That person who tried to ram the driver going 50mph in a 50mph zone with a lorry needs to lose his licence. Using a 30+ ton lorry as a weapon because you want to speed is attempted murder to me.

Woman in the red car is a danger. When you make and clear and obvious error and don't know that you were the root cause then you will eventually make the same error again. We all make mistakes when driving but if you just say sorry and think about what you could have done differently then you will become a better driver.

@@jonnyrubs not keeping up with the flow of traffic is a minor fault on driving tests, so a car driver doing 50mph or less on a free flowing motorway or dual carriageways (70mph) causes problems for other road users and is dangerous.

@@jonnyrubs The lorry driver throws a tantrum because the cars in lane 2 have also slowed to around 50 - 55 mph so he would probably have to wait 30 seconds until he got the chance to pull out.

The lorry one at #11 needs passing on to the employer. They don't want drivers like that tarnishing their reputation, and the way that HGV fleet insurance and employee incentives work the transport manager won't want the risk to his bonus either. I'd say pass it to the police too: no-one should be driving anything like that, but when it's a lorry of that size they are risking lives.

[@Orion3T]

They didn't change their mind, they were indicating right from the start. When they saw the oncoming car about to hit them they suddenly steered left presumably in an attempt to avoid. Should definitely have stopped either way, this seems like a 'miss and run' situation.

to be fair, you can report incidents you see in a youtube video to police for investigation. If it was already reported, you can also find out the result via a freedom of information request to the police.

[@seraphina985]

@@mentaljason Having said that this video was published over 6 months after the date on the footage itself. For most summary offences the information needs to be laid before the magistrates court within 6 months to pursue a prosecution. This includes offences such as careless and dangerous driving so probably would be a waste of time trying to report it after it was already too late to prosecute.

[@taxidude]

The learner in the left hand lane was quite correct. It was the 'experienced' driver who was in the wrong. It is down to her to make sure the road is clear!

[@sillybait1329]

100% correct, you should never turn across the front of traffic unless instructed by an officer or by sign's/ road markings, it really stupid, downright lazy and dangerous to turn in front of traffic when you can't see what's coming, I was taught this many years ago and it's amazing how many lazy, stupid and dangerous driver's do this all the time with no regards for anyone else on the roads

[@Orion3T]

An argument could be made and is implied by Ashley that they could have been going a bit slower as this was quite a foreseeable event. But of course the red car should have emerged more slowly or not at all depending what she could see. And definitely shouldn't be blaming the learner.

Good selection of clips Ashley, these videos are way better with your commentary than those KZbin channels without. Clip 11 though is absolutely disgusting. I can see the HGV driver wanting to overtake but constantly being blocked by passing vehicles, but what followed was shocking, couldn't believe it, had to watch it twice.

[@74HC138]

I cycle commute on some fairly quiet roads...yet at least a couple of times a week (sometimes a couple of times in a journey) a car will overtake me into the face of the ONLY oncoming vehicle for miles, forcing the oncoming driver to come to a near stand. I don't know whether it's impatience to save literally 2 to 3 seconds, or the overtaking driver is simply on autopilot and doesn't even register the oncoming vehicle.

[@Dominate955]

I'm suprised by the amount of people who missed the 50 signs, where the lorry driver was driving dangerously

[@pcr8918]

4:50 . Thanks to Ashley for pointing out the 50 limit. It appears from the comments (and my own view) that the majority had automatically presumed 70. We live and learn - slowly.

[@a1white]

I’ve been a cyclist in the position of the learner on clip 3 (except I was in a bus/cycle lane). I couldn’t stop in time, as he pulled directly in front of me, and went over the back of the car turning right across the front of me. The driver was adamant it was my fault (as were a couple of drunks who emerged from a betting shop on the corner!), with comments such as “cyclists should give way to cars”” and “You jump red lights anyway” (the collision had nothing to do with traffic lights). He drove off, with the scratch my bike had left in the back of Merc. Thankfully a couple of helpful pedestrians came to my assistance who had witnessed it. I needed a new fork for my bike, but it probably cost less than the bodywork repair his Merc needed.

[@mjudec]

You're right at 07:17. I once got angry at a guy doing a bad emerge and tooted horn, shouted. He said "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I didn't realise cars could come that way" and we calmed down immediately. Then I felt like an a**ehole all day (and when I think back on it) because actually if I'm being honest I could see it happening and should've just slowed and held back. He was wrong, but so was I and my reaction made it worse. Now I think ahead and think about how I can help minimise the problems other peoples' mistakes cause. Because one day it'll be my mistake. Your channel has been good for that.

Clip 11. This sort of thing happens to me a lot when I'm travelling at the maximum speed limit, 20, 30, 50 and so on. I've always got someone tailgating pushing me to speed. I have a black box too. I don't mind if they overtake, but most drivers don't do it very well, do it at the wrong time or at bends. I always think I might die on every road trip I take.

[@crazyt1483]

The other day I was in my car at a roundabout and because I didn’t set off at the start of the gap (due to not knowing if the car to my right was taking the 1st exit) the lorry driver thought it was appropriate to lay on the horn. This made abandon the set off I was doing, wait about 2 seconds then start the takeoff again

The highway code advises against U-turning on mini roundabouts; they forgot to tell our local council though and we have "warning U-turning traffic" signs on the approach to some of ours as there's no reasonable alternative.

