If you have it on camera and someone tries to get you on a scam just say "ok, lets get the police over and get details sorted" let them make their statement to the police, signed and THEN mention you have a camera this will land them in far more trouble and actually get them off the streets for a day

[@MDP1702]

exactly, if you say you have it on camera, they'll likely just leave and try it with someone else. If it is on their police file that they already tried such scams, they'll have more difficulty doing that in the future. And it doesn't really help if you go to the police afterwards, considering it be pretty difficult to identify a cyclist, police likely wouldn't even attempt it then.

Yep, HGV pointlessly in the wrong lane at Sketchley Lane and this has potentially started a fair bit further back. '07 plate on a white HGV makes it too old for regular running but DPD have two depots along that stretch of the A5 and use older tractor units for shuttle work between them. I often see them being driven really badly, so I'd say that this is a likely suspect and TBH, brake-checking a 44 tonner is a truly crap plan, so the final outcome does seem to have a certain inevitability to it.

@Kris Nicholson No - that situation is what we have now, and while you might drive with courtesy, many people don't. I drive and I cycle, and I can tell you from experience that things needed to change. Pedestrian and cyclist deaths have actually risen in the UK for the first time in years. All these changes do is put the onus on the users of the vehicles that do the most damage to ensure they look out for the safety of more vulnerable roads users - it won't mean cyclists or pedestrians can just do what they like.

[@goodguykonrad3701]

2:53 Clip 5 could probably benefit from our cammer trying to drive in a staggered formation. The Mazda driver should have known better and gone the wrong way for their journey instead of driving dangerously, but good drivers accommodate for the poor driving of others. If our cammer had kept the Mazda in front of them but in the left lane, it would have been easier to brake and let them continue round instead of essentially needing to swerve to avoid. People miss road markings and signs, especially when following a SatNav unsure of what to be looking out for. People who get confused or are in the wrong lane should only try to change their course if it is safe to do so, and go the wrong way if they cannot, but many view the route they need to go as absolute and will see any risk as necessary to stay on track. Always drive safe, even if it results in you being a little late, very late, or completely missing whatever it is you're getting to. Very often, driving dangerously to make work or an appointment doesn't save time at all. Traffic calming measures like lights, speed bumps, and roundabouts will often render your increased speeds or risk taking ultimately useless. It might make a difference on dual carriageways and motorways, but there runs the added risk that any meaningful increase in speed will result in being caught and fined, maybe even being delayed further by being stopped. Overall, there aren't really any situations where you can save meaningful time on a journey without a high risk of repercussions

I agree, each vehicle (including bikes) is entitled to its lane and may need to move unexpectedly to the left or right edge of that lane to say avoid debris , they don't need the headache of a biker weaving close to their car as they infringe on the tight gap.

[@alexheeley4048]

Watching these videos and reading the comments people have left prove exactly why people should be made to regularly retake their tests. Half can’t even look after themselves, let alone be in control of a vehicle capable of causing devastating consequences.

[@ajlifesolutions7072]

I would hate getting stuck in a queue of traffic on the fast lane of the motorway. Avoid queues at all costs! Shocking that all the traffic didn’t really slow down passing them! 😡 So dangerous being a cyclist on the roads too!

[@goodguykonrad3701]

I mean, I don't want to start an argument but your use of the phrase "fast lane" is a little troubling. We see a motorway with three lanes, named lanes 1-3 going left to right. Lanes 2 and 3 are not fast lanes, they are just for overtaking. You should always try to move back over to the left when not overtaking anything in that lane. People all too often think they should remain in whatever lane their speed is suited for instead of responding dynamically to the traffic with overtaking and finding gaps. Anyway, hope you're doing well. The fact that your watching videos like this and commenting suggests that you are interested in improving your driving, which is the most important thing. And you're absolutely right, the traffic in the other lanes was moving too quickly for queuing traffic in lane 3

I was in a company vehicle and managed to stop in a similar situation but the guy behind me slammed me into the car in front. The insurance company split the blame between all of the vehicles involved (about five from memory) except the leading one.

[@umbrellaman08]

The first clip was a complete shocker and I’m glad the toddler is safe. Thank goodness there wasn’t anyone speeding or any white vans/lorry passing by. I’m still shocked that a guardian took that long to find the toddler, hopefully, social services don’t take the kid away from their legal guardians.

