CAR CRASH M6 - Police Ambulance and Highways!

[@davebgsi]

You need to swap the chest CA for a headcam. There's far too much feet and floor closeups

[@OldeCarrGuy]

I was just going to comment the same thing!

[@jackoboy333]

Im sure the footage would be great, but probably makes the job harder also?

[@OldeCarrGuy]

@@jackoboy333 I follow a lot of American truckers and recovery channels and they all wear the gopro on their head. It give more of a first person view. A more real experience and you see more.

[@imagseer]

Probably would make us viewers sea-sick with rapid movements.

[@Simple_Jack5]

Expert are ya?

[@Danielwatson1993]

What a capable piece of machinery, well done!

[@michaelwilson3844]

Couldn’t agree more about the car being a insurance write off , end up in a salvage yard , when I seen the state of the wheel always amazes me how you manage to get them on the recovery truck , I’m sitting saying to myself how’s he going to get that one loaded , keep up the good work love your videos it’s a thumbs up from me 👍🏻

[@EinkOLED]

I've seen cars repaired to new with damage like this. The only concern is the scratch marks over the door and rear quarter. Front wing and wheel/arm suspension can be replaced. Plus no airbag deployment. Probably £2000 repair if not written off by insurance. But by no means scraped the car, unless high mileage

[@hadokenhuncho1705]

ive just seen the green audi video. youre a good lad. keep up the good work

[@markfoden765]

Atleast the highway wombles seemed ok this time,think that's a write off looking at the damage and considering its a merc the interior didn't look in great condition either tbh,great job greg👍

[@RichardArblaster]

I bet the Highways officers were very helpful and polite as the police were on scene? 😆😆😆

[@darren112200]

poor guy thinking its going to e fixed by the insurance hahaha XD

[@stephencrane1434]

I was always told by my dad as I was growing up a red light stops nothing and it’s so right doesn’t matter what shape it is. It’s not going to physically stop anything. BRING BACK THE HARD SHOULDER!!!

[@barrie5852]

Can't believe you had to do that next to a live running lane😮

[@WKWr2d2]

That was good of you to put the roller under the bent wheel not only does it make the job easier but also causes less damage to the car I’ve seen videos where they just use the wench to drag the cars scrapping along the floor all your jobs are very professional

[@donlunn792]

Sunday Morning 8:00? Come on Greg you know you love it! (I know not injuries to people) But the Job! You love it. I actually have your number,on my phone, because I’m up and down the M5/M6 twice, every four weeks. Great Channel.As an ex Vehicle Mechanic/Technician/Fitter. (Depends who you work for and what you work on, as to what your called) I love it.

[@jakedaniels6714]

I find your content very entertaining and relaxing doing well thanks for taking time out to do the videos😊😊

[@makiwa]

Thanks again for a great Video..... The only observation is if you could do somehing about the volume of your Intro Music - way too loud compared to the rest.... Thanks.

[@pipublisher]

Customer was optimistic it would NOT be a write off because there is no insurance company to write it off!

[@bretty453]

MoD Police nuclear convoy escort vehicles at 4:34

[@paulwhelan2140]

Thanks, I was wondering what they were

[@davidadderson2100]

i thought for a minute you were going to accidentally film a convoy passing - another escort passed at about 13:00

[@smashabocks17]

did you gain 20k subs overnight, if you did amazing really love the content (edit) i seen you have probably due to that recent angry customer video 1.2MILLION veiws!!!! really glad you got a viral video

[@Steven-wn5eu]

Don’t know if Greg clocked it or not, but they were roadmen, they didn’t wanna sit in your truck because they were cold 😂

[@123MondayTuesday]

Poor blokes, they were on their way to have a fun day out too!

[@tomhope4613]

When was this filmed? Only asking as no insurance and road tax ran out September last year 😳

[@stevenbutler2030]

Really good job again mate 💯👍👍

[@sg403]

There is one driving law in America that I really think should be brought in everywhere. The Move Over Law… drivers must give at least one lanes gap between them and any emergency services / motorway workers stopped with the flashing beacons on. If they can’t physically move over they must be 30mph under the speed limit. It’s stupid how fast and close some people pass guys like you working on a motorway.

[@TonyBlews]

What do you reckon the percentage of vehicles that got into trouble having "vanity plates"?

[@srea064]

Good video mate and a professional recovery. Pity the car is not taxed or insured.

[@davidcocker8878]

Almost zero inner thread left on the Merc tyre recovered, that will be checked by Insurance

[@regwatson2017]

I hope the Police charged them for that disgusting tyre. That could have easily been a fatal accident.

