that synchronised mini roundabout was strangely satisfying

[@weevilinabox]

It was like watching the now disbanded White Helmets motorcycle display team. Or the infinitely more skilled Purple Helmets.

[@JustsomeblokeinYorkshire]

Many years ago, I lived in Australia. The very first roundabout for several hundred kilometres was built at the end of the road where I lived. It caused much confusion. There would regularly be a situation where 4 drivers would pull up at the approach roads, all looking at each other and wondering what to do. Eventually, someone would pluck up courage and make a move... and all 4 would go at once. They would carefully shuffle round the roundabout until each had reached their exits... then the process would repeat with the next batch. As I'd learned to drive in the UK and was already familiar with roundabouts, I would frequently arrive, see the roundabout was empty, and just sail around it... leaving other drivers giving me looks that clearly asked "are you allowed to do that?"

Those bright billboards need to be banned. They're utterly ridiculous. We can't have moving images in the car, but we can have giant illuminated billboards with animated adverts on them. That retail park in Warrington and the billboard at the end of the M62 are the most egregious local examples. Also, that three car emerge on the mini roundabout was 👌

[@avalon7902]

Its quite immoral. It goes against the spirit of the law about looking at screens, monitors, phones and computers whilst driving. And all because some Advertisor wants to skim a buck.

[@Being_Jeff]

Those bright modern car headlights need to be banned the ones that flash blue in your review mirror when they go over a crest or bump in the road and look like an emergency vehicle approaching, and when they totally blind you from seeing anything with your conventional headlights when they are coming directly towards you its as if everyone is driving with full beam on!

[@ryanmitcham5522]

What irritates me is this is solved with a light sensor costing pennies. Obviously they 'need' to be brighter during the day (if you consider electronic billboards a thing we 'need') when ambient light is brighter, but nowhere near as bright at night. Obviously. We are all used to this with phone screens that adjust to be brighter when used outdoor during the day vs in a dark room at night. But apparently the same common sense is not used with these stupid billboards. This is something which simply shouldn't be an issue. And I can't even see a money / profit thing as being a legitimate argument as to why they don't have a cheap sensor (not that it should be legal anyway). They are so uncomfortably bright at night, that I need to actively avoid looking at them. Which defeats the point of an advertising billboard.

I've often had that thought that driving ought to be like a dance. Everyone should be trying to make the dance as a whole graceful. It's nice when it happens.

[@olirc]

@@dgphi You're absolutely right. Roundabout and junctions work so well when everyone is in tune with each other and can potentially, like in this one, allow more vehicles to pass through. Unfortunately, not many people have the brain function to be able to understand that. I too liken a mini roundabout to a synchronised dance. Imagine it with the roundabout taken out of the equation and it would almost be as good as those stunt driving shows. 😂

[@ryanmitcham5522]

@@dgphi What's frustrating is it's really satisfying when people work together to make things flow. Backing off or speeding up, creating gaps, making the dance work is so satisfying and more comfortable for everybody. The selfish driving is not only less effective and reduces flow but more stressful for everybody. I don't understand why more and more people want this. Why on earth would you want to make life more stressful?

[@SKYWURX]

5:01 Honestly the first time I saw one of these signs it was in similar lighting conditions and I can't believe they are allowed to be as bright as that. I honestly had a giant rectangle in my vision after I had passed it and the glare it made on the road as well made almost everything else invisible.

[@remotecontrolaholic]

Came to the comments to say this too. There's a bridge near liverpool with these same kind of displays and they're absurdly bright. Bad enough that they're distracting to drivers, but can't they at least adapt brightness to the conditions?

[@robertwillis4061]

They are far too bright. Shouldn't be allowed to be above a certain lux output once the streetlights are on. Needs a serious accident, with them being a major factor. Seen some that have video with flashing pictures. Seems that advertising can do what it wants.

[@smilerbob]

I remember years ago seeing a big, bright flashing advertisement board (I want to say north end of a M5 but could be wrong on that one) The flashing advertisement was to warn drivers not to drive distracted and keep eyes on the road 🤦‍♂️ Oh the irony…

[@davidjones332]

There are some of these In Blackburn, including one which the local council have permitted at one of the most collision-prone junctions in the town. Not only are they too bright, but the moving images are dangerously distracting. Given the strict controls on roadside advertising, how is this even legal?

[@14LuvMusic]

I think it's good that they are actually researching headlight brightness now though, modern blue LED or Xenon style lights are very glaring, and their auto-levelling technology is naff, they bounce up out of sync with any bumps the car goes over and it looks like a main beam flash. They are so complicated to adjust that many technicians won't bother if the beam isn't too far out of alignment, but that can make all the difference in normal driving conditions.

[@WhiteEagleTube]

[@smilerbob]

I have had someone approach a zebra crossing while on their phone. I slowed in case they suddenly walked out which the didn’t but at the point of committing from myself the driver behind decided to beep his horn at which point the pedestrian started to cross Never wait at a zebra crossing if you are not going to cross and never beep your horn, even at other road users, around pedestrians and crossings.

Yet just before and after the camera, they have no problem being over the limit.

[@Tetrinity]

Presumably they're already at 9 points for speeding and can't afford to get caught again. They could change their behaviour, of course, but why would anybody learn from past mistakes like that?

[@ianmason.]

My personal bugbear is drivers who think they are speeding when they're not and they brake for a speed camera when they don't need to. A1020 in Beckton between the A406 and Beckton roundabout is a prime spot for this. There are speed cameras on both carriageways and it's a 40 mph limit. The number of idiots who were doing 40 mph next to me who suddenly slam on the brakes to go through the cameras at 30 mph while I sail through at 40 mph has to be seen to be believed.