[@goodguykonrad3701]

I think it'd be unlikely that the kid would be taken away on this incident alone. If the parents/guardians are advised not to leave the kid with this individual in future, they ignore it, and the kid is found on the roads again, I think that would constitute grounds for some level of intervention

[@cheeseburgerbeefcake]

Really good idea from the cyclist who called out the reg plate clearly and using phonetics to ensure they would be able to confirm it later if the video was unsuitable; also a good personal calming measure because you can vocalise something that you know you can use later as evidence.

[@mctrials23]

The second one was depressingly un-phased by the closeness of that pass by a god knows how many tonne hunk of metal. Thats a man that has had that happen to him hundreds of times.

[@TheDelism]

5:58 I'm not a fan of cyclopaths but fuck! That truck was far too close!

[@Scoupe400]

Not just that. But nobody is allowed to overtake on the zig zag lines approaching & leaving a crossing.

[@raynaharvey455]

8:14 was not 50/50. He saw the guy indicate and decided to pass anyway, got nothing to do with "misjudging" on the car drivers part.

[@ChrisAndCats]

Definitely - the car was indicating and about to move over into the gap from when the bike was way back. Bike decided to accelerate and go anyway, cutting car off in process - not a 50/50 at all.

[@stevenharrison9257]

#9 please don't use the footpath; I understand why you would be tempted to use it to feel safer but it's called a footpath for a reason. If you encounter me whilst riding on the footpath, I'll force you to stop/into the road (& I'm a big lad!). I'm a cyclist & driver, so I appreciate both aspects. The truck driver in your clip was totally out-of-order. As a former driving instructor, I taught my pupils to allow cyclists as much space as a parked car; good instruction given the new highway code rules.

[@DraftySatyr]

Not sure I support the confrontational approach but understand where you are coming from. There are quite a few cyclists in my area who feel entitled to take refuge on the pavement but then employ the same intimidatory and bullying tactics toward pedestrians they claim to be escaping from.

[@ironicz123]

2:29 it's hard to call wether a brake check or not there are no laws stating you can't stop at a round about if there are no cars on the round about, lorry user shouldn't have been driving irraticly as well as so close to the car infront

[@CED99]

Jeez - the woman in clip two is going to hate motorways even more after that! They ended up in lane one of the motorway they had just come off, lucky they didn't get collected!

[@Alan_Clark]

7:11 Absolutely idiotic driving by the cammer! First, he is too close to the car in front on the sliproad. Then there was absolutely no need to move out of lane 1, but instead he moves across THREE lanes, and with no more than one signal! He says he fully checked his mirrors, but failed to see the car that undertook him moments later! He also overtook a car that was moving into lane 2 (who also failed to see the fast car), assuming that he would not also move into lane 3. When you get onto a motorway you should stay in lane 1, cancel the indicator, assess the situation, and only then consider a lane change.

[@Scoupe400]

Normally. Yep. I’m sure a lot of people will berate the BMW, but it remains a that the points you make are valid. Although if we take the cammer text as true, then it’s possible the BMW was simply under cutting rather than being in lane 3 or 2 and having to brake , swerve etc. That said, still every chance the BMW gathered pace quicker, and is something we all have to be aware of before pulling out ourselves.

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

I do hope that the dash cam driver in the last video, @9.20 in the video, reported the old fella to the police for his driving and for everyone else's sake. OK! So he was _old and confused,_ but next time it could have been a kid walking across the road so _old and confused_ wouldn't look quite so good in the eyes of a judge when in court for charges of manslaughter! 🤔

[@iamjoestafford]

Totally agree. My elderly neighbour just forced her husband to stop driving and sell the car because she said he was unsafe to be on the roads - he was dead against the idea, but it's definitely the correct decision. He accidentally reversed their caravan into their house last year!

Pause the video at 1:01 and look at the front of the lorry cab, in the middle, just above the windscreen. See that bit sticking out? Big ole mirror that shows the entire front area ahead of the lorry. The only way that lorry driver didn't see that car, was because the driver did not check that mirror. The car was not in a blind spot, because that mirror would have very clearly shown them to the driver; if the lorry driver had been competent and done their basic mirror checks before trying to change lanes.
