People on the comments always make random assumptions. What makes you all think that Audi SUV driver must have been on the phone? Just because someone don't see the cars in front moving, doesn't always mean they're on the phone. I swear that everyone just assume that all Audi drivers are bad drivers. So according to you all, it's should be illegal to buy any German car. I wouldn't be surprised if you still open your window and throw a knife at everyone who drives an Audi? Not all Audi drivers are assholes, unlike you.

​@@patrickdoyle9369 Your argument is flawed though, if I were to take it seriously lol. Whether someone is an idiot or not, we have to be collectively responsible for these idiots still. It's true, people don't look before they cross, pedestrians can be blind sometimes. They could be idiots for sure, or.. they could be disabled, for example, or, on medication perhaps, young, old, impaired, etc etc. Your argument relies on the idea that every single person who ever uses a road is actually responsible for themselves. And your argument assumes that people should never make mistakes, which is obviously rubbish. I bet even your smart arse still makes mistakes in life. But regardless, I would say not looking before crossing is a big mistake, however, do you think someone should potentially lose their life for the sake of being an "idiot", especially if you can prevent it? Like wtf are you actually saying 😂 Have some compassion for people. We're all idiots at some point in our lives, and I doubt you're an exception.

You have a video like that with the question "Why do you need to stop?". it even goes as far as a video like that situation with parked cars. and the video stops at the exact moment where the pedestrian/cyclist is hidden behind a parked car. Or a video with multiple cyclists and pedestrians. And if you miss one you get 3-4 error points. At 10 points you fail the test.

Given that the first manoeuvre is to the right, I would have thought indicating right would be much better than left. It should also stop people trying to come past, which they can legally do with you signalling to turn left.

[@WavScorn259]

@@craftsmanwoodturner no because then it would confuse the drivers around you into thinking you're parking on the right/forward parking into a drive on the opposite side of the road. The correct way and only way to do it is signal left, check and wait until its clear/drivers giving you way, then go for it.

[@craftsmanwoodturner]

@@WavScorn259 Is that documented anywhere as the correct procedure? Because if someone did that in front of me and there was no oncoming traffic, I would move to overtake a vehicle signalling to turn left (which is a legal manoeuvre). It only needs a failure of observation on their behalf for our two vehicles to be in direct conflict. That seems a much more dangerous confusion than if they signal right and then move right, even if they then stop and reverse into the driveway on the left.

[@jonp6798]

@@craftsmanwoodturner I've tried both to be honest. If I indicate right generally whoever is behind keeps keeps driving until they're really close and they have to slow down which blocks me from reversing as they're expecting me to drive onto the drive to the right and get out of the way quickly. Best way appears to be indicate left, park up, wait for a gap, then reverse.

[@redjellybean9797]

A trick that I try to keep in mind while driving is, where your shadow points, assume road users in that direction can't see you.

I do like the prediction of another vehicle needing to overtake. It is what I call "doing someone's driving for them". Surprising how many are oblivious to it's need and oblivious even when it's done for them.

[@gravemind6536]

Nobody knows just how much you save their skin sometimes. Had a couple of overtakes where I have had to slow down so they can cut in without forcing oncoming traffic to brake some people out there really suck at judging speed. People also seem to have no idea what to do when faced with a big vehicle on a tighter road many people just freeze on the spot. I have also been beeped at for saving people from themselves, I was making a really right left turn on what was already a narrow piece of road to ensure nothing tried to come through when turning I went over the white line and got beeped at, what they don't seem to get is if I let them through I would most likely have tail swung the car.

[@augustvonmackensen3902]

[@ianmason.]

There's a lot of driving things that fall into that "obvious once you've heard it" category such as looking *under* vehicles for the feet/shadows of hidden pedestrians, looking for trees or lampposts in the distance to tell you which way a road curves ahead if you can't see around a corner or brow of a hill, looking at the angle of a parked vehicle's front wheels to spot that they might be about to pull out and so on.

Impressed as always with Jon demonstrating the standard we should all try to maintain. I've had a few 'nice' moments, but with a cheap dashcam, none have been captured adequately.

Isn't his a 'Transit' sized van, so therefore that's a 50 limit? Oops!

Coming from Norway tho, have to translate left-driving to right-driving and take own road rules and such into account, but a lot is "translatable" into how I could drive. And especially as I now have a license myself and have started my real training, driving alone that is, these type of videos; Just Jon, Nice Driving, as well as the other series showing bad driving habits perhaps, it really do help So, to Jon: Thank you so much for being a big inspiration to drive safe and respectably. To Ashley: Thank you as well for being a big inspiration in that regard, as well as with Jon and others that submit their good (and wrong), it really do give a insight on things one can do to try and help where applicable, as well as when it is best "not to help" per say.