Today I drove from Plymouth to London. Most of the journey was in heavy to torrential rain. Absolutely appalling conditions. Unfortunately there was an awful lot of appalling driving going on too. SO MANY people driving like it was a dry summer's day, i.e. no apparent allowance for the conditions, no fear of the danger of aquaplaning, no regard for extra stopping distance. There was some good stuff too, like a line of about 10 of us doing 40mph in lane 1 of the A38 for a good number of miles during a very heavy downpour, but some of the bad stuff I saw was truly frightening. So many driving fails, but unfortunately no camera in the car.

[@keith6400]

4:33 When you approach a complex multi-lane situation like this it's odds on someone is going to be in the wrong lane due to a lack of geographical knowledge. It is not a place to be passing anyone.

I'm quite familiar with section of motorway in Clip#10 ( 4:09 ) and its quite a frequent occurance that there are total 'chancers' leaving their lane change in to the slip-lane at J3A from the M74 far too late. It often boils down to just basic impatience.

[@zaink7037]

I don't understand how people do this. What if a car was blocking them from going on the slip road?

[@michaelhope8899]

Clip 11 is the stuff of nightmares. Complaint to the DVLA and the company they were driving for; some sort of investigation by both, too. Well done to the cammer for sending it in

[@GodmanchesterGoblin]

My take... This may not be a popular view, but I think that quite a few of these clips highlight a need for some form of license renewal via testing. Maybe once every 10 years with a 12 month window in which to pass before your license is revoked. (I'd like to say every 5 years, but that might create too many logistics issues).

As a HGV driver it's clear to see the good and the bad in our profession ( clip 11 & clip 15 ) . Interested that most of the comments ( and rightly so ) focus on the poor driving of clip 11 rather than the correct approach of clip 15 .

Top tip to counter bully HGV drivers.

It never stops surprising me how people can make a mistake on the road then blame the other person and actually believes it. That red car cutting off the learner really triggered me

Wasn't the driver in clip 5 in the wrong to start with by being in the wrong lane!

[@kagomiko3134]

Its so funny, for what kind of distance you say "tailgating". In my country you just simply get used to people being too near to you all of the time. 1 car long distance doesnt even count as tailgating here :)) Here people get 0.5meters behind you in 40km/h too.

5:36 I hope somebody got in touch with the company who operates that artic because driving like that is super dangerous. Why couldn't they drive like the tipper driver who overtook them and then signalled and gave plenty of room before moving back in to lane 1?

Why is the motorcyclist revving his engine constantly? I do it once at the lights sometimes to make sure my engine is on after it goes dead quiet after the 100db+ of wind noise.

#Clip 6 (the lorry clipping the car on the roundabout) I had this happen to me in exactly the same way, but my insurance company said that I was at fault as (according to them) no other vehicle should be on a roundabout at the same time as a HGV. I fought their decision and still lost. Insurance rip-off at its best.

#8 - Apparently cars ending up going the wrong way on the autobahn (German version of a motorway) was common enough at some point that they coined a name for it in the 70s: "geisterfahrer". It literally means "ghost driver", although it is often translated to English as "wrong-way driver". It echos the idea of a "ghost ship", but also the idea that you can't see them easily (like a ghost) but also because that's what the driver of the car is likely to end up as. #16 - Was the avoiding action between the cars who didn't emerge worthy of a "nice driving" example?

Clip2 - for anyone used to driving in Scandinavia, this is nothing, perfectly normal. :-)

[@paulmiller258]

Yes Ashley but it said 50 the car was in the 2nd lane now sometimes hgv s are only allowed to use the first 2lanes not 3 as a normal motorway I don’t know if this is the case but if so why doesn’t the car move over to the first lane if it wanted to go slower ref Highway Code thankyou for replying ps nervous drivers cause accidents and seem to get away leaving a smash seen it many a time I wish people would drive trucks they would change their minds people who I trained up have said so thanks again your vids are good

6:45 He's driving a Peugeot. Clarkson would be having a field day with that clip :)

A question: Should the general driving test be more substantive and longer in duration, and what do you think of simply doing away with the current test as it stands, and replacing it with the I.A.M. test instead. If the driving test standard was (had been) set at a higher bar (in the last and even now), then I suggest we'd have far less problems. Consider the standard of training pilots must have to fly an aircraft, should we not seek to attain the same safety standard. And, god forbid the public ever get flying cars if the bar is not raised.

[@PedroConejo1939]

A more comprehensive test, while beneficial, won't stop all the idiots who are currently making our roads such an unpleasant experience.

[@RicardoPetrazzi]

@@PedroConejo1939 Unfortunately, thats true. 🙄

[@ashley_neal]

In my opinion the worst driving in this episode was from the lorry in clip 11. The company that runs the lorry in the clip (www.pentalver.com/road/) has apparently implemented training from IAM across it's fleet. This proves it's little to do with what's tested but everything to do with attitude.

[@Seanmcdhuibhne]

Won't make any difference. Unlike many idiots on the roads my 5 year old grandson knows what look right, look left, a STOP sign means.

[@timothygremlin9737]

7:40 Whoa, that's 8 years in the future.

[@steve00alt70]

3:11 that wouldnt have happened if the lorrie manufacterer designers didnt make them so high up with blindspots that you dont know whats beside you or infront.
