aka "park anywhere") lights and problem solved.

I never blame the learner driver but the idiot in the passenger seat!!!