Enjoy Ashley's video's but disagree with the sweeping statement " people who flash have bad awareness" .

That's because we have read the situation in advance.

Maybe there is a different caliber of flasher where I live but I find when I am waiting to turn, I am faced with an endless stream of tailgaters only broken up by a highly aware flasher who kindly lets me know in very good time by alerting me to their held-back position to get ready and look around and turn if I feel appropriate. Also gives me a second perspective that they have a visual of my blindspots are clear (though I check myself too)

[@RichO1701e]

That's NOT what he said though, so you just made a BS strawman argument. I'll help you out, 3:33 - "people who flash, GENERALLY, have poor awareness". In the context of that clip, he's talking about car drivers at junctions letting others out by flashing, both in terms of the one flashing and/or the one following the flasher's permission. In this case, neither of them were AWARE of the motorbike filtering past. He's not talking about HGV's overtaking on motorways, flashing the one in front to come back in. Ash is 100% spot on with his comment about flashers, GENERALLY, they are poor at awareness. Also, as a biker who filters on motorways/dual carriageways when there's gridlock, I find HGV drivers spot me way earlier than car drivers and often move over a bit to give me space.

[@dbracer]

It's simply safer to assume that the person flashing isn't fully aware than it is to think that you can transfer the responsibility of completing your manoeuvre safely to them. "But he flashed me" wouldn't save you if you'd knocked over the scooter rider in the clip. On the other hand, as a former trailer user, I definitely appreciated the "you're clear" flash from the HGVs as I plodded past them at 60, but that's unambiguous and a much easier situation to read.

I move towards the middle of the road even over the centre line if possible and apply indicator then hazard warning lights before stopping to reverse into a driveway.

The biggest change I've noticed myself making on the road after I've started watching these videos is the switching lanes to help other people before they even realize they need it. I'm on the road very early and very late most of the time, and large vehicles really enjoy overtaking out of nowhere. If I spot a lorry driver getting a little close to the one in front of them, I just immediately put a lane between us to give them the space to do whatever. If it ends up not being necessary, I've lost nothing, but if it does end up being necessary I'm glad I don't have to do anything unpredictable myself.

That junction at 9:28 is a horror. It's the Woodgrange Road (A114) junction with the Romford Road (A118) in Forest Gate, London and the queues of traffic that have passed the lights with no prospect of clearing the junction isn't a "sometimes" occurrence, it's like that for most of the day on most days. It's one of those places where you get a shock when someone tries to do the right thing because they stand out so starkly from the mob who just pile into the junction with no observation or planning whatsoever. If Jon hadn't crept through the cycle box I can pretty much guarantee that some impatient genius would have pulled around him via the right turn only lane to Jon's right. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to sit at that junction listening to two or three horns behind me because all they can see is that the light is green and I'm refusing to move until I can see that I might have some tiny hope of clearing the junction rather than just making things worse when I do move.

As a driver living in France, I am amazed at the number of boxes that appear on the roads in your videos, especially at roundabouts.

I think I've said it on this channel before, but I wish car horns were designed to make it easier to give a short beep. My main cars require quite a pressure to activate the switch, so a longer aggressive honk always results.

How many people check how to use the horn when they pick up a rental car?

Your little maxims are great Ash, “read a story, tell a story” is particularly good. Write a book man!

[@BRMdrivingschool]

When I was still living at my mums it was quite common to see police doing speed checks on the road outside (20mph road) Could see outside my bedroom window people queueing up to get tickets

[@PedroConejo1939]

Never seen that, but it's good that they do it.

[@somerandomperson1825]

I’m sure he only said that on the last clip as he was speeding

Ashley loves john , john and Ashley run of together!!😂😂❤❤

[@stephenbrough8132]

Nice one - Thank you.

[@pepp77]

Driving at 20 often seems so slow, but seeing the speeds of Jon at times showing 20 or so it looks so much faster

[@marklittler784]

Good God the last one having to virtually come to a halt from 60mph for that Range Rover.

[@Tillyard86]

Saw you on the news! Can’t even begin to imagine what I would have been like if I’d had to wait six months for my test.

Clip 12 - watch out for the full 📽 on Sunday night as we all know it has to be option B 😁 lol...... Don't worry Jon (and Ash) - just messing with you here. You can get your own back later; just not on the road 😝😝😝. Great content as per 👊👍.

[@Jonc25]

Lol. I kept well away after that.👍✌️😄

[@grahamnutt8958]

@@Jonc25 Can't say as I am at all surprised, Jon. That driving was rubbish..... Oof; time to grab my coat 😁.

