Agree with you about the effect of seeing the first dead body, I'm 68 now, but, when i was maybe 10 I saw a little girl maybe 4 ish get run over by the miniature railway at Wicksteed Park, her face was grey and clothing covered in grease, it was obvious she had been killed - that picture remains crystal clear in my mind.

[@PeteSQ]

We had a crash in our village a few weeks ago, 30mph zone. Not a fatality but an elderly driver who apparently always cuts corners according to his daughter. He met someone doing the same coming the opposite way. 2 cars written off, 2 people in hospital. I think that's a good result. 2 drivers who are a danger to themselves and others off the road for a while.

[@lindaj5492]

Sounds like the elderly driver will need to be reassessed before being allowed to drive again: and his daughter should give evidence.

[@IndigoJo]

The Audi at 6:23 might not have been indicating until the last minute. People often don't because they can't be bothered or the indicator click interferes with whatever they're listening to. Happened to me loads of times; unless the lane is empty or the left lane is left turn only, I get in the left lane.

[@stephencope7178]

Late signals seem to be a common thing now...indicating three quarters of the way into a manoeuvre. . .they might as well have not bothered at all!! 😳

Bit of a glum start here - some members of my family have witnessed a bike accident, I won't get into detail as it was horror movie levels of gruesome. I have witnessed a dog being mangled and howling for 10 minutes, owners and kids (without a leash, their fault unfortunately hard lesson) went complete beserk, we had to take the driver in the house for her protection etc. Just that will haunt me for the rest of my days, I will never forget. More recently saw a pedestrian receiving life saving emergency life saving procedures - while I can confirm it does stay in your head rent free, I'm glad to confirm the man was air lifted to the Royal London Hospital and was saved. Drive safe everybody.

[@rondameier8168]

Sorry you had to see that... And for the one you dealt with in the past..... I remember one day commuting to work on I880 south bound in San Jose, CA. We came up on an accident scene that was a motorcyclist. The CHP hadn't gotten there yet, so the biker wasn't covered. But his helmet was in one spot, the rest in another and the bike in another... I didn't see the accident happen but it happened just a couple minutes in front of me, and yeah seeing that had me crying the rest of my drive to work.... And yes those things, even as just a witness, will effect any normal person for a long time..... My ex husband once saw a guy fall off building scaffolding, sadly the man didn't survive the fall.... And it wrecked him, mentally, for a long time afterwards.. My condolences to the delivery drivers family and friends.... On a side note... Food delivery, with the exception of groceries, needs to stop...

[@ianlove1215]

In connection with your armed police spot at Gatwick, I came back from Dublin into London City & there were 2 armed police on the DLR I took back into London. I have a 125cc motorbike & have had some close calls. The closest was on a roundabout. Bog standard 4 way & I'm going straight in the middle lane approaching. The entrance to my left has a dedicated slip separated by white hatchings to go the way I was. (I hope you're getting this!!) As I went to get straight after doing what I had to do so I discovered a hire van overtaking me. I can't go left even though the lane was empty as I was still leaning slightly. By the time I was straight he had gone.

[@peterdixon6807]

15:18 most high performance cars aren’t designed with a front, post-factory fitted air-brake in mind. The alternative stick-on, bonnet plate is not thought to improve the sexiness either.

[@martinr6298]

first item... might be 3o limit and they could have been doing 30, but were they in opposite directions ?... that would be minimum 60mph crash speed, possibly more if the scooter was speeding. That would clearly account for the damage to the police car and the distance travelled by the scooter and the rider.

[@johnjephcote7636]

Ah, but don't forget that at roundabouts, any outside lane, even on the rondo itself is 'an overtaking opportunity' no matter even if you want to turn left!

[@houstonceng]

The police manual of driving called “Roadcraft” actually recommends taking a roundabout from lane 1 to lane 2 to lane 1 for smoother faster driving. Assuming that there is no car on your RHS.

[@scienceexperimentsforhomee261]

Exactly. It's been pointed out before to LDC but he's just stuck in his rut of staying in one lane around the roundabout. Yes, if there is traffic around you but here the roundabout was empty so his line was completely right and actually much safer than the line LDC would want him to take.

[@thelondondashcam]

Police manual but what does it say in the highway code ?