[@almilhouse9059]

What an absolute waste of resources, 3 police cars, highways and what on earth was an ambulance called for, all fit and healthy.... wtf.... Ive been in head ons, flip overs, cars completely destroyed and no ambulance.....

[@Aaronn14]

Watch the whole video and you’ll hear one of them had a head injury 👍

[@lewi3_whufc]

Agree on the fact there was 3 police vehicles, only really the need for 1 imo.

[@Trevor_Austin]

@@lewi3_whufcAttending crashes is loads easier than dealing with crooks and criminals.

[@DobbyTFE]

Sure, just a bit of T-cut and she will buff out, right? Yeah, sadly that defiantly would be beyond cost for the insurance to repair in a garage back to original spec BUT there is nowt like optimism xD

[@kenh3344]

Highways England ought to face criminal charges on all accidents including deaths on smart motorways . They are very very dangerous I had blow out on driver side front . Tyre and after i wrestled with my 3 .5 tons truck which was a nightmare . And then pulled over i was in that live lane for 20 mins before any one came . And an hgv artic missed me by inches as he came trundling south down the m5 between droitwich turn noth and south . 4 live bloody lanes never want to be in that situation again ever .. absolute dangerous full stop .😮😮😮😮

[@macca696]

So when that happened what did you do

[@kenh3344]

@@macca696 well other than trying to change the wheel. And praying and nearly pooping myself. Had to step back and could not do the job . Police come and took offence at me , gave me cussing. Then they sod off . And motorway traffic officials came .escorted me 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile with flat tyre and bent rings to one of those safety layby was told me he couldn't help me but watched my back while I changed the wheel . Bloody scary very scary to say the least .then got off at droitwich south off m5 to the A 38 north bound. Never ever want to be in that situation ever ever again. The blow out at 60 mph was bad enough. What a bloody night mare . Not knowing what was on my inside or driving side as you suddenly thrown into chaos suddenly struggling to control the vehicle as I was in lane 2 of a 4 lane live motor way. Going into lane 3 then back to 2 wrestled with the vehicle and hoping you not hit any thing or they hit you. . Gradually what seemed eternity getting into what I thought was the hard shoulder. Wasnt . I came to rest in lane 1 of tha m5 southbound . Just after passing the droitwich turn off an article nearly took me out and my vehicle having just stopped by about 3 minutes. He saw me and swerved to miss me he was 30 36 feet from my rear as he swerved. To miss me . Sorry for the long write up But you did ask . .... as I've just writen I'm shaking now just thinking about the ordeal . Smart motorways need to be banned full stop . To many people have died already. Ken.

[@pauloldfield6968]

Are the heavy duty trucks your using powered?

[@fargogemini694]

See the bacon boys is are busy as usual

[@Georgiee.and.Dan.]

Bloody brilliant fantastic 👍👍👍

[@Erekose2023]

1:55 "We are currently in a Live Lane, but temp closed off by Highways on the Electronic Matrix above." Controller checking cameras... "Oh look. GDB has arrived. Switch it from an "X" to an "Arrow" Sorry... but thats the impressiuon I'm starting to get about how they think/operate.

[@Aleksander9003]

Another great video, keep them coming

[@stuartthorn-ye6zs]

Wow that bloke with the green Merc was a total knob

[@graham-martin5847]

i was told to always keep the wheels pointed to the left incase something came and stuffed you up the rear then your vehicle would fly off the side of the road instead of into a live lane am i wrong ?

[@RichardArblaster]

'ey up Greg 😎

[@bridoboy143]

Might of happend due to the tyre having a cut on it and the driver never bothered to get it changed 😂 as stated on the mot

[@jjjame6236]

Where do you get your road cone from please could I have a link

[@matthewrobinson77]

just a suggestion, think a headcam would give a better view if am honest.. loving the raw vids though, i just found i was looking a bit lower then preferred

[@matthewrobinson77]

ah just seen earlier comments.. not just my opinion

[@matthewrobinson77]

maybe a bullet cam rather than a go pro on top.. so its not causing you awkward positions

[@matthewc.419]

Interesting how you pullled it on , using that solid piece of round metal , ehat was that corrugated black thing you put under the rear wheel for ??????

[@markwright6685]

wheel chock to stop it rolling back down whilst he adjusted the winch cable.

[@seanquinn5634]

Would have been safer if highways closed two lanes on the gantry signs.