[@Guycicle]

The Aldi joke made me laugh. By the way I really enjoyed your new style of video when you went down to London, also looking forward to seeing how to get on with the bike.

[@coffeeholic8]

I live on a 20mph road, which is off another busier 20mph road with a school on it. I've lived here four and a half years and seen the police checking speeds twice in that time.

[@chrisbrookes1167]

Clip 14 is just an extension of 13, with the observation and anticipating where other road users may need to move to and leaving the space free.

[@andyalder7910]

Blame the council for the van driver's error in clip 9, B4187 should be painted in the middle lane but they've only marked the A roads, there's no local signage at all on the approach to that roundabout on the signs or on the road. Sign at GPS 52.420327, -2.130557 shows his destination to be 11 o'clock so left hand lane ought to be the correct one.

[@johnkeepin7527]

Indeed, no local signage at all there. Maybe that road belongs to the DfT, not the local Council! Incidentally, it looks as if the layout onto the roundabout has changed recently. Even within Google Maps, it changes as you focus in for more detail as of 29/5/2022! In the older setup, the left lane (out of 3 on the approach) allowed a straight on move, whereas now it’s left turn only, with the split between North and West being moved onto the roundabout itself. I bet loads of people have out of date maps, either on sat nav kit or on paper. The point is that many errors are made on account of this sort of thing. There is no formal date required to do alterations like that in line with map publication dates, e.g. Nor is there a requirement to advertise what is going to be done to the big wide world on the roads.

4:30 this is exactly what I try to teach any of the trainee drivers I get at work. Too many hop on the hazard lights and then expect the drivers behind to understand what is going on. And then they get stressed out because the drivers behind then push past whilst the trainee is maneuvering.

[@MK-1973]

Great video, thanks both and well done Jon. Excellent all round. Have you got a new dashcam in one of the clips, it seems sharper? And it doesn't have the familiar BU70 in the bottom right corner. ATB

[@Jonc25]

My old camera is no more! Can't complain, it survived for many, many, miles.

HI Ashley..in regards to 20mph limit enforcement I've seen it being enforced in the town where I live by police with radar guns ...and it's not particularly a very big town either

[@JasonCliftJones]

10:48 - ...and if you're going to be waiting forever under the new rules, how long do you think pedestrians had to wait for a gap under the old ones?

[@PeterBrooks_uk]

For the 20 speeding education in Merseyside, I've actually seen a few operations practiced by Police around Sefton park.

[@Ginger_Dalek]

Clip 3 - "Great driving by the Audi SUV. Has that ever been said before?" Yes, by me, a few months ago at the pedestrian crossing by The Royal Telegraph in Derby, strangely enough featured in Clip 11. The lights for the crossing were out & the only 2 vehicles that stopped to let pedestrians cross were a Range Rover & an Audi SUV. Yes, really! Clips 18 & 19 - No matter how good Jon's driving was, he shouldn't have been driving any vehicle with a crack in the windscreen like that!

[@mikemonkeyz]

Love the fact that literally the video before, we had a discussion on looking left when turning left at a junction. The first clip of this one, he touches on that. Ashley always knows........

[@andrewnorris5415]

Ha! But he may have seen the Jon video earlier. I'm not doubting Ash's expertise though, he's good.

[@andrewnorris5415]

Jon is brilliant. Thanks to Ash and Jon for bringing these lessons to us.

[@kenbrown2808]

in the clip where the van man ahead of Jon backed into the driveway; I would have signaled left, then pulled to the left curb for Jon to pass, and then done my maneuver with a clear road. just a different way of thinking about it. since I do occasionally have to back into my driveway, I prefer not to make people wait for me more than I have to.

[@Sast06]

Great driving by Jon as usual, however get that windscreen repaired!

[@chrispayne523]

Sorry Ashley. But every time you say "Jon" I think of Terry Wogan and his Janet and John stories. "Do you know how to be a better driver? Jon does".😂🤣😂

[@Dudleymiddleton]

6:04 probably a crash for cash case here - swerving round, going for the nearside where a lot of drivers do forget to check that left mirror for anything before moving. They probably prey on that!

[@kingkal81]

Great Driving I wish the Department of Transport uses this footage as a prime example of professional and safe driving.

[@justamanchimp]

9:04 The only thing I would have done better here would be when the lights changed I would have waited a tiny bit longer before setting off to make it extra clear and leave a tad bit more space for the lorry. I feel like getting on the throttle at the same time contradicts the message he was sending by leaving the space in the first place, it made the lorry slightly more apprehensive than needed I think. I know that's a mad tiny detail lol but I think it makes a difference to how smooth a situation can be.

[@brantnuttall]

0:27 what a daft question. Of course I would! lol
