UK Bad Drivers & Driving Fails Compilation | UK Car Crashes Dashcam Caught (w/ Commentary)

1:20 I never understand how cars and HGV blast at full speed on single lane country roads. Just because you are allowed to drive 60, doesn't mean you should.

[@goodyeoman4534]

I can understand it perfectly. He's a bully used to smaller vehicles giving his HGV a wide berth thereby encouraging his bad driving. And when he meets a vehicle his own size, so to speak, he s**** himself.

[@JSmith19858]

50. 50 max same as vans. It was 40 and maybe it should have be kept at 40 for single track roads, although I wouldn't be doing 30 there. He just met as big an idiot coming the other way

[@MikeJones-iq7gj]

Both of those lorries were driving far too quickly, you got better able to stop before a collision if it happened

[@chunkyfecalbreakfast]

National speed limit does not mean you should do 60, you must drive for the road and conditions

#9 Are you serious? You shot up his arse, sat close to him then decide to overtake on a crossing and then cut him up? All because he filtered to the front and hurt your feelings.

[@juncusbufonius]

Yup illegal overtake on zigzags. Bad driver blaming other for their crimes.

[@frodev728]

#9's cammer's a dick

[@theshadow2576]

the motorcyclist was basically saying to stay away from his backend. 2 second rule.

[@wagmiorngmi]

#15 as we say up here in god's country : either s*** or get off the pot. You were sat on his rear corner for 20 seconds matching his speed and making no effort whatsoever to overtake. If you're not going to overtake and get gone then stay behind instead of pissing the guy off and blocking him in when he needs to move out for slower vehicles/trucks etc.

[@Bercilakdehautdesert-yt1gd]

I like what I say and I'll bloody well say what I like! 🙂

[@thorin4406]

#9 - I never get brake checked. Must be something to do with the fact that I don't tailgate other motorists. Terrible overtake, deliberately cutting them up too? What a W⚓.

[@garyboyle695]

I've never had cancer. Must mean it doesn't exist.

[@thorin4406]

​@@garyboyle695 Brake checking exists, I didn't say that it doesn't. However, in 99% of situations it happens to people that have antagonised other road users in some way (like tailgating). The 1% is for the very rare situations where the brake checking occurs without any obvious reason. Let me rework your poor analogy (because comparing something avoidable to something that can happen to anyone is dumb): Lifelong smokers shouldn't be shocked when they get diagnosed with lung cancer.

[@baldbeardyandbiking6686]

​@@garyboyle695I ride a motorbike. Filtering to the front of traffic is legal. Tailgating a motorbike straight off the lights in we weather is dangerous. The bike flashed their brake light to ask the car to back off. They didn't, tailgate again then acted the victim when they overtook the bike. That vid made the car driver look the fool, not the biker.

[@markgambrill]

I'm not usually shocked by the cammers on here as many show the opposite of defensive driving. This one took me by surprise. Why would you tailgate so close and then push past? Crazy driving!!

[@ColinWatters]

5:31 #11 At first I thought that the cammer was at fault but it looks like the road layout is poorly designed.

[@davenunn7259]

Well he did lump the lights. Red and amber means get ready to go

[@mrfust]

#10 No, it was the Luton van pulling onto the roundabout which nearly caused the accident…

[@TheStu9000]

which is a Merc

[@throwaway-ld3th]

Yeah that took me a sec to realise the van is Mercedes too. Idk if the uploader meant the van tho.

[@flanger890]

in fairness the mercedes indication was misleading, he shouldn't have indicated to leave the first mini (especially as late as he does) as it would mislead anyone waiting at the second mini for a chance to go.

[@gilestennick3861]

@@flanger890 the white merc is in the correct road position to be turning right. The luton van is totally at fault here, zero excuses people! If the road is not definitely clear then dont risk it, assuming that the merc might be turning left wont be a defence in court will it?!

The bit where the lorry ignores the height restrictions - and the cammers radio says 'unmissable moments'! 🤣

[@shm5547]

6:56 #14 should get a driving ban for a close pass on a cyclist like that, awful.

[@garyboyle695]

Unfortunately a lot of drivers don't care, they see cyclists as less than human and will justify their bad driving by saying all cyclists run red lights or think they own the road.