The confusing indicator one reminds me of a Corsa I saw on the motorway yesterday. They were driving in the lefthand lane, then moved to lane two to overtake. Great. Except the second they pulled into lane two they indicated left, even though they hadn't passed the vehicle in front. The indicator stopped flashing while they were still in this lane, and they later moved over to lane one without signalling again. They did this multiple times. I've honestly never seen anything like it in my life. I just followed behind them for quite a few miles until they pulled off. Totally bizarre

[@JustsomeblokeinYorkshire]

I suspect your Corsa driver might be someone cancelling their right indicator a little too forcefully, and flicking the lever down far enough to trigger the non-latching left signal position. I had a Vauxhall (can't remember the model - Grandland, maybe?) on hire a little while ago which had an annoyingly sensitive indicator stalk.

@@Eric_Hunt194 I'm gratified to see someone else knows what a meeting without biscuits is. Those are the high points of my 'career'.

That tractor in the last clip seemed to be enjoying the chaos it caused a little bit too much...

5:32 HA's have special exemptions for many rules and laws. It comes with the outfit.

[@DavidSmith-oy4of]

Had 3 car and 1 bike standoff at the same roundabout twice last month!

[@draconicdusk5911]

I like how, in the final clip, the viewer pulls over. I assume their intention is to help the farmer get their slurry trailer attached.

[@ibs5080]

At around 6:44 re the Audi driver behind blaming the cammer for thier own bad planning. Totally agree it was really all on the Audi and not our cammer. One additional observation: I already "clocked" the Audi driver as a bad planner at around 6:44 by the late manoeuvre into lane 2 and even that was after observing our cammer make the same manoeuvre. When you are selecting "the lane of least resistance" you want to be doing it early and gradually, not as a last minute manoeuvre.

[@smilerbob]

It was good awareness from the lorry driver as well to not just move central as the road narrowed. When the car joined me in lane 2 I was aware they would probably try and tag along and was not disappointed. They are probably used to doing 50+ despite the road being 40mph Oh well, no collision and no doubt no lesson learned from the Audi driver as it was clearly my fault for going the posted speed limit 🤣

[@smilerbob]

@bazzacuda_ Quite tame for the usual standard around there 🤣

[@ibs5080]

​@@smilerbob Oh that was one of yours Bob. You handled that well and it was intelligent driving on your part by using the lane of least resistance. I would have likely done the same. Sympathy to you re the reaction of the Audi driver. As the saying goes "Bad planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part ".

[@PedroConejo1939]

Ah, the old never follow someone into an overtake scenario, especially if it's Bob.

[@smilerbob]

@@ibs5080 If traffic was already moving then I would remain in lane 1 but as the lights were red, and changed as I moved lane, it was as you say the least resistance. As others have mentioned, it is quite normal driving for this road 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MK-1973]

Great clips as always. 7:12 a great demonstration of the effectiveness of ABS?

[@ChrisisisB]

9:05 ”its probably the first time the have ever used them (blinkers)” 😂 German car (I assume) and British humor.

[@colinjava8447]

3:40 is Dudley town centre, and that's the theory test centre building showing just above and to the right of the blue car in front.

[@markwright3161]

10:04 It's empty. They never empty every drop. Dropping off the pickup hitch was enough to clear that few litres or so left in the system. Tankers like this pull a vacuum from a pump that pulls/pressurises from the top of the front of the tank while the pump itself is at the end of a further length of pipe on the drawbar of the tanker as it's driven by the PTO (Power Take Off) shaft from the tractor, so at the base of the front of the tank, so the contents are pushed out by building up air pressure in the tank above it. However, once the level drops the the diameter of the valve at the back, the air can obviously get past any remaining liquid, and so there's always some left. You only need to take the attachments off the back of one once to learn just how much that can be. :) Edit; The spraying in the air at the front is a pipe from the tractor for hydraulic brakes on the tanker. The hose must have pulled apart when the tanker separated. You can see the pulse each time they hit the brakes.

[@gunnern1]

1:07 I'm more curious if anyone got the manufacturer wrong. At least it wasn't me. It's 11 years since I got rid of mine 😅

[@Theactivepsychos]

That first clip looked like he was going to fast to safely slowdown with that suv behind and the beep was a warning.

[@stevesmith7530]

Although not relevant in the clip, blue lights are not necessary to claim exemptions. Lights and sirens are merely warning equipment.

[@markwright3161]

7:57 Time stamp for replaying the satisfaction of this one. It there was ever a reason for KZbin Shorts, that it :)

[@cathallynch1]

9:46 Totally not the cyclist's fault but that's a good reason to mount the pavement to get away from the bus. That could have ended very badly.

[@ashley_neal]

That was always an option though if required.

[@ToddNZMTB]

A euphemism for the ages: _runaway slurry truck!_ 😊

[@kenbrown2808]

the wayward slurry trailer brings to mind a story of a driver of an open roofed car who was a known nuisance in the area of a dairy. until one day he struck the rear of the dairy's slurry truck, breaking off the rear dump valve and filling his car.

[@paulsengupta971]

"Even this Mercedes SUV driver knows what to do." :-) Something I've noticed - Mercedes drivers = unaware and inept, 4x4 drivers = inept, so you'd think that a Mercedes SUV driver would be doubly inept, but that doesn't seem to be the case, they only seem to have the traits of one of the classes, they don't get added or multiplied.

[@PkPvre]

Double negative is positive.

[@paulmurphy2583]

As for the slurry tank, I recall a TV program (maybe the 999 TV series in the 90s) showing the more unfortunate outcome of this happening to the driver of an open top car, he and his car were totally covered in the slurry, he was assisted by fire brigade officers hosing him down. Make sure it doesnt happen to you.

[@thomasplattones1810]

That roundabout clip was poetic

[@Tillyard86]

9:52 had no idea my local bus drivers were so impatient.
