#28 23:00 So many things wrong in this clip. First, just because you want to merge onto another road and you're signalling, doesn't mean those already on that road have to give way to you! An indicator in a signal of intent, not right of way! So many drivers forget that In order to merge they have to cross a give way line... The incredible level of entitlement shown by the womble in the BMW is extraordinary. Then he finishes it off in style by effectively assaulting his own passenger/girlfriend.

As a non-driver, people like the guy in clip #9 both amaze and frighten me. They put other people's lives at risk by breaking the law on the road and they 100% know that they're doing it. But they also don't seem to be able to handle the fact that somebody might sound a horn at them for doing something that could end their life. Like the caption on the video says, they seem to be desperate to go fast, but they always have time to stop and abuse the person they just put in danger.

S2 dangerous driving

[@initialyze]

Overtaking 2 vehicles on the approach to a bend where he obviously didn't have enough space to do so (evidenced by the fact he nearly had a head-on with oncoming traffic). I would suggest driving without due care as a minimum? (Driving that falls below the standard expected of a competent driver; or. Driving that does not show reasonable consideration for other persons using the road.) I think that would constitute breaking the law. But lets not split hairs and argue legal definitions. We can change the term "breaking the law" with "driving like a brainless bell-end" and the statement is completely accurate.

[@willieckaslike]

Something which never ceases to amaze me is the pillock who while so OBVIOUSLY is in the wrong, yet convinces him/her self they are in the right. The bloke in the light car who first overtook the dark one, then stopped in a dangerous place to 'mouth off' the dark car driver for being in the right, being a classic example. As is the pregnant & gobby tart who really needs to learn to drive properly considering she has the extra responsibility of kids in the car !

Clip 28 It isn't the responsibility of the person (trucker) already on the road to make room for you. The driver doesn't have to move over. Those lines are the same as at a T junction ie you don't just drive straight out and expect everyone to stop for you.

[@ChrisAndCats]

It's standard practice in UK to move over to let a merging vehicle join unless there's traffic to the right preventing you from doing so. It aids the flow of traffic and reduces risk of collision on the slip road. To not move over when you safely can is acting like an arsehole for no reason. However that doesn't justify any of this brake checking stopping nonsense either.

[@cigmorfil4101]

@@ChrisAndCats More to the point, would the man on the Clapham Omnibus consider: A) someone who could move over and did, to be driving with consideration towards you, another road user?

#13 the cammer car is in the wrong on this one. The sign at 9:13 clearly shows that both right lanes can be used for the A5(E) so the camera car should have gone into the 4th lane. that said, the lane markings are slightly wrong as the 2nd lane didn't have A5 written on it, only having A38 listed but if you look on google maps now, it has both A38 and A5 written on the 2nd lane. With all that said though it does excuse the other cars stupid retaliation.

[@Th1s1sMyChanne1Name]

[@pashakdescilly7517]

I had not heard of the term before either. I pass them and then cut across to the left lane. Sadly they never move over, but I make the point. In the case of clip #21, the car driver who appears at 16:52 uses the middle lane correctly, but moves over to the right lane to block the van driver, then slows down. When the van driver moves over to the middle lane to avoid the blocking move, the car driver again positions himself in front of the van. Both moves come into the category of dangerous driving. Any police officer seeing that would immediately pull the car driver over. Is there an accepted term for a driver who dodges from lane to lane to block another driver in this manner? I am calling it 'lane dancing', but want to know if another term exists.

[@ColourRiot]

[@DessieTots]

The cammer at 51:00 is wrong in blocking a lane. The Highway Code states that in these situations BOTH lanes are to be used ALL THE WAY up to merging point.

[@tinyrodent2821]

6:00 - Definitely not to condone the actions of the civic driver. It was a bad place to double overtake in any car, let alone one which lacks that much power. But in regards to "these people are in such a rush". I whole-heartedly disagree. I often drive the A57 Snake Pass road and often I just enjoy the drive. This road looks very similar in regards to the surroundings, so it's probably a 50/60mph road, and the cammer and the car in front are clearly well under that (doesn't condone overtaking on a blind corner). I would have waited for a much better place to overtake, but I think it's incorrect to assume that most people like to drive quicker than others simply because they want to get somewhere quicker. 8:51 - Looks like a vape/E-Cig, from their reaction time I'd assume they were distracted either trying to use it, or filling it up. 25:00 - Ignoring the obviously worse driver. That's some great lane management from the cam car /s. This is why our motoroways are so terrible for traffic, you are clearly not catching that van in the first lane anytime soon, so move over and stop forcing people into the 3rd lane. 37:40 - "barge in" bit embarrassing from the editor here. The BMW has the absolute right of way through the fact that he was ahead of the clio at a merging point. The clio tried to close the gap on them. The BMW driver ends up being a typical BMW driver though and immediately becomes the knob in the clip. 50:00 - Absolute embarrassment for the cammer in this one. Submitting this tells me one thing, you think you are right. Read up on the highway code for using merge lanes especially at road construction. You are committing a traffic offence by failing to maintain your lane, and statistically you are making the traffic worse by preventing 2 lanes of moving traffic to merge. But yet again, another BMW driver being a BMW driver and becoming the knob of the clip.

