You cheeky monkey

[@R04drunner1]

LOL Unlikely but funny 😁

[@jamiemac12580]

I remember a clip from years ago by John where he drove on the opposite side of the road to overtake a parked car, making an coming vehicle swerve and almost hit the cerb.... He was still praised as a driving god 😂

[@johnfh]

Thanks Ashley and Jon, I enjoy learning from first-class anticipation and excellent driving instead of all the bad-driving uploads! Weekend greetings from Stockholm.

At 3:27 with the flood water reminds me of all those videos at the Rufford Ford, with vehicles speeding through...and having the engine conk out. Jon was sensible and went through slowly. Its good to try your brakes at the first safe opportunity afterwards.

[@ibs5080]

At around 4:42 where someone is reversing for you, it pays to keep a very respectable distance away for them, so that they don't feel pressured as well as just a basic courtesy for their efforts. And of course a Thank You wave as you pass by.

[@royfontaine5526]

This 100%. Completely pisses me off. Especially when you’re reversing backwards with a view to then pulling forwards into a pull in, if that is easier than reversing in.

[@AndrewDavidson-qu2qs]

Was also going to comment this - it's unpleasant to have a lorry 2 inches from your bumper and it's not going to get them past any quicker (if anything the opposite).

[@user-kj9ke7om5y]

The drivers that get too close in these situations: I have to wonder if they genuinely need some lessons, or are doing it intentionally

[@kgbgb3663]

@@royfontaine5526 I got a nasty scrape on my bodywork on a lane in Cumbria that way. They had forced me past the first place I could have driven forward into by staying a couple of feet from my front bumper. When I got to the second potential passing place I felt forced to back in. I paid the price of forgetting there was likely to be stone just under the visible vegetation, unlike in the the lanes of Surrey that I was used to. I had a car full of elderly relatives, which both reduced visibility and stopped me from getting out and remonstrating with the oaf at the first passing place, as I might have done if it had just been me and my wife. (Naturally, the other driver made no effort to drive forward into the passing place, and stayed dead centre.)

[@MepsiPaxBerri]

If only we had more drivers like Jon! A great example of patience and anticipation.

[@glenn1534]

[@PP-cm4re]

8:57 Even though Jon is the second car behind a potential collision. You can still hear his foot quickly move from the accelerator to the brake in case he needed to stop. Really good awareness.

[@_XRMissie]

Seeing Jon go down that narrow lane at such a reasonable pace is so refreshing. In rural Ireland you have numpties flying down these kinds of roads because they "know" them.

[@Snaily]

Even if you know the road, you don't know where everyone is on it. Far too many deaths are caused by people who forget the second part of that.

[@gorunmain]

Thanks Jon and Ashley.

[@ibs5080]

At around 5:00 on these single track roads, it's always good to note and remember where each passing place was as you pass it.

[@ianmason.]

In Italy I've seen passing places marked with tall poles with a little sign at the top. Makes it much easier to see where the next passing place is in both directions.

Great bunch of clips Ashley. As a country "Bum snot" myself, Jon's driving on narrow lanes was a master class.! Happy new year to you and family as well.

Welcome back Jon, we missed your excellent driving standard!

[@ibs5080]

At around 2:42 a good example of utilizing the view over the hedgerows and across a bend to be able to see if it's clear or not. Jon safely used this to his advantage and make progress past the cyclist.

[@castingshadows282]

Credit where credit is due. If only others could lead by your example Jon, life would be a lot less stressful. Nice driving awareness, and great skill.

[@willp458]

Well done John. Always feels so therapeutic to watch your clips. Don’t think driving standards get much better than yours. Thanks for the video Ash :)

[@cupofcustard]

4:33 can we also give a round of applause for the other driver not being impatient/ignorant and getting up in John's face as hes slowly reversing back. Pet peeve of mine when drivers do that.

[@royfontaine5526]

Not really, he appeared to be too close, unless it’s just how it looks through the camera.

