Bad UK Driving Vol 369

[@vinniem8996]

Reminded me of a joke Tony. 2 Coppers in a police car, one says to the other "am bored" the other says " if we follow someone for 10 minutes, they will make a mistake and boom, we can arrest them. So they pull behind the next car that passes, well 10 minutes go by and he drives perfectly, using his indicator, slowing and stopping bang on the white lines. 20 minutes and still fantastic driving, not a foot wrong. They follow this car for 40 minutes until his parks on his drive. The one copper says ive got to congratulate, him, he is the best driver i have ever seen. The copper taps on the drivers window and says " i have followed you for 40 minutes and you have driven perfectly. The Man says " well you know when you had a few too many drinks you have to take it easy hic.

You might want to edit to say front left of the black car. Judging by the amount of damage, the speed difference between them must have been fairly big - perhaps the silver car driver braked to avoid one of the death-wish squirrels Tony has highlighted in the area before!

[@brendanaengenheister5351]

Another reason for keeping the second lane clear as soon as it becomes obvious what the cause of the holdup would be to allow possible emergency vehicles clear access to the incident.

I believe 'slow up' is derived from horses. To slow horses, one normally pulls the reins, meaning the head of the horse is raised. Ergo 'slow, up' Cars are horseless carriages, so the derivation is clear.

[@smilerbob]

I do believe nearside and offside also originate from our times of predominantly riding horses

[@Chewiebakke]

I do sometimes use the term 'pull up' for coming to a stop. Also Americans might often use the term 'hold up' as in 'wait a minute'.

@Chewiebakke I would advise against using the term “hold up” instead of “wait a minute” when inside a bank 🤣👍

Done that once. My dashcam is in front of the sun visor and thus next to the mirror. I had the sun visor down and it's color is cream. That way you can see the camervery good. Not when the visor is up. I drove and had my 2.0 m big brother next to me in my black car. We saw a guy from the Atlas mountains driving and he went too fast. We decided to drive the same too fast speed a little behind him. After some km he noticed us by looking and looking and then started to drive the max speed. Stayed behind him for a while untill our ways separated.

Oddly - with a lane closed merge in turn, last week I was on a familiar road (to me) with an unexpected lane closure. As always, most traffic was in the open lone a good 600M before the closure. I usually join them early, but this time I didn't, and went the distance in the closed lane until the cones. I was surprised that a) no-one gave me the finger (that I saw), b) no-one tried blocking me, and c) I was allowed to merge. Perhaps you have a lot of viewers in Newport, S Wales who have learned from your videos.

Re the Mazda small man - to be fair, you have to be small to have one. I was looking for a sports convertible, and was thinking of an MX5. The missus disillusioned me of that idea because a) she wanted rear seats, and b) it was too small. She's 5'4". I. however, am 6' tall, so we settled on a Saab convertible. When I bought it, unbeknown to me, it had been de-catted (straight piped), and if the Mazda driver has done that to his, he'll regret it. Cost me £500 to find a cat and get it fitted to get through MOT. Turns out, straight-piping causes performance issues as well. It runs so much better, now.

The rule about cyclists turning right in the nearside lane is insane. Whoever decided that hates them. When someone badly tailgates me I also slow down so if there is a collision it's at a slower speed and it nicely pisses them off but I don't think Ashley would approve. The good thing is it sometimes works and they get the message. The official Ashley thing is to increase the gap from car in front and slowdown slowly but that also pisses them off so double whammy.
