There's no harm in giving a tree a hug, so long as it doesn't hug you back!

8.40 that’s old school for you, the gentleman crossing the road

[@shm5547]

8:40 I always treat a broken pelican crossing as a zebra crossing. It's not a rule, but I think it should be.

[@Peter_Vidgeon]

Regarding those trees; if they've been properly pollarded, that's what they should look like. I agree, it's not the prettiest sight, but they'll grow back soon enough.

[@chrisreadwells]

Was going to say the same thing. Usually done to "London Plane" trees every few years.

[@scienceexperimentsforhomee261]

Exactly right, Peter, and also, just what I was going to say!

With regard to the person on the bike with child on the back, its surprising the number of parents who make sure the child has a helmet but do not wear one themselves.

[@craftsmanwoodturner]

Those trees in Long Lane will be fine. It is called pollarding, and Croydon Council have done it to the trees in South Croydon (A235 Brighton Road) at least twice in the last 20 years. The trees recover soon enough, and it stops them overpowering the road or dropping rotten branches on traffic.

[@caolkyle]

9:33 pity can't report either for the dodgy plate

[@kiwicol7383]

What is wrong with the plate

[@caolkyle]

@@kiwicol7383 left white screw, to make it look like I I instead of H

[@konradc12]

I noticed it before I saw your comment. I think it is reportable. Just state the plate and mention the white screw over the H making it look like 11, with a photo. Unfortunately the phone use cannot be reported because the phone has to be visible in the hand! Anyway I would leave it to the police to spot him.

[@caolkyle]

@@konradc12 doubt police would do anything either unless you physically witnessed it in person too (the plate) and even then would go to bottom of their pile to deal with

[@kungfutuber]

@@konradc12 It's definitely an offence, but yeh would be at the bottom of the report pile no doubt.

[@zouzou_u]

I already know that these drivers with their Porsche take their front plates off for aesthetic purposes. Makes the car look better from the front but it still doesn't excuse them taking it off completely obviously. I've seen some people have it sitting up on their dash so its viewable from the windshield lol. Ugly sight, just leave it on the front.

[@Ezekiel_Burton]

I reckon that cyclist got doored, never ride in the door zone, dont give a damn if drivers dont like me taking the lane. People are idiots and dont check before they open their car doors.

[@michaelgurd7477]

Agree. Bet most car drivers have not got a clue what 'Dutch reach' is.

[@user-bu3kf2km3v]

6:42 The speeding, overtaking black Porche with no front number plate also has an ILLEGAL rear number plate - should read "Y5 HTT" but has been changed to read "Y 5HTT". Should be reported, deserves the associated fine of up to £1000 for rearranging the spacing on the number plate.

[@mellonmarshall]

hell the DVLA will take the plate

[@stephenhargreaves9011]

What the law says. Cars etc. must display number plates, meeting the specifictaions, front and back. The only exception is, "Motorcycles and motor tricycles registered on or after 1 September 2001 must only display a number plate at the rear of the vehicle. If you ride a motorbike or motor tricycle registered before 1 September 2001 you can also display a number plate at the front, but you do not have to."

[@scienceexperimentsforhomee261]

I'm old enough to remember when motorbikes had number plates at the front but they caused so many casualties in collisions that they were banned. The same with car emblems like Rolls Royce and Mercedes Benz.

Thanks The London Dash Cam & hope you feel better soon 🤒🤧

[@neilclark2245]

9:28 is that an illegal number plate? It has a white screw cover which alters the appearance of the plate, it should be black

[@myoldmate]

Yes. It definitely makes the plate hard to accurately read.

Many thanks for another entertaining video Tony. Get well soon 👍👍👍

Great video and get well soon mate

[@konradc12]

Another entertaining video. As a cyclist, I don't mind the clips on cyclists because it's about all road users from pedestrians to so-called professional drivers. 9:28 The Renault with the driver on his phone, did you notice the number plate? It had a white screw cap over the middle of the 'H'. This makes it look like 11! I wonder if the rear is similar?

[@ianemery2925]

10;00 Illegally modified number plate as well as on his phone; the other numberplate screw manages to be the right colour.

[@minigamers1255]

[@thelondondashcam]

See the trouble with you is you want your cake and eat it 😂

[@paulturner4826]

Totally agree with you as to the rule giving pedestrians right of way. I am a mainly a pedestrian and would never expect or rely on a vehicle to give way to me. it is called self preservation.

