Americans React To British Drivers Swearing | Loners

[@phaid1]

I’m Scottish. It’s not swearing, it’s punctuation. 😁

[@Devonshirejackdaw]

No it's not swearing it's telling the other person they've done something wrong lol

[@Isleofskye]

@@Devonshirejackdaw Absolutely,Lauren. If I am not called a xxxx every few days,I wonder what I'm doing wrong and wear it as a badge of honour in London though it was a bit rich the other day when I pulled out alongside this older Woman who blocked the near lane so she could turn right into my High Street and a van load of lads finally got past her and called me a xxxx while saying nothing to her and the same happened recently on a tight side road , where this Lady would not push back leaving me ,at the back,of our queue of cars just blocking the cars in the other direction and again they took their annoyance and frustration on me. Good Game:)

[@janihaavisto79]

F'n Bell End is the absolute best British saying in my opinion. And it's something that some Americans don't know i guess. I'm Finnish and i love English swear words. 😂

Swearing in Britain is our form of stress relief.

[@danielkarlsson258]

Hearing British drivers feels so healthy. It feels like they are more annoyed and frustrated than truly angry. Love it. Thanks for the upload!

[@jeremyatkinson4976]

Statistically UK roads are far safer than USA roads per mile.

[@mattsmith5421]

Im honestly shocked it took until the second to last clip before we heard bell end

[@stewedfishproductions7959]

Listen again... there was more than one 'bell end' mentioned ! 😎

​@@stewedfishproductions7959No there wasn't

[@catherinecorless33]

It's not 'shit in hell'; it's 'shitting hell' as a substitute for 'fucking hell'. Reminds me of the daily school run which I no longer have to do, thank God. My son would always tell me off for getting so angry with all the 'bloody idiots' on the road. Had to moderate my swearing a bit when he was young. As he got older my swearing got a lot worse! 😂

I love the fact that we can put the word 'fucking' into the middle of the word 'unbelievable' to make a totally understandable and expressive utterance. How many other languages can be so flexible?

[@vincemorgan6730]

haha I like you guys , and yeah I am a Canadian but being in a car with my old nan driving super fast in England was pretty wild.

[@rubberyowen1469]

I have been driving in Britain for 47 yrs and you learn when driving here is that, the word of the wise is, be prepared for surprises. Always, always expect a tosser wherever you may be on our roads. Worst drivers? BMWs Audis and van drivers. They own the roads or believe they do. Great vid as usual but I see it for real every day. Yes I have often used all of the words in the video the same as millions of others over here. Take Care in America. 👍

[@stevekenilworth]

Range Rovers ive found to be the worst, well they the only ones what run me of the road, 3rd one may not be so lucky tho i just make sure im stopped then they hit me i won't swerve off the road again, bmw and audi they more annoying from my experience and defensive driving you know there next move most the time, bmw all did reverse back only one try to stand ground but engine off roll a smoke they soon realized i got a lot time they back up but only one try so far to stand ground but at end all reversed, its only the range rovers in my experience they want to hurt you, much worse than be annoying

[@rubberyowen1469]

@@stevekenilworth Always have a dash-cam fitted so you can have it on video that they reversed into you. Take Care.

[@Isleofskye]

Been driving for 43 years mostly in and around London so plenty of fun:) Some of these drivers seem poor at anticipation though because, for example, if the car in front of you is behind a Tractor, you have to expect them to pull out even if they don't give that impression. If I am moving into the middle lane on a Motorway,I make sure that the guy in the furthest lane is not,also, simultaneously, wanting to do the same thing. Luckily I DO "stereotype" and it has saved me on many occasions to assume the worst. lol

[@scyphe]

I'm surprised there wasn't even a single "f'in muppet".

[@jasonjukes6899]

Some people here in the UK drive like idiots, rushing around, most are considerate and give way to others to help the traffic flow, then return that kindness to others - and/or pay it forward in my decades of experience

[@MazzaEliLi7406]

Yup.

[@nottmfunguy]

Swearing good is a British art form.

[@StephMcAlea]

I used to shout "bell end!" but I'm much calmer now and just make a muted comment for the recording like "looks like someone chose violence today" or "Oh. Someone wants to die."

[@Pengi_SMILES]

In general UK drivers are pretty good but there are loads of idiots on the road and our roads (particularly in towns) are NARROW so lots of scope for problems.

[@meinm3575]

How can you be *so* confident that all other traffic will adjust to you ! Jee

[@vincemorgan6730]

they have roundabouts everywhere. It means instead of a light, you go around in a circle and then merge.

[@Sunshine123x]

Standard for us in the UK swearing behind the wheel .😂

[@thebobsful]

Statistically, the British are the safest drivers in the world. THIS is how we react when other drivers break the rules. The shock is obvious. Most drivers are really good.

[@millyjames7891]

The British roads are far more compact than American ones for obvious historical reasons. In fact, we're ostensibly better drivers because of this. But for smooth operation, a touch of reasonableness is required. A perfect example is outside the the Spaniards Inn on the Finchley/Hampstead route. A busy two way road squeezes into a one way lane between listed buildings. Everyone stops and lets a few past before they take the initiative and push through themselves. No lights or any form of traffic control whatsoever.

[@MazzaEliLi7406]

Custom & practice & common courtesy - & woe betide anyone who forgets!