[@guitarman256]

#11 was obviously correct about the lane markings however, that doesn't mean they can drive through another car. Either they didn't look as they moved over or the did look and decided to make a point of their superiority in choosing the correct lanes. Better to account for another driver making a mistake than have to spend time arguing with the insurance company / police / whoever.

[@blacksheep1971]

#12 , all very well complaining about the Mercedes got to get ahead - was it really necessary for you to practically park your, lorry inside the boot of his car? Pretty childish!

[@richardkent]

That Mercedes is very convincingly disguised as a BMW.

[@jimmydesouza4375]

#11 It's wierd how little the police seem to know how to drive. I had 3 police cars, with their lights on (which means they no longer have to follow the speed limits) refuse to overtake me on a clear mile long road with no traffic in the other lane and no solid lane divider, then one of them pulls me over and tells me I should have come to a complete stop to let them all pass. On a completely clear mile long road. Apparently "We don't drive sports cars", says the guy in the 300 horsepower beamer.

[@pageant1fd]

90% of cammers are due an award as they have never made a mistake whilst driving which could of caused an accident, they are amazing. 🙄

[@IamNasman]

No. 6 radio seems a bit prophetic, lorry driver really felt the force.

[@slayr399]

#6 is presumably the result of the driver using a regular navigation app rather than a business one that accounts for height and width restrictions.

[@MeFreeBee]

#8 why would you risk passing him anyway, especially in a new car? Holding back takes 2 seconds out of your day.

[@Ottedikkie]

Passing? It's a roundabout with multiple lanes, every one of them going a different direction. It's not passing, it's following directions.

[@MazTheWizard]

@@Ottedikkie This exactly. People here really defending an idiot who can't stay in his lane, lmfao..

[@rickconstant6106]

@@MazTheWizard It's not a matter of defending the truck driver, who clearly cuts into the lane slightly, but questioning the wisdom of putting yourself in danger unnecessarily by trying to squeeze through a gap which is likely to close up. Being right is not as important as avoiding trouble.

[@unclesnakehips6810]

3:10 not saying the lorry should be cutting into your lane but it's sheer stupidity to go round a roundabout immediately adjacent to any large vehicle like that for that very reason, they're often longer than the curve of the roundabout and so end up in another lane even temporarily... try using some common sense/ observation skills and hang back slightly

[@norfener]

Overtaking lorries on a roundabout is always a bad idea

[@barrywhite5899]

3:46 why are you accelerating so close behind him. He’s slower to get away but is allowed in the box at the front of the queue. Just sit back.

[@louiem9382]

‘Had to get away from him’ too. Just couldn’t bare the thought of being overtaken/filtered past…

[@chunkyfecalbreakfast]

What the learner rider did was illegal but what the car driver did was homicidal small dick energy. You must not filter past the last vehicle at a crossing. Motorcycles also cannot use an ASL.

[@sleepingmorpheus]

5:20 Don't know why he'd even stop and bother telling them, the police don't know the law anymore and none of them know how to drive to the rules of the road. Just keep driving and if they decide to pull you over, then explain that you will file a complaint with the dash footage to show that the police pulled you over without just cause and failed to understand how to follow the very clear road signs and markings.

[@1984IsReality]

#6 I knew exactly where that was from the thumbnail. It is right on the outskirts of Middlewich in Cheshire, and when i worked in Crewe a few years back i used to take this road every week day and i have seen 2-3 HGV's destroy the top of their trailers on this bridge. It is well displayed both ways about the height restriction, and the roadsigns also warn of it too telling you the alternate route.

[@Needfornurburgring]

#9 you should not have a licence, the bike legally filtered, you then raced up his arse, bearing in mind he is a learner in the rain, then performed a dangerous overtake, cutting him off by inches. Tw@

[@stefanattrill8565]

4:13 I travel across the roundabout often from the A34, joining the M3 Southbound. I, too, have found many people don't read the markings on the road. Is it because they are using a SatNav, which takes focus away from actual driving? I have found that top-of-the-range BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, and Range Rovers always fail to demonstrate correct lane discipline.

I KNOW THE SIGNS TELL YOU WHAT LANE, I GET IT, but instead of risking another collision like you nearly do in this vid... maybe think ahead and use the roundabout a little more careful...

Mitigation for #6 not that there is much if the guy has a truck sat nav. The signs are not fit for purpose especially if it’s a lhd truck. The first sign is on the wrong side and facing slightly away and the second sign is covered in undergrowth. Other than that the driver is a dip💩.