[@suziforester]

@@thelondondashcam Oh no.... don't start Mr Boring off Tony

[@scienceexperimentsforhomee261]

@thelondondashcam you don't know or have a copy of the Highway Code? It does actually say that you should stay in the lane you chose to take any exit, but that is so that it covers the possibility of other cars being around. If I am aware of other cars near me then I do exactly as HC suggests and stay in my lane but if the roundabout is empty then I straddle lane as in the clip. The Police manual recommends it as it improves the stability of the car. Police pursuit drivers are the best trained in the world and would go be their recommendations over yours.

At 09:18 Cyclist on pavement. Several Home Secretaries have written to Chief Police Officers, to inform them where a cyclist is riding on the pavement because they do not feel safe cycling on the road, this is a permitted activity, providing the cyclist is riding on the pavement with due care.

[@melissanewton7462]

Exactly, these days you are more allowed on the pavement simply because the roads around you are not safe anymore. I won't use a certain dual carriageway near my home now now I've reached 64 and am slow at reacting on a bike. But I hate having to get around pedestrians. They don't take care no matter what on a path or crossing the road. Despite seeing me coming some groups of pedestrians are reluctant to move aside to allow me through.

[@scienceexperimentsforhomee261]

​@melissanewton7462 you are meant to give way to pedestrians, not the other way round. But I do think it is simply politeness for a pedestrian to move out of the way if they see you coming.

Sometimes I actually wonder that so few people die today in traffic. My wife was driving with her car, me as passenger, so not really powerful acceleration going on. We were overtaken by someone in a bent, just leaving the city. If oncoming traffic wouldnt have been driving the maybe 90 km/h, but 120, they wouldve crashed (allowed are 100). Most of the times its just sheer luck. If I would witness someone crashing, I would fully be on side of the one doing 120, not the overtaking one.

Deformable structures are built into all modern cars, not just to absorb energy and protect the occupants, but to lessen the impact on a pedestrian or cyclist. Of course there are limits, and the pedestrian/cyclist/biker may be thrown into something hard and ungiving, or there is direct impact to the head, which is frequently not survivable.

A 1 km stretch. If we look at the offenders, almost all are working illegally for deliveroo. etc. We have massive snatch thefts on illegal bikes. We have drugeroo. Why should the victims put up with the criminality? 7 days ago, I took a police inspector out for 2 hours. [I had some leverage against his boss who's made a horlicks of things, with the MP involved too]. At one point he gets worried for his personal safety. Now for mopeds doing delivery. You can test this. Young driver, L plates, delivery of food in London. Only one quote, third party, came in at 8,500 a year with a £3,000 excess. None of them are insured. or the lad at the local school. One of the 4 victims above. Smashed by one. Just back after 3 months off. Or my neighbour put in a wheelchair by one whilst he was on the pavement. So stop defending the criminals.

[@adenwellsmith6908]

Looks like one of your posts has vanished, but I got an email. Here's the bigger picture. To many two wheeled criminals. It's rampant. It's killing people. If one of them does themselves in, its a tradegy for them and their families. But when they take out other people in my view that's worse. So the police need to step up to the plate and deal with the problem.

Cynical and trite in the extreme. Accidents occur in the blink of an eye, so speculation about what happened is futile.

[@ianemery2925]

@@Andrewwhite-zt2zj Bikes are narrow - that crash impact is across the full width of the Police car and almost even in the extent - that isnt a front or rear impact on a motorscooter; but a broadside. As for cynical, I rarely see a police car obeying the speed limits - in fact I used to take advantage of their speeding; I used to follow the Chief Constable of Warwickshire on his way to work, when I was attending Coventry University - l would let him over take me; give him a 1/4 mile, then match his speed - as he knew where any live cameras and cars were likely to be; most of the trip was done at over 100 mph. As an ex "professional driver" I could give details of dozens of regular speeding events by cops on routine "outings"; from the Midlands, down to London; things I would see EVERY TIME I passed certain locations at the right time of the day; like non Motorway cars speeding along the M4 to Membury services every morning - to put some miles on the clock after slacking off for much of the night, and for some breakfast before going back to HQ and clocking out.

8:46 If a car kills a pedestrian crossing the road, it is not the pedestrian killing themselves, as you incorrectly stated, but the car driver killing the pedestrian.

