Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well! I hope you enjoy this latest compilation… Just a quick ask if you could help by subscribing to @littleharrydrifting channel. youtube.com/@littleharrydrifting?si=0-KEwfhe9uFOWpBp He is a family friend and is trying to push his channel with views and subscribers. Any watch and subscription will be an extreme help and I really appreciate it. Harry is a 12 year old drifter who is trying to enter more competitions and hopefully go international with his superb drifting skills! Have a great week. Best Regards UK Dash Cameras

First guy is in the wrong he is illegally overtaking!

[@ESkimOfficial]

2:10 J, I mean mate, you were going to overtake on a blind hill and corner coming up to a Junction. You would not have made that at all without cutting off the cyclist or having a close call with the approaching vehicle. You're at fault there bud.

[@Lukeno52]

They wouldn't even have been close to making it - the cyclist drifting out a bit is just the excuse they're using to save face. Plus the cyclist is perfectly entitled to sit in the middle of the lane if they want - you never know what they've potentially seen that might cause them problems on the inside of the road, after all.

didnt see any issue with this at all.. he pulled out safely to overtake, saw he couldnt and pulled back in.. whats the problem?? bit of a strange one really.

What I noticed is the keep left arrow in the middle of the road for oncoming traffic. Odd placement so close to the T Junction. That would point to that junction having a lot of corner-cutters coming from the left or/and wide-swingers coming from the right. Either way cyclist may have local knowledge and doesn't need an overtaker alongside.

[@summatsupeer85]

Cyclist shouldn't of had to "block" you J, it was a stupid attempt at an overtake, even if the cyclist hadn't moved 1 foot out you shouldn't of attempted it. Downhill into a junction with stopped vehicles with a car coming the other way, risky manoeuvre for no gain.

[@MrBigdasher]

Nick D, imagine being so close to a vehicle that was clearly about to parallel park and then not giving them the space to do so.

[@ExplodingCabbage]

I don't think it was "clearly" going to do that until it stopped, by which time Nick D was already blocking the parallel park. There was a turning ahead, a disabled bay ahead, and a pavement ahead with loads of cars parked on it. The left signal could've been indicating intent to go onto any of those instead of intent to parallel park. Yes, Nick ideally would've realised that the indicator was potentially indicating intent to parallel park and held back, but it wasn't as dumb a mistake as you're suggesting it was.

[@ChaseWilder]

Dude didn’t even try and reverse or anything just sat there and let them hit him. Should have taken action moment reversing lights came on.

[@ExplodingCabbage]

@@ChaseWilder We don't know that from what we can see in the video. For all we know he may have been unable to reverse due to another car behind him, and may have been leaning on his horn.

2:10 So it turns out J is an absolute weapon. Firstly trying to overtake a cyclist within yards of a junction instead of waiting like a normal person (I bet the extra 3 seconds you had to wait really made a difference to your day). Then speeds up to get through an amber light [you can literally hear him jam on the accelerator] just to abscond a pedestrian (albeit an idiotic pedestrian). Learn to drive mate

[@Kieran.Robertson]

It’s perfectly legal to speed up to make it through an amber light, some road organisations even recommend it in certain situations

[@poglewood1691]

​@@Kieran.RobertsonAmber light means stop, unless it's unsafe to do so.

[@davem9204]

To be fair to J on this one, the light turned to amber just as they got to the line, so they were perfectly entitled to carry on. The pedestrian was an idiot, and J's honk was far too late.

2:20 - yes, that's a sensible move on the part of the cyclist, it's called 'taking primary position' - in preventing the overtake, they keep themselves safe from idiots who think it's a great idea to overtake approaching a junction. Like J here.

[@Hoozpoppin]

02:20 IMO the cyclist was bang on; you were going to overtake after hard acceleration towards a junction with more than one vehicle entering the road. The cyclist was a vulnerable road user with great foresight.

[@btuckervideos4705]

Nick D at 4:22, a proper muppet - could see the car in front breaking and indicating for a space, it was clear to anyone with eyes what the car in front was doing, i.e. will be reversing into the space. Use your eyes and give them the space to reverse into the parking spot

100% agree. Piss poor caption. "Driver fails dangerous and pointless overtake" would be an alternative.

[@v6i838]

I’ve always assumed the captions come from the cammers themselves when they email their clips in

[@Roamer17]

The uploader was quoting the submitter of the clip, hence the quotation marks. Considering it's such a touchy subject (even though it shouldn't be - I cycle everywhere myself and know all too well about that) I think it's a sensible thing to do to let people judge for themselves.

[@lanista78]

Exactly this. The cyclist has done nothing wrong. Many drivers do this unfortunately, overtaking a cyclist 20m from the junction or bus stop (for bus drivers) to cut him immediately is absolutely unnecessary and risky movement. No one loses anything if you stay behind for about 5 more secs.

[@haveabossday]

I think the caption was from the cammer for this one, its the only one with quotation marks

For Nick D's clip, I appreciate that the reversing car was absolutely at fault for that careless reverse. With that being said, it's disappointing how few people have any idea about people looking to parallel park, and just blindly drive right up behind people who have clearly indicated that they intend to do so. I have to parallel park on my road where I live, and the amount of times I've had to abandon doing so is insane, purely because people don't think to stop until they are a few inches behind you.

[@kittyhawk9707]

easy enough to spot but there may have been some confusion as to where the car was going. it looked like he could have been indicating to take the left turn after the parked cars. the way to ensure that nobody closes down the space is to indicate and pull up next to the space, not in front, wait until traffic behind stops and then pull forward and manoeuvre into the space.