[@eddherring4972]

#3 part 1 all lanes are marked that exit 2 is permitted so the cammer puts themselves in that position. There seems to be an assumption where many people believe that the car behind has priority, as is generally known a vehicle rear ending another vehicle it is the vehicle behind which is usually found at fault (not always). However on this occasion the cammer is definitely at fault. Obviously in the second clip the vehicle cutting in is at fault however I feel the cammer is more upset at not being able to find the right gear than with the manoeuvre! 🤣

[@marth3116]

Clip #80 at 51:30 This happens on a route I commute through approximately twice a week. There are long term road works and alternating lane closures on one strech of 40mph dual carriageway. From entering that strech of road there is usual around 300/400 yards of road where both lanes are open and in the past few months I've been stuck behind the same BMW X5 who delights in riding the white line preventing people from using a perfectly good open lane before the merge. I cannot wrap my head around how people can be so entitled, and have such sense of self importance that they believe they have the right to control how others use the road, especially as the only tangible effect their actions have taken is to increase congestion and make hundreds of other peoples days worse. The BMW driver is probably just as fustrated by the actions of that complete wanker as everyone else but actually said something about it. Personally I think he did the right thing to challenge the cammer but didn't do so effectively.

[@ThatHistoryGeek0]

Hi Mate, in regards to the question of clip #25, and as someone who works in Traffic Management, my standpoint is that the Blue fiesta is in the wrong. There are wicket boards placed at 800, 600, 400 and 200 yards to show that a lane is closed. For all those travelling in the lane that's got a closure on, it is your responsibility to make sure that you move over when possible in a safe and timely manner. The best bet for drivers who come across this as to treat it as if the lane closure is like a lane merge, and as prior stated, as with a merge lane, you should never, ever leave it to the last minute or the beginning of the taper to merge into traffic. The 610 barrier boards should not be your indication as to when to merge. Well done though to the cammer for handling the situation with due care and attention, I feel many people may have potentially caused an accident in that situation or put others in harm's way, but handled really well and accordingly.

[@Aaron-yg5dg]

The lorry blocked the lane because of soo many drivers ignoring the signs, 800 yrds, 600 yrds...200 yrds and want to overtake the queue from the left then cut/force in at the very last minute. This is the matter what causing the jam and dangerous as well.

[@stephenwalker6823]

I always merge early for these things - but the Department of Transport specifically say that ALL lanes should be used and then traffic should merge in turn ... presumably to minimise the length of the traffic queue and not tail back to a previous junction/roundabout, etc. causing problems there.

[@gshzybhh]

The law says fully use all lanes and merge in turn. The overtaking car passed the car in front and was stopped from merging by the other driver undertaking and preventing him. You always get the "lane police" driving dangerously, I presume they've never read the highway code.

[@Aaron-yg5dg]

@@gshzybhh I think most drivers passed their test for a reason. They are at least opening the Highway Code...But seriously, what the Law say and what is the reality is very far from each other. You are right about the Law but 8 out of 10 drivers are ignoring the 8-4-200 yards signs and they do not merge in turn. Instead, they are overtaking those who already joined and forcing themselves into the lane at the very last moment or wherever they find a gap. That caused the jam. In fact - as their lane is empty - they fly down to the merging point making dangerous manoeuvres and forcing others to slam their brake. That is why the lorry blocked that lane. Not legal, but effective against the jam and those who also ignore the Law and the signs.

Water in your exhaust is better than breaking your pistons by trying to compress water. It's preferable to just find an alternative route, or just go slow enough to not cause it to spill over.

[@ItzJNazz]

Clip #19 at 16:00 Cammer is equally at fault for making the situation worse, along with the white car passing on the right for also making it worse. Yes yes the drivers merging should've done better, but considering the vans were both stubborn the cammer could've easily moved over after the white car passed on the right. Besides, the merging lane has 1 other very important purpose, which is to speed up and match the flow of traffic which the light blue car in front of the vans did none of. Horrible driving by everyone in the clip. Do better.

