My grandfather always called careless drivers Sunday drivers and now I am amazed how many Sundays there are in the week😂

[@DaveHines1]

No, they started on Sunday, it’s just they’re so bad, they still haven’t got home yet 😃🤣😜

[@JustmeandB]

@@DaveHines1good answer 😂😂

[@AndrewWhite-fu7bn]

'Sunday Drivers'. They are the breed that are not particularly bad drivers but they are SLOW drivers. Taking the family out for a drive at the weekend involved no speeding, wrong lane, pushing in or mini roundabouts but motoring at the speed of a tortoise - or slower - was the desired forward projection. My dad was one for a 'leisurely trip around the countryside' before returning home for a vast Sunday roast dinner.

It was Herve Villechaize, who also played Nick Nack in the Bond film The Man With The Golden Gun.

[@knightowl3577]

It's an Austin A35, it was in production from 1956 until 1968.

[@kevinrayner5812]

I had no idea that they went on that long.

[@Graham_Langley]

A30 going by the grille and lack of indicators - you can't see the rear window which would confirm it. Produced 1952 to 1956. The A35 took over and was produced to 1968 which surprised me.

[@user-jo9xx2hk1t]

My Grandfather had the A30, which had a tiny rear window.

[@Graham_Langley]

@@user-jo9xx2hk1t That's the most obvious difference between the A30 and the A35 which had a much larger rear window.

[@blxtothis]

Might actually be an A30 which had trafficators, this one doesn’t appear to have the orange indicators between the headlights and bumper, difficult to see the rear window which would clinch it as an A35 though. The earlier A30 had a much smaller almost crescent shaped window and no flashers, the later A35 also had a much wider, lozenge shape semi-wrap around rear window.

[@melissanewton7462]

Just been to Cornwall. Nightmare back roads. Even the normal two way roads are narrow. Why must we have roads like this at all?????

[@PaulFisher-uj9vb]

@@melissanewton7462 we drive these roads every day without a problem,just be prepared to reverse for half a mile and expect scratches on your paintwork.

[@sf2201]

@@melissanewton7462 The majority of roads in Devon are the same, as per the original post its pretty common to have both wing mirrors touching the hedges in even a relatively small car, many of the A roads are like the roads at the beginning at 1.25minutes and a 60mph limit so long as everyone stays tight to the hedge its normally alright, meeting a 40 tonne truck involves rubbing the hedge, locals just get on with it. Its now getting into tourist season so we can expect to see camper vans and caravans having to be dragged out of some place and a good collection of wing mirrors on the road from drivers who have no idea how wide their vehicle is. Some people have no idea how to reverse either so often it is quicker to reverse 150m than expect someone else often a tourist to reverse 5m.

[@markdyson4332]

Another great video Tony. Always fun to take passengers from North America down our country roads in Kent, especially the ones with high banks & trees over the top - in my experience they can't believe what is happening - "how do you know who has to go backwards" is the usual question

[@OldBaron5664]

It's a wonder that the last clip that vehicle was not pulled up (A) insecure load (B) the indicator that is considered a construction and use act and M,O,T failure. Some of the police officers who served with my late father used to say find one fault go over the vehicle with a fine tooth comb and see how many more you can find. One thing I was always taught that if there is the possibility of missing the junction you need go up to the next either turn around or find another route any Sat-nav will automatically recalculate the route

[@raynordefoubert9753]

Hi Tony, This has to be the best commentary yet...you forgot to leave the link for the wax lol And if you'll excuse me now I have to clean the tea off the computer screen ffs

[@sunnybnk]

The "waxed" Range Rover was just following the example that had been set by the Audi already parked facing the traffic.

[@johndilloway9762]

If somebody manufactured the wax, I could honestly see a lot of certain car drivers actually buying it because it must be special if it's specifically for their brand of car, and not realising they mostly dont need it, they are already dickheads.😂

Still a short supply of manners and common sense, you could make a fortune on that - "The Common Sense Body Spray" or "Eua de Manners". The last guy even though it was a bit of fun, didn't have a net/cover over his load, very naughty.

[@DizzyDooDar]

21:40 - Remember the old Toyota adverts? "The car in front is a Toyota".

[@AndrewWhite-fu7bn]

But in those bygone times it was true. At the time the Corolla was the best selling automobile in the WORLD. Bar none,

[@MichaelWillby]

Corolla only sold so many because Toyota kept the name going longer than other makers did. I see plenty of old ford's on the road but no old Toyotas Hondas or other japs.

[@richardwoolnough4081]

As aways, a quality video. Thank you Tony. I have just had a week covering for Avonmouth down in (surprise) the west country, and had to use single track roads like your example.... great fun with a 3.5. ton Renault Master based long wheel base van... keep up the good work bud, cheers from Richard in Worthing 👍👌😎

[@Madness832]

In the country road part, I was picturin' some guy, drivin' down there, in a huge, 1970s American road barge (e.g. a Cadillac).

[@OldeJanner]

Londoners moving to the westcountry has ruined our roads, they treat them like they were a Disney park and go at 20mph tops or keep going when oncoming traffic stop and cause a cork into bottle routine and expect others to reverse for them!

[@andreashaynes3346]

Many thanks for sharing this entertaining video Tony. That’s made my Monday afternoon!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jamielee-hill449]

As a film actor, I'm pretty sure I recognise that on six minutes, that's a film location where the white trucks are turning. Those are the kind of trucks they use for film equipment such as lighting. The TMFT on the little pink sign will be the initials of the production.