[@ianlove1215]

As someone that many years ago used to cycle about & follows sports cycling I'm guessing the "gym cyclist" may well be a member of a cycle club doing road training. It does not excuse any jumping of red lihts etc. he might do, but those sort do like to keep to a pace. You would have missed me at Carshalton roundabout then, I always did it properly on my motorbike when I was at The Chequers in Walton on the Hill.

[@margaretgreenwood4243]

Regarding pedestrians, in the 50/60s, there was a saying “Steam gives way to Sail”, ie pedestrians first

[@ianmason.]

I used to sail a small yacht in and out of Portslade Harbour, which had medium sized cargo ships also sailing into and out of it. When you've got a displacement of less than a ton, and you're facing a vessel that displaces several hundred tons you take "steam gives way to sail" with more than several pinches of salt.

[@margaretgreenwood4243]

[@Adam-oj9zj]

Great video mate. I'm looking to get the Viofo dash cam too. Is it hard to wire up the front and rear cams? Never installed a dashcam before. Cheers!

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

12:32 do they have priority from a roundabout ? I am not stopping on a roundabout to wave someone across ! If i’m going down the A264 around Crawley or Horsham & someone decides to cross on the exit of a roundabout, are drivers meant to stop?

[@huwlewis9059]

‘If safe to do so’!! It is bonkers.

[@suziforester]

I'm not stopping either

[@michellesimpson4364]

11:18 I wonder if the priority to the right at roundabouts fails because on a driving test you can fail for hesitation at roundabouts.

[@poulterbaz]

Those trees at 11:15 are pollarded, just an ugly way of pruning them

[@johnfh]

Love your quip about "the tree surgeon who doesn't like his job"

[@nicholasbell9017]

Those trees have been pollarded. You see this all over France and Spain as well. It's a pruning system to manage the height and spread of street trees such as Lime or Plane which left alone could grow to 100ft tall. It's is normally done at 3-5 year intervals.

[@dtfhhn]

Oh oh, the man flu. Welcome to the club, had this now twice within two weeks. Oh I laughed. I will go to hell, through the employee entrance though.

[@xo2quilt]

Those poor trees!! Now all they will produce are "witches' brooms", no more big branches. I guess that if they don't want any growth on the height of the trees, this is a way to do it. Hope you get over the crud quickly, Tony!!

[@chrisreadwells]

The Renault @9:15 really should have a black screw for the left side of the front plate, like he has on the right side over the F. It means it looks like I I rather than the H it is. Is this some trick to confuse ANPR cameras or what.

[@garyknight8432]

Quality Bro, you did say that famous saying and yeah we all say it at some point. 👍 Happy motoring Bro.

[@r390gt1lm]

not having front reg plate is illegal and can get you a £1000 fine and your MOT will be voided

[@sbushby9800]

12:30 Pedestrians 'must' be given priority at junctions, section 170. Section 187 says however on roundabouts you 'should' give plenty room to pedestrians because of the danger of all the roads. The two rules differ. According to t'internet.

[@scienceexperimentsforhomee261]

No. Both are just guidance, a code and not law. Rule 170 says should and not must. If it was MUST then it would be backed up by a law/act of parliament and it isn't if you read our Highway Code - if you have one.

[@suziforester]

Must be a hoot knowing you ffs

[@terrystratford1235]

The last clip, pedestrian crossing at roundabout....its a should not a must, giveway!

[@MMUXX]

[@tanderson278]

04:20 Cycling Mum and child - Thanks for showing just how crap cycling infra can be. So many times, at the location where many vulnerable cyclists need the infra, it f**king ends, and you are dumped back in the road with the Audis and BMWs, jostling to get in front of each other.

[@angeladormer6659]

LDC, welcome back, so glad you had a good break with your family. I agree with everything you say about big town cyclists. Out in the sticks, they're not as bad. Twice now I have had an Audi pull out on me at a roundabout. I wouldn't mind but they sat and watched me until I was a few feet away, then did it and I was indicating which they turning left did not do. Always an Audi 😂

[@user-hl3ir9sb9m]

Volume 320 - that is how those trees (going into Croydon) are supposed to be pruned. Hope this helps.

[@plbingham]

@12:38..... yes the pedestrian has right of way, BUT you are only required to yield for them IF you deem it safe to do so. The requirement is at a junction, DVSA have decided that a roundabout is a junction (I disagree, not that it matters)... personally I do not think it is safe to stop at a roundabout exist to allow a pedestrian across and so do not do it - as I don't feel it is safe, I am complying.

[@timsbird1971]

Those are pollarded trees - that’s exactly how it should be done.

[@stephenclark9917]

If you eat your cake, then you don't have it anymore. So you can have the cake, or you can eat the cake, you can't do both!

