Bad driving compilation UK #10 - Leeds

We made it to 10 compilations of terrible road behavior in Leeds. Not surprising but it is disappointing to see the general lack of care and awareness.
As always, most clips taken while on a driving lesson. There's no sound for this reason too. There is barely any reaction other than me saying "I'll save that one for the dashcam vids" so you are missing nothing.
I was thinking of doing commentary for the videos in the future, if you would like that, let me know.
Stay safe out there!

How refreshing for a video with no audio *not* to have annoying "Drum and Bass" music dubbed over it. 10/10, sir.

Impatience takes longer lol. Nice to see a good driver for a change, you, Martin. Perhaps you can relate to the following observations? : These people have a very bad, narrowminded, shortsighted view of time, being hasty for no wise reason. OK, I can understand having a pregnant wife in labour on the back seat needing to get to hospital as soon as possible as an exception, but some people are rush-rush-rush all the bloody time - why? It is very bad personally for stress leading to one's own breakdown, unable to wait just one minute out of all the 1,440 minutes per day. What is ten minutes out of that just to wait patiently in the queue? This time-cramming with more haste is just insane, unnecessary, and foolish. Do they honestly think being hasty makes time go quicker? No it doesn't make time go quicker. Do they think that impatience gets them to their destination sooner? No, because they will crash with their journey delayed with a damaged, stranded car, or worse, dead. If they do, what have they really gained in "buying" 10-15 minutes that day driving like a selfish maniac with a bad reputation as a terrible driver, even becoming a disqualified driver? Some employers push people to be hasty in their driving job. What if they kill a pedestrian or driver one day, thus become an "accidental" murderer or a manslaughterer? Do they really want the excruciating pain of bloodguilt all their lives because they killed someone by their bad, selfish driving? That van that went through the red light under the bridge: what if a car was coming the other way in a head-on crash killing a family or a child? That van was doing at least 40mph. People have got to slow down their lives and take it easy and take their time. Like the stupid idiot at 1:21, who just couldn't wait 10 seconds and go behind you ; no, the fool has to pull out right in front of you as a crash hazard. Why cut the corners just to save two seconds? Why go through the red lights to save three minutes, then crash? There is no wisdom in that. I like to rest at red lights, taking my feet off the pedals, gear in neutral, and just wait patiently, getting a few minutes' rest, from a long drive, until the opposite lights go amber. There is no such thing as an accident ; they don't just happen, but is always due to lack of wisdom by some stupid human, always human error, not some kind of road fate. Don't rebuke the wicked: it just sets them off into becoming a road rage incident, not worth the grief, stress, and vexation from these unloving fools. It is like a driving game of Avoid All The Idiots Today lol. Just yield to them and get them out of your way and off your rear. I have been a driver for 14 years now, no crashes or anything so far, sharp as ever. Take your time, not too slow, not too fast, be observant, be considerate, and follow all the rules.

[@darronian4951]

Blatant red light jumpers should have an instant 12month ban putting others at risk, do it 3 times, licence should be taken away permanently

[@Tox1415]

Got to admit sometimes driving round the loop its easy to get in the wrong lane. Usually because some knacker comes hoofing along behind you barging you out of the way. I tend to get to Woodhouse Lane, park up and walk into Leeds. We used to go for swimming lessons at Scotthall baths and nothing surprises me round there.

[@MDdriving85]

The loop is very confusing if you don't know the way, barely any markings, bad signs. You see people do it wrong every day

[@surreyscouse2873]

Damian, the white van man at the bridge? He'd delivered mine before I'd even ordered it and I live near London!!

[@Zeethaillest92]

The guy in the Honda Jazz aka Honda Fit indicating at that point just had me💀💀💀... I am unfortunately driving the same embarrassing vehicle at the moment

[@damianbutterworth2434]

And think he just delivered a parcel here. It arrived 28 seconds after I pressed BUY.

[@computertechnician4896]

I was going to ask why you were driving slower than everyone else? Then realised your a driving instructor ! Now fully understand. Well done, some good clips of some very bad driving.

[@MDdriving85]

yeah, we are definitely going slower at times. we always try and get them to sit at the limit when its safe to. thanks!

[@vanreliant5584]

Most of these shouldn't be in charge of a walking frame never mind a vehicle.

[@tedfoyle874]

I love watching your videos if nothing else to make sure I haven’t been a twat driver and made it onto your channel. I definitely need to get a dash cam the roads of Leeds are becoming a joke.

[@MDdriving85]

Haha. Thanks! I would strongly recommend getting a dashcam. I think if you have a front and rear facing one it'll be beneficial for insurance too.

[@andyduhamel1925]

Licence from cornflakes box.