[@ibs5080]

At around 7:11 what a mess that was. Car in front in lane 3 wanting to get all the way across for the exit...and very unsure of itself as to how to do it. And vehicles in the adjacent Lane unwilling to give the errant car a bit of a break. And at one point, it slowed all the way down to 19 mph, on a motorway!

[@Asto508]

Simple rule: If you miss your exit due to poor planning, swallow the pill, take the next one and learn from it. Or don't and repeat it again later.

[@kenbrown2808]

yeah, that was obnoxious of the centre lane owner's club. and imagine if he'd been having mechanical trouble instead of wanting an exit too late. he'd have ended up broken down in the Audi lane.

At 2:55 an excellent example of keeping an open mind and being flexible with the rules when there's really no other option re driving with two wheels up on the pavement. Driving isn't always black and white. There's also a grey area in-between.

[@FistOfFiori]

I have had a passenger ask me once why I was moving out but not overtaking and after explaining about giving room for the broken down vehicle and the possibility of pedestrians being around it the response back was shocking… “Well they should be more careful then shouldn’t they” 🤦‍♂️

[@brucemorris1315]

The mini roundabout is in Midsomer Norton approaching from Radstock road into Station road. The actual road markings have been painted in such a way that most large vehicles have to take John's approach otherwise it becomes too tight and you almost have to double back on yourself.

[@simonwatson2399]

I drove on the pavement in my driving test and passed. It was a situation similar to this except there were pedestrians about too as it was in a town centre.

[@josephmarsh8235]

It's great to see Jon showing some really safe driving! Well done to him. There is though just a couple of things I'd like to ask Ashley, and I'm not being nasty, but was his dash cam GPS accurate? It was reading 72mph and 73mph on some fast roads. Oh, and that clip at 7:56 when he was about 5mph averaging above 20mph was just when a 20 limit appeared, now I don't know the area he was in, nor am I saying he was being dangerous, and he did turn into a road on the right, but some people I think would say he was speeding.

[@Tigermad]

The first clip was 77 and increasing when the video was cut off at the end.

[@matt821]

I was wondering that too. Jon is obviously driving something pretty large, but at 10:22 it's hitting almost 80mph. I wasn't sure whether I was misreading something.

[@feelsgoodman245]

Great to see that John isn’t afraid to “make progress” when motorway conditions allow.

[@jameskole3584]

At 4:31, saw a video on the Life of Darren channel, who's a HGV driver and faced a car driver in a similar situation. The car driver didn't know how to reverse to a wider space and while they did do their best and did eventually manage to reverse to wider section of road, it was painful viewing, for the whole section they looked like they were going to reverse into the bushes! For the purposes of the driving test, the most reversing someone practices while learning is reverse parking into a bay, parralel parking or a turn in the road / 3 point turn, so people aren't used to reversing over longer distances. More confident drivers will manage, but more nervous drivers, or those who are only comfortable driving a few set routes they drive regularly in a set manner get caught out and struggle.

[@susiejones3634]

We love Jon. Jon's ace.

[@ibs5080]

At around 6:32 re "The chevrons don't work". There's a series of those near here on the M2 and the sign "Keep two chevrons apart". Now here's the thing, in dry weather at 70 mph when I'm keeping the recommended minimum two seconds apart, I'm less than two chevrons apart. I'm not sure then if the recommended chevrons apart are for wet weather. I'll have to see next time if I can say ""Only a fool breaks the two second rule" twice.

[@WilliamPightling]

Great video. Jon shows some great skills, well done. 😊

[@GaudyDragon8963]

2:01 This roundabout is in my hometown. The left turn is a 1 way system, and everyone takes the roundabout the wrong way if they are turning right. I have seen some people do a full turn, but people are aware of this and hold back. Only times I see people mess this up is when someone takes a wide turn and the driver behind thinks they are going straight on, which almost causes a side impact

[@ClamityZerv]

The clip at 2:00, I live in this local area and that mini roundabout displays everyones lack of understanding on how roundabouts work. I'm sure the one way exit on John's left throws everyone off. Also, the 3rd exit John takes is nearly impossible to take a better line around the painted roundabout without 1, confusing everyone else (they're not the smartest around here) and 2, making the turn in one fluid movement.