[@cliveadams7629]

Thise narrow country roads are where you find out how few people can reverse a car without ending up in a bush

[@Sackbladder]

1:32 I drive my coach regularly round your way Tony. Sutton Holiday Inn Express is my second home. Everything is correct, but I love seeing THAT roundabout on here. And the mad mile is exactly that. The good thing thing is I can get a Morleys takeaway. We don't get them up North! Keep the videos coming mate - somebody has to fly the flag for decent drivers.

[@ritchieblackmore5204]

I was a agricultural contractor before I retired, I hate these single track roads EXCEPT when I was driving my big f*** off tractor 🤣

[@glennlingard7851]

The trouble is that city people who you meet on these narrow roads have no idea how to deal with it, some can’t even bloody reverse, and if you confront them, then you become the problem with them!

[@Jiayne1335]

Very entertaining as usual .Especially on the country roads.

[@daviemac9925]

Dee Plane Boss, Fantasy Island! I had an Aldi tailgater today, first chance it got overtook and roaring off. There's a Lay by and cars are notorious for pulling out, one pulled out bingo! He ended up in the Lay by up the grass bank, damn didn't have the dashcam on I know you'd have enjoyed that as much as I did.

[@michelguevara151]

as for 'taught incorrectly', I lost count of the number of 'instructors' that would tell their pupils "it's just a bike, ignore him". this is probably why a lot of cyclists and motorcyclists get hit by new drivers. I allways used to lean in and tell the pupil, "pay attention to every road user, you don't want to be reponsible for hospitalizing someone, do you?"

[@mikehipperson]

My driving instructor, some 50 odd years ago, told me in no uncertain terms that I was now in charge of a potentially lethal weapon!

[@johnbarham7718]

I have and drive a big cylinder mower, 8ft 6"" wide when "folded" up. The roads round us are like that lane. The number of cars, including locals who will never give way. I just stop and wait. Especially when they have just passed a wider bit.

Spare a thought for the gritter drivers, some of the roads are so small that the mirrors are hitting hedgerows both sides of the road and these can go for miles. You're 100% correct, it's only a few drivers that should never go on these roads.

[@patrickh7368]

There is an arched bridge around the corner from my workplace, 90% vehicles go through fine… because there is a sign up “high sided vehicles use the middle of the road” you tend to get certain drivers suddenly swerve their range rovers into the middle into a collision course after noticing this sign 🙄

[@thelondondashcam]

😂

[@michelguevara151]

I loved these sorts of roads when I lived in britain, absolutely wonderful. then I came back to france and noticed two things ; the roads are far wider, apart from in little medieval villages, and driving standards are awful. tailgaiting and overtaking tailgaiters are the major cause of collisions here.

[@steveaustin4118]

[@user-jo9xx2hk1t]

Totally agree with your opening bit of philosophy. Why the hell create traffic jams on an otherwise clear piece of road. It's a blight that spans the length and breadth of the country and also creates more pollution. Bloody crazy.

Those 'narrow' roads in the second clip are normal wide roads where I live. We also have boar, deer and sheep on ours.

Here in the wet west country we have lots of small lanes and the people use our village as a rat run to avoid traffic. The drivers on the narrow lanes bomb down them at 50+ and you are forced off the road by them sometimes and my boss gets pissed when his Bentley has to drive up the grass verge🤣🤣

Those country lanes are the sort I learnt to drive on down here in Devon, They're easy enough until either the A30 or A38 gets closed and then hundreds of people who aren't that sure about that type of road start using them to detour around

[@ianemery2925]

You are really lucky you didnt encounter a berk in a Merc on those narrow country lanes; I did many years ago. The road was single width for 500+ metres, with one pull-in 100m in from my direction; then it opened out into 2 full sized lanes for another 100m before meeting an A road. I was well past the pull-in when the berk pulled off of the main road, drove along the two lane section - drove ONE FUCKING CAR LENGTH into the single width lane, then started tooting at me to back up; as by that point I had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting her. So I applied the hand brake, switched off the engine and picked up the paperback I always keep in the car. It took her a good 10 minutes of tooting and screaming at me, but she did eventually back up and let me through.

[@TrevorDavis-b1z]

Fantasy Island was the name

[@rodmcleod4805]

Very philosophical at the beginning. In the Highlands and islands of Scotland on the numerous narrow roads they have regular and clearly marked"passing places".It works very well. Do beemers have their own special self entitlement cream?

[@nemesismcc]

I have seen so many cars towing trailers/caravans where the lighting is all cocked up, does no one ever do the mandatory light check before towing, The wiring for said trailers/caravans is and has been industry standard for many years now, and in most modern cars they have a block connector for the wiring harness, how hard is it to follow simple instructions for wiring up a tow hitch electrics ? and there are even tools to plug in and assist you in making sure they are correct before you tow. PS also some HGV's have trailer light issues too

I think those pinch points at the beginning are traffic calming measures to slow down the traffic to ensure it keeps the the 20 mph limit. But I guess that it did anything but calm you down!!! It's not only creating traffic that is annoying, but it is the slowing down and then speeding up and it is this that causes pollution. 20 mph in populated areas is a good idea as you are more likely to go at an even speed and hence create less pollution that is limit is 30 and you keep going from 30 to 10 and then back to 30 again.

First video, I call them bus stops or chicanes (that's what they are called on race tracks) council fit them as a traffic calming measure. My guess is people use it to speed through as a shortcut.