[@kierachantellebonker]

The cammer has right of way and is not obligated to change their speed or to make a maneuver for the cars merging. It's entirely the smaller white vans responsibility to merge safely while considering the other vehicles merging alongside him and also the vehicle already on the main part of the road. He put the cammer at risk. There might have been another vehicle in the next lane going quite fast so the cammer couldn't change lanes or that they were turning off at the next junction and wouldn't have enough time to get back into the correct lane. Merging cars have to merge safely and join the road when safe, not the other way around where the main road car changes how they are driving to allow a car to merge. Even watching the clip back you can see there was in fact a black mini that had to unsafely move out of the way of the cammers car into the fast lane so not to collide with the cammer. The cammer did what they could. The smaller white van should've reduced their speed and merged behind the larger white van and then overtaken them when safe. The ideology that a merging car has priority to merge into oncoming traffic causes many collisions in the UK. If there is no room to merge slow down, and don't expect the other cars to slow down or change lanes for you because that's not what they are supposed to do. They can if done safely but don't force them to as seen in this video!

If somebody clearly doesn't know where they're going then give them some space to figure it out. The second one you could see coming and the cammer either wasn't paying attention or tried to teach him a lesson by getting immediately up his ar*e. I don't know why people take chances with much larger vehicles. The highway code doesn't protect you from the laws of nature: move for bigger things that can easily crush you

[@Imanc]

#58, 39:29 just wondering if that video is being looked at, will the fact that the phone in the cammers car started ringing be considered against the cammer albeit the fault is entirely with the Honda?

[@et3rn1ty80]

He/she would definitely be distracted by looking at the phone/centre console screen to see who was calling or pressing an answer button but even so I can’t see the driver getting any blame for it because the Honda driver didn’t wait till it was clear. Good point though. P.S sorry for being five months late to the party

[@paulm1162]

quite frankly i am amazed at your analysis of the accident at 31.20 where the car cut straight across the front of the lorry, a driver is meant to be aware of what is around them at all times and when it is your vehicle that will suffer i find it strange that some ppl these days would rather have a crash than do the right thing just to prove some imaginary point

[@rayevans688]

I know that tipper company...they actually employ a driver who is an alcoholic..

[@robertdavies922]

Yes - there are a good few of those in this video. The cam drivers, in quite a few instances, have sufficient and sometimes ample opportunity to simply lift off the accelerator and exercise some caution. I'd rather let someone be a fool, and avoid a collision entirely than have to go through an insurance claim. The mind boggles.

[@vahvahdisco]

26:57 - that’s why it’s always preferable to honk your horn when on single lane country lanes near blind corners !

[@JHJHJHJHJH]

Yeah, that's literally what it's for but people only seem to use it in anger. Then when you give a toot for a legitimate reason, people act like you just insulted their kids. Haha.

[@ElliottParkinson]

Don't do that. It's inconsiderate and is a nuisance. Just drive properly. There's a simple rule, if you cannot stop in the distance you see to be clear, you're driving too fast. Just because the limit is national speed limit doesn't mean going 60 isn't an utterly stupid thing to do. National speed limit means use your brain, some places 10 mph is as safe as you can travel.

[@JHJHJHJHJH]

@@ElliottParkinson Neither of us said drive at 60 mph towards a blind corner. Just because you can stop in the distance you see to be clear doesn't mean the other driver can. If someone else is approaching the corner too fast, honking makes them aware that you're there. It's what the horn is for.

[@ElliottParkinson]

@@JHJHJHJHJH honking your horn isn't going to make them slow down there. Idiots going too fast are still idiots. What it will do is scare the livestock, and piss off everyone who loves there because the non locals don't know how to drive and keep waking up shift workers. If you're unable to drive a single track road without honking your horn all the time, you shouldn't be driving them. Get some more lessons first so you are comfortable.

[@HueMongussD]

CLIP #77 @ 50:00 There was only one person at fault. the person that cut off the car that hit the wall. It doesn't matter if they are going 100mph. Only make a lane change when it's safe to do so. A vehicle should be be made to slow for another entering their lane. This is the result.😵‍💫🤪

[@johnjephcote7636]

27:14. Those generous width two-lane roads are as frightening as the old three-lane roads. i have one going from the A1, eastwards towards Lincoln. Whatever the speed limit it seems to be 'go as fast as you like and no holds barred for overtaking'; really scary.

[@mrcellophane99]

#11 - I blame the on coming car for creating too big a bow wave.

[@BigDavie2000]

Yeah, ideally the oncoming car should have waited until it's oncoming traffic had passed the flood. However it can be quite hard to determine the depth of water especially in the dark.