[@goodyeoman4534]

Similar set up near me but a larger roundabout on a bypass. If you get in the lane to go straight on, everyone thinks you're turning left and they just pull out in front of you.

[@paul756uk2]

Ha, I just posted a similar comment on that exit on that roundabout.

Great examples of how to drive and make it safe for everyone. If only everyone was as capable . We can but dream. Excellent driving by Jon to say the least.

[@smilerbob]

Despite getting -angry- annoyed with the antics of the driver at 7:01, a perfect example of releasing those emotions _inside_ your own vehicle and not interacting with the other driver. That could easily escalate if you do Idiotic manoeuvre from the driver in front and the only thing I can think is they were blissfully unaware of where they were until the Sat Nag said “In 1.5 miles, take the exit…”, the most common scenario for that

At around 6:21 great cooperation from the oncoming car to also stop to let the errant car from the left to emerge and hence not keep Jon waiting whilst his path is blocked. And yes I feel the sun could have contributed. After all this was Dec 2nd of this year, when the winter sun can be low. Look how long the shadow of Jon's van is and no doubt the sun would be rather blinding in his mirrors. All a big clue that road users in front of you will have a visual challenge

[@kenbrown2808]

[@TheByard]

It's called Roadcraft and/or Defensive Driving. The roundabout was a great example. How many clips are sent in of roundabouts being used as a overtake point, yet not the dual carriageway before. Yet in Vietnam roundabouts are used in single file by everything from a scooter to treble axle artics. The outer lanes are not used and so are inches deep in stones and dust. On the straight aways it's scooter right lane other vehicles to the next two lanes and that's just on an industrial estate.

[@markvarley4557]

12:00 I was once first to come across a horse and rider that had been hit on a single-track road, I often encountered vehicles driving way too fast on that road, the vehicle in question did not stop, it was a very unpleasant thing to encounter, the rider was badly hurt but survived, the horse was badly hurt but was put-down on-site later. Horses are not like bicycles, they need all the patience and space you can give them, I hope horse riders see a lot of patience and consideration from motor vehicle drivers, but I suspect not. (In this clip though I wonder how much the approaching vehicles could see on that bend, that Audi probably stopped in a good place for approaching vehicles to see them long before they'd see the horse and rider). Thanks Ansly and John 👍👍

[@Rroff2]

Didn't help the blue BMW seemed to be tail gating the truck which probably meant the truck driver wasn't driving how they would normally and delayed in adjusting their speed due to having the closeness of the vehicle behind on their mind.

First clip - NEVER EVER move left when close to or passing a junction!! If I recall correctly France has a restriction to prevent vehicles moving right in these areas. UK should have the road markings revised to white double lines splitting the lanes, the longer hazard markings to the left and solid lines to the right.

That last clip of 6 drivers taking their turn was dreamy!

the mini roundabout: it looks like it is a box van John is driving, i would personally still try to go round the roundabout in my van (which is a ford transit L2H2 Medium Wheel Base) and be cautious of the other vehicle emerging badly as it is a must go round the markings but there is an exemption if its a large vehicle that physically cant do it, i dont think the box van was large enough not to do it. @6:11, approaching a junction like that i would be watching the front wheel of the car and the crossing and whats behind other vehicles. that wheel should be stopped on the car waiting to emerge. if i see any movement on it then i know i have not been seen and would slow in anticipation and be ready to let the car out to fix the problem as some drivers will by accident or deliberately just force there way out and no point getting my vehicle dammaged over it, as page 42 says, give way to avoid an incident.