[@ocean5377]

Brilliant recover , a bit technical to get that busted wheel on but the skate works a treat , well done on yet another fantastic job done GDB

[@BelzoGraphics]

What jack is that you are using

[@Bmwtech324]

Halfords advanced 2 ton aluminium jack.

[@ryantparrish1901]

BEST NOTIFICATION ON MY PHONE IS GDB RECOVERY

[@cottonlung]

Agree. Great watch aren't they 😊

[@Scot-land]

Wonder if it will be fixed as it's mot until February 24 and it's sitting on 115000 miles

[@devlinrawlings3322]

You're gonna have to replace your sub wrap with a digital display at this point

[@muttleydog4682]

No road tax on that one, naughty boys.....

[@galaxion62]

Is the usual scenario where foreigners are involved! 🙄 . They want these swanky looking Mercs, but in reality cannot afford to keep them on the road!.

[@DavidAnthonyDickerson]

Probably also driving under the influence or dealing from the big holdall bag 😮😮

[@steveb1856]

Problem with smart motorways is all the dumb drivers!

[@barrie5852]

I agree most drivers probably think the red X is a suggestion

[@ThomasDevOnline]

Defo a write off!

[@scotty281976]

Ahh well its only a Renault in a fancy frock

[@steve5772]

Good cars the meganes. If I were buying a Merc again, I'd aim for one that's a rebadged Renault

[@DofTF]

Tutt tutt Greg, using the capstan block with no locking pin.

[@scotty197878]

🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

[@nigeldutton4559]

yes defo head cam

[@RandyDarkshade2]

Insurance never want to fix anything, so wasteful.

[@Neil2022]

Don’t suggest it’s a waste. Insurance will sell it on and someone will repair it if legally allowed. If not the parts will be used.

[@RandyDarkshade2]

Not much call for parts these days. All my local breakers yards have closed. @@Neil2022

[@lorddarlo6194]

The Front Passenger Tyre was bald how did the coppers not fine the Driver for it

[@joem178]

I would've used the skate on the axel and not the wheel so you wouldn't have to use the jack again and why did you park that far

[@tobyraffles]

Why did the driver keep walking off with the keys for the Merc?

[@masterzedric]

Force of habit, shock, scatter brain. Could be many reasons.

[@AdamLesta88]

No mate, that’s a write off

[@DavidAnthonyDickerson]

That is definitely a write off,

[@pjakep]

Remember to pick up your phone laptop, whatever device you were using when you crashed...

[@williamfence566]

Live lane next to you is ridiculous . should have closed it further back to allow a sterile work area free from drafts. Should be mandatory.

[@cunningpunt]

Smart motoways...complete waste of time and money. Still I'm sure someone made a packet from it.

[@madmantrucker]

I hope you didn’t take offence to my comment on instagram last night no malice intended

[@audibell]

Hope they are ok

[@matty1597]

Terrible from the ambulance driver

[@lordbyrom100]

Was it closed off to protect police officers doing their job or Highways agents doing their job whichever a good safety issue ,but why not do it every time grrrrr

[@carrecoveryuk]

Definition need some training how to recover damaged car off the motorway haven't got the time or patient to explain needs to spend some time with a experienced recovery guy.

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Cheers Dave noted 😂

[@MJPercy]

intro is so loud omg lol

[@imagseer]

Yea, it's good but we end up fiddling around to turn it down especially on earphone, and that's disrupting to people liking it. Maybe only 1:100 skip out of watching but you'd probably get even better KZbin stats with the volume of that clip cut back a few decibels.

[@hannahfoster6635]

Too much feet and tarmac footage , change camera ,

[@guy4469]

Arthur tussik would have this repaired in a week he is the most famouse in Europe he does £200,000 pound cars that have rolled 4 times on a AUTOBAHN amazing guy ,well known in Europe 2 million veivs .

[@wildfruits477]

wasting resources time absolute shocking! Ambulance pulled up he gets out car walking a pissing round! your kidding me on this!

[@burnzy3210]

I'd have the police search that for gear before touching it

[@ersalanni]

why?

[@stanleydockerty172]

Not all black people sell drugs

[@hassan.hadier]

oh give it a rest mate if u diddnt see the samuel leeds book inside you woudlve known these gentleman are property investors rather than selling drugs

[@jamesmatlaane9290]

.ur chest camera is looking down

[@kevinswift7442]

If you video any one you can see them then you cover up there face then you can see them do people know you show them on here l wouldn’t like it other people video and get told not to film any one or where they are. Why. You getting away with it

[@steveb1856]

Lot of motorway wombles doing nothing!

[@pr0n3d]

Cut the crap 50s long intro mate