[@caleblindley7142]

At 2:02, the traffic lights where clearly on amber about to to go to red. But instead you put your foot down before it went red. You had plenty of time to slow down and stop.

[@Introzoid]

It is not illegal to go through amber. You don't need to immediately stop if it just changed to amber and you're a car lengths away...

[@seanthompson1826]

You're a very slow driver. OAP? Must be fun getting stuck behind you on a narrow road.

[@tracynation239]

An excellent video. ♡ T.E.N.

[@surreyscouse2873]

Name of the game is like my vans, front&rear cams, drive correctly, don't react and let them crack on with it. They will die of stress.

[@johndonaldson7930]

thanks Martin..great work!!

[@tonightneale6688]

So many knob heads.

[@leslieallan392]

There’s a plot of land waiting for them all☠️

[@1960dave1960]

Was any of these reported to the police?

[@MDdriving85]

No, they don't accept any that have been uploaded to here. You have to have 1min of clip either side of the incident and an accurate time stamp. But I'd rather upload here and not have to deal with any police. I'd send them any that are actual accidents or involving injury.

[@bertsmith7013]

I would much rather a car overtake me than drive up my arse.

[@melgrant7404]

Yeah anythings better than up the arse😆

[@jim9.9]

It's because they all got their driving licence in Bradford in a cereal Box 😅

[@motoclonkdribblehead5423]

HA ...I must have come across you at the front of every line of traffic I have ever been stuck in!! Seriously though I agree with everybody else, you have had more than your fair share of rubberheads. I just think that the majority of these 20 mph limits are totally unjustified. There was nothing wrong with the 30 mph limit. It's just another excuse to raise revenue.

[@andysedgley]

In fairness, Leeds looks pretty good compared to Moscow

[@rocketman6878]

Yes some rubbish driving there.trouble is they are the sort that kick up if you did it to them and try to turn it found on you ,

[@morikanteyekeyeke6147]

This is boring, but the scenery is nice.

[@darrenwilliams118]

Seems to be a lot of nobheads driving around Leeds. I can understand people getting confused in a strange city but running red lights and corner cutting is just reckless.

[@francescxavierbulto9848]

I live here and in all fairness it’s very confusing is the centre, the one way system is shit and the amount of traffic trying to get into lanes is horrendous. People will just force you regardless of indication to stay in a lane you don’t want to be in. I drive a lot and Birmingham, London, Manchester are all worse but Oxford has to be the icing on the cake.

[@paulackrill5644]

Shocking drivers

[@patmccaffery1543]

Let's go to Leeds. Let's not..!!

[@brandonhartofficial8812]

Whys there no sound? Be better with sound man

[@pxa4446]

What have you still got a tax disk in the window lol?

[@MDdriving85]

haha, its the driving instructor licence, has to be displayed in the window... i still see the odd car with an old tax disc tho. retro.

[@glamill51]

Know the area well. Your driving instructor has taken you to the worst areas for driving!

[@MDdriving85]

im the instructor, and yeah, everywhere gets covered eventually. theres plenty bad areas for driving here

[@louispetherbridge9754]

Where are the Gestapo when all this is happening ??? - back at the station drinking tea ???

[@davidalanshelton3781]

Yeah,probably on a break,do you work ? do you get a break or do you work a a straight eight/nine/twelve hours without one ?

[@sarahford9653]

I think you bad driving man

[@markdunbar8219]

My god I think I'll avoid Leeds looks like they have loads of bad drivers 🤔

[@ASI4N_W1NG_]

Mark Dunbar i live in leeds and the drivers are mostly good

[@neildempster2827]

You won't be missing much.

[@ffscantfindausername]

I see a lot of bmws too

[@madbrit5053]

AND ORANGE MEANS STOP just thought i let you know

[@salisburyplain998]

Your not helping the situation but there are some absolute nutters for sure.

[@adha2913]

7:02 Keep coming, keep coming .. *crash* Alright, stop.

[@swordfish2326]

And I thought it was bad in Russia

[@MrG-wq5pb]

Erm question why you driving so slow in your white vehicle no wonder vehicles are passing you

[@gwishart]

Because he's a driving instructor - learner drivers often drive slowly.

[@madbrit5053]

wo ever this driver is needs to speed up a bit no wonder people are getting frustrated with your driving, your causing most of it

[@gwishart]

He's a driving instructor - obviously learner drivers drive more slowly than other motorists.

[@sarahford9653]

Why mean to drivers

[@theborobuzzard9533]

Leeds must be up there for the most 🛎🔚 drivers..

[@whigwood]

But what can you expect? It IS Yorkshire after all.

[@joeosborn2088]

You seem to be trying to drive as slow as possible to make other drives look bad, it's strange you have so much footage of this maybe put on a reverse cam let's see the problems you cause from behind with your reckless driving.