[@ConfusedRaccoon]

[@bikerjock2654]

Driving up the M1 from J11a to J14 today, there were 2 accidents (one southbound and one northbound) causing delays and speed restrictions (40 mph limit for quite a stretch, although the flow was about 30 or less). Yet I witnessed some horrendously dangerous driving. One goods lorry tailgating cars, flashing his lights at them, and switching lanes into barely big enough gaps, all to go 2mph faster than the traffic flow. Then a car came hurtling by, swerving across all lanes through gaps that allowed no margin for error, overtaking and undertaking. Complete selfish madness by both drivers, along with several other examples of poor and selfish driving. I found it all quite depressing, so it was good to see this video and someone driving with the opposite mindset.

[@Life_Through_The_Camera_Lens]

The HGV should have stopped further back to prevent blocking the road. Jon is excellent with his driving.

[@douglasreid699]

if its the HGV at the temp traffic light, if they dont go forward they risk not setting the sensor off to activate the traffic light and they also risk impatient drivers not seeing the bigger picture and start to overtake to squeeze into the space left by the lorry holding back. it could also be the lorry was following traffic through on a green light and the light changed and they did the best they could to not go through on red. its simple to say they should have but you canny should have done something, you either have or have not. setting the sensor off: i personally have had a situation where the waiting area for the light was on a bend because of a wide junction to the left for a temp traffic light, i was stopped behind the sign for stop here but it didnt set the light sensor off because i was too far back. this was on a 2 way set of temp traffic lights that were set to return to red when no motion. i would be sat there all day if i didnt move forward to set the sensor off. unless they are going to put a sign up saying sensor activated lights or timed constant lights for the temporary lights, you need to get close enough to activate the sensor.

Woah, Jon was speeding in the first clip 😱😱😱

[@thomascollier4678]

The miniature roundabout at 2:00, I use very often and that approach while technically incorrect is actually the default, everyone does it and it works, mostly because the road to the left is one way and therefore the roundabout functions more like a T junction where everyone gives way to the right. I appreciate of course this is just the locals, and really is born of laziness, certainly confusing to those unfamiliar with the road or simply wanting to take the roundabout properly.

[@marcelleking8821]

John was speeding far too often. 27mph in a 20mph zone, 79mph on a motorway and on it went even though his hazard perception was excellent.

[@almightyhydra]

Meh. Speed limits are a mere approximation of a safe speed anyway. Provided you're not going unreasonably fast, mild speeding on a motorway is nothing. Those cars wandering between lanes (drunk?) are much more dangerous. 27 in a 20 could go either way. If it used to be a 30 limit and was reduced solely because of Labour government ideology (we've also been blessed with that in NZ, though thankfully the new government plan to undo the unnecessary changes next year), then I've every sympathy. Whereas 27 in a school zone during school pickup/dropoff hours is absolutely unacceptable.

​@@almightyhydragreat common sense comment. Something that is lacking on this channel. As I always say, rules are for obedience of fools but the guidance of the wise.

9:15 Very highly likely a width restricted lane as it is in and around the vicinity of roadworks.

6:20 I notice the Astra that pulled out into traffic had a replacement nose, maybe not completely the sun at fault.

[@Kieran.Robertson]

Can’t blame the sun anyway, I’m sure Ashley faces against the sun just like all of us and although he can never be flawless I’m sure he does just fine with it so it can’t be used as an excuse

i know that area 6:10 - crouch end in London, that junction, with the zebra next to it, is surprisingly awkward if youre coming out from the side road.

Jon is a good driver .. be like Jon please!

6:28 The chevrons do work for me and Jon. That keeps us safe and that is the important part for any driver who wants to participate in the scheme.

My dad always used to say asxwell to look out for a second blue light after first one went past!! I was going to commemt about moving back into lane 1 on two occasions but it seemed so petty compared to the high standard of looking far, far, ahead to assess conditions.

and conversely, emergency drivers will warn of being the second emergency driver as much more dangerous because of all the people who will barge out behind the first, without looking out for a second.

with that white vauxhall emerging badly at 6:14, i'd hazard to guess they've done something similar before and come a cropper as the front bumper has clearly been replaced with one from a breakers yard..