12:24 Highway code #238 states that "Double yellow lines indicate a prohibition of waiting at any time...". Waiting for pedestrians to cross the road still belongs to waiting, which is prohibited. For fun. Take it easy.

[@scienceexperimentsforhomee261]

mmmm. Interesting conflict that I understand you just bring up!! I suppose you could say the car is not waiting but giving way.

[@FikuKromoUzuFajrovulpon]

"Waiting and parking" that is, not giving way. You can't flatten three pedestrians and rear end the car in front of you because the pavement along side you has a double yellow line. 😒 Maybe read the section you told us.

[@ianmason.]

7:04 Concerning the cyclist lying on the deck _looking like_ he just crashed into the side of a parked car. Here's a statistic you won't hear from members of the "cycling community" when they are throwing numbers about: for every three cyclists killed in collisions with cars one is killed in a "no other vehicle involved" crash, roughly the same as are killed in collisions with HGVs. If a cyclist has a collision with an HGV 6.1% of those collisions turn out to be fatal, with "no other vehicle" 2.0% turn out fatal, and with cars only 0.4% turn out fatal. Source: UK National statistics Reported road casualties in Great Britain: pedal cycle factsheet, 2020. Data covers the whole of the period 2004-2020.

[@ianmason.]

@K-iq2rn It's just something to consider when you're faced with the kind of "member of the cycling community" who employs rhetoric like saying "2 tonne killing machine" instead of car. Using the same rhetoric they are in possession of a "20 kg killing machine that kills as many cyclists a year as do HGVs". Me, I own a "car" and a "bike".

[@kungfutuber]

7:14 Well the guy holding the bike is another cyclist who's helping, maybe picked it up for... oh look! 90's Fiesta! Not seen one of those in a while!

On my way home from work today there was some absolute idiot driving a moped on the pavement and across the pedestrian crossing yet nobody bat a single eye. I really don't get the traffic in this country seems like everyone can just do whatever they want now and society doesn't even care. I could have reported but what would even be the point when they don't even do anything about drunk drivers anymore let alone road users deciding to create their own lane on the pavement. Also no helmet either which I didn't realise until the last minute.

[@lefthandedspanner]

I'm guessing the behaviour of cyclists varies by region: most of my driving has been done in South and West Yorkshire, and although there's a fairly low proportion of cyclists (mostly due to the large amount of hills and heavy goods vehicles), they tend to be more road-wise than this lot the worst I can honestly say is that a tiny minority - as in, I've seen 3 in nearly 10 years - will do something breathtakingly stupid, e.g. cycling on the verge of a 70 mph dual carriageway, not realising it's a drainage channel and not a cycle lane

[@noahburns6042]

What are your opinions on cycling Mikey?

[@myoldmate]

It's gratifying to read a post that echoes my own thoughts. He's mostly good but not always. You can't really argue with what motivates him, his intentions are justifiable. My gripe is that he comes across as a righteous zealot, in plain words an annoying cnut, that is the judge and jury of all he purveys. Personally, I find it amazing that he hasn't been seriously attacked by now.

[@FikuKromoUzuFajrovulpon]

Not a cyclist here! Going to comment on 2:36 ... Do you not realise that cyclist do not have to use the cycle lane? They can use the road if they like. That guy looks like a regular keen cyclist who, seeing a few people in the cycle lane, can probably establish he'd be held up by them so instead chose to use the road. He has every right to use the road. Cars have no more right to use the road than he does.

[@thelondondashcam]

You're obviously new to the channel I frequently say that they are allowed to use the road but while using the road they should follow the road rules which pretty much most of them nowadays don't.

I trust in all the faffing about after the event he is taking time to provide his name, address and insurance details to the owner of the damaged car?

[@heatherhoward2513]

The white car behind that cyclist hit him because, " sorry ,I didn't see you" the usual crape remark.

[@edj4833]

How do you know that the bike hit the car? One cause of cyclists coming off is people opening their doors without looking.

[@michaelperry4308]

6:03, it's an honorary cyclist, no number plate, no responsibilities, no repercussions because you cannot be traced. In Queensland even the Old People's Gophers have a number plate, but not cyclists, because they are unaccountable to anyone.

[@nikkirazelli3250]

pretty sure pedestrian priority doesn't apply to roundabouts, as that would cause the vehicles on the roundabout to stop, which is technically an offence.

[@billyskoda6839]

No, it applies because the exit of a roundabout is technically a junction. Therefore vehicles (and cyclists) must accord precedence to pedestrians wanting to cross the road that they turn into.