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

What amazed me most is that I never once heard the classic British "bloody" added to it. However, the sound quality sometimes left something to be desired...

[@ramadamming8498]

He was going well too fast down a country lane. Country lanes are everywhere that narrow and the rule is, don't drive at 30mph down them, he had to get out of the way as he was going to fast and could not stop and went up the bank and into the car that was going SLOW. You meet another car and one reverses back to a passing layby. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGaXgqF-jZ6KmtE

[@Tom-ed-w]

This is common in the UK because 90 year olds with no eyes still get to keep licenses! -.- it baffles me, my friend is a fireman, and he said 90% of his calls are old people that forget how to drive. One old man said i forgot to check if a car was coming. -.- So i guess most of these are old old old.

[@paidwitness797]

Re closing comments, while we do have stop signs in the UK they are pretty uncommon, more likely to have a 'give way' sign (means your supposed to slow down, and check the road is clear before joining it) and at roundabouts we give way to the right, so check its clear and merge if safe. In both circumstances if its not safe to merge your supposed to stop and wait, but the overall idea is to keep traffic flowing. Obviously the system only works if people drive as they are supposed to and actually use their mirrors and look around before moving (or stopping), it mostly works, but there are always a few who are idiots, the young and 'immortal', the clueless or the kinda terrified with tunnel vision fixed on the end of their bonnets and a death grip on the steering wheel, basically the same as everywhere else and the rest of us have to work around them.

[@phoenix-xu9xj]

Yes we swear. A lot. But we don’t shoot each other or get shot by Police.

[@graeker4286]

"Bell end" is one of the my favourites xD

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

I used to cycle to work in central london, after watching way too many of these videos I gave it up after realising just how many useless idiots I was sharing the roads with

[@Fallopia5150]

Because we drive faster on narrower roads, our driving test is MUCH harder than the one in the U.S.

[@seanbarker4610]

The on and off lanes are clearly marked, and merging signs are often on the road surface as well as on the signs of the road, the clue to whether you can change lanes are the lines between the lanes. An broken line between lanes means you are allowed to swap lanes an unbroken line means you can't.

[@jeffknott1975]

We don't have guns so we use words instead!

[@darrellpowell6042]

The rise of Sat nav's has made more people watch the directional map, than the road. This happens in most countries now. Also some UK delivery drivers on contract with Amazon, are speeding to each delivery and causing near misses when getting back on main roads. Some trade people also rush from job to job and are dangerous too. The mornings rush hours from 6am to 8am usually has drivers that are late to work and they will over take in dangerous places to catch up their time. The rise of in car CCTV has happened due to accidents and drivers maybe can't remember what happened after an accident, so its a valuable tool for the police to check who was right and who caused the accident. Its better to have a camera than rely on memory to save your ass from being fined, have licence points and or jailed.

[@oopsdidItypethatoutloud]

Some are people trying crash for cash. Slam the breaks on and try to get the other car to hit you in the back as they are usually held responsible unless you have a cam

At the intersections, we don't have to stop, but we must give way to traffic already on the road we are merging in to. Driving standards are getting worse in the UK.

[@AJComputerServicesUK]

I was always taught to have my wits about me when driving and a lot of Dashcam footage I see would not even be an issue if some people just backed off a bit and didn't rush headlong in, Some Drivers have no patience whatsoever, I have some footage that I've uploaded to my Channel and my other channel: AJ's Dashcam UK, Some of My Clips have even been aired on one of our National TV Stations TV shows, Motorway Cops: Catching Britain's Speeders, Good Video and good reaction, We definitely see stuff like that all too often over here! unfortunately!

[@paulbriggs5238]

We have more give way junctions than stop, obviously a lot of these bell ends don't look before they merge but it works well most of the time, along with round about. You have to plan for idiots and have the necessary insults backed up. Great reaction 🙂🇬🇧 we do enjoy a good swear

[@meinm3575]

It seems healthy. Like, you get so much out of you.

It's the emphasis on a word ^^

[@eld0ntyr3ll]

yeah that's what happens when you drive on the wrong side of the road. jokes aside, that barely avoided head to head collision on the small country side road was not someone going the wrong way as Brian assumed, it's just roads that are both ways but have space for only one-ish car, something an American cannot possibly conceive i agree. You're supposed to be extra careful and drive slowly, which locals knowing the road will never do. Happened to me countless times in rural france and other european places. And yeah when that happens, you're supposed to back up to a point where both cars can cross, no swearing allowed. Now a fairly large number of those incidents are actually shared responsibility, like for example that motorbike jumping full throttle from behind a stopped van and getting crossed from a car crossing in front of the van, he should have known a car could have come from there and not being able to see him at all, total biker pr*ck.

Can I state for the record that these are just the videos that made it past the censors. Personally, I’m very happy to have not uploaded any dashcam videos because they would be one long bleep. I am a mild mannered, nice person who will rescue small birds etc. Pull out in front of me and I will question your life choices, your parents, your ability to procreate with anything other than your hand, your ability to breathe correctly, and whether you should just find an interesting way to remove yourself from the gene pool. Thing is I don’t half feel better afterwards, and I’m not driving angry because I’m too busy laughing at you now.

[@Outnumberedbykidsandcats]

On the whole, no we don’t all drive like that. There will always be bellends wherever you go, bur our roads are some of the safest in the world. You’re watching a compilation of sweating so it’s always going to be all bad driving.
