NEVER trust someone elses judgement on weather or not you can make the turn. They then sit there and get arsy with me cos ive not taken their advice and im like well its a good F**king job i didnt you C**T for sitting on a junction that has double yellows...

I only just managed to see the car and applied my brakes as I didn’t know if the car saw me, and yup, car pulled straight out, wasn’t her fault though. Your videos have helped improve my riding and helped me learn to ride a geared bike and keep young and inexperienced riders (like me) aware of the dangers of the road.

1) Thanks so much for this! I have heard this called "road strategy" in the USA. Those near-miss channels are fine for a taste of how not to ride, but I get far more out of seeing what experienced riders do to avoid near-misses entirely. And when you see riders on different continents and different sides of the road doing and saying the same things and breaking down situations in the same ways, it helps you get a "feel" for what you should be doing. 2) Your motovlogs make England look like a motorcycling paradise.

Thankfully i was paying attention and saw there was a family with a pram walking down past him and obscuring the view for the driver. So I slow right down as the car pulls straight out sees me emerge from behind the family and there was no issue.

Agree with what you say about some car drivers. They don't seem to look beyond their bonnet. I haven't ridden since the early 1980s but I drive a 7.5 tonne truck for my job and I am always looking around me and using the mirrors. When I turned 50 my wife got me an AMG driving experience at Mercedes Benz world ar Brroklandscnear where I live. On the high speed circuit the instructor commented that he was impressed that I was looking out of the side windows approaching the bends in the track. He said loads of people just seem to stare straight ahead. Despite the car driving test being harder these days it seems the standard of driving has dropped.

Very good sound advice! Along with trying to make eye contact, also pay attention to the front wheels because they will tell you they are moving and in which direction...HOPEFULLY. Lots of cars are out of blinker fluid and they figure they are in a right or left turn only, that EVERYONE else should know which way they are turning. We've all seen the last second U-turn, oops wrong lane lemme put you in danger so I can get to Wal-Mart, or..."I'm Karen, I drive an expensive car and I'll drive my way, not the right way!"

Great tips even for car drivers. I suspect a lot of problems are caused by lazy thinking drivers whom are not thinking ahead or looking for hazards. Good driving no matter what you are riding or driving is a combination of concentration, observation, common sense and respect for others. It is nice to see a dashcam channel that is not all about speed or road rage. Keep up the good work and safe riding.

Spicy this is perfect, I wish everyone on the roads would think like this unfortunately not. It's exactly how I ride and drive the car, 2 seconds is not enough space to the car in front, leave double that (or more) and give yourself time to react when the numpties in front get into trouble. I hate it when everyone is so close and then the lead car brakes on the slightest of bends in the road and it concertinas along the line. No one makes any use of the throttle, the gearbox or common sense. Also having right of way isn't gonna help when you blow through on a green light but the pickup is on the phone to his boss and doesn't see the red light on his side, if having "But I had right of way" engraved on your tombstone makes you feel better then crack on. Love the way you ride - keep safe.

Some good advice. There are many courses, some are free!! which will teach you, safer/better road positioning, observations etc. Go safe, run by the police, similar to police training, (I've done a taster, learnt loads in an hour!), also Dragon rider in Wales. More around the country. Can't recommend them enough, costs usually around £100-£150, but worth so much more to make you a safer, and possibly better rider. What price do you put on your safety and bike?

So true. I was going across a roundabout, car waiting giving way to the right, I come across and it pulls right into me, knocking me off ended up with a broken shoulder. Until you get knocked off, you just don't have the awareness. It was drilled into me to never assume people are going to give way, but it wasn't until experiencing pain and a smashed up shoulder that I realised just what is meant by not trusting anyone's judgement. It has made me a much more accomplished rider.

Hi Spicy, loving the vids mate, keep up the good work. Can you brush over what happened after your accident with regards courts/police action/insurance claim difficulties etc. It appears that on most occasions now the driver won't be penalised unless a death has occurred, which I think is wrong on so many facets. Surely it's driving without due care and attention? Let us know. Thanks again.

Thanks for this. I drive a car in the same way tbh. Always aggressive defensive That is take control of the lane but be aware that everyone is an idiot (including myself on times). It comes from learning to drive in central London. LOL

Great video mate. I watch the video. Bikes vs car drivers. I drive a car and ride a suzuki bandit 1250s. You can see what is going to happen. As in driver going to came into your Lane. Just back off. He is in a car if he hits you one winner but is not going to be you. It's no good getting upset about it. Have a shout in your helmet. Does make you feel better but just let the dickhead go. That way you live to tell the tail. Keep up the great video mate ride safe. See you in the next video

What you said about right of way tracks with comments I've seen, like how graveyards are full of people who had the right of way, or that if you need to give up right of way to ensure your safety, then do it. Seems more and more to me that car drivers think the highway code only applies to looking out for other cars and not to riders.

Parked cars are the worst things people will just open their doors without looking in their mirrors to see if someone’s coming especially because I do a lot of road cycling I make no noice so I people do look before opening doors then it’s bad for me so I have to go right in the middle of the road and where I live in the uk have a lot of super skinny country lanes

The hazard perception part of the theory test is really good for this BUT, and it’s a big but, the pass Mark is 58%. So you can get it wrong almost half the time. Having just done it on my way to my DAS (I’ve ridden a bike for 3 years and driven a car for 18 years) it was fairly straightforward but I still dropped a couple of marks. I think the whole re-test or at least assessment of skills at regular intervals is needed.

Personally I think that test is almost worthless. It is really overly easy and also not realistic as on the video you turn out junctions without looking. Like the camera was bolted on the bonnet of a car. It's cgi they could have not done it that way!

I agree it isn’t great. But it is better than nothing. The main problem as I see it is a couple of things. Firstly skills fade. As our roads seem to get ever busier things that people “got away with” before now because of the extra traffic means they end in an incident. It’s very difficult for someone to spot where their own skills have slipped but how many people do you hear say “I probably couldn’t pass a test now”? Also as vehicles get “safer” so it makes them more difficult to see things due to bigger obstructions like the A posts on a car and bigger blind spots in HGVs and Busses.

Whats your advice to deal with people who. Come right up close behind you because you are sticking to the speed limit. I live near a few schools so stick to my 20 mile an hour limit. Most days someone is angry behind me.
@spicy110
@spicy110 5 жыл бұрын
Hold your position and ride normally, nothing else you can really do if you are not happy to do the limit. I know they say 20 is plenty but imo I think that's aimed at cars more as it's to do with hitting people on the road. Unless it's a actual 20 signed limit obviously.

Shame most the KZbin bikers accelerate towards some cars to cause a scene, I ride a bike and I haven’t needed to smack off someone’s mirror, and while rev bombing is louder than a horn in some cases, the driver might not understand what it means whereas when someone hears a horn it’s a sound people are used to, we’ve all had it where you miss second and go into neutral, rev your bike by accident and carry on, how should someone get the difference between that?