[@stevekenilworth]

@@BigDavie2000 if i was trapped both sides so i had to go through flood water as that only reason id ever go through a flooded road , then i would not give oncoming traffic the chance to go as i will use all the road so they have to wait or risk head on at the very least it slows the oncoming car reduces risk of killing your engine

[@eirebhoy132]

@@stevekenilworthI’m sure some absolute idiot would plough through forcing the water into the intake anyway to try and force you to move over and let them past, be curious to know if they’d be liable for the damage as I’d assume they would as their actions caused the damage accidental or not.

I'm sure the guy at 20:12 was in the right. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't those lanes meant to be merge lanes. It could just be lanes in towns and not motorways. Could someone clarify?

[@HueMongussD]

Please! in the future, do not pause the video. I'm not remotely interested in reading the words on the screen. If people want to read it, they can pause the video themselves.

[@Cobalt-Jester]

I've been a professional driver for about 10 years... Here is some advice for all you new drivers. If you are in a different town then approach junctions slowly if you need to make a lane change then make sure you put your indicator on in plenty of time, 9 times out of 10 a decent person will notice that you are trying to get into the correct lane and let you in. Don't just pull out and veer across 2 lanes of a roundabout... There was a sign post and road markings 200 yards back.

[@DashDrones]

0:40 cammer was going too fast when there's lots of young cyclists on the road. Clearly that kid was going to pull out..

[@oliverghunter]

Lol, I thought that too! The on-screen text is wrong and contradicts itself. The pickup shouldn't have pulled out, sure, but the car driver had loads of time to slow down, he just chose to keep driving at the same speed to prove he was in the right, then was too close to be able to stop when the truck braked. Was it worth it? I guess not...

[@ericaedwards8294]

Had a moment today with a twit that decided to move into my lane on a busy roundabout that is quite clearly signed on road. I stamped on my horn as he didn’t indicate but thought he was entitled. I gave him what for re not using indicators and he started shouting… ha ha just turned my music up and let him rant. I can’t hear you 😂😂😂

[@michaelmccr3294]

4:47 it's no one fault about the tree as I fell down plus the driver that went through it didn't have enough time nor distance to brake as the road conditions are wet

[@redwarpy]

Until these reckless drivers get caught and have consequences for their idiocy on the road they will not change. 26:45 The old way of driving around blind corners was to blow your horn to let anyone coming the other way to be aware that a car was coming.

[@drewwyatt1274]

Funny little story for you. They used to do this in the Alps too. Many years ago I was there with my parents, and what sounded like a train horn sounded. Every one got as far over as they could, and a classic mini came round the bend with massive air horns on the roof.

His car should be confiscated and crushed, preferably with him in it, drives dangerously, supposedly in a hurry,yet finds time to stop in middle of the road to complain at another driver, sadly to many have same attitude these days.

[@devilslotz2798]

Clip 25: I would have slowed down to check the intention's of the merging car on the right, but would have overtaken the car with caution purely because it stopped after they failed to merge, im not stopping in a live lane on the motorway for anyone, he can merge when its clear.

[@michaelmccr3294]

52:11 right first off that truck or lorry is clearly at fault as the left lane is a zip merge lane for work going on and its illegal to block it off as that highway code says you have to use both lanes and left lane merges. This a massive clear indication that 90% of uk knows this but doesn't want to allow it so they play the dangerous game and try to enforce there rules

[@stephenwalker6823]

#19, at the end of that slip-road, it turns off and is immediately followed by another slip-road to the M60 clockwise. Drivers already on the road cannot pull over to help merging traffic, as they are then unable to get back over in time for the junction that they need.

[@edwardhiggs7671]

If a tree falls on your car, who is responsible? 2 blames potentially. 1. - Natural event - No-one is responsible. 2. - HGV/Bus strike on a low hanging branch - Will be either the property owner or the local council. Most likely the council, although they will ALWAYS try and pin blame on someone else despite it being their responsibility - Then again, when do councils and government ever take responsibility?! xD

[@PcGamerKenpachi]

18:30 That's why you have a rear-facing dashcam. 23:53 it's a learner driver so you should be ready for them to make that sort of mistake. 31:15 Are you sure your caption is correct? The straight ahead also includes the A36 exit, so the lorry was entirely in the right.

[@JHJHJHJHJH]

33:38 (#46) - In order to have hit the wrong pedal, they would have had to have take their foot off the accelerator they were already using and move it to the brake pedal. I don't see how that's possible for a competent road user to do by accident.

31:01 Yeah it's the lorries fault but you could see that from a mile away, that's why the van in front didn't make the turn, instead he indicated right and most likely went round the roundabout again.

#17 I was always told running into the back of somebody is always at least 50% your fault because you should always be ready to emergency stop. The cammer was either on his phone or deliberately crashed to punish because he had plenty of time to stop. He would have been slowing for the line of traffic in front anyway