@@alanmtbuk: "There was plenty of time and room for the saab to slow down and let the cammer finish" The cammer - and how many cars after him, too? I've been in that exact situation many times: the first one goes into the opposite lane, and dozens of cars are following suit - everybody thinking "When the oncoming traffic waits for the first one, he'll have to wait for all the following, too." I would have done the same as the Saab driver: not to make them reverse the whole length of the obstacle (which wouldn't work anyway, because there would be six to nine more vehicles behind them), but to stop them long enough to realize what a crappy move that was. And the chances are better that the rest of the oncoming traffic realizes that they shouldn't follow the backed up queue of cars on the wrong side of the road. When you have to stop because a steady queue of cars is coming down your own lane - when do you think is the right moment to stop them from doing that?

[@hippopotamus86]

JediVagina or whatever his name is.

[@itchyscratch3829]

I thought the same, maybe we see their footage next week..."driver passes bus without giving way (ignore me accelerating to block)"

[@bitmadmax]

02:15 oh dear, this clip didn't quite get the anti-cyclist reaction J or the channel owner hoped for! 😂😂

1:45 Nothing like a hit and run

[@Vanessa.1990]

Damn first clip. Glad people made him aware he was the idiot. When cammer overtook other car was not even in sight. He sped up to block him. 😂

[@Stonecoldsteve-m5s]

I’ve had an idiot do exactly the same thing to me, there was a gap I could have pulled into to let them past and they sped up to block it

[@juliegreen7604]

@Vanessa.1990 To be fair the only reason you can't see the approaching vehicle is because the cammer pulled out behind the vehicle in front, so couldn't actually see if the road was clear or not. The cammer clearly performed a dangerous overtake by pulling out into the opposing carriageway when they couldn't see whether it was safe or not. And, yes the oncoming vehicle was just being a dick by not making the cammer's poor driving a non-issue. Two wrongs don't make a right as they say. But had the cammer not been directly behind the other vehicle, the oncoming one would have been clearly visible.

[@Pancakegirl12343]

@vanessa clearly blind as the cammer dude when he followed the car to overtake u can see the on coming car clearly on dashcam so the driver should of clearly seen it before we can on dashcam. its cammer fault for being an idiot and following the car in front without looking.

[@Vanessa.1990]

@@Pancakegirl12343 he stopped briefly, also incoming car was still far away. Why would you block a car that could easily gone in the gap and go on you're way. He just did himself dirty 🤷‍♀️

[@TheSeafordian]

Yay. Bishopstone.

[@JVerschueren]

7:20 "what was that?" -a car hidden by an A-pillar and a honking big set of mirrors. Yeah, HGV driver should have been aware of that, but we all have lapses / get pre-occupied and events conspired to where the cam car had to stop. It's the end of the world, I tell ya!!

[@TheWeardale1]

cyclist right to use the whole lane of a road

[@mrxmry3264]

Yep. Safety is more important. If the car can't overtake, tough. And if we cyclists don't look out for our own safety, then WHO WILL?

[@SVEVelsen]

No they're not. Blocking the road is illegal. Go join JSO if you believe that BS. Never cause nuisance or danger out of entitlement.

[@TheWeardale1]

@@SVEVelsen in the uk this is the case, check the highway code..! riding in the centre of their lane on quiet roads, in slower-moving traffic and at the approach to junctions or road narrowings.

[@mrxmry3264]

@@SVEVelsen "Never cause nuisance or danger out of entitlement." tell that to all the stupid drivers who treat us cyclists like dirt because they "pay road tax" and we don't. besides, riding in the middle of the lane has nothing to do with entitlement but with getting to my destination in one piece. and yes, that is something i, as a road user, am entitled to.

[@radishpea6615]

00:15 silly overtake of a school bus. 1:44, cammer going to fast, hang on 'the same cammer that went OTT with the horn at 1:36. 4:41, I wonder how many people guessed what the car in front of the cammer was going to do, I hope a lot. 5:42, I hope if I ever come across this cammer they are in front and not behind as they seemed slow to react

[@David_D.]

Was the Saab driver JediAvenger? 🤔

[@SamOwenI]

Haha, but in all seriousness, it can't be because of the lack of horn use.

" how did you manage that then" Maybe because wolfe, you took up both lanes on the roundabout thinking you were on a racetrack, and collided with the car on the inside lane

[@anto687]

1:44 Mike you're not on the bike now, gaps aren't as easy to squeak through!

[@rickyturner2742]

It's not upto Mike to stop. But it's upto the other driver to stop as he's the one having to pull out because of parked cars or car. About time you read the Highway Code

[@AlexSwanson-rw7cv]

First clip. Oncoming driver was being a bit of a tool, but also it looks like the cammer followed the other car past the obstruction without being able to aee for themselves it was clear due to the car in front blocking their view. This can sometimes be very annoying, eg when you end up sitting there with priority as car after car bullies their way through anyway.

[@JesterRlP]

Big shout out to the great names this week,"Thermionic Valve" and "YouPromisedMeCake" 😂 kudos to you 👍

[@ricequackers]

0:34 I love how two pedestrians including that teen shamed that Saab driver into reversing back! 2:10 There's absolutely no point in overtaking a cyclist on a downhill or on the approach to a junction. Same vibe as Verstappen's "he moved under braking" whine. 3:38 The clues were there, could see the bumper of the car but its driver didn't have line of sight to the cammer. Always ask "have they seen me?" in these situations. Good save regardless.

[@hal27621]

0:44 that kids a legend

[@MickHodgson-q1k]

"Pedestrian run out," but if you had stopped at the previous lights as you should have ,there would be no issue.

[@kevinszymkowiak1010]

The pedestrian and kid at the beginning supporting the cammer 😂😂😂😂 that's made my Monday morning