9:27 I suspect that is all shared pavement and there's no issue with the cyclist riding across the crossing to join the road, how else are they supposed to do it? 😂

[@thelondondashcam]

As it's a pedestrian crossing he should be walking the bike across then join the road after, and it isn't a shared path at the start of the clip.

[@shm5547]

@@thelondondashcam are you sure it's not a toucan crossing? also, signage of shared paths is often poorly done, so it could be shared. in any case, there's practically no difference in the alternative. cycling carefully on a normal footway is effectively decriminalised, just like you won't likely get fined for doing 21mph in a 20 limit.

[@shm5547]

@@thelondondashcam ok, I've had a look and between Streeters Rd and Church Rd is marked as an off-road cycle track on Google maps. That also looks very much like a Toucan crossing, it has an additional green light, which is most likely a cycle symbol, so perfectly fine to ride across and join the road.

[@LCDashcam]

The guy with the crutches had almost reached the other side of the road when you got to him. Was your comment really necessary?

[@emmawilliamson692]

The guy with crutches chose to cross a road in his state without using a designated crossing which from the footage was only a few metres away and theoretically slowed down traffic because of it. So yeah I think the comment is warranted

[@thelondondashcam]

Yes it was with I crossing so close, and if you are going to cross there wait until the road is completely clear.

@@emmawilliamson692 he's on crutches and you expect him to walk, for him, a considerable distance just to go to a crossing. When he started to cross, the road was clear. LDC was 100yds away when he could have seen the man. LDC chose to maintain the same speed until he was 10 yds away. That is completely careless and thoughtless driving and the icing on the cake was the totally thoughtless and aggressive comment about his condition due to being hit by cars whilst he crossed the road. What if he has a degenerative disease that results in him needing crutches? We don't know either way but for LDC to make that appalling comment is completely unforgivable. He should be ashamed of himself even though he shows himself in a very caring light at he beginning of the video. He is a very Jekyll and Hyde personality.

At 4:50 the so called lane to the petrol station was so narrow (half the width of the lane left for you) that even if the van was in it, you would not have been able to get past him. So a rather irrelevant whine! At 8:50 you could have seen the man on crutches at least 50 yds always yet you chose to leave the slowing down until you were only 10 yds away, so vey poor hazard awareness from you and a very sick comment to say that he got the bad leg from crossing roads and getting hit. 9:27 - very surprised you could not assess this properly for yourself. His fault was not going through the red light as the light was green for him and his fault was going over the crossing whilst still riding the bike - he should have wheeled it across. 9:50 - the cyclists might be in more danger if they travel on the cycle path due to debris on the path. It is not swept and the cars travelling along the road ensure there is nothing that could cause a puncture to cycle wheels. 10:08 - if you think that cyclist was crossing in an unsafe place then that directly implies you were travelling too fast. Rule 126 of the Highway Code "Drive at a speed that will allow you to stop well within the distance you can see to be clear." 10:50 - the car so called crossing lanes inconvenienced no-one so your criticism is pointless 11:00 0- as you say the way the BMW slowed down to enter safely is fine but his subsequent quick lane changes was bad and contravenes the recommendations of the Highway Code 12:00 - you don not turn left or right at a roundabout, you choose the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc exit. Both lanes were marked o the road as for M25 and A127 so the bikes and car were in the correct lanes. In fact you were in the incorrect lane. You were not turning left, your exit was after 12 o'clock so according to Highway Code rule 186 you should have been in the right hand lane. "That roundabout" - 14:15. It's come before and you said the same thing then ad I corrected you then but you have taken absolutely no notice and again I am so surprised at someone who drives every day for a living but does not know the difference between the effect of the road marking and the large circular road sign on a pole. So when you see 30 or20 painted in the road, it has no legal significance - it is just a reminder but they can be outdated as they do not comply with the fully legal compliant circular signs on the roadside, on a pole, circular with a red edging. So at 14:22 you are legally in a 30 zone - the 20 road marking at 14:26 is irrelevant - so you saying at 15:00 that you are in a 20 limit is totally wrong. The roundabout at 16:20 is fat too small to have two lanes approaching in the two directions such that the truck at 16:52 was completely right to take the position he did to be able to get around the mini roundabout easily.
